Selfish (A Basketball Love Story) 1&2

Mason

"Mason, you not paying no attention to me, why are you even here." She said to me.

"Cause yo ass begged me to be here, stop that whining shit cause it ain't cute."

"But your here soooo don't complain." She said rolling her eyes.

"Why the fuck am I here?" I looked up from my phone at her.

"Cause I wanted to spend time with you. You act like you hate me." She cried.

"Cause I do, you act like I really want to be with you, yo deadass. Did you forget that you blackmailing me? Your delusional as fuck bruh!" I said getting up to leave.

"You act like we don't have years together!" She came towards me.

I started laughing.

"We don't. You been with your so called nigga since before we started fucking around, yo deadass Allison you ain't shit but a bird shorty. How the fuck you expect me to wife you when you don't even know how to be one. This shit is comical, I'm out!" She pissed me off.

Because of the shit Allison was holding over my head I couldn't be with Bella like I wanted to. Allison is a good trap queen, if that's what you want to call it. She wasn't shit to me. Bella had a nigga gone and didn't even know it. I couldn't just end her life like I wanted to cause it was too risky and I had my lively hood on the line.

"What's wrong?" Bella asked me as I laid my head in her lap while she rubbed my weaves. We were coo, not like we were before but once I get Allison out the way I was gone wife her ass up the right way.

"Nothing, just thinking about some shit."

"Your lying but I'll let you have that." She said looking back at the tv.

"Where do you see your self in 5 years?" I asked her.

"Huh?"

"You heard me."

"Yea I heard you but what made you ask me that?" She asked putting the tv on mute.

"Just answer me."

"I wanna be a Athletic Trainer. But I also want to open up a sports store like ice cube had on 'are we there yet'." She said smiling.

"You don't want to play professionally?" I quizzed.

"No, I mean I love Basketball but at some point I fell out of love playing it my self, I still love sports hence what I want to do after college but playing them myself isn't something I want."

"That's wassup, I love your ambition and drive shorty."

"Thank you, but what about you?"

"Ball is all I know, that my passion and dream. I haven't thought about shit else. Ima get my business degree though cause shit happens but ball is where my heart is."

"What about you other dealings." She said using quotations when she said dealings. She knew what I did in the side cause I did it with her brothers, she just didn't know everything, unfortunately Allison does.

"By the time I get drafted ima let it go. I already talked to Mello and Cario about it, they understand that I got bigger plans. Besides they wasn't gone let me continue anyways." I told her shrugging.

"Aw ok, cause I wouldn't want you to get drafted and then caught up." He nodded.

"Naa, I'm not jeopardizing my future." I shook my head.

"Come ride with me, I wanna show you something." I said to her as I stood up.

"Where are we going?" She asked.
