When Zac stepped out, he cleared his throat!
Fatima looked up, "And here I was thinking I would have to play by myself because you were too much of a chicken to join me!"
Zac chuckled, "You're going to watch it with all this damn name calling!"
Fatima, "There's no such thing as a chicken in basketball Zac! Are you ready to show me what you're made of, or are you going to continue, sulking and miss this opportunity to better yourself?"
Zac had, had enough of Fatima's smart mouth so he was ready to kick her butt, or so he thought!
Fatima threw the ball to Zac and he threw it back to her, she dribbled, and swirled around him before making a lay up, "Move your knees Zac, this won't work if you do not move around!"
Fatima threw the ball back to him and he threw it back, she dribbled to the left, then to the right and crossed over him!
Zac, "Shit!"
Fatima, "Are you tired of playing like you're going to fail? Are you ready to show me what you really have?"
Zac nodded, he has never been schooled by a girl and he was intrigued and turned on all in one!
Fatima threw the ball to him and he threw it back to her. She had him to come forward and block her shot, "Now move from side to side! Use your upper body strength to help you balance!"
Zac was listening to everything Fatima told him to do and then she told him to move with her and place his arms in the air! Zac did as told and everything else came natural! Of course he made sure not to be too rough so he wouldn't hurt Fatima.
Fatima had pulled herself out of the game and Zac never noticed! That smile that had disappeared had resurfaced! He was enjoying playing so much that he didn't see Fatima recording him! She wanted to show him how far he had come! He was shooting three's, and he had several lay ups! He was playing like his life depended on it and that's when Fatima realized that he was ready! He had sweat going everywhere but he had faced his fear and to his surprise his knee was actually supporting him! All the jitters and doubts left his mind and before he knew it he had ran up to Fatima and picked her up!
Fatima, "Whoah, what's that for?"
Zac, "It's for believing in me and never allowing me to give up on myself! How can I ever repay you?"
Fatima, "Well I am a little hungry! How about dinner? I'll cook!"
Zac, "We can do dinner, but we are going out tonight!"
Fatima chuckled, "Oh really? What's the occasion!"
Zac, "Let's just say new beginnings are slowly approaching!"
Fatima looked at him, "I like that! What time do I need to be ready?"
Zac, "6?"
Fatima, "Six is fine! Now put me down because you stink!"
Zac's grip got tighter, "Oh really!"
