Love and Basketball (COMPLETE)

Chapter 31

Skipping to March 14,Saturday fun....

April's P.O.V

"Mom...where is daddy?"Chloe says

"He went somewhere with Uncle DJ for a few hours"I respond

"When is he coming back?"she says

"I don't know baby girl"I say,playing in her hair

She nods and walks upstairs.

She's such a daddy's girl.

Blake's P.O.V

"Ha,I won!"I exclaim,jumping up off the couch

DJ and Matt sat on the couch pouting.Me and Chris high fived each other.

So I'm excited because I get to play in the game tomorrow.They call this Return Of The Beast.

Amazing.

I have to wear an arm sleeve with padding on it though.

But m good to go.

March 15th,Rockets vs. Clippers....

Blake's P.O.V

I watched Chloe occupy herself with my phone while she sat behind the bench.DJ was talking to her as well.

Probably trying to use my phone.

The Rockets called a timeout right after we tied the game at 96 in the 4th quarter.

I played the rest of the 4th quarter as we lost 100-98.

Bad score...yeah,I know.

I went over to Chloe and picked her up.She wrapped her arms around my neck,

"You did good daddy,and you just returned"she says

I nod.My mouth guard was hanging off the side of my mouth.So Chloe took that as her opportunity to take it from my mouth.

"I love you"I say,kissing her temple

"Ew,you're sweaty"she says,wiping her cheek

I chuckle and carry her into the locker room.She gave the fans some high fives as some of them took pictures.

The second I walked into the locker room with her,DJ took her from my arms.

He threw her up and down in the air while she giggled.

"DJ,she better not drop my phone"I say

She tosses the phone to me.I catch it and put it in my cubbin.I pull off my jersey and fling it to her.It lands on her head.Everyone laughed.

"Daddy"she groaned

I chuckled and took it off her head.

"If you're gonna put a Jersey on me,put it on me the right way"she says

Everyone instigated.I roll up the Jersey and have her slip her head and arms through the holes.

"Better?"I say,pulling it down all the way

She nods.I shook my head and smiled.I point to my cubbin and watch as she drags herself to it.She wrapped the towel around her eyes and laid under my coat.

She is such a little angel.

*****

"Chloe stop kicking my seat please"I say

She ignores me.

"Chloe!"I say

She stops and looks at me through the rearview mirror.DJ laughed.

"That's funny?"I say,glaring at him

"Yes"he says,still laughing

I roll my eyes.

"Haha my ass"I say

He stops laughing.

"Daddy give me your phone"she says

"No"I say

She kicks my seat again.

"That's why you're not getting the phone"I say

"DJ"she whined

He puts his hands up in defense after I glare him.

"Daddy why are you being mean to me?"she says

"Because you're acting up"I say

I watch her through the mirror.She folds her arms and pouts,looking out the window.

She can get mad all she want.
