Jordan
I remove my footlocker shirt as soon as I parked in the parking lot of the rec center in the city. Almost every other day a couple of friends of mine and I play a few games of pick up basketball. Sometimes it's for fun but it's a little more fun when money is involved.
I always try to make a little extra money on the side because footlocker not cutting it....I'm still living with my parents. To think I was almost drafted and it got taken away from me. I still work on developing my skills whenever I can.
Grabbing my gym bag I get out of my car and lock the doors and start heading inside. It was a little cold so I was basketball running trying to get inside where the heat is at. When you walk in the courts are right there next to the front desk and all the other workout equipment is upstairs. I see my friends sitting on the bleachers they have and dap them up.
"You just got off work?"
"Yeah I came straight here once y'all sent the text good thing I had my gym bag already in the car."
"Ayo so the Lawson brothers are here and they brought there sister along with them."
"Since when did they have a sister", I ask.
"They been always had a sister it was just she was home schooled so we don't really know here."
Looking across the court I see a girl stretching and laughing at something Miles had said. When I tell you this girl is beautiful I'm talking about beautiful with two Ls she's drop dead gorgeous in my opinion. My best friend Ralen hits my side and I grab it.
"Oww man!"
"Stop staring."
"I'm sorry I can't help it."
"Well stop because Mason, Miles, and Micah don't play about her and to save you the heartbreak she is blunt as hell and will hurt your feelings without even trying."
"Man she not going to hurt my feelings I'm different", I smile.
He just shakes his head and continues to lace up his shoes. The game on the court was over and me and the guys hope on and so do the Lawson guys and their sister. I immediately get on a speed walk and stand next beside her clearly stating that I'm guarding her and vice versa. I mean this should easy especially with my height I'm putting babygirl on a poster.
"To make it more interesting let's put some money on it...twenty dollars from each player."

When I tell y'all they whooped our ass so bad. I mean I knew the three brothers played on varsity teams but little bit damn. I mean she was crossing my ass up and even made me fall one time. I pull out my wallet and get a twenty out and rush over to the side of the court she was on.
"You played a good game out there, my name is Jordan."
She shakes my hand," thanks and it's Mickey."
"So what school did you go to?"
"I didn't go to public school."
"Private?"
"Look I barely know you so I'm not going to spill my business just because you think you're cute."
"So you think I'm cute", I smile.
She grabs her duffel bag and starts walking away to meet her brothers by the front desk.
"Mickey I'm sorry I got too ahead of myself, but can I get to know you."
" I don't know we'll see."
She then jogs to where her brothers are waiting at leaving the building.
