Delusional Love (Trey Songz, Carmelo Anthony, Bria Murphy Love Story)

Inhale

Taj

I walked through the garage door and set my bag down. Hanging my keys up on the rack, I walked to the kitchen to find a plate of food with a sticky note on it. I heated it up and quickly ate before quietly disposing my waste. It was going on 3 in the morning and I ain't wanna wake Roc. I headed upstairs to my room and seen her sleeping with TayShawn. I changed into shorts and a tank top and crawled into bed beside Roc. She stirred in her sleep before turning over and facing me. She looked at me as if she couldn't believe I was there, then buried her face in my chest taking a deep breathe. I just kissed her forehead before placing my hand on her hip.

"When did you get back?" She asked finally.

"Not that long ago."

"Do you have practice today?"

"4:30." I said.

"Get your rest. You been working hard." She said. "Night." She said before kissing me.

"Move the ball. Move it. Pass it to Melo." Coach Woodson said. "Iso! Iso! Damn it!" He said before blowing his whistle. "That's it for today." He said before walking away.

After we were dismissed, I took a quick shower in the locker room before bundling up in my sweats and heading home.

"Hey babe, I'm home." I called walking into the kitchen setting my bag down as Tay Tay tried to run towards me. "Hey man." I tossed him in the air.

"Hey baby." Roc said coming from the bathroom. "I was just about to call you."

"No need to. I'm here now." I said pecking her lips. She looked at me as she bit on her bottom lip. "Stay calm." I laughed.

"Shut up." She smirked walking away to the kitchen. I went to the theater with TayShawn as we watched ESPN. Tay Tay just did his baby talk as I watched what was going on. All-Star weekend and trade deadline has been the talk lately. I ain't participating in any events but I know everybody will be there, from fans, to NBA Legends, to rappers, to anybody you can name. It's down in New Orleans and it sounds exciting.

"I'ma take him upstairs and put him in his crib." Roc said picking up Tay Tay who was out like a light. I got up and went to the kitchen and was surprised by Noah being in the house.

"Hey Taj." Noah greeted me.

"Hey man. Wassup?"

"Nothing much. I love your house. It's sooooooooo beautiful." He said causing me to smirk.

"Thank you. Where's Wade?"

"Wade is probably on his way home from work." He said as Roc came back to the kitchen.

"You hungry baby? I made dinner."

"Naw, I'm good. Just came for some water." I said before grabbing a bottle and heading upstairs to my room.

"Is everything okay with him?" Noah asked me.

"Trade talk. I think it's getting to him."

"The Knicks are thinking about trading him?"

"There just rumors. The Knicks love Taj, especially Carmelo." I said.

"He is too fine." Noah said making me laugh.

"How do I put up with you?" I asked.

"Easy. Everybody loves me." He said laughing.
