Did That Just Happen? (Damian Lillard Love Story)

Chapter 4

We pulled up to the Moda Center.  "Girl, I am soooooooo excited!  It's great to watch a game on tv.  I bet its even better to watch it in person."  I turned toward her quickly, wide eyed. "Wait.... you have never been to an NBA game? Like, never in your life?"  She shook her head, shyly.  'Why didn't you tell me? We could have been going to games."  "I just never brought it up."  "Well, I can tell you that going to a game is a lot more fun than watchin it at home" I said while walking inside. "Also, it won't be just you screaming. It will be you and thousands of other people screaming." Georgia grinned at me and looked around in awe.  I love going to basketball games. I just love the excitement just before a game. When we made it to our seats, Georgia's jaw drop.  We had a great view of the court.  We sat right across from the Blazers bench.  OH SHIT! I forgot to text Dame.  None of the players were out yet, so I assumed he was by his phone.  I frantically looked for my phone.  Georgia noticed this and asked "What's wrong? You didn't lose your phone again did you?" I playfully glared at her. "No. I just......forgot to text my mom back."  Technically, I didn't lie to her.  I did have to text her back, but I can do that when I get back home.  So, I didn't lie to her, it was a pre-truth.  Also, if i told her I was gonna text Damian, or as she knows him as "the guy I went out to lunch with", she would get super nosy and try to hijack my phone.  It's happened before.  Anyways, I text him.

V:Hey, we are sitting across from you guy's bench  not gonna lie, i almost 4got 2 txt u

I was shocked to see that I got a text about a minute later.

D:so u 4got about me?  i c how u feel  lol jk

V:i would never 4get about u :)  anyway we r about 5 rows up from courtside  u might see Georgia b4 u c me  shit, u might hear her b4 u c me   good luck and stay focused  don't pay 2 much attention to me

D:that might be hard  not paying attention to a beautiful girl but ill try

"Why are you smiling so hard?" Georgia asked, looking at me suspiciously.  "Um...oh look! The players are about to come out."  After the player introductions, i watched Damian run to get a basketball.  He looks so cute in his warm up uniform.  Get a hold of yourself Vanessa! You just met the guy yesturday.  I looked over at Georgia. She looked like a kid who saw Santa.  "This is so cool." she said with a huge grin on her face.

During the game, she was yelling and screaming sooo loud.  I wouldn't be shocked to leave deaf or she lost her voice.  While I was watching the action on the court, it felt like soneone was staring at me.  After looking around, my eyes found another pair of eyes staring back at me.  It was Damian.  He looked away, as if he wasn't looking at me a few seconds ago.  I mouthed to him, "You ain't slick!"  He smiled and mouthed, "Yes I am!"  I looked over at Georgia to see if she caught our little exchange, only to see that she was really focusing on the game.  Its great to see that she is having a good time. 

   I ended up rooting for the   Trailblazers.  I know that the Wizards is my home team, but I have to support my friend on the Blazers.  Never thought I would say that.  Anyways, the game was pretty close.  Then, Damian hit a three pointer.  "AHHHH!!" Georgia screams along with everyone else, including me. "Wait a minute....you just screamed.  I never thought this day would come. Somewhere pigs are flying." "I can get excited about a game." Washington used a timeout."Yea, but never with me.  We have to come to these games more often." I turned back around and saw Dame looking at me; he smiled at me. I smiled back and gave him a thumbs up.

*AFTER THE GAME*

Sadly, they lost. The score was 96-99.  They still did good. Georgia was a little dissapointed, but I think she had a good time.  I should text Damian.  Wait, he just finished playing. Nah, I'll just text him.

V:Good game. U did great.

We drove home. Georgia went right to bed. I guess the game tired her out. After taking a shower, I layed in my bed and saw I had a text message.

D: Thanks. I saw u staring at me

V: Um no  i think was that was u staring at me

We ended up text for another hour.  As much as I loved talking to him, I had to get some sleep.  I act bitchy when I don't get enough sleep.  I told him goodnight and went to sleep.
