~A couple weeks later~
Paris
"Are you excited!?" Shaniya asked with a smile as we sat on the private jet, on our way to game 1 of the 2017 finals.
I smiled at her.
"Of course! The finals are always exciting. Especially when it's the third year and one team wants revenge and the other wants a repeat."
"I texted Kevin about an hour, he seems really excited."
"I know he is." I smiled. "This is his chance, to get the ring that he wants."
I looked down at my phone to see that Kyrie had texted me.
King Irving👑😘: How's the flight babygirl❤️
~It's good. Shaniya is keeping me good company. Good luck at practice.
I sighed and turned my phone off, looking out the window.
"How are you and Mr. Irving? You guys have been arguing a bit more.." She said, raising an eyebrow.
She was right. Ever since the pictures with him and Kehlani, we've been arguing more. Specifically, it was his jealousy of my friendship with Malik. I told him he was being ridiculous, but then he'd say that he knew the signs, referring to when Kehlani cheated on him. I was sick of him pulling his past into our present, but I tried to keep the arguing to a minimum, with Finals here, I didn't want to add more stress to him.
"We're fine." I shrugged. "I mean..yeah..we've been arguing a bit more but..nothing major."
She gave me a slight nod.
"Okay. You guys are cute. I hope those petty arguments don't turn into something bigger."
I hope so too..
Kyrie
I shot the ball up and it rimmed out. I groaned and mentally yelled at myself for missing. These past weeks had been the most stressful. With preparing to go against one of the best superteams in the NBA, the standards that my team had to live up to, to my arguments with Paris, almost every other day.
It didn't help that the situation with Kehlani was still replaying in my head..
I knew the arguments between me and Paris were my fault and it was just my insecurities showing, but with all the stress I was dealing with, I accidentally lashed out at her..
"Kyrie!"
I was broken out of my thoughts as Kevin and Tristan walked over to me.
"You okay? You looked spaced out.." Tristan stated.
I rolled my eyes.
"I'm fine." I mumbled, dribbling the basketball and shooting it up...only to miss...again..
"You'll get your rhythm." Kevin said, patting my back.
I sighed, I was never myself when I was having shooting woes, but I knew I could get through it for tomorrow.
"You guys ready?" I asked, taking a break and taking a drink of water.
Kevin nodded, a smile on his face.
"Of course. I'm still confident from last year. This team can do anything..including beating a KD led Warriors team."
