My Dream Baller (Hoops Green FanFiction)

11.

We get home and I can't hold my excitement. "Wow! That really happened!" "And you were so mature about that whole situation. I'm proud of you sis." Keke says, taking off her makeup. I start wiping mine off as well. "How's Callum?" "Girl! Don't worry about him." I give her a look. "Okay, we decided to break things off." I look at her in shock. "Why?" "We don't have much going on romantically. Our connection is based on lust." "So?" "That's just not what I'm looking for right now." "Okay, that's a fair point." We finish our "get unready" process and watch a little TV. I've got an incomplete task.
I leave the TV room and get to work.

The next morning I walk into the grocery store and start my usual shopping. Keyana says she wants curl cream for her hair. I walk into the hair section. Omg! Isn't that Jennifer! I walk towards her and say hi. "Are you good?" I ask her. "Yeah. I'm amazing." "I'm glad you're being positive about this." "About what?" She gives me a mean look. "Well, everyone knows..." "We're just taking a break. I'm gonna have my baby back in my arms! So you have nothing to worry about." She snaps at me. "Alright." I nod my head and walk away. Oh my, she seems to be taking this badly. I grab Keke's curl cream and leave the hair section.

I pay for the groceries and walk out. "Brooke! I didn't know you shop here." I look up to see Briana's eyes brighten at my sight. "Bree, I just saw- well yeah, Keke wanted us to find a new place. One with fresher food and more hair products." "I see. You saw who?" Just then, as if things couldn't get more awkward, Jennifer walks out with her groceries. "Oh, let me help you there." Offers Bree as her ex walks past, struggling with her bags. "I got it!" She snaps at Bree. "Okay then." Says Bree moving out of her way. Jennifer keeps walking. "Yeah, I was gonna say I saw Jennifer." "Wait, how do you know her name?" I freeze, a little embarrassed.

"I'm teasing man. So many shows have mentioned her as my bae. Well, ex now." I sigh. "How are you doing?" I ask her. "How about I ask how you are doing? Let someone ask you first for a change." "I am good." I smile. "Now can I help you with your bags or are you gonna snap at me too?" I laugh under my breath then hand her two bags.

"You know, I call myself your friend but I haven't even seen your house." "It's a cute little apartment. That's all you need to know." "Nah, don't try to play me like that. I wanna see where you live girl." "Really?" "Yeah, you know how many girls would pay for me to take this kind of interest?" I laugh out loud. "So you think I'm a fan?" "I know you are." She winks at me. I laugh even more. "So am I gonna see your house or not?" "Okay. You may see mi casa." "Okay, let's go." "Wait, right now?" "It's now or never baby!" Omw, she just called me baby, well indirectly. So Bree hops into Keke's car and we drive home.

"This is nice." I close the door behind us. "To a Baller like you?" "Oh come on, I'm not a typical baller. Most ballers have big egos and stay in mansions to make up for what they don't have morally." I cough lightly. "Come on, you have such a big ego!" She laughs. "Nothing wrong with a little confidence." "Biggest ego I've ever met." I roll my eyes playfully. "Next to Kanye of course." We both laugh.

"What's going on in here?" Keke asks walking into the living room. "Hey Bree!" "Hey Keke." Keke widens her eyes at me. "Brooke, can we talk for a minute." I get up and walk towards Keke. She leads me into her room. "How the heck did you get this lucky!" "Just bumped into her at the grocery store." I say nonchalantly. "Im starting to think y'all are just meant to be." "I think so too." I laugh a little.
I get back to the living room and Bree's gone. I check my phone and sure enough, there's a text from Bree.

**Had to go, couldn't miss practice. Come see me at the game tonight. I left passes for you and Keke on the couch."
