Did That Just Happen? (Damian Lillard Love Story)

Chapter 2

Next morning, I woke up around 10:30 and did my morning routine.  My hair would not cooperate with me.  My hair is really curly and thick making it difficult to do anything to it (black girls know the struggle).  So I decided to (more like attempted to) put my hair in a bun and wear my Chicago snapback and call it a day.  I changed into my black skinny jeans, red t-shirt, and my black,white, and red Jordans.

  I walked into the kitchen and got a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (love them!).  Georgia walked into the kitchen.  "Good morning." "Morning" she mumbled as she grabbed a cup of coffee.  She isn't a morning person, but when she gets her coffee, she is back to her normal upbeat self.  After finishing my cereal, I grabbed my bag and keys.  "Where are you going?" "Im going to the mall, do some shopping" I said. Georgia said "Ok, have fun. Just don't come back with more sneakers. You already have like 50 pairs"  "First of all, I only have 18 pairs, and second of all, I know you not talking about having plenty of shoes Ms. I have about 100 pairs of heels."  She rolled her eyes and laughed while I walked out the door.

AT THE MALL

I just bought 2 snapbacks and 1 pair of sneakers.  While walking though the mall, my mom texted me.

M: hi nessa  wat r u up to?

V: hi mom  im at the mall doing some shopping

M: R u gonna come home for gram's birthday next month?

V:of course i am

M: thats good  r u also gonna bring anyone with u? maybe a boyfriend?

V: i need a boyfriend first before i can bring one home  besides im not really looking for one

M: ok but just remember that i want some grandbabies  love you

V: love u 2

My mom is so crazy, but I love her to death. As I replied to her, I ended up running into someone.  Whoever this person is, they are very tall and muscular. "I'm so sorry" the mystery person said. I looked up and saw it was the star point guard of the Portland Trailblazers himself, Damian Lillard.

  "No, it's fine.  It's my fault anyway, I wasn't watching where I was going."  As I picked up my bags, I noticed he had some nice sneakers.  "Nice shoes! I almost bought those, but I got some different ones".  Damian said "Thanks.  Why didn't you just buy both?".  "You see, I would but the way my budget is set up, I can only buy one at a time."  He laughed and said "Yeah I get that. I'm Damian.  "I know. I'm Vanessa." He asked, "Are you a fan?"  "Yea, I am, but I'm more of a basketball fan in general.  But my friend Georgia, saying she is a huge fan is a big understatement." Damian laughs and says "Really?" "Really. One time you guys lost to the Knicks, she hates the Knicks but I don't know why, she cried. And it was only a preseason game."  "Wow."  I said, "Yea she's crazy, but I love her."  After laughing a bit, we stopped and stared into each other's eyes.  He has really pretty brown eyes, I am a sucker for brown eyes.  I didn't even realize that my phone was ringing until I heard J.Cole's Power Trip. It was Georgia.

V:hello

G:hey  are you still at the mall?

V: im just about to leave    why?

G: I was hoping you would bring some food home, like some Wendy's or something.

V: alrite I'll get some   I'll be back soon

I turned to Damian and said "I have to go.  It was nice meeting you" "Nice meeting you too."   I started to walk away when he called my name. I turned around and saw him jogging toward me. "Whats up?"  He looked a little nervous and rubbed the back of his neck.  "I was wondering if I could get your number" Thats cute, he's nervous. I smiled and said "Sure"  I gave him my phone and he gave me his and put our numbers in our phones. Damian said "Alright, so I'll talk to you later then?" "Yea text me sonetime" Damian smiled and said "Ok. Bye" I waved and walk away.  I could feel him stare at me as I walked away.  I turned to look at him, and I was right.

 

  When I got in my car, i realized what all just happened.  Did that just happen? Did I really just meet Damian Lillard?  After getting food from Wendy's, I drove home.  I got to the door, only to be meet by Georgia, who takes the Wendy's bag from me. "Well hello to you too" "Sorry girl, I'm just so hungry" she said while running to the kitchen.  I shook my head and walked into my room.  I laid on my bed, replaying todays events in my head. Yea, I really did just meet Damian Lillard.
