Something has been off with JT since I mentioned him being benched for his first game. It's like anytime I mention practice he seems tense. He tells me it's the stress of practice and his classes but I know JT well enough to know that it's more to it.
Right now I can't worry about what is really bothering JT, right now I have to find a way to sneak out of this class without Brandon seeing me. I swear he has been doing everything possible to get my attention. "Alright class you're dismissed." Before my professor could get "dismiss" out of his mouth I was already out of the door.
Once I made it to my car I jumped in and headed home. Inside I dropped my bag and placed my phone on the counter. Opening the fridge to find me something to eat I grabbed the turkey and cheese and made me a sandwich. I grabbed some cheddar and sour cream ruffle chips, my phone and sat down on the couch to relax. Hitting the power button on the remote I sat back watching ESPN for the latest stats while enjoying this bomb ass sandwich I made.
Placing the now empty plate to the side I picked up my phone, opened up IG and scrolled through seeing all of my old high school friends posting pics. I liked a few pics and continued to scroll down my feed. Just as I was about to close the app I came across a pic Brandon had just posted.
I read the caption "IF only I could be your MCM 😔" and closed the App. I got up from the couch and placed my plate in the sink (I'll wash it later) then walked back over to the couch and flipped through the channels looking for something else to watch. As I was flipping through channels I couldn't get that pic of Brandon out my mind. Those tattoos, the hair, and the body.... no no no I said out loud shaking my head trying to erase the thoughts that were freely flowing through my head. "No what" JT ask as he closed the door behind him. I quickly turned my head looking at JT who was in his work out gear. "Oh just the highlights of the football game" I said leaning back as JT kissed my lips.
"How was practice today" I asked standing up to stretch my legs. "It was cool. We're almost ready for our first game next week" JT said as he closed the fridge opening up a Gatorade. "I'm about to jump in the shower real quick and then I want to go to the mall" he said putting the Gatorade down on the counter.

"Yo let's go in Footaction. I want to see if they have these new sneakers I want" I told my homeboy Sean. I scan the shelves looking for the sneakers, spotting them I pick them up and look at the a little more closer. "Can I help you with anything today" I hear behind me so I turn to see this thick little shorty. "I lick my lips and say "yeah can I get these in a 10 1/2 please?" I place the shoe back on the shelf and turn my attention back to shorty. "Sure give me a minute" she says turning to go find my size in the back. "Yo she thick as fuck" Sean said as we both watch shorty walking away.
"These right here are the ones I want" I hear a familiar voice say. I turn to see DJ and that dude JT standing there looking at the Jordan's I just picked out. It's something in the way they stand there looking at each other. The dude JT takes the sneaker from DJ and starts walking towards the register. I turn my attention to him as I see him ask another employee for the size he needed. DJ is so caught up in his phone that he doesn't even see me standing there.
"Here you go sir" shorty says handing me the box of shoes. "Thank you" I say smiling at her as she starts blushing a little. "Is that all you need today" she ask with a slight smirk. " Yeah that'll be all today shorty" I say to her flirting a little bit. "Okay follow me and I'll check you out" she says turning around walking towards the register. "That'll be 204. 57." I hand her my debit card to pay for my stuff and see the dude helping JT hand him two different boxes. JT tells him to ring up both pairs and hands him his card. "Why is he buying DJ's shoes" I think to myself. "Here you go Sir. Have a nice day" ol girl says handing me my card and bag.
As I start to leave the store I see JT give the shoe bag to DJ. It happens so fast I wasn't sure I actually seen it happen, but DJ takes JT's hand and caresses it but quickly let's it go when he looks up and our eyes connect. I smirk a little as I realize this is the nigga DJ is in a relationship with. I'm competing with the star basketball player. Well not really competing because DJ shows no interest when I try to talk to him.
"Come on bro" Sean says and we leave the store. We go in several more stores and I buy stuff I don't even need. I take out my phone to take a snap of all the stuff I bought (why do niggas do this) and see that DJ had updates his snap a few mins ago. It's a video of him and JT walking around clowning in the mall. I quickly type a text on my screen and send it to my story.
