Made to be Together [Lonzo Ball]

1️⃣9️⃣

After class was over, me and Gelo went back to mine and Lonzo's house.

"So....Izzy called me to talk." Gelo said, breaking our silence.

"You gonna talk to her?" I asked.

"Yeah.... but I want you there to mediate the situation." Gelo said. "I don't want any screaming or cussing."

I nodded my head and pulled into my driveway. I seen Izzy sitting on the porch and looked at Gelo. We got out the car and walked on the porch. Izzy stood up and her and Gelo just stared at each other......and it was awkward.

"Well, I'm gonna go see if my husband is home." I said trying to walk into the house to get out of this awkward situation.

"He's not. He went to see Zoey." Gelo said, making me stop and mentally cuss him out.

I really tried to get out of this.

"Gelo...can we talk?" Izzy asked.

Gelo nodded and I really didn't want to get in their business.

"I'm gonna let you two talk." I said trying again to get out of this situation. I tried to walk into the house again but Gelo grabbed my shirt.

"I done told you to mediate this conversation."

"I don't want to."

"Well you're going to."

"Okay bossy pants."

We went into the house and sat at the kitchen table.

"Okay, why do you need Aaliyah to mediate this conversation?" Izzy asked Gelo.

"I don't want any screaming or cussing."

"Oh okay. LiAngelo....I'm sorry. What I did was a mistake but it's still inexcusable and I apologize."

"Isabella, do you love me?"

"You know I do...."

"Do I really know that? Because you did cheat on me." Gelo said being petty.

"Gelo..." I warned.

"Sorry.... why did you do it Izzy? Was I not a good boyfriend? Was I not enough for you? Did I do something wrong?"

"No...Gelo. That's not it... it's just you were so busy with basketball and I felt like you never had time for me anymore.... we never went on dates like we used to. We didn't talk like we used to. Gelo, I felt neglected and I felt like you didn't want me anymore."

"So, instead of talking to me about how you felt, you went and cheated on me?!" Gelo yelled and smacked the table.

"You're yelling." I said and Gelo looked at me and took a deep breath.

"Okay, continue."

"Aaliyah, Kaliah and I went to a party and I had too much to drink and I started dancing with this guy. One thing led to another and....it just happened."

I snapped my head up when she said my name and Gelo looked at me.

"Okay, I know what you're thinking. But it's not my fault. Kaliah actually dragged the both of us there. I lost both them the minute we stepped into the spot. I didn't know she drank. I didn't know she was dancing with a guy and I for damn sure didn't know she went upstairs with a guy." I said defending myself. Ain't no fucking way, I'm gonna let him think that I knew she cheated.
