Love Me Tomorrow

Chapter 21

Ashlee

            Malik leaned in towards me and kissed me on the lips. "I thought you have a girlfriend?" I asked. I decided to meet up with Malik and talk though what happened and how we should move forward.

          "I do have a girlfriend." Malik said. "Then why are you kissing me?" "I just want too." Malik leaned in and tried kissing me again. I pushed Malik away.

         "Malik! Malik!" I heard a girl yelled. Malik and I both noticed who she was, she was Malik's girlfriend, Katia. "Kat, what are you doing here?" Malik asked her. "We were suppose to go out." Kat replied.

        Katia seemed suspicious since she saw me standing there. "So Katia you're going out with Malik, your boyfriend?" I asked. Malik gave me a glare and Katia became even more suspicious. "Malik, what's going on?" Katia demanded. "Yeah, Malik tell what's going on?" I teased. Malik became furious and he got up right in my face. "You need to get away before I become really mad."

          "Malik, what the fuck? Will someone tell me what's going on?" Katia yelled. "Guess I'll be the bigger person, Katia I fucked your boyfriend." I revealed before walking away. I could hear Katia yelling at Malik and Malik telling her it was all a lie and I was trying to sabotage their relationship. The only relationship that's now sabotage is mine and Malik's.

Trey

            I sat outside waiting for the my interview with someone from the NCAA. I'm shaking, I don't know what to expect. I just want to know who told the NCAA.

            A woman stood out the door and called out my name, "Alfred Carruth?" "Here." "Come with me." I went into the room, it was just a table and two chairs. I noticed news media outside through the window. They must have found out that I was going to be here.

         I sat down and the woman sat across from me. "Hello Alfred, before we begin would you like to called Alfred or Trey?" "Trey, please." "Well Trey do you know the circumstances of why you're being investigated by the NCAA?" The woman asked me. "No idea." I responded.

        "Well a report was given to us and an unidentified source has records of things your family has received, they're benefits." The woman passed me the sheet of paper and there was a long list of things like tvs, cars, jewelry, concert tickets, and much more.

         Then there was the one thing thing that stuck out, the gifts that Alfred and Tabitha sent me last year. "Do you recognized these things?" "No, I don't know any of these things. I didn't accept these things, I know my mom and siblings didn't." I lied. I had to do it, I can't be benched for the game or for who knows how long. Maybe I'll end up going to the NBA soon and it will be all behind me.

        "Trey, Alfred Carruth is your father correct?" I was asked. "Yes, he's my dad." "Do you have any type of relationship with him?" "Yes. We talk ever once in a while, and he comes to some of my games." "Did you accept a gift from him?" "No, I never had." The woman finished writing down some things and she ended the conversation.

        "That's good, our interview is finished. There should be an announcement before your game against Kansas." I hope they never find out that I actually lied to them.

          The interview was at my old high school. It seems like a lifetime ago I was walking the hallways and playing basketball in the gym. I opened the door to the gym and there were a racket of basketballs. I grabbed one and I ran up to the basket and dunked single-handedly the ball in hoop.

        As I grabbed the ball and started dribbling, I noticed the girl there standing, watching me and I knew exactly who she was, Anastasia.

        "Long time, no see Carruth." Anastasia said. "Hey Anastasia." Anastasia looked good. She had a nice haircut, and she got a little bigger. She seemed different from when we were dating. She was the most serious relationship I had before Keira.

        "You live in Miami now, right?" Anastasia asked. "Yeah, where are you staying?" "Syracuse. You know we're all pretty sad that you didn't come to Syracuse to play." "I needed to get away, Syracuse is too close." Anastasia rolled her eyes while I chuckled.

      "You got a boyfriend?" I asked. "Yeah, we've been together for a year or so. You got a girlfriend?" "Yeah, Keira Lansing, Seth Lansing's sister." "Evan's ex? Yeah, I know Keira." "Evan's ex? That was like in the past when we were dating." "No, she and him use to be together like a month ago. I guess before you two got together. Her and Evan were extremely close, if you know what I mean." Anastasia told me.

        I can't believe this! Why would Keira hide that from me, why would she still see him, she told me she was finished with him. How could she do that to me her boyfriend?
