COACH {COMPLETED}

6

Monday 6:41 PM.
Sidney Daniels

"Nigga what?!" Von said about to walk up to him when I tried to push him back.

"Since when you start likin Sidney? I been on that," Tre said.

"The deal was that you could have somethin like money or my watch nigga! Not my girl! She ain't a fuckin object!" Von yelled.

"Stop, he's not serious," I said.

"Oh I'm so serious. I won and that's what I want so com'ere."

Von moved me out the way before punching Tre. Von got on top of him and started to punch him when me and the other guy I had learned went by Darius started to try and break up the fight.

We got him off of Tre before Tre stumbled off the ground.

"Damn. The pussy make you act that crazy?" Tre said before Von launched a rock at his throat.

"Let's just go," I said before he looked at me.

We started walking back quietly.

"Are you Okay?" I asked.

"Should be asking him if he's okay. He's the one who's face is fucked up."

"You don't really want me to do that but okay. I'll take that as a yes," I said.

He tsk under his breath causing me to look at him.

"What?" I said.

"Nothin," He said.

"Don't fuckin do that."

"What am I doin?" He asked as if he didn't know.

"You're trying to get an attitude with me as if I'm the one to fuckin blame-"

"I never said that-"

"But you're acting like it," I said.

He didn't say anything causing me to shake my head and walk away.

"You know you were so cute until you did that. You just had to ruin it," I said.

"I'm sorry. I ain't mean to come at you wit no attitude. I'm just still pissed off."

"Maybe you aren't ready for this," I said causing him to scrunch up his face.

"What you mean?"

"This whole thing kind of happened over night. You don't ever worry that we're going to fast?" I asked.

"Do you?" He asked.

"I don't know.."

"You don't- wow Ni. You dead ass right now?"

"What?"

"I just beat that nigga ass for you and you tryna break up wit me?"

"I never said that-"

"Not yet!" He yelled causing me to look at him.

"Ni?" He said as my eyes started to water and my face started to scrunch up.

"No baby don't cry. I ain't mean to raise my voice," he said bring me into his arms.

"I'm sorry," I said pulling away from him to wipe my eyes.

"For what? You ain't do nothin wrong," he said furrowing his eyebrows.

"I didn't mean to cry."

"Nobody ever means to cry, Ni," he said as if what I said sounded ridiculous.

"Listen Aii, how long have we known each other?" He asked me.

"I don't know... whenever I moved next door," I replied.

"Okay and how old were you?"

"Like 6 why are you asking me this?" I said getting confused at the point he was trying to make.

"I've known you since you were 6 you really think this entire thing formed over night? Baby whether we realized it or not we had already been feelin each other we just acted upon those feelins recently. You ain't no over night fling to me," he said as I looked at him.

I brought his face down to mine before kissing him passionately. He slid his tongue in deepening the kiss as he wrapped his arms around my waist. He gripped my ass as I moaned into his mouth before I remembered where we were.

The rest of the week went by like a breeze. We hadn't seen Tre at school so that made it easier and everyday after school we would practice. Alli was still mad and I guess Dansia chose her over me which is fine. Just goes to show who she really cared for. When Saturday came along Von woke me up like he usually does and we practiced till 2.

"You tired already?" He said.

"Nigga we been out here since 5 in the fuckin morning. Yes I'm tired!"

"You been thinkin bout what you gon wear to homecoming?" He asked as he dribbled the ball in front of me.

"Nah, have you?"

"Yeah... I just don't know what shoes I want," he replied causing me to feel slightly bad.

Even though he doesn't show it that much he was excited for homecoming. I never really cared for it because I never had a date to go with but this year is different I guess.

"What colors you want to wear?" I asked.

"Red and black preferably," he replied causing me to chuckle.

"Okay... that means I have to find a red dress. I'm sure I probably have one somewhere in my closet," I said as I got up.

"In your closet?" He said as he ceased dribbling to look at me like I was crazy.

"Baby this isn't prom I don't need a whole new dress to go to homecoming."

"This is what we're not gonna do. This whole humble act where you feel like you don't need new shit all of a sudden," he said causing me to look at him.

"What do you want me to do? I don't have a job right now-"

"Don't worry bout that. I'll take care of the expenses," he said causing me to furrow my eyebrows.

"With what money?"

"Now you tryna call me broke?" He chuckled.

"No but Von... where do you work?" I asked.

"Why do you ask so many questions? Don't worry bout it baby. I got you, just pick it out," he said causing me to look at him for a bit before agreeing.

From the way he was responding I knew immediately what he was doing to get his money. There's so much wrong with it which I'm sure he's fully aware of. That talk just wasn't meant for that time but when I look back I do wish I would've said something. Maybe if I did the future for us would've been different.
