"No" I said gently pushing the lady off. "Am sorry but I can't do this with you. I don't want to sleep around and right now I just want to focus on my self and becoming better at basketball. If I end up finding the one meant for me in the future then I will thank God! But am still trying to get used to this whole fame thing and am still trying to enjoy this little happiness and peace I got." She frowned at this not taking a liking to what I was saying.
"Your a beautiful woman and any man should be lucky to have you including me but my instinct tell me this will not end well for both of us mostly me. I don't want to end up with another broken heart" I said softly she stared at me and her hard gaze soften.
"I wouldn't..." I cut her off knowing she was about to retaliate "you would at least not intentionally I can see that even after your ex hurt you. You still love him. I mean I can't blame you. He was your husband, the father of your child. The love you have for me would go away no matter if I was to love and care for you like never before. At the end of the day your heart will choose him over me"
I sighed gently moving her of my hard on "look you don't love me, neither do you have any affection for me. Yes you might see me as a good friend and acquaintance but this is not meant to be. Sleeping with me won't get rid of the hurt he did you neither will it get rid of your love for him. It will only cause you stress later on" I advised, her eyes widen at that and she looked at me.
She slowly moved off my lap and stood up "I don't got time for this shit! Am gone" She left before I could even say her name. Left with my penis up and hard. I was trying to find away to make it go down. I started to think of grannies in swim suit and it immediately went down.
I decided to watch some game film then get some sleep, as much sleep as I can cause I knew tomorrow will be some serious training.

The Next Day
Still ELIJAH'S POV:
6:20 AM
I was already in the gym doing stretches to keep my body flexible and agile. Doing splits and yes I could do splits. Once I was done with my 30 minutes stretching I moved to sit ups. I timed my self wanting to finish 150 sit ups in one minute.
By the time my timer ended I had completed all one hundred and fifty sit ups and had now switch to push ups attempting to do 100 push up in 1 minutes. I had done it successfully.
7:59 AM
"Good to see you already in the gym and getting some work outs in" The retired Lakers said upon walking into the gym.
"I wanted to get my self prepared for training today Mr. Bryant. Good morning!"
He stood and looked at me "now how many times have I told you not to call me Mr. It makes me feel old call me Kobe."
"Right! I forgot. What are we doing today Kobe?" I asked scratching the back of my head at calling him by his name. I was so used to calling people with titles.
Kobe just gave a little smile "today we will be working mostly on Defense, Rebound, getting around screens and Ball Handling. Then we will do some finishing drills."

12:30 PM
"That's it for today . Good job"
Wanting to continue I asked "Wait training is over. There isn't anymore drills to go over"
No kid. We will go over new drills next training. In first this is the last thing you have to do today for training" He spoke resting his hand on my shoulder, I looked at him confused "rest. Resting is a huge part of training. Too much training and not enough resting or investing in your body can put strain on your body."
"I know you like to spend at least two hour after practice to perfect what you learned and sometimes you can even forget that you stayed more than two hours in the gym but don't stress your self to much"
I nodded in understanding. I do tend to train a lot and not get enough rest. But if I don't train a lot how would I become the best player in basketball history. "You know why don't you sit, so we can talk" Kobe suggested. We walked to chairs by the side of the court and sat down.
"You know am proud of what you have achieve soo far" He said, my head snapped up in shock. What?
He just chuckled "I didn't go through nearly half the things you went but I know what it's like to be accused of rape. To have people call you names you don't have. It almost ruined my family. Your really strong to go through all that alone"
I didn't say anything but look down. I was more than just humiliated even a local street dog in Nigeria lived a better life than me. Every day of my life since I started to work was hell, bullied in school in Nigeria by school mates and by my sibling and their friends.
My own biological father abused me and tried to kill me before disowning because he considered useless. My own mother also disowned when I needed her most. The one person that showed me kindness was dead because he had bad family also. I had friends but I was afraid they would some day leave me and my team mates treat me like their brother but I was afraid it would end. I can only cry to GOD that he allows me to have this good things that are happening for me.
"You should join me and my family for dinner some time" I waved my hand no " no thank you. I don't want to cause problem between you and your wife." I know his wife doesn't like me and she probably still does. Unlike her husband she believed the bad thing said about me.
"Am sorry"
I looked at him "what? No you did nothing wrong" he sighed "my wife. I know she wasn't too kind to you"
"Don't worry about it. I guess she was just looking out for her daughters as a mother you know. There was a lot of bad things coming up about me a lot. Besides am used to it"
