AT MY BEST

Twenty-Six

Jordan and I ceased all communication for the past two months. JT and Scottie would bring him up occasionally in regards to the wedding, but kept the conversation to a minimum considering they were the shoulder's I cried on about him for the bulk of these past months. My brother's basketball season was underway and his next home game was against the Golden State Warriors. He was so excited to be playing against his idol Steph Curry he invited everybody to his game, including Jordan. The two of them remained closed despite the demise of our romantic relationship. They were so close Devyn agreed to be the face of Jordan's clinic. Shawn thought it would be a good look for not only Jordan's first business venture but my brother as well. There were plenty of parents in the city who thought their young child had what it takes to be in the NBA or WNBA and with twenty guaranteed spots to any of my brothers youth training camps long as they went to Jordan for there child's healthcare meant big business for the both of them. Plus my brother was just as crazy about working with kids as Jordan was so the partnership made sense.

The thought of Jordan and I being in close proximity after such a ugly breakup made my stomach turn. I pleaded with my brother to let me skip this one game but he wasn't having it, especially since my parents booked a cruise the same day to the Bahamas before the hawk's schedule came out. Luckily there was two upsides to this. For one Since all of my friends were going I wouldn't be alone with my ex who I still loved, and two Chloe and JT's men were in the middle of their football seasons with the Falcons and Eagles so I wouldn't be the only manless friend at the game. Because several of Devyns teammates shopped at my boutique in the men's section and often flirted with me, even the ones in relationships I did my best not to dress sexy since I had floor seats, especially when the only man who's eye's I wanted on me was Jordan's. I wore my custom made Jersey with my brother's name and number which was #30 like curry's, paired with ripped skinny jeans and my red pumps.

Chloe, JT and I all decided to ride with each other since we didn't want to third, fourth and fifth wheel with Scottie and Shawn. The three of us made it to Phillips Arena before Shawn, Scottie and Jordan which was a sigh of relief. I needed these extra few minutes to get my life together.

"Hey! Boss lady JT and I are gonna go get drinks and food you want anything?"

"Umm! I'll take a water for now, Thanks Chloe."

"Bitch! My cousin bout to sit in any of those seats next to you. You sure you just want a water?"

"I'll let you know when he gets here, but yall go ahead a water for now is fine."

I was nervous about Jordan coming but those feelings would have to be put aside tonight. It was a big night for my brother and he deserved all of my attention tonight. I quickly pulled  my phone out as the girls made their way to the concession area to shoot my brother a text.

"Dev the girl's and I are here and Scottie and the boys are otw. Can't wait to see you ball out tonight. love you."

"Awsome! Glad yall made it I'm a little nervous but I'm sure you are too. Remember whatever you feel he prolly does too. "

"And love you too sis"

I smiled at Devyns text knowing exactly what he was talking about. Leave it to him to be playing against his idol and he was still thinking of me.

"Thanks baby bro😘❤ #Gohawks"

I was focused on my phone as the area continued to fill up with fans. I was scrolling through my Instagram of pics the girls and I took before we came in when a sexy deep voice broke my focus.

"Hey Giselle! How you doing?"

It was the familiar voice I longed for to say my name for the last two months. I looked up to see Jordan standing in front of me looking sexy as ever. He had grown his facial hair out and even his hair was in braids. He looked amazing in his all black attire paired with a black leather jacket and a Cuban link chain and diamond studs in both ear.  I always loved how his style could go from Doctor to Street at any second.
As I looked at him he flashed those sexy dimples and beautiful smile.
