Watch & Learn: Book II

Chapter Three: Telling Rome

Rome

It was Teddy and Crystal's last day in Miami so I decided to treat them to dinner tonight. I also wanted to treat them to a little surprise. Since everyone has been pressuring me to settle down, that's exactly what I planned on doing. After my talk with Chanel last night, I looked through my phone for girls that I've been texting lately that could possibly be wifey material.

I came across a girl named Kennedy. I met her at the club about a month ago. I fucked her a few times between then and now, but I think she has her shit together. She's younger than girls I usually mess with but that's fine, I like them fresh. Kennedy is going to join me tonight for dinner with Teddy and Crystal. Since I plan on morphing her into Mrs.Rome Davis after awhile, it's only right that I get the opinion from Teddy and Crystal.

Kennedy and I walked inside of the restaurant, hand in hand as we approached the table where Teddy and Crystal were already seated.

"Hey friends." I smiled upon reaching the table.

"Sup?" Teddy stood up, dapping me up before I hugged Crystal.

"Hi, I'm Kennedy." Kennedy introduced as she shook both of their hands.

One thing I like about Kennedy was that she took initiative and she was confident as fuck. Unlike other girls I've dealt with, I didn't need to introduce her because she was confident enough to introduce herself. She had the attitude of a boss and I was digging it. I looked at Teddy and Crystal who were giving me confused looks but I just brushed it off. We all sat down at the table and looked at our menus in silence. One thing I don't like is silence, especially if I'm with my friends.

"So did you two enjoy your time out here." I asked both Teddy and Crystal.

"Yeah it was straight." Teddy nodded his head. "I just wish we could stay a little longer but we gotta make that money."

"You play for the Nets right?" Kennedy asked him.

"Yeah." Teddy replied.

"I was a huge fan of yours when you were playing for the Magic. My dad and I went to every home game last season. Why'd you change teams?" Kennedy asked curiously.

"Because the Nets are a better team and I'm getting paid a lot more. I just have a lot more opportunities being with the Nets." Teddy told her.

"Why didn't you just go to the Heat? You'd be closer to home." Kennedy questioned and I could see that Crystal was getting irritated by the amount of questions Kennedy was asking him.

"Because I do a lot of modeling in New York and we have a child and it's not easy to keep traveling back and forth and taking care of a two year old at the same time. So us making the move to New York was not only logical, but very thought out." Crystal interjected.

"Ohhh I see, I see." Kennedy replied before there was another short silence.

"So what do you do for a living?" Crystal asked her.

"Oh I don't have a job yet. But I was on the dance team throughout college. Rome says that he can guarantee me a spot on the Heat dance team very soon." Kennedy said happily.

"Oh really Rome?" Crystal raised her eyebrow, looking at me as she took a sip of her wine.

"Hopefully I can be recruited after the next game." Kennedy said excitedly.
