A U G U S T
Me and Payton was playing a game of 21 and she was winning by two points. Shorty had done crosses me up a couple times and I did the same. She was a beast on the court I swear. The whole time we was playing I would look over to see Ti mean mugging her. I wasn't gone say anything until we leave cause I didn't want no drama between the two.
"August" Ti walked on the court interrupted me and Payton game.
"Can you wait" I asked her as I ran and got the ball since Payton made it. The score was now 18-14.
"No it can't. Who is she?" She asked pointing at Payton. Payton stood there breathing hard with her hands on her hip.
"Payton why?" I asked her and she looked at Payton up and down.
"You didn't tell me she was coming" she kept pointing at Payton.
"Stop pointing your finger your mama ain't never teach you not to point fingers?" I said putting her hand down. She smacked her teeth.
"So she not gone do nothing" she shrugged as Payton stood with a confused look on her face.
"Man Ti gone with that messy shit we just playing ball" I told her and she shook her head no.
"Nawl I'm fennda go ask her" she said walking over to Payton.
"Excuse me" Ti said getting Payton attention.
"How may I help you?" Payton said and it looked her up and down once again.
"Who are you?" Ti asked pointing at Payton.
"Payton. Yo stop pointing them ugly ass nails at me and don't keep looking me up and down unless you trynna step big dawg" Payton said and I knew I needed to stop this right now.
"Excuse me can we finish our game?" I asked Payton and she nodded grabbing the ball.
"Excuse me whatever your name is can you move. I got money to get to and you inna way" Payton said and to nodded walking off the court.
"Alright lover boy what's the score?" She said as she swiped her shoes on the floor.
"18-14" I said and she nodded tossing the ball to me. I ran up the court spinning on her hitting a dunk.
"18-16" I said tossing the ball to her and she nodded. I guard her and she nodded her head to the left side of the court like somebody was there and I looked and she went around me shooting a three making it.
"GAME" she yelled as she punched fist to the air. She smirked at her.
"You cheated." I walked over to her.
"I didn't. Nobody told you to look" she shrugged walking over to her water and I poked my cheek to stop from smiling.
"Now can we talk?" Ti asked walking over to me as I stood on the court.
