Flau'jae's POV
I was at my uncles, in the studio. But I'm stuck. I've been thinking about Angel since the other day at the shoot.
She looked too good to take my eyes off and Rickea been on my ass since then. I didn't even do anything and we are not together.
I couldn't help but take her all in. I'm trippin just thinking about it. She barely had any clothes on. Lord knows if I had no self control that would've became a visible problem.
It's wrong for me to want some of her?
Rivalry aside?
"What you thinkin bout?" Kahleah came into the studio spinning my chair around.
"Nothing," I lied quickly.
"Uh huh, you thinkin bout pussssyyyyyy," she laughed and I pushed her.
"Bro chill," I wiped my hand over my face.
"Okay okay okay, dad wanted me to come in here and ask what that last game was all about," she sat on the couch and I went to sit next to her.
"He still talking bout that? That was 3 days ago,"
"Nah he cool but the media not," she showed me a video on her phone about their opinions of me. I'm too "ghetto" or too "hood" and I can't pursue music and basketball.
"Ion even care about that shit for real," I closed my eyes.
"Well you need to tighten up,"
I sucked my teeth. I'm not trying to hear any of that.
"Listen you want people to like you. It sucks but it's real. You want people to work with you and pick you for all star, you want the coaches to fuck with you so you can get picked MVP... all that shit starts with connections,"
She steady going on and on.
"You not gon make nobody wanna be near you if you bout drama,"
She hit me in my stomach. "You not listening,"
"Ow," I complained and sat up.
"Okay I'm listening, I hear you okay? Best behavior, make the people love me, make the coaches love me,"
"Good,"
"That's the plan right ms olympian?" I smiled and gave her a hug. Uncle Tune couldn't keep his mouth shut about it.
"Nobody posed to know yet," she hugged me back.
"You secret safe with me," I motioned a zipper over my lips.
"Did you apologize to your coach yet? And your team? And Dearica? You know you stress her out,"
"Nah I didn't yet-"
"Get yo ass on then," she started kicking me off the couch.
I grabbed my keys and drove to the facility. I took a deep breath before walking, and once i did i headed to Millers office.
I knocked twice on the door before I opened. "Hi Coach," I was tense when I came inside.
"Hi Flau'jae,"
"I owe you and the team a huge apology," I played with my hands. "I need to be better about my temper, I need to work better about my control for this team,"
He sat at her desk, listening slowly.
"I am sorry, and it won't happen again. I care about this team so much and I'm so appreciative that I have the opportunity to play with this team,"
He nodded. "I believe in you, I see the potential in you," he stood up. "You're not playing the next 3 games but I want you all practices and games. You're running water bottles though," he and I both laughed.
"I'm not the one to apologize to though," he pointed at Dearica through the glass.
I nodded. "Yeah that's where I'm going now,"
I sighed as I left his office. Dearica was doing drills so I sat on the bench.
"Can't believe they let you inside the building," Paige walked over to dap me up. We both laughed.
"Me too,"
She sat next to me.
"You know we go to war about you," Paige grabbed a Gatorade.
"I know, I appreciate that. I go to war bout all you for real. How you feel about today's game?"
"I'm always better when my twin is playing with me," Paige tapped my leg.
Our duo on the court is too good. Best rookie duo if you ask me.
"I know but coach said I'm only out 3 games," I smiled. "Ima be on my best behavior for real, all star voting is soon. I gotta get a slot on that team,"
"And you will,"
I looked over to who was walking towards me and I stood up.
"Dearica, I owe you an apology," I spoke softly. She crossed her arms over her chest.
"I'm sorry about the way I reacted. I shouldn't have gotten rowdy or out of character. I care about his team, and I should've put the interest of the team first. I know that you work hard to craft us the way we play, the way we connect. You put a lot of time and effort and energy into us and I'm sorry that I disrespected that,"
She gave me a hug. And I hugged her back. I let out a breath of relief. Having momma D mad at you is not a good thing.
"You have to control it,"
"I know, I'm trying I promise,"
She rubbed my back. "Don't let it happen again,"
"I got you momma D,"
"Now come on, you gotta practice.. and we gon talk about the way you treating Rickea,"
"Dearica-"
She gave me a look.
"I-"
And then another one.
I let it go with a sigh.

"Now you know D wanna talk to you and you tryna run up outta here," Zia was cracking up as I was making my way out to my car, truly trying to avoid this conversation with Dearica.
"Be careful Four," Zia spoke as she got into her car that was parked next to mine.
"What?"
Then I heard Rickea call for me. "Four," as I was right next to my Maserati.
I turned and saw her walked towards me, I held my arms out. She filled them with her body.
"You mad at me?" I asked as I kissed her cheek.
"Yes,"
I smiled, "I like messing around with you, I like the vibe we have. Why we gotta mess it up with a label?" I let my hands caress her back.
"You want me to play girlfriend until you actually want one,"
"Rickea I just want to vibe. We don't have to do anything you don't want to,"
She pulled herself from me. Then rolled her eyes.
"Come over," I pulled her back into me. I would be lying if I said the sex not good.
"I know you want some," I whispered against her lips.
"Not until you're done playing games,"
