Anthony Price was my former manager and occasional fuck buddy, we met in college and I instantly respected his hustle; this dude could fast talk almost anybody and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have got 99% of the endorsements and sponsorships I got while I was playing in the NBA. Anthony was smart enough to go after all the smaller brands that most players tend to over look but fifty $500,000 deals with small companies that no one had ever heard of was 25 million dollars and Anthony convinced me to invest that money legally so my money would grow over time...... He sounds like the perfect business partner but there's always a flaw, Anthony was too greedy; he didn't know how to stop hustling and I knew his greed would consume him because he was never satisfied. When me and Cash were in Hawaii he just so happened to be there and he told me he had a plan to get me back in the NBA, a few weeks later he showed up with a contract for a one year deal with the Timberwolves..... and as much as I loved playing basketball I think I found something I loved even more which was coaching......
"Anthony I told you I still need some time to think about it...." I said quietly and I could see the irritation in his face.
"Look Jaire, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.... are you really going to give this all up to coach some rugrats? Look you should really take this deal, just think you spend one year with the T-Wolves then we can renegotiate you a better deal somewhere else. You weren't a good fit in Utah but in Minnesota you can shine, that team fits your style of play better than any other team except for the Pistons or the Bulls. You'll be closer to home and if it doesn't work out you'll have some more fall back money....... I swear you're impossible, look the deal doesn't expire until the start of the next season and I pulled a lot of strings to get you this opportunity, I hope you don't waste it........." Anthony said dapping me up and walking away, I waited until he was pulling off before walking back in the house and caught Khris listening.
"Don't worry Khris I'm not leaving the team.... especially during your senior year, I promised y'all a championship and I meant that shyt so before you start spreading rumors I'm not leaving." I said pushing his head and walking back into the leaving room and sitting next to Cash. One by one everyone went home until it was me, Cash and Khris left..... honestly this shyt felt so peaceful, it was like we were a family.
"Aight little dude it's time for you to go to bed, you got school in the morning and we got work so come on both of y'all......." Cash said, me and Khris looked at each other before both smacking his ass with a pillow; we played around for a couple minutes before we finally went upstairs.
"I'm about to take a bath......" I said looking at Cash as I took my briefs off and tossed them in the basket, Cash looked at my naked body and smirked before stripping completely naked and walking with me in the bathroom. We sat in my massive bathtub, Cash's back against my chest and talked quietly in the dim light.... almost every night was like this and I wouldn't have it any other way..... I think.......
"Did Anthony want the same thing he wanted in Hawaii?" Cash asked turning to look at me, Cash knew everything about the situation with Anthony so I wasn't surprised that he guessed so easily who was at the door. "Jaire..... you know how I feel about it, you should do what's best for you. Me personally I think you should do it, I mean it's only a season right? I'm sure the team would be more pissed at you staying than they would for you leaving.... plus I want to come visit you during one of those Minnesota winters so we can fuck in front of the fireplace." Cash said kissing me.
"I got a fireplace downstairs...... and yeah I would love to play basketball again but Anthony won't stop at just one season, he'll try to keep me playing for as long as possible because if these one thing about him is he loves money.... he's addicted to it and he spends it as fast as he makes it. I think I just need to talk to my bros Roy and Elijah about it, you know how much I value their opinion..... not that I don't value your but....." I said digging myself into a deeper hole.
"Jaire it's coo.... those are your best friends." Cash said grabbing his phone. "FUCK!!! I just got a text saying the school is flooded and they're cancelling class tomorrow...." Cash said heated.
"Hell yeah that means I get the day off and it's supposed to be nice tomorrow, I think I might have to take my motorcycle out." I said smiling. "Sucks you gotta work." I said laughing as he elbowed me in the ribs.
"I gotta tell Khris, knowing him he'll probably go home so he can sneak Irvin over......." Cash said. Hmm..... Khris going to their house means me and Cash would be here alone.........
"AYY KHRIS SCHOOL IS CANCELLED TOMORROW!!!" I yelled hoping like hell he could hear me, Cash started laughing and I heard Khris walk into my room and stand outside the bathroom door.
"What did you say Coach Jay?" He asked.
"No school tomorrow, it's flooded or something so why don't you go......" But I could already tell he was leaving out my room. "We'll wait five minutes then go check and see if he left, then I'll lock the house up and we can fuck in front of the fireplace.... you know it's been almost two weeks since we last had sex?" I asked.
"Yeah I know I've been wanting to say something but I didn't want you to think I was addicted...... but before we fuck all over the house I wanna run something by you. I'm thinking about having a little cookout for Khris's birthday next week and.....
"Yeah you can use my house, just don't touch my grill. I'm the only person allowed to touch, look at and use my grill." I said smiling.
"Actually I was going to have it at our house but since you offered. Nah but seriously.... I want you to try and convince some of the basketball team to come.... I know Khris misses his friends and I know they miss him because they told me.... well Jayson and Lee did, I ran into them at the store and they wanted to apologize for what they did to Khris." Cash said.
"I'll see what Khris wants to do..... I mean me and Roy fought all the time when we were younger and if they are truly sorry for what they did then I think they should get the chance to apologize...... I think we should have it at your house now that I think about it, I don't want them little monsters fucking up my house." I said smiling. "Aight let's go see if Khris left so we can get started......" Cash got out of the bathtub and seeing the water and bubbles cascading down his back set me off. "You know on second thought....." I said pulling him back into the water..................
The next day I went to meet up with Elijah, Roy and Terico for lunch and yet again we were waiting for Elijah, I swear his ass was never on time for anything. Terico was telling us that us about how their mom showed up on campus last night causing a scene because Terico wanted to finish school before going to the NFL and she accused him of not caring about his family and unborn child.
"I swear I almost knocked that kooky ass wig off her head last night, it took every ounce of my self-control not to go off on her ass." Terico said shaking his head.
"Kooky wig you must be talking about mom...." Elijah said sliding in the booth next to his little brother. "Sorry I'm late..... finals have been kicking my ass, now start from the beginning." Elijah said and Terico had to tell the whole story over again.
"Aight so I wanna run something by y'all right quick......" I said telling them about the situation with Anthony and the table was pretty much split, Roy thought I should go back and Terico thought I should stay and Elijah said the same exact thing as Cash that I should do what was best for me. While we discussed my future I noticed Elijah tense up and I followed his eyes to the door as Diante, Mateo and Genesis all walked into the restaurant...........................
