Same world but WE are not the same

VI. Morning after

London POV

I rolled over to Ty snoring last night; it was definitely a good night, and I can't believe we even did that, but no lie, it doesn't change anything I'm still focused on my finances and don't have time for relationship drama. I grabbed my phone and bag and called Lexi to come pick me up.

Once I got in the house, I instantly took a shower. "So how was it?" Lexi said she was getting into bed.

"Girl, there's no denying Dick's goodness." I understand why those b*tches act the way they do. Just don't change anything. I don't want any relationships right now, just strictly business."

"Girl, bye; you say that now, but we shall see." She said she was flipping through Netflix.

I started going through my Facebook feed; everyone was posting their pictures from last night and talking about last night. I wanted to text Ty. I mean, no, I don't. I mean, I don't know, ya'll.

"Girl, let's go chill with the boys at the court," Lexi said, getting up and going into the bathroom.

"Okay, I'm down. Let's go." grabbing my keys, I said. 

Ty POV

I can't even lie; just dipped and left, but I guess it's fine. The boys and I decided to go to the basketball court, and I'm always happy to whoop these niggas.

"Pass the ball, bro," Christian said, getting mad. That nigga is always getting mad.

"You'll just pass the ball; you know how he gets," I said, chuckling. I went to get some water and saw London and the girls getting out of the car.

"Wassup, TY." Lexi said

"Wassup, Lexi, how are you today?" I replied, giving her a hug.

"I'm good; last night was fun and light. "I have to do that again."

"Yeah, it definitely was a night to remember; I definitely will replay the night soon," I said, looking at London. That girl was fine as hell—drop-dead gorgeous, from her style to her attitude. 

Yes, please allow me to leave by going down to the court. Let me go to my man; I know that's the odd energy that follows intercourse." She claimed to be strolling down the steps .

"So... you just left this morning; I couldn't even get breakfast?" I approached her and completely occupied her space as I spoke.

"Hello to you too, and no, we don't have to start a relationship that will end badly or damage an existing one. It's not like you bitches will let you be. No thank you, you," she rolled her eyes. "I would hate to have to put a bitch down for playing with me and mine in a relationship.

"We already started, but yeah, yeah, you right, let me back off, off, that's all you had to say, but for the record, I don't have anyany bitches; I'm a single man, and honestly, I ain't found the right one to make me want to settle down, so until then, I'll be doing me and. being on my money, making Meech shit." I told her that I was holding her hand while I walked down the slope to keep her from falling.

"Thank you, you, and I'm glad we're on the same page, so we're good?" I'm going to take a seat, she said.

"Yeah, we're good, shorty." briefy."Aye, let me get the ball and let's start the game up," I remarked as I made my way back to the court.

Ty Pov is over.

In all honesty, they were terrified to admit their feelings for one another, or they simply weren't aware of them yet. Every now and then, Ty would glance at London while he was playing, which would distract him. "Why am I thinking about this girl so much?" he asked himself. Is it even appropriate for me to be considering women?" RL so much? Should I be considering women at all? "" She was on his mind all the time. After the boys had finished their game of ball, they all went to get some food. from the street-side supper.

London POV

The dinner is my favorite since it's the one time when we can all hang together without having to worry about work. As soon as I opened the door, I noticed Brian. Without a doubt, I wanted to talk. wanted to go speak without a doubt.

"Hey, stranger," he said, offering his blunt to me and giving me an embrace.

I went, "Wassup, long time no see; you've been dodging me since you owe me from the bet," puffing and returning the object.returning it ass.

"Which wager? I have no idea what you are discussing or talking about "he remarked.

Taking a drink from the cooler, I responded, "Yeah, I bet it's live in here tonight." from the refrigeration unit.

"Yeah, ol dude, getting ready to go PRO..." .PRO.

"Who is this elderly guy? Hey, dude?"I chuckled as I spoke. chuckling.

"Jackson, are you the Jackson you knew in high school? He was friendly back then, and he's even more friendly now.right now."

"Ohhh yeah, yeah, fatty Jackson, oh, oh, how could I forget he had the biggest crush on, um, um, what's that girl name?" I mentioned I was reflecting on my time in high school.

Yes, Jade, he did hook up with her, but their relationship didn't work out. outside.I suppose that not everything that you find enjoyable was meant to be." He claimed to be sipping from his drink.

That is indeed the case, but allow me to return to my people. individuals.Brian, I adore you. Later, I'll text you. I remarked as I slid into the booth next to Lexi and walked away. Lexi.

"That is not Brian Bae."Sweetie. I'm in love with you, Brian; he told everyone she wasn't in the closet yet." She She spoke loudly.

"Well, in case they were unaware, they now are. You loud ass now. I swear I can't tell you stuff. swear."

"Opps," I apologize, but what are you eating? eating?A burger comes to mind, but I'm not sure. "Know." She declared that she She claimed to be scrolling through the menu.

"I want a hot dog and a boatload of fries." ,

"A load on the boat? You're fat," chuckled Christian. chuckling.

"Ya mama bitch, and that's my mama, but right now don't count." I told him I was getting off of him.

This attractive woman approached the table as we were conversing. lovely.I don't despise women. When credit is due, I give it.

"Hey Ty," she murmured. stated.

"Wassup Alisha." He claimed to be embracing her. Her ass was really, really large.There I go, you see. Proceed.

Nothing, I just had to show up and talk. talk.I'm here for my cousin's scousin's farewell celebration."

"Yeah, Jackson, right, yeah, yeah, dam, I always knew Nigeria would go pro some day," he replied. stated.

