"Happiness begins where selfishness ends."- John Wooden
Makai has been resting his body for his game tomorrow. Kali and Jayda joined him in a ice bath even though they don't need it.
They were talking about what happened to Makai at the club. "That bitch can die fr." Kali said and Jayda agreed. Kali was always the fighting one and Jayda is quiet but could get crazy. Makai he's a calm person but when he gets mad there better be a policeman near by to take him down because he is crazy. People don't see that side of him though because he's always nice to people so there no reason to see him angry.
"This shit cold asf." Jayda said and Kali nodded her head.
"Y'all are some pussies." Makai said and they started throwing ice at him. He started covering his face.
After they got out, They were going out to eat and Kali invited her man. Same for Jayda, she invited lil baby. Makai's two friends felt bad that he didn't have someone to love him like they're man does them.
Makai used to love the affection in college but now he just wants to be alone. He suffered a heartbreak a year ago is what they don't know. Makai and some boy on his basketball team was were dating and he cheated on Makai with some white boy from New York.
Ever since then, Makai has never wanted another relationship or anybody to live with him. He thinks he'll never find his soulmate and will never find someone who loves him.
Makai had got dressed and washed his face. The two girls left so they can get ready. He didn't really wanna go because it seemed like a double date and he doesn't like being a third wheel but they invited him. They want him to go and catch up with them so bad.
He got in his car and left to the restaurant. His phone had rung and it was Kali. He answered it through his car screen. "Yes Kali?" He asked with a slight attitude."Don't get a attitude with me Makai. When you get there we sitting at table 9." She said.
"Alright I'm almost there." He replied and they hung up the phone. Once Makai hit the back road he started speeding down the road. Going 99 mikes per hour.
He got to the restaurant and got the car ready to order him a plate of pasta. "Welcome to Craft Los Angeles. Can I get you a table or is there one reserved?" The worker had asked.
"There's a reservation and my friends are already here. The table number is 9." I said and she guided me to that table.
He seen them sitting down and sat in a chair in between Kali and Jayda. "Wassup." Duke said dapping up Makai. He then moved to dap up lil baby. They sat down and talked about there careers and what they liked about it.
"So I heard you got a game tomorrow?" Duke asked and he nodded.
"Against the warriors." Makai said nonchalantly.
Duke started talking about how he's gonna go to the game and see if I can play or not. "You talking like your a nba retired player or something." Makai said and Kali thought it was rude.
"Kai" Kali said.
"Nah it's ok Kali. I'm just saying I wanna see what you got. If you really know what you doing or if you really belong." Duke explained and Makai sighed.
"Whatever man. Idk how you gonna tell me if I belong or not if you not even in the NBA to tell me if I belong or not." Makai said rolling his eyes.
"I'm just saying. The NBA don't want a fruity cake in the league." Duke said and everyone looked at Kali. Makai and Jayda now know how Duke figured that out.
"You told him my secret." Makai said and the waitress came to the table.
"My name is Joy!What would you guys like today?" The joyful waitress asked. Everyone was silent for a few seconds.
"I'm leaving." Makai said putting 300 dollars on the table for everyone's meal and leaving. The lady look worried for him but didn't say anything. He went to his car and drove off going back home where he wanted to be in the first place.
He had shed a few tears on the way there.
When he pulled in through the gate he opened his garage and parked his car. He took a shower and got in the bed. Kali and Jayda were blowing up his phone but he just turned it all the way off. He doesn't want to be bother by a lot of people.
