Stay in Your Lane | Lonzo Ball

Chapter 46

Lonzo

Izzy took me up on my offer and stayed the night in my room. We stayed up until a little after midnight talking, laughing and watching tv. I could tell she was becoming more and more comfortable with me by how we were cuddling in my bed.

When I woke up, we were in a different position than fell asleep in. I was on my stomach. An arm and leg was draped over her. My head resting right in the middle of her chest; her fingers in my hair.

Before lifting my head up, I realized and appreciate the view I had. Damn. Not only did they look good in the tank top she had on, but they were soft as fuck. No wonder why I laid my head on them. They felt like pillows.

Then I realized that I had slobbered and left a nice little pool of it on her sternum.

Damn, I must have been sleeping too good.

I used one of the shirts lying on the floor at the side of my bed to wipe it off.

My alarm would go off in few minutes, so I figured that there was no reason to go back to sleep. Instead, I admired her. She slept so quiet and peacefully. The sun peaking through the blinds made her brown skin look that much more beautiful.

I really like this girl. I'm trying so hard to not rush anything and take our time with dating, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I wanted her to be mine and mine only.

I met her parents. I think introducing her to my parents at the next home game will take us another step forward.

I gotta keep proving that this 19 year old was serious. She's a good girl. I'm not gonna let that pass me by.

My alarms sounded off to snatch me out of my thoughts. Izzy was moving around, but not wanting to wake up.

"Turn it off, Zo," she groaned, putting a pillow over her head.

I laid back down and tickled her on both sides until she gave in.

"Alright, Alright. I'm up!"

"Good morning," I smiled.

She rolled her eyes playfully, "Morning Zo."

Lowering my head, I was swift with stealing a kiss on her lips. She smiled, which led me to go for more. Her neck, cheek...I was so drawn into her.

She cupped my face with her hands and initiated a longer, deeper kiss. Falling back on the bed didn't make us break it. My hands went to her hips and guided her on top of me. Her thighs straddled my waist. As the makeout intensified, my hands found a resting place on her ass.

"Damn Izzy," I mumbled against her lips.

I didn't know what I wanted to do, but wasn't sure if it was okay. My hands wanted to explore. Hell, my mouth did too. I didn't want to ruin the moment.

She pulled away slowly, smiled and quickly buried her face into the crook of my neck as she giggled.

"Good morning, Zo."

"What you acting shy for? There was nothing shy about that...at all."

She lifted up and rolled off me to get out of bed. I was quick enough to smack her on the ass before she got out of reach.

Looking back, she gasped and held the cheek I popped.

I followed suit and got up to get the day started. Once we went through our morning rituals and got dressed, I walked her to class

I went through my Monday classes as usual, sitting in the front trying to soak in as much information as I could. To be honest, I love to learn and school has always been a place that I thrived in. I would love to stay here, get the full college experiences, a degree and develop as a basketball player. However, my dad had different plans. One year and done. I didn't really have a say so.
