MUST BE LOVE

Chapter 42

Chris' POV

I was bored as fuck since Imani wanted to hang with Shaye. Its cool though cause we're always together. One of us need to stop paying rent & move in with each other. I should bring that up one day or give my little bro her apartment when he moves here & she come stay with me full time. But anyways Mike was finally getting that raggedy ass shop remodeled so we closed down for a minute. I swear that nigga is lucky I still got racks or I would have said fuck him & started my own shit. But that's my nigga & we started this shit together so we gone end it together. Since I ain't got shit else to do we all went to play basketball like old times with a few other niggas we used to fuck with back in the day

"Come on so I can show ya'll muthafuckas how to play like LeBron," Scoot trying to shoot the ball & missing

"Nigga you wouldn't even be a bench rider. You would be water boy shooting like that," Mike told him & we all laughed

"That shot was messed up because the wild was blowing," Scoot claimed

"Nigga shut the fuck up & come on. I got Kenny & Tank on my team," I said cause them niggas were tall & can play

"No, fuck that. You trying to make us lose. How you get all the good guys, leaving me with Scoot & Zay non playing asses," Mike said bouncing the ball

"I can play so I don't know what you're talking bout nigga," Zay said

"Well them I'll trade you Ken, for Zay," I said cause Zay is taller than Ken. I swear if Zay makes my team lose I'm beating his ass

"Still ain't fair cause I don't want water boy on my team," Mike said talking bout Scoot

"Fuck you Mike. I don't wanna be on yo team no ways," Scoot said

"Look ya'll taking too long. Make up a team so we can pla.y I don't got all day," Ken said sipping his water

"Me either. I told my old lady we could go out when I get done fucking with ya'll niggas," Tank said

"You ain't got no old lady. Unless you're talking bout yo mama. But come on I guess I'll play with water boy," Mike said

"Man Mike stop hating cause yo ass ain't got no girl,. You didn't have a choice but to play with water boy. Now come on check me," I said to Mike cause we were gone guard each other

We played for a good hour & of course my team won like I said we would

"I swear ya'll muthafuckas cheated," Mike said sipping his water

"No, ya'll just can't play. I mean I gave you Ken," I said wiping my sweat

"I was doing what I had too. That was Mike & Scoot bull shitting," Ken said

"Man ya'll gone layup off me. That's why I don't like playing with ya'll," Scoot complained drinking some of his Gatorade

"Alright well I'm bout to go shower & hang with the bae's. Its on my niggas," Tank said dapping us all up

"Use protection cause you don't wanna be like Mike," Zay told him & we all laughed

"Zay I swear you want me to beat yo ass," Mike said throwing the water bottle at his head but he missed

"Aye nigga, that could have hit me. Then we would have been fighting," Zay said standing up

"Ya'll act like a bunch of fucking kids," I said

"They are kids, but Chris we turning up &  going to the strip club for yo birthday like last year," Scoot asked

"Nope! I'm hanging with Mani. She's tryna wine & dine a nigga by taking me to Savannah on the beach," I told them
