Christina's POV

"Ant hold my hand, please." I told him as we began to walk through the crowd of people. Security made room for us as we walked through the hallways toward the court.

I was keeping my eyes open for Kam and the rest of the gang as we were escorted to our seats.

I spotted Kam talking to Tone and X. Once we had gotten to our seats security left but stay close by. "Hey y'all"

"Hey boo, hi babies" Kam spoke hugging Bria and I.

"Hi Aunty" Ant responded waving up at her.

"Wow, you're like what 18 now?" Tone joked to Ant.

"No, I'm" He looked at his fingers to make sure he had the correct number up before putting up the number four. "Four"

"I don't know. You look too tall to be four?" Tone continued.

"Uncle Phe phe said I was tall too" Ant smiled looking up at me.

"And you're still growing. You're only going to get taller. Maybe even taller than your dad." I spoke. Ant was elated from all this talk about him being tall . At the moment that was his dream, to be as tall as his daddy. I thought it was so cute how much Ant looked up to him.

"Chris, you good?" I looked at Tone realizing I had just zoned out before nodding my head. "You looked like you was getting abducted by aliens or something?" He snickered.

"Tone do not start."

"I'm just playing. It's good to see you," he said before giving us a hug.

I formally introduced Bria to X and to his little crew. They had met on facetime but this was different. They were excited but of course Bria was fast asleep in my arms.

We said our hellos before taking our seats. I sat next to Kam with her duo and then Zenia, X, his girl Tif, and then Tone. B mack showed up later with his wife and daughter. Taking up the seats next to Tone.

"So who y'all got to win?" Tone asked.

Kam and I just looked over to where he sat.
"This game or the series?" B Mack entertained.

Kam and I started our own conversation as that one wasn't something we wanted to discuss. We felt that whatever happened happened but obviously we each wanted our man to win.

Honestly right now, I was just hoping that the coach would put Andy in. He had been back for two weeks and had yet to touch the floor. I also knew if he didn't I wouldn't hear the end of it.

Omniscient

It was the start of the second quarter and the first quarter was shot for shot. The score was 28-25 Lakers. Andrew sat on the bench antsy to get out on the floor. He knew that he could make a big difference for his team. Since they were still up, it made Andrew relax a little.

Peters dribbled the ball up the court he swung it to bush and bush sinks it, score now 31-25. It's Clippers ball and Hill dribbles up the court. He passes to Gibson and Gibson attacks the middle before swinging it back out to Hanes.

When Gibson throws it to Hanes. Christina flinched seeing the ball coming towards her. She laughs with relief when someone catches it. She looks back seeing the guy dribbling the ball before he hits the guy guarding him with a quick step back nailing the three. He puts up the number three like this👌🏽 staring straight at Christina as he smiles knowing that one was for her.

Lance didn't care that Christina got back with her ex. He believed that she would be better with him. It was something about her that Lance couldn't shake. It was almost all he thought about.

Christina looked away. She chalked it up that to her seeing things. No way was he that bold. Only she was proven wrong when he did it again and again and again.

Kam nudged her friend. "What the fuck?" She whispered.

"Girl" Christina thought, confused herself. She was becoming angry. What was he trying to prove? They were over and this was hella inappropriate.

"I don't know what he's trying to prove but he better quit. I don't need anymore drama." Christina said truthfully. Andrew and her were in a really good spot and she just wanted it to stay that way, forever.

Christina looked to the bench to see Andrew staring at Lance. It was easy for Christina to know he was beyond upset, from the way his eyebrows furrowed together to his tense body posture.

"Why the hell he keep looking over here?" X said. His hand sat on his arm as he pointed at Lance as he walked away after a timeout was called. His eyebrows were furrowed together and he looked down towards Kam and Christina. 

"He a weirdo" Kam said as she shrugged her shoulders. "Clearly he has a problem."

"Clearly" Tone said

"We'll see about that" B Mack added.

"I need Andrew to get in this game." Christina said shifting the mood.

Christina's POV

"Yeeessss" I spoke as I danced with my class doing the new routine I had just taught them. I was currently doing a routine with my expert class. I was so proud, they were flawlessly nailing the new dance she had been teaching them. Which is why I have a special surprise for them.

"You ladies did such an amazing job today. I look forward to seeing you next week." I smiled. 

I hung around the studio before returning to my office. I looked at the time before calling Andrew. He was suppose to be meeting me for lunch. He had been keeping up with his promise up about meeting me twice a week but I was worried.

His team had lost yesterday and being he still hadn't played yet, it was hard on him. He smiled and acted like he was fine but I could tell he was still sad. He didn't answer so I decided to pop up on him.

I drove to grab us food before I headed to his place. I figured he'd be there moping around. Seeing his car in the driveway only prove my point. I noticed another car a furrowed my eyebrows.

I unlocked the door going inside. I heard noise so I went in that direction. I heard a familiar voice and then I heard Andy. I walked into the room with a smirk on my face. This motherfucker ditched me to hang out with his little friends.

"Christina, what's up?" X said as him and Andrew we're playing the video game together. On the other end of the room sat Tone and B Mack at another screen also playing some freaking video game.

Andrew did a double take seeing me at the door. "Baby, shit what time is it?"

"2:30" I said not even checking my watch.

Andrew got up disregarding the game. "Hey," he pecked my lips leading me into the kitchen. "I totally lost track of time. My bad. Oouu, you brought me food." He smiled at me.

"No," I said shifting the food away from him. "I bought this food for me." I sat the food down on the counter taking out both boxes of food. I moved them in front of me as a point that they were indeed both mine.

I took a bite of the food I had gotten him knowing the chicken was his favorite. "Mhm" I moaned acting as if this was the best meal I had ever eaten.

I went to grab another bite of it when he leaned in taking it off of my fork. I playfully rolled my eyes going to grab another bite. This time he grabbed my hand moving it towards his as he ate the chicken off the fork.

"I hope you're sleeping here." I teased
