Basketball Wives : Los Angeles

Ep. 5

Sitting in his car , Lonzo banged his head against the window as his phone went crazy. This shit was bad and he had no idea how it had gotten out in the first place. His cell phone began to ring and he looked at the caller I.D. before sluggishly answering it.

"If you're going to give me shit I don't need it right now , bro."

"Nah I'm just checking on you." LiAngelo spoke sincerely before a laugh escaped his lips "This is a big fucking mess you made but I just wanted to see if Lani had killed you yet?"

"You not even funny but I haven't seen her yet. I'm trying to loosen some attachments before I do that."

"Oh word?"

"Yeah , I can't make it better if I'm still fucking with the other girl so I'm outside her spot right now. Just trying to figure out the best way to say this because she's unpredictable as shit."

"Well , you chose her." LiAngelo blew a raspberry while Lonzo gave his phone the side eye.

"You really are encouraging you know that?"

"Yeah I do , my girl be telling me all the time but on the real you got yourself in this mess. You don't need encouragement you need to just fix it. So , I'm going to let you face your demons and call me when you're done so I can let dad know if his big baller brand should still have 3 B's or 2, cool?"

"Man , shut the fuck up." Lonzo hung up before throwing his phone back in his back pack. With two more deep breaths he finally found the courage to exit his vehicle and walk into the lobby of Taylor's highrise apartment. Walking past the door man , he headed for the elevator and pressed her floor. The ride longer than he remembered but soon he found himself at her door where he only knocked twice before it swung open and she stood in front of him with a smile on her face.

"Hey baby!" She wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him while he tried to get his words together in his head.

"Where have you been? You know I've missed you." She confessed, batting her eyelashes as she looked up at him and rubbed her hands up and down his chest. Feeling the contours of his abs , she couldn't help but to bite her lip as she remembered the fun times they'd had.

"Yeah , Taylor look I... we can't do this anymore."

The effect of his comment was immediate as she jumped back from him. Almost as if he'd burned her , placing her hands on her hips Taylor pursed her lips at him.

"Excuse me? Come again?"

"Taylor look , this was fun but I love Laylani and this getting out may have really fucked that up and I don't want to lose her so this thing between us has to stop. It shouldn't have happened in the first place."

Silence reigned in the room for a few minutes before Taylor clapped her hands together and laughed.

"Are you deadass right now Lonzo Ball?"

"Yeah , do I sound like I'm joking with you?"

He stated sternly earning a crazy look as Taylor craned her neck at an angle and made up her face.

"Nigga I relocated my entire life to be with you and you want to go back to the bitch you told me was boring two months ago? What the fuck did you think I was going to say , okay cool?"

"Nah but I thought you knew your place. You didn't think I'd leave her for you did you?"

Stung by his tone , Taylor tried to mask the hurt coursing through her veins as she looked at him. His nonchalant expression , he never gave a fuck about her. She hated to admit it but Zoe was right.
