Desire

"I Don't Want To Be Here" I Sighed, "What's Wrong With You Girl? You Love Basketball" Ahaja Said, "I Still Love Basketball, What You Mean?" I Said, "You've Been Complaining Since Practice Started! What Happen To The Desire That Would Play Basketball 24/7 And Wouldn't Hesitate To Break Anybodies Ankles Including Her Own Boyfriend" Ahaja Said.

"I'm Still The Same Desire, I Still Love Basketball" I Shrugged, "Not With That Attitude" Ahaja Said, "If Im Being Honest It's Not Even Fun Anymore" I Said, "Excuse Me What" Ahaja Said, "Playing Basketball Isn't Fun Anymore" I Shrugged, "Girl You Fucking Lost It" Ahaja Said Looking At Me Like I Was Stupid, "Ball And Johnson Run That Last Drill And Stop Gossiping" Coach Yelled, We Sighed Before Running Our Last Drill.

"Your Girlfriend Is Losing Her Mind" Ahaja Yelled As We Walked Into The Ball Residence, Its 6 Years Later But LaVar And Tina Still Live In The Same House And We Still Meet Up Here Whenever We Want To, "Ahaja Shush Your Loud Mouth" LaVar Yelled, "No Disrespect Uncle But You're Way Louder Than Me" Ahaja Said, "Just Cause You're Grown Doesn't Mean Anything" LaVar Said Making Me Laugh.

"But Melo-Dip Guess What Your Girl Said At Practice" Ahaja Said, "What She Say?" LaMelo Said Not Looking Up From His Phone, "Tell Him What You Said At Practice" Ahaja Said, I Shook My Head Cause She Know If I Say That They Gone All Look At Me Like I'm Crazy, "This Girl Told Me She Feel Like Playing Ball Isn't Fun Anymore" Ahaja Said, Everybody Heads Snapped Towards Me.

"What You Mean Playing Ball Isn't Fun Anymore?" Lonzo Said, "Its Not Fun For Me Anymore! I Get No Thrill Out Of Playing It Anymore" I Said, "What The Hell Is Wrong With You Desire?" LaVar Said, "You Feeling Well Baby" LaMelo Said Feeling My Forehead, "Bae Stop Im Completely Serious" I Said Moving His Hand, "What You Mean Its Not Fun Anymore?" LiAngelo Said.

"Are You Saying You Don't Want To Play Anymore?" Lonzo Said, "I Didn't Say That But I Don't Know" I Shrugged, "Stop Playing Desire! Nobody Is Playing With You" LaMelo Laughed, I Watched Everybody Laugh Like I'm Kidding, "Y'all I Think She's Serious About Stopping" Ahaja Said, "You Can't Be Serious Desire! You Ain't Gonna Stop Playing Basketball, Im Not Letting That Happen" LaMelo Said, "Can I Just Think About Stuff First Before You Tell Me What I Ain't Gonna Do" I Said Getting Up And Walking Out Back.

I Sat Down Clearing My Head, "I'm Sorry" LaMelo Said Sitting Down Beside Me, I Shrugged, "Why Isn't It Fun Anymore Desire?" LaMelo Said, "I Don't Know" I Said, "There Has To Be A Reason" LaMelo Said, "I Don't Know" I Said, "Lately Something Is Always Wrong With You And Now You're Basically Saying You Don't Want To Play Basketball Anymore, Desire You And Ahaja Are Basically The Ones Leading Y'all Team To The Wins, Plus Its Your Senior Year In College And After That Its The WNBA For You" LaMelo Said.

"I Know" I Sighed, "I Feel Like You Never Tell Me Anything Anymore" LaMelo Said, "What Is You Talking About?" I Said, "We Never Talk Like We Use To, Tell Each Other How We Feeling And Stuff Like That" LaMelo Said, "That's Not My Fault! You're Barely Home For Me To Even Talk To You" I Shrugged, "I'm Busy With The NBA Yea I Get That But If You Need To Talk To Me I Won't Go Anywhere And I'll Drop Everything For You And You Know That" LaMelo Said.

"And The Fact I Don't Even Know What The Hell Is Going On With My Own Girlfriend! When Did You Even Start Thinking About Basketball Like That, The Desire I Know Loves Basketball And Wouldn't Give It Up For Nothing" LaMelo Said, "Its Not Fun Anymore" I Shrugged, "That's Not Telling Me Why It's Not Fun Anymore" LaMelo Said, I Shrugged.

"So You're Not Gonna Talk To Me And Tell Me Why" LaMelo Said, "I Don't Know" I Said Getting Irritated, "Since You Don't Want To Talk Its Whatever, Quit Or Don't Quit Its Up To You" LaMelo Said Getting Up And Walked Back In Their House, I Sighed Picking Up A Basketball And Shot It To Watch It Bounce Off The Rim, See I Can't Even Play Right Anymore.
