One to blame

                    Cleo's POV

"Honestly I think we need some lemonade, this popcorn is dry today" I said to Deuce as we sat on the sidelines while Jayson played

I watched as Deuce nodded

"Come on before we choke to death" I said as I held my hand out

Just as we got up Jay walked over while putting his Celtics shirt over his uniform

"Bathroom break?" He asked

"No. Daddy this popcorn is nasty" Deuce said as he held up the popcorn box

"We're goin to get something to drink before one of us chokes to death" I added

"It can't be that bad" he said as he held out his hand

"You can keep it" Deuce said as he handed over the box

We both watched as Jay took a handful of popcorn out and shoved it in his mouth

His entire face shriveled up

"Yeah throw that shit away. Its stale" he said as he spit it back in the box

"Gatorade and water?" I asked

Jay just nodded his head before taking his seat

"Can I stay here with daddy?" Deuce asked as he looked up at me

I just looked at Jay for approval

Normally he'd come with me just in case they threw Jay back in the game

"Yeah I'm not goin back in until 4th quarter" he nodded

"Alright I'll be back with the drinks" I nodded before heading up the stairs

Waiting in line was the most nerve wracking thing because it seemed like the workers purposely went as slow as humanly possible

I didn't fault them though because I know how the serving business goes; they're probably overworked and sleepy.

I turned around to see how long the line was behind me..I don't know why but it was a habit

Maybe I'm just nosey

"Cleo?" The woman behind me asked

"Sorry do I know you?" I asked

Damn that sounded harsh

"It's me..Grace" she said as she took her glasses off

"Oh my gosh hey!" I said as we hugged

I haven't seen her since high school

There was 4 more people in front of me so I decided to chat

"Finally taking an interest in basketball?" I asked

"Hell no. My boyfriend dragged me out here" she groaned

"To see which team?"

"The Celtics, my man goes into fangirl mode whenever he sees Jaylen brown" she said as she rolled her eyes

I couldn't help but laugh a little at the thought of Jaylen having fans

Yeah he's good at his job but knowing him personally makes it funny because I know he's crazy as hell.

"You?" She asked

"Oh I um..I'm here with my man too" I giggled

"This seems like your scene" she nodded

"Yeah, this is my man's happy place. I enjoy watching him in his element" I smiled

"Lucky! My boyfriend's friend gave him court-side tickets as a gift for his birthday thinking he'd take the friend but nooo he chose me" she groaned
