*Flashback to the draft*

I was due to fly to New York for the draft and I had just landed. I got off the plane and grabbed my bag and then hailed an Uber to the hotel that the guys were staying at. I got to the hotel and saw Wendell, Gary, and Marvin sitting in the lobby on one of the couches.

Gary: Well there she is

Me: Hello to you too

Wendell: Good thing you're here

Me: Why what's going on

Marvin: Nothing but you're wanted upstairs

I walked upstairs but not before asking them what room he was in. I walked up the door and knocked on it and he opened up the door and let me into the room he was staying in. I looked around the room and saw some candles lit and vase of a dozen peonies my favorite flower he gets me.

Me: You didn't need to do this

Grayson: What I can't do something for a woman I should've dated a long time ago

Me: You're just now realizing this

Grayson: Do you remember the first time I kissed you

Me: I do and I for one second don't regret it and I want that all the time

Grayson: Are you saying we should try this

Me: I guess I am

Grayson: You guess

Me: Okay I am saying that but thank you for this

Grayson: I would give you the world

Me: And I would do the same

Grayson: See you later tonight

Me: I'd count on it

After we were done I walked downstairs and left to go to where I was staying. My parents had gotten me an Airbnb for the weekend but I told them that I would be coming home after the draft. I heard my phone go off with a text from Justin Robinson a good friend of mine that plays at Duke asking me to meet up with him for lunch.

I hailed an Uber to the cafe he wanted me to meet him at which was close to Central Park. I love New York during the summer it's so pretty and so is the park. I walk in and see J-Rob sitting at a table in the back waiting for me.

Justin: Good to see you not surprising that you're here

Me: I was asked to come he wanted me to

Justin: I heard you applied for a media relations job

Me: Yes I did and I got it

Justin: Where and which team

Me: It's with the Jazz

Justin: Does that change anything with you guys if he gets drafted there

Me: No it doesn't change anything

Justin: I mean the way he looks at you I don't think I've ever seen a guy look at a girl the same way he does you

Me: After all this time he's still the one

Justin: I'll see you tonight

Me: Yes and thank you for lunch

After lunch I got in an Uber and headed to the house I was staying in. I walked in and went to go take a shower to get ready for tonight. I walk over to the closet and grab the navy blue dress and the silver pumps I brought with me. I get an Uber to the Barclays Center for the draft and I walk to go find Coach Scheyer as he was here as well. I spot Scheyer and see him talking to Grayson's parents. Sherry Allen is a true queen she's like a second mom to me. I walk up and grab a seat next to Scheyer and I get a text from Donovan Mitchell saying that he's here somewhere.
