Hardship (Lonzo Ball)

Celebration

*Valentina's POV*

I went back home and sat down on the couch. I counted up my tip money and put it into my jar of money. I put the jar back and sat down again. I yawned a bit and leaned back. I heard my phone go off and I groaned a bit. I grabbed it off the couch and answered the phone. "Valentina Coleman?" the woman asked.
"Yeah that's me, who is this?" I asked.
"This is Nicolette from Killers Awaken," the cheery woman told me. Killers Awaken is the show I starred on. "Oh okay. What's up?" I asked.
"So! The feedback from the episode you were on was amazing! Everyone loves you!" she told me, "We want you to be a stable character!"
"No way," I smiled big, "I would love to!"
"Awesome! Come down to the office tomorrow at 9AM and we will get the papers signed and get you an agent as well!" she smiled bigger.
"Okay I'll be there! Thank you so much!" I smiled big.
"Thank you!" she hung up. I put my phone down and grabbed the closest pillow. I screamed into the pillow and smiled big. Holy fucking shit!! I cant believe this is happening!!! I put the pillow down and I heard my phone go off again, this time just a text. It was a number I didn't know.

Unknown-
It's Lonzo. 😘

Me-
Oh hey, whats up?

I typed like I'm not dancing on my coffee table with excitement. I put his name in my phone and waited for a reply, that didn't take very long.

Lonzo-
Just back to my house, what about you sexy? 😍

Me-
Just got off the phone. Thinking about quitting my job tbh. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Lonzo-
Why's that???

Me-
I got a call saying they want me as a permanent character on the TV show I starred in.... 🙂

Lonzo-
Holy shit! That's awesome!👏🏻👏🏻

Me-
Yeah its cool! 😸

I tried to act as normal as I possibly could.

Lonzo-
Well congrats! Come to my house and we can celebrate! I have a pool. 😛

Me-
Hmm I'll ask my friend Stephanie if she wants to come with and I'll get back at you. 😌

Lonzo-
The more the merrier. 😘

I put my phone away and smiled bigger. I cleaned up my house a bit. I knew that Stephanie was shooting for something until 4 so I waited till then to text her.

Me-
Come to my house ASAP😱

Stephanie-
Kay girl coming now!😩

I waited for her to get here, knowing she would just invite herself in. I stood up once I heard her come in. "I got casted full time at Killers Awaken!!" I squealed. She ran to me and hugged me tight. "Oh my fucking god!!" we jumped around a bit, "I'm so happy for you!!!"
"I'm so happy!" I smiled bigger. We calmed down our little celebration and then sat on the couch. "So anyways," I started, "That Lonzo guy said if we wanted to go to his house for a celebration we can go and swim?"
"Oh my god yes!" she giggled, "Pleaseee!"
"Okay, okay," I laughed, nodding. I texted Lonzo that Stephanie and I were coming and asked a time. "He said to be there around 6," I told her.
"Shit it's 5 now I have to go shower and get my swimsuit! I'll meet you at the elevator at quarter to!" she called as she jogged out of my apartment. I laughed a bit and went to my bedroom. I picked out a bikini and put it on. Over it I put on a sun dress that ended at my mid thigh. I thought it was really cute. It was a light pink color and had black lace lining the top of it. I put on a pair of slides and got my purse and stuff together.

Stephanie and I walked across the street to where Lonzo's house was. I knocked on the large door and waited for him to answer. A few seconds later the door opened to reveal a smiling Lonzo. "C'mon in, my friends are out back. The food is almost done," he told me, letting us in. We both walked in and looked around the huge house. "Damn this is nice," Stephanie told him.
"Thanks," he chuckled, "Follow me." We followed him through the house to the backyard. We walked out of the patio doors and there was the two guys he comes to the café with and someone I didn't know. "This is Kyle or Kuzma, whichever. Brandon or Ingram, and my roommate DMO," he introduced us.
"I'm Stephanie," Steph introduced herself.
"Valentina," I smiled.
"Oh we know," Kyle laughed, "You're all we hear about!" I laughed a bit and smiled over at Lonzo. He just laughed, shaking his head. "We gon call you Vee," DMO nodded.
"Fine by me," I laughed, shrugging.
"I like it," Lonzo smiled at me. I smiled back and agreed.

We ate dinner and had some Champaign as well. "You ready to swim?" Lonzo asked, taking his shirt off. God damn... He had a nice body. I agreed and stood up. I pulled my dress off and set it down on the chair I was sitting in."Dont stare you weirdo!" I teased Lonzo, laughing. He laughed and looked away. I walked over behind him and pushed him into the pool. I laughed harder and watched as he popped up out of the water. "Aye no one messes with my friend!!" Kuzma yelled and I turned around. He was running toward me, I laughed hard as he pushed me in, jumping in at the same time. I laughed hard and popped out of the water. This is going to be a fun night!
