Once a Player, Always a Player [ON HOLD]

Chapter 8

" Hey honey, how was your first day?" Mom asked with a comforting smile as she kept working on some papers for a interview for the August edition

of Seventeen Magazine.

My mom is a beautiful lady, in fact many people sometimes ask us if we're sisters. She's basically a replica of Jessica Alba, but with chocolate brown , curly hair like mine.

Even thought we sorta look alike, I mostly got my looks from my dad.

I didn't really know the man; he walked out of my live at the age of five, but that doesn't mean I don't remember him.

---Flashback---

"Come on Honey shoot it in the basket!" My dad beamed happily at me.

"She shoots!!.... And... SHE SCORES! The crowd goes wild! Ahhhh, Niomie Lewis just led the team to another victory!"

*little kid giggles/laughs*

"Hahah your funny Daddy! Do you really think I can do that one day Daddy?" I asked my dad with a big smile that made my cheeks ache.

"Of course you can Sweetheart, your a Lewis. I believe that you can do anything if you just believe. And I hope that one day, I can live to see that moment and enjoy it with you." He looked down ate with such hopeful eyes.

"You will always be here for me, right daddy?" Shining my big eyes to my hero.

"I will always be here no matter what."

"Promise?" I held out my tiny pinkie.

"I promise." He vowed

"Love you Daddy!"

"And I will always love you too Kiddo." Till my very last breath." He said while engulfing me into a huge bear hug.

---End of Flashback---

Who knew that, that would be the very moment I would share with him....

I was suddenly brought out of my thoughts as my mom suddenly asked,

"Hey honey are you free tonight?" She asked so suddenly.

"Yeah mom, why?" I said with my eyebrows raised.

"Well my friend Linda invited us to her house for dinner! And I was hoping you might want to come!" Mom asked with a big happy grin on her face.

"Sure mom, why not." I said with a smile. I mean, come on the lady needs friends so why not help her out?

"Great! Okay go put on something nice! We leave in an hour! And guess what? She only lives three houses away! Cool right?!"

"Yeahhhh Nice. Okay then... Ill just go get ready then."

*One Hour Later*

"Oh honey, I forgot to tell you, Linda said that she had a son, but I forgot to ask what age he was, so of you get bored, uncomfortable, or something, just tell me so I can tell Linda that we need to leave early." Mom said as she straightened out her floral navy skirt.

I actually managed to wear my nice Hollister white skirt with a cute red hauler top and my red Toms. I pulled my hair down and braided the left side, and as for make-up, I washed the make-up that I had earlier and went natural.

When we finally arrived at the house, I noticed how similar the house looked like ours, in fact all the houses in the neighborhood were made kinda similar.

To tell you the truth, I'm kinda nervous e to meet this Linda person. I mean, what if she's scary? Or is a undercover witch or part of a mafia? And don't get me started on her son! What if he's a perve? Or a scary clown or a...

"Hi Cindy! Glad you could join us!"

"Thank you so much for having us!" Mom said to the beautiful petite women in front of us.

"And you must be Niomie! It's really nice to meet you!" She exclaimed

"Yes ma'am that would be me, and you have a beautiful home." I said like the angel I am.

"Oh honey, thank you, but not as beautiful as you are! Just look at you! Your stunning! My son would just drop dead if he saw you!" I blushed like a tomato as she lead us toward the dining table.

"We'll where do you think she gets it from Linda!" My mom joked

"Well they Hell don't get it by them selfs that for sure." They joked. " Speaking of that, let me just call my son, he should be arriving any minute."

Well I don't think her son is like six or something,so he must be around my age or something.

Right on key, the door bell runged and a familiar voice came into reach.

"Hey mom, is the visit here yet?" That angelic voice asked his mother.

"Oh yes! They're already here, there already at the dining table! I want you to meet them!" His mom exclaimed as they got closer to us.

HOLY FUDGE NUGGETS!

Those familiar radiant........

Grey eyes.
