Y/n's PovMe and Cameron made our way towards the girls locker room. We sat there waiting a few minutes before Kia came out with her gift. The three of us talked about random things before a certain something or should I say someone caught my eye.
I looked over and saw Jelyssa walking out the locker rooom. I gave her small smile before focusing back onto the conversation. Kia suddenly called her over, introducing her to us.
I gave her a small hi. I couldn't keep my eyes off her. The way her skin was glistening, drenched in sweat. Usually I'd think being covered in sweat was disgusting but I don't know it was something about her.
Kia and Cam moved to the side to open her birthday gift. This left me and Jelyssa alone. The silence was awkward so I thought I'd try to talk to her. "Um you played good tonight." Good? Just good? Y/n she dropped thirty points tonight. If anything she out played everyone on the court.
"Thank you." She replied with a smile. Her smile was so pretty.
She looked down at my shirt. "You like basketball?" I looked down at my jersey, "Oh yea I've been watching it since I was a kid."
It was silent once again. I was praying that Cam or Kia would come save me. My body was starting to get hot with all the eye contact we were making. She looked at her phone before glancing at me. "Well um it was nice seeing you again."
"How did you know it was me?"
She laughed a bit, "Ryken wouldn't stop talking about you and your daughter the whole ride home." She paused, smirking at me, "And it's kinda hard to forget a pretty face like yours."
Holy shit. I was going feral inside. My heart rate started to increase and my palms were starting to sweat. My cheeks were feeling a bit hot now .
"Oh" I smiled.
"Well um I'll let you go now." I whispered, secretly not wanting our conversation to end. Jelyssa licked her lips, smiling, "Bye Y/n. Have a goodnight." I granted her with a grin, "Bye Jelyssa, you too."
Biting my lip as she walked away, I watched her push the door open, exiting the stadium. Just then, Cam came back over. "Alright we're leaving." She said giving Kia a hug. Kia came over and gave me one next, "Bye Y/n. Hope you guys had fun tonight."
"Bye and I most definitely did." We waved goodbye to Kia before walking towards the Stadiums exit. Me and Cam said our goodbyes before going our separate ways.
*****************************************************************The microwaved beeped indicating that my noodles were done. I took the noodles out, seasoning them before digging in. I was scrolling on instagram when a certain post caught my attention. It was Azareah's dad James with another woman who I'm guessing is his new bitch.
I scoffed, clicking onto the name at the top of the post. James was blocked so this was his new girls page. She looked Mexican, but I wasn't sure. She had brown hair and was kinda chunky. I scrolled on her page a bit, clicking on the first post I saw James on.
The date was August 5, 2023, so they've been together for a little while now. The caption saying Happy three months babe. 'Can't wait til we make one year!!!'.
My eyes found themselves rolling at the post. I wondered if she even knew how he was a dead beat. How he left me once he found out I was pregnant. 2021 me would be crying and wished he never left, but 2024 me doesn't give a damn.
He missed out on a wonderful little girl who's gonna go very far in life.
And with that note, I tidied up my area before walking upstairs to lay down. I turned on one of my comfort shows, getting comfy.
Twenty minutes into the show, my eyes lids found themselves slowly closing. I cuddled up with one of Azzy's stuffed animals, get a whiff of her baby smell. My lips curved into a smile. I drifted off to sleep not even setting my alarm for work tomorrow.
