Patient Love

Chapter 9: She's Back...

Rhyne's Pov

I sat on the doctors table swaying my feet back and fourth as I waited for the doctor to walk in the room. "Can't believe my baby got injured 2 months ago today" Naz said being dramatic. "Girl quit being extra, it was just a minor injury nothing major" I said shaking my head. "MINOR? Girl you haven't been on the court in 2 whole month's!" she whisper shouted. Just as I was about to respond the door opened revealing my doctor, with a happier look on his face since I last seen him. "Good afternoon ladies" he said greeting us, "morning doc, go ahead and drop it on me" I said getting straight to the point. 

"No Diddy" Naz said under her breath giggling. Dr. Smith chuckled slightly and turned his attention to me. "Well as you know after our last check up I told you how fast your bones were recovering" he continued, "well since then they've fully healed, BUT it is still very fragile so I would recommend about another week without playing and you should be cleared to play that following week" he finished. I smiled brightly hearing the great news, "that is perfect our next game is in 2 weeks so I should be straight, thank you so much" I said greatful.

"THANK YOU JESUS! HE WILL PROVIDE!" Naz shouted with her hands lifted into the air clapping. "I'm so sorry about her I should've left her in her crate" I joked making her side eye me. "It's all good she's quite funny, but have a good rest of your day Ms. Howard make sure you continue to wear a brace especially during play" he said biding his goodbyes and walking out the door. "My Rhy Rhy is back" Naz happily said hugging me tight. "Do not call me that ever again Nazzy" I said pointing at her. "But you let Naomi call you that" she said pouting. "That's cause she can't say my name yet and she's my God daughter" I explained. "Yeah yeah whatever, now c'mon my man waiting on me to get home" she said sticking her tongue out smiling.

"Eww gross!" I faked gagged making her roll her eyes. "Oh hush we already know the first thing your gonna do when you get home is call y/n" she said making a me smile at the thought of her. "Now your definitely not wrong there" I said making us both laugh. 

(Time skip)

I opened my door and walked in looking up surprised to see y/n sitting on my couch. "Baby? What you doing here?" I questioned walking over to her. "Von's at school and I got bored so I decided to come chill here" she said shrugging. "Oh ok then" I said sitting down next to her, "so how did you appointment go mama?" she asked giving me her full attention. "Well to put it in short...She's backkk!!" I let out excited. "You for real?!" she asked wide eyed, "I'm so for real baby" I laughed smiling as she brought me into a tight hug. "I'm so happy for you Rhy congratulations ma" she said squeezing me smiling ear to ear. 

"Did they say when you'd be able to play again?" she asked pulling away. "Well he said he wanted me to rest for one week but after that i'd be able to play so basically our next game" I said smiling. "Can't wait to see you ball out again, better drop a 40 piece combo" she joked making me laugh. "I don't know about all that but maybe a 30 piece at most" I said shrugging. "Don't even matter how much you drop cause I already know your come back gonna be crazy" she said staring at me. I blushed as we held eye contact making me feel butterflies. 

She pulled me into her connecting our lips into a soft loving kiss. "I'm so proud of you mama" she so lowly I almost couldn't hear her. "Thank you baby I couldn't have done it without you" I spoke gently playing with the hair on the back of her neck. I pecked her lips a couple times before settling myself on her lap. "What you been doing since i've been gone?" I asked looking at her laptop. "I've been tryna find somebody who can do my hair for me cause jit need it done bad" she said looking at her hair. I stuck my hands into her locs raking my hands through them. "I can do em for you bae" I said confidently. She looked at me with an unsure look, "you sure you know how to do a retwist and style?" she asked me.
