Aaliyah's P.O.V. After driving for about 25 minutes we finally pulled up to the game place and I parked the car. Before I could even unbuckle my seatbelt Imani was out the car and walking inside. He walked straight passed Aubrey and inside not even acknowledging him.
"I'm sorry about him, I'm not sure what's going with him. He seemed a little off in the car but didn't say anything" I said as I met him at the door which he was holding open for me. We began to walk over to some tables that were across the room from the games.
"It's cool, I'm sure it has nothing to do with me."
"Yeah he has had a lot of ups and downs lately. One of his best friends was murdered here in LA a little over a year ago, so being here might be bringing up feelings he didn't know he had. And now he's going through some other personal stuff, but he's a strong kid he'll be ok. He knows I'm always there to support him." I explained as we got seated.
"Wow that's unfortunate, it's crazy how many kids are being killed. But like you said I'm sure he'll be fine. I haven't been around you guys long but I can tell you're an amazing mother." Aubrey replied placing his hand on top of mine.
"Thanks."
I smiled at him and blushed a bit but looked away to try to hide it, but I'm sure he saw. At first I wasn't sure if he was actually flirting or just being nice but now I know. He was definitely flirting.
"Do you want anything to drink? I was just about to head over to the bar." He said pointing over his shoulder at the bar.
"Umm...sure! I'm driving so I'll just have a sprite, thank you." I said smiling back at him as he got up and walked over to the bar.
Once he got over there I scanned the room to see where Imani went. He was over by the basketball shooting game with Bronny.
"Oh my gosh this kid! He knows he can't be playing that." I said to myself.
"Who Imani? No basketball before the big game?" Aubrey asked from behind me.
"Yup, and he knows better. I just spoke to his PT before we left New York."
"I'm sure he'll be fine but if you want I can't go over and remind him." Aubrey offered.
"Ya sure. I'm sure if I tell him again he'll say I'm nagging." I said with a laugh.
"Would you be a true mother if you didn't." Aubrey said laughing back.
He then placed our drinks down and began walking over to Imani and Bronny. —————————————— Imani P.O.V.
"Why is he coming over here?" I asked Bronny as we were playing the shooting game. Drake was cool and all but something in me got uncomfortable after watching him flirt with my mom.
