Ball Is Life

Chapter 6.1

India

It was a loud knock on my door and I didn't want to get up. I opened my eyes and looked at Chris. He had the baby cradled in his arms and his face in the pillow. He sure as hell didn't want to get up. We were up all night with the baby. I mean, Chris was. I wasn't about to stay up all night staring at a sleeping baby. He's a fucking weirdo.

"India, please get the door." My roommate said across the room.

"Please Aaliyah." I said in a sleepy voice.

"Ugh."

I listened as she got off her bed and opened the door.

"Who the fuck are you knocking on my fucking door at some fucking 5 in the morning." Aaliyah snapped.

I chuckled and heard Chris laugh too.

"I don't give a fuck if you here picking up a million dollars. Don't be knocking on my door at some five in the morning. Fuck is wrong with you. Hold on."

Aaliyah shut the door and came and turned on the dim lights.

"Some nigga name dime here to pick up that cry baby ass baby."

"What the fuck?" I said jumping out the bed.

"Fuck is he here for so early India?"

"Chris, I don't know." I went to open the door but Chris stopped me.

"Put a fucking robe on. You have a bra and some shorts on. Come correct."

I didn't try to argue back because I know I would lose. I grabbed Aaliyah's robe and put it on, closing it. I opened the door and dime stood there with a smile on his face.

"What's up sleeping beauty, I'm here to pick up RB."

"No the fuck you not. Not this early."

"Come on, I have to go to practice and I won't be able to come get her later."

"Fuck!"

I looked behind me and watched as Chris jumped out of bed and started putting on his clothes.

I turned back to dime and told him to hold on and I'll get her ready. He nodded and I closed the door. I went to get Riley's diaper bag and her car seat. I wrapped her up in a cover and swung the diaper bag over my shoulder. By the time I went to open the door, Chris was already out to he bathroom dressed in his practice stuff and had his gym bag over his shoulder.

"Forgot you had practice babe?" I asked Chris, smirking.

"Yeah, now I'm all stressed and shit. I need some pussy."

"Ew, nasty motherfucker." Aaliyah said laughing.

"Don't let it get to you babe. Just calm down. And you already know after practice you can have it all." I winked at him slyly.

Chris smiled and opened the door. Dime stood there with his hands behind his back. Chris and him had a stare down and I just looked between the both of them.

I pushed the car seat into Dimes chest and he broke his eyes from Chris and looked at me.

"Thanks India. I won't be able to bring her back until about 9. After practice I have work and shit, so-."

"I'll come and get her from practice. Or you can give her to Chris-."

"You'll come get her." Chris said. "I have class after practice and I'll be damned if I take a baby to class."

"Alright. Guess I'll come get her. When is practice over?" I asked Chris.

"5." Dime said.

Chris glared at dime and dime just smiled and shook his head.
