Love Me Tomorrow

Chapter 19

Trey

          I stood at the free throw line. The game was tied. I'm so tired. Clemson put up a fight, they sure can play some defense, but our offense was off the charts. I had 25 points, Kevin had 15, Shawn had 10, Eli had 17, and Albridge had 8. Coach still had Johnston on suspension which I didn't understand, I thought it was only one game.

         I took a deep breath as I shot the ball. I made it, 77 to 78. Coach was relieved and I could see Keira and Alejandra cheering. Shawn gave me a high five as the ref blew his whistle.

        The ref passed me the ball and I dribbled a little at the line. I stood in the shooting form for a couple seconds before I made the shot. 77 to 79. We won. The buzzer went off and the reporters rushed onto the court.

       "Trey! Trey! May I interview you?" A male reporter asked me. "Sure." I said placing a towel around my neck.

        Reporter: "Great performance tonight Trey. How does it feel to be 2-0 this season?"

       Me: "Great I am excited, and I know that my team will only do better, soon we'll be 10-0, then 15-0."

       Reporter: "Are you sure you can get passed next week's game. It's against Kansas, your first opponent out of your conference?"

      Me: "Yeah, I mean Kansas is really good and so are we. We're going to bring all we got and they better too. I know me and Jeremiah Wiggins are going to be shooting 3's one after another."

       Reporter: "Well congrats on your victory Trey. Can't wait until next week."

     

        As I walked away, people came up to me taking photos with their cameras. I walked to the locker room, where my team was celebrating. Coach quiet everyone as I entered, "How about a round of applause to our dynamite, our clutch superstar, Trey Carruth!"

          Everyone cheered and Eli and another teammate grabbed me picking me up placing me on their shoulders. "Trey! Trey!" Everyone chanted. It felt good to be the star.

Keira

            Alejandra stood with me along with many other people waiting on Trey. Everyone was so excited that Miami won. I mean damn at times I was on the edge on my seat, but never underestimate my man, Trey always pulls through.

          Alejandra whispered, "Is that woman Trey's mom?" I looked in the direction Alejandra was looking and notice the woman and the girl right by her. Yeah she did look like Trey in the face. "That might be his mom. I never met her before."

            Trey and his teammates came walking out and Trey quickly went over to the woman. He gave her a kiss on her lips before hugging her. She placed her hands on his cheeks and she smiled as she was talking to him.

         The girl fist-bumped Trey as he embraced the woman once more. As they left, Trey then came over to me. He kissed me right on my lips. I didn't wanna stop and kept on kissing him. Alejandra just stood there and I knew she felt awkward. Alejandra cleared her throat as I kissed him the last time.

           "Congrats baby. I'm so proud!" "Thanks, you must be my good luck charm." Trey said kissing me once again. Alejandra whined, "Must you really start kissing again. Damn I guess I gotta go get a boyfriend!" Trey and I couldn't help it we both started laughing our butts off.

          As I stopped laughing, I looked at him and then asked about her, "So who's that woman you were talking to and hugging?" "Oh, that's just my mom." Trey replied giving me a crazy look. Like damn, I can't know who his mom is?

          "Why didn't you introduce me to your mom?" I questioned. Trey rolled her eyes. "Man, relax. We just started dating. I though you wanted to take our time?" "Yeah I do, but I don't want your mom being hidden in the dark about us. If she was my mom I would tell her about us and even introduce you to her."

          "Well last time I checked, your mom isn't even alive." My mouth was literally open in shook. I can't believe he said that. He knows I'm sensitive when it comes to my mom. "Keira..." He saw how that made me feel. I just started walking away, with tears streaming down my face.

Trey

              I laid down on my bed. Another call from me Keira ignored. Damn, I really fucked up. I should have never said that, I take my mom for granted and Keira would love to her mom around.

            "Why the long face?" Eli asked me as he was playing NBA 2K14 with Shawn. "Shit just happen between me and Keira." "Man already? Y'all can't be doomed already." Shawn gave Eli a look and I threw a pillow on my face.

        "Look just give her some space then try to talk it out. Wait a while, I don't what you said, but you better never say it again, cause next time Keira isn't going to be too nice." Shawn adviced. Yeah Shawn was right, I just need to give my baby so space. I know soon she'll be coming for me soon, she can't resist me even if she tried.

        A knock came at the door and I went to open it. It was Coach! Coach never sticks around this long around campus. "Trey can I talk to you?" Coach said with a serious look on his face. I grabbed the doorknob and closed the door. "Coach, what's going on?" I asked. "Trey, the athletic director was informed by the NCAA that you've are being investigated." Coach revealed.

         "Investigated? For what? I haven't done shit." "Trey you know your family can't be accepting any benefits from people." "My family hasn't. What are you talking about?" "I don't know much Trey but I know you're being investigated. Just know that you cannot be benched for the next game." Coach said right before walking away. Improper funds? Benched? This shit cannot be happening. First Keira, now this?

           I opened my door and Eli and Shawn stood inside the bathroom, trying to act innocent, man I know they were earsdropping. "What's going on man?" Shawn asked. "I'm being fucking investigated by the NCAA." "How? What have you done?" "I haven't done shit, but I think I know what's going on." I replied pulling out my suitcase. "Where are you going?" Eli asked confused. "Home. I'll be back in a couple days." I said.

           I hurried over to Keira's dorm. I knocked on the door and she opened the door. She sighed heavily when she saw me.

        "Baby, listen to me."

        "What do you want, Trey?"

        "Look I have to go home and I want you to go home with me."

        "No."

       "Keira please. I'll introduce you to everyone."

    "You think that will make everything okay?"

  "Keira, please."

  "No! Get out before I call security."

   "Why can't you?"

   "Did you forget my dad got arrested."

    "I promise you will be informed about everything while being with me."

     Keira looked at me angry and I couldn't help but smile. Keira laughed, "Stop smiling, I am mad at you." Keira said. "But you love me." I said pulling her by her waist towards me. I placed my index finger on her chin and lifting her head so she could look me in the eyes.

         "I'm so sorry for being an asshole earlier. I love you and I never want to hurt you or see you hurt." I leaned in and kissed her. "Fine. When we leaving?" Keira asked. "Now. Start packing." I answered. Keira rushed over and grabbed her suitcase and began packing her things in the suitcase.
