The Other Side *A Blake Griffin FanFic*

“Waiting for that to start talking to you?” DJ laughed sitting in the seat next to his friend.

It was the next day and the Clippers were on their flight to Memphis. Blake was looking at the picture Brielle had sent him and apparently he was spending a lot of time doing it. He had seen it the night before after he and Kayla had settled in and actually started going to sleep. Well she was settling in and going to sleep, Blake was wide awake thinking not so innocent thoughts about the girl in the black dress. Brielle. 

She looked gorgeous. Not like how he remembered seeing her around campus. Was she always this good looking? He noticed Sam was in the picture with her and was grateful at least one of the guys could be there for her. He wondered where she was since she wasn’t in the picture. Maybe they had broken up and Sam was talking to Brielle now. No. That couldn’t be. 

“Well?” DJ asked still waiting for a response to his previous question. 

“What?”Blake asked finally looking up from his phone and at his friend who had an amused smirk on his face. 

“Kayla know you’ve got a thing for the girl in the black dress? That’s clearly not Kayla,” DJ laughed looking wide eyed at the picture on Blake’s phone. 

“No it’s not Kayla. Her name is Brielle. She’s a friend from OU,” Blake said closing the picture and putting his phone back in his pocket.

“By the looks of it she’s dating Sam Bradford. He go to OU too?” DJ asked. 

“No. Well he did, the three of us were friends. Are friends. He was dating a girl named Megan last I knew,” Blake said crinkling his forehead in thought. 

“You’re stressing over your friends girlfriend?” DJ asked. “I mean I would be too if I were in your shoes. She’s hot,” DJ laughed. 

“Yeah well she didn’t always look like that. Or maybe she did and I was just too busy to notice,” Blake sighed rubbing the back of his head. 

“Or maybe you, my friend, knew you were a playa and wanted to save her the heartache,” DJ laughed getting up from his seat singing the chorus to Tie Me Down by New Boyz as he walked back to the back of the plane. 

“Very funny. Asshole,” Blake called after him. 

‘What am I doing?’ Blake thought to himself. He had Kayla. She clearly had Sam so what was the big deal? He was looking forward to talking to her tonight. They had the night off before shoot around in the morning. Hopefully he could get his thoughts sorted out before having to focus on the game tomorrow night.

Brielle was walking into the Thunder practice facility. She had some charting she had to do from practice the day before. She left before she could get it done so she could get ready for the banquet. She had just sat down at her computer when Scott Brooks, the Thunder head coach approached her.
