Chapter 44- Last Straw

*Tae's POV*

"No Blake.. No I have a headache, I just wanna lay in my bed and relax today. Maybe we can go out tomorrow night." I bit my lip as I rested my head on Steph's pillow, inhaling his scent.

"Alright babe. I guess I'll just go to the gym and practice on my free throws or something." He sighs, making me feel bad, but that shit gets shaken out of me real quick. "Love you."

"I Love you too." I said quickly, then hung up. There was only one nigga I was worried about. The more I laid in the bed staring at the ceiling, the more I thought about, the fact that one of the most important reasons I love Steph so much is because he actually says 'I love you' instead of just 'Love you'. To me it means more when you add the I to it. I don't know if its just me or what, but that's how I feel about it.

I rolled over in Steph's bed thinking about where he could have gone this early. There's a game tonight, so maybe he's at the practice gym. But then again that doesn't seem right. I have the team's practice schedule and I don't think they have practice this early. Coach Kerr wouldn't do this to us on a Saturday.

I pop up, pulling down the shirt I stole out of Stephen's closet last night. He hates when I take his shirts because he knows he'll never see them again.

I go over to his drawers and pull out the warriors schedule.

Saturday's Practice Times:

12:30-2:00 pm

I raised my eyebrows, and just decided to call him. I literally jump onto his big comfortable bed and grab my phone, dialing his number.

It rings 4 times and he sends me to voicemail.

"Boy no." I muttered to myself and I called him again.

It rings once and he answers.

"Hello?" He says.

"Yeah... Why didn't you answer the first time? What's up?" I laid on my back with my feet in the air. You know those little things you do when your on the phone with your boo.

"Nothing, I didn't mean to decline it.. What's up with you?" He sighs. I can always tell when he's doing something he ain't got no business, but I decided to question him on it when he gets here.

"Just woke up. I have to go with Wadeline to put some finishing touches on the venue for the wedding."

"Oh you're paying for it now right?" He asks

"No my dad is.. He said it's his pleasure." I said sarcastically.

"I don't know why you decided to have it in December, It's cold as hell outside at around that time."

"It's not that cold during winter time. Did you forget we're in California? Sunniest state, besides Florida."

"Whatever, I literally get so pale, it's ridiculous." He laughs, and I hear a kid laugh in the back ground, followed by Klay.

"Who's that?" I questioned.

"That? Oh it's nothing." He justifies.

"AH, who's Klay talking to? Okay where are y'all.. That would be a better question. "

"Okay, princess I promise I'll explain everything to you when I get home. I have to go. I love you." He says and he doesn't even wait for me to say it back before he hangs up.

I'm gonna let him slide and wait for him to get home, because he called me princess.

That's the only reason.
