𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 the last time asia and melo had seen each other again for the first time in many years, and melo had been thinking about it ever since
he was thinking about the time they spent together in asia's apartment, getting to know each other again and how she comforted him the same way she used to back when they were younger. he thought about how being with or around her, just felt right to him, everything about her felt right, even after all these years
he thought about when she came to his game, and how he made sure to ball out knowing she was there in the crowd, how her support made all the difference in how well he played. reminding him how it was back in high school because he always played at his best when she was at his game, and even now in the nba, she was still like his goodluck charm
he threw his head back against his headboard, closing his eyes and groaning while thinking about the aftermath of her being at the game, the loud argument that followed between him and ana, how bothered ana was by just seeing asia
and honestly, he couldn't fully blame her for it because he knew if it were the other way around he'd be just as pissed. but the difference is that he trusted ana enough to worry so much about what she is or isn't doing, it wouldn't even cross his mind to think she would be cheating because he would have enough faith in her
his reminiscing was cut short when his phone went off, he opened his eyes as he picked it up to see who was texting him. he opened it and saw it was a text from his coach reminding him that they had a morning practice today
melo sighed as he got up, walking in to his bathroom so he could start getting ready and he saw ana on her side of the sink, applying her 2nd coat of mascara and humming along with whatever song she was currently playing from her phone
he walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist causing her to smile before acknowledging him "hi melo" she greeted softly as he kissed her cheek in response. she giggled at this before slightly waving him off "i gotta finish getting ready, you know i got a shoot today" she reminded him, trying to remove his arms from around her waist as she already knew where this was going
