" goodmorning mom. " Naomi spoke, coming down stairs.
" goodmorning! have you heard from Jalen? "
Monique replied.
stuff gets around fast here, and this is a prime example.
" no ma'am. " she spoke truthfully.
" well Dior is at practice. since you have today off i need you to stop by and check on him. " Monique smiled.
ever since last week when Naomi took Jalen home, Monique couldn't help but notice how cute they would be together.
Jalen's mom and Monique were very good friends. if it was the other way around Bri would've done the same.
" seriously? " Naomi asked. she wanted to enjoy her day off by relaxing and lounging around.
" yes seriously. Jalen hasn't been to school since Wednesday, it's saturday. he's going through it right now and he needs a friend. "
Naomi listened to her mom and realized she was right. if she got broken up with in front of the whole school she would need some cheering up as well.
" okay,you're right. i will. " Naomi replied getting up to take a shower.
2:43 pm
" here goes nothing. " Naomi exhaled as she got out of her car and started to Jalen's front door.
once she reached the door she rung the doorbell. a few moments later she was greeted by Jurnee, Jalen's little sister.
" hi Jurnee! " Naomi exclaimed before hugging her.
Jurnee didn't hesitate to jump and embrace her in a hug.
" hi Naomi! " Jurnee and Naomi were close. they talked a lot reason being there families were so close. Naomi was the big sister Jurnee always wished for.
" hey Nai, he's upstairs in his room. " Bri smiled before giving Naomi a hug as well.
Naomi headed up the steps and looked down the hall.
at the end of the hallway there was a door with Jalen's name on it, indicating it was his room.
she knocked on the door and waited for a response.
" come in. " Jalen lowly said. you can tell just from his voice that he wasn't in the best mood.
Naomi slowly opened the door. Jalens room was dark, the only light given was from his tv.
" hey. " Naomi said as she closed the door behind her. " i bought you some food. "
" Naomi? what are you doing here? " Jalen asked siting up and removing the covers from his body.
he wore no shirt, and black basketball shorts that slightly showed the band of his boxers. it was obvious he wasn't expecting company.
" i came to check on you, you haven't been at school. and i know you needed time to yourself." Naomi replied catching a glimpse at his body before sitting down in his gaming chair.
Jalen was taken back but he didn't let that show. he was happy Naomi came to check on him, he needed it.
" look Jalen, breakups aren't the end of the world. i know right now it might feel like it but i promise it gets better. you're Jalen Green. now your main focus can be basketball. let this be a fuel to your flame. " Naomi advised.
Jalen took in everything she was saying and realized she was right. he is Jalen Green, he can't let some girl knock him off his pivot. especially when it comes to chasing his dream.
" you're right. it's just alot of attention that came with the whole situation. hooper shade rooms was posting about it and it was all too much. but i can't let that stop me from getting shit done. " Jalen spoke honestly.
Naomi had seen the posts he was talking about. she's never been on a hooper shade room personally but Dior has. it was never for anything like this though. it was more so about what school he goes to, how he played, or him having a new girlfriend every week.
nonetheless, Naomi knows that the attention can be alot.
" i know. i bought you food. we can watch a movie or something if you want. " Naomi spoke handing Jalen the bag of chick fil a.
" thank you, what you tryna watch? " Jalen asked picking up his tv remote.
