Melo and I decided to give our relationship one last try. No one knows besides Gelo because like always, he caught us kissing.

Since it was Melo's birthday, he was having a dinner and was going to Bora Bora. I was gonna surprise him at dinner, and Gelo helped me make arrangements for Bora Bora.

Melo and I talked on FaceTime as I got ready for practice. We weren't officially back together, but we were back to the old us. Everyone thought we were back to being best friends, and they didn't suspect anything else.

It felt good to not have people in our business.

"Good work out ladies, remember to take care of yourself and go see the trainer if you need anything and enjoy the rest of your weekend." Coach Close dismissed practice.

Everyone began to grab their bags and headed to the locker room. "Ugh I'm so tired! Why are Saturday practices so early." Ahlana groans.

"Maybe you wouldn't be so tired if you weren't out late partying." Natalie laughs at her.

"At least coach gave us an easy work out today."I sat down in front of my cubby. Usually practice would be very intense,with running and going over defense. But today we were blessed with shooting drills and fun scrimmages.

"So what are y'all up to tonight." I asked. "You already know I'm gonna be throwing it back on my lil boo." Ahlana stick her tongue out, if you couldn't tell, she was wild, or a "free spirit" as she likes to say.

"Speaking of boos, Dom what's going on with you and Shareef." Jaden gave me a smirk.

"Nothing is going on between us," I laughed, "We're just friends."

"Just friends? You really expect us to believe that y'all are just friends?" Natalie said.

"Yes," I told them, "I don't even know where y'all got the idea that we would be more than that."

"Well maybe because you two are always together, you're always cuddling, shall I continue?" Jaden points out, "Oh and I'm not gonna say any names, but a little birdie told us that he seen you two making out."

"Who said that?" Besides cuddling around our friends, Shareef and I never showed any affection towards each other. We only kissed when we were in private, so I don't know who seen us.

"I'm not snitching." Jaden pretends to zip her lips and throw away the key. "It was Jaylen." Ahlana says, "Him and kris went over to Shareef's apartment, and then seen y'all through the window."

"So is it true?" Natalie asked making them all come closer, getting excited to hear my answer.

"Yes," They all squeal like school girls, "but that was along time ago, I don't think we're gonna get together."

When Melo and I decided to give us another try, I stopped messing around with Shareef. Of course we would hang out 24/7, but I just wouldn't flirt.

"So you two aren't a thing?" I could tell Jaden wasn't buying it, "You have zero feelings for him?"

Before I could answer karlie walks in, "Who has zero feelings for who?" She was a kinesiology major, and they had to basically be a manager for the different teams. We had another manager, but we didn't really talk to her.