"Yes," you're correct; we are quite proud of him. What's been going on for you? We should catch up if you're not too busy. Says she.

"No, I'm not. No.Let's take a seat now."" He declared that he was leaving the table.

"This is my song, ooooou. In your words, what will you do for Big Mama? Mom? What am I really going to receive on my birthday? birthday?"As I was leaving the booth and dancing, I said.

I heard someone behind me remark, "I don't know, but you can have whatever it is that you want."

I spun around to find myself facing a very tall, wave-toothed, brown-skinned, tattered figure. He didn't mind at all that God was taking his time with him.

You barely remember me, London. "Hey Jackson girl, how are you doing?" He claimed to be embracing me. I knew I had to keep my lips hanging open. He used to be obese Jackson, but how did he get so beautiful? When did he get this beautiful?

"Hey, indeed I am. I'm doing fine. Mr. Pro Athlete, how are you doing?"

"I can't even lie; I'm good. I'm experiencing a high. I'm going to come find you, but first, let me go holla at some folks because I can't get over it. Man, you still look great. man.You seem much more gorgeous than I recall, and it hasn't even been that long. extended shorty." briefy.He claimed to be cuddling my brother and giving Lexi a hug.

"Damn girl, concentrate on the money only; not Jackson on your top."She claimed to be creating air quotations.

"No, ma'am, ma'am. All I'm doing is being polite and nice to an old friend," the speaker said. When I declared that my money was my primary priority, I meant it. concentrate. "I mentioned that I was preparing to. place my food order.

Yes, yes, well, just keep you in mind, my sister, and I am aware of it. You don't come out here and start feeling things for these niggas," Christian remarked.

"Boy, boy, stop talking so much; she deserves to fall in love." someone.She wants someone to help her because she is a money-making bitch who is clever and attractive, has a goodsmart, and a decent head on her shoulders.

"MONEY MAKING NIGGA, NIGGA," we chuckled as we pronounced it together.

"But no, folks, I'm concentrating on my finances and preparing to take charge." Have no time for diversions. diversions ".

After we finished our meal, Ty had returned to the group, and we were all smiling, giggling, and enjoying ourselves. Jackson was seen strolling by.

London says she wants to share a sundae with me. You don't have to, after all.

"What? No, what? I said, "You had me a split sundae," got up, and followed him out of the booth.

"Yeah, can I get one, please?" He turned back to face me, saying he was speaking with the waitress.

"What?" I said, flushed.

"Not one. It's unbelievable that you still look this wonderful. I pondered. You would have benefited greatly. bunch of weight.had three children."

"Nigga, what excuse me?" I said, attempting to swear at him.

"I'm kidding, you did. preparing to annoy me. out, dude," remarked he.

"Don't. play with me like that, but no, I'm still my size."

"And it continues to look fantastic. I adore it, but before I go, let me say this: your man.Come out of hiding; I don't need to bash you up before I leave."

"Human? The Lord and my money are the only men I have and need."

"The Lord is beyond argument, but why don't you have any men discussing money? To save money, you need a man who can provide that for you."

"Nah, I can't depend on no man for my bread because when it gets hard and sticky, I need my own." I stated. awaiting the sundae with excitement.

You might say that I'm on the same page, I suppose. With me set to become PRO, I don't have time for a girlfriend. I'm not going to have time."

"Is that why you and Jade didn't work?" Digging in, I said.

Yes, she was unable to cope with me receiving so much attention and having so many girls approach me. Her insecurities truly surfaced after she lost the weight. My weight was the only reason she was with me. I gave her a nice appearance." He remarked

"Dam, I'm sorry."

"No, it's awesome." I'm happy I discovered it when it became apparent to me."

"Yeah, and you didn't need no one insecure around you; then she'll be getting jealous next weird shit."

Indeed, but I do love spending time alone myself. I do need a little woot woot right now because no one is trying to control or dictate to me."

There are plenty of them in Florida; you won't have any trouble finding them. Where are you going in California? Not me, though."

"No, I'll have to have a wife with you; you have to watch me play with all the other wives and girlfriends from inside the box. I have to take you out first, and tomorrow morning I'm heading to California."

"I'm game for the date, but I'm not seeking for that. Perhaps after you return?" As I finished the sundae, I said.

"How would you feel if I occasionally took you on a flight? We can start off slow; that's okay, be my best buddy. After I get comfortable up there, I can fly you out for the weekend or the week, whatever you're down with."

"Fly me out?" I stated

Indeed, as well. I'll give you money. for whatever you lose out on at work once I'm settled," he uttered.

You don't have to give me money. I manage my own finances and am my own employer, so let me consider it and other options. FaceTime and phone calls will undoubtedly help us get to know each other first."

"I just don't want to be unable to take you out, so of course it will take me a minute to get settled. I'm not sure when I'll return, but you adore Cali so much. Have you ever gone before?"

"Not at all. No, I haven't."

"You see, come visit," he added as he moved. I return to my friends.

"Please give it some thought; I've locked this number. I'll text you after I check in." I told him I was going to SMS myself while using his phone.

"All right, wager. He gave me a hug and added, "Well, Ms. London, you have a great night and you'll be easy."

"Mhmm, I can't wait to hear what that was about later." Walking to the car, Lexi said.

"I know you can't make me nosey, but you know I'm ready to tell you soon as we get home." .

I showered when we got home. Okay, so spending the entire day in that heat wasn't fun. Nevertheless, as soon as I was outside, I texted Jackson to let him know that I had locked him in and to have a safe trip the following morning.
