Wolfbrace Gym"How you like them chest nuts boy." I said hanging from the basketball rim.
Jevon and I played a few one v one games of basketball, then some with Jada too. Jada cheats sometimes because she has a nice ass on her, and uses it to her advantage. One of her biggest assets. I'm so lame for even saying that.
"Fuck you. How the hell you 6'3, and can dunk like you rookie MVP Derrick Rose mixed with Westbrook, and young Vince Carter." Jevon said getting off the ground.
"Cause' I'm the sugar honey ice tea baby. Get with the program." We got an audience for a few people who wants to play a pick up game. A 3 v 3 game. We started up the game, and I decided to take my shirt off because I'm overly hot.
Even though I could probably gone pro or to the NBA because I highly doubt the WNBA would let me in considering I have a dick. I love basketball, but I didn't think I was any good. So pickup games with randoms and sometimes people who can actually hoop is fine by me.
"Iso. Iso." I called. Everybody cleared my way while I put this grown ass man on his backside. Sauced him up bit breaking his ankles while hitting a step back 3.
A bunch of oo's came from people watching. Since we playing a full court game, we all played with some seriousness to it. I get competitive when it comes sports I like. The guy got up mad as hell because of what I did, and tried to get me back when his team had the ball. Easily, knocking the ball out of his hand, I pushed the pace doing a cocked back tomahawk dunk.
"Damn she got bounce." I heard somebody say.
"15 to 9." Another person yelled the score.
We played one more game before we headed to the locker rooms that's in the gym. I headed to the female locker room with Jada before I grabbed my stuff. I pulled out my blue towel from my bag, baby blue stripped Ralph Lauren boxers, and a black nike sports bra. Jada tossed me my bottle of Dove soap before I took a quick shower here.
I started to hear more women voices in the locker room, and more people in general. Washing my hair and body twice, I turned the shower off, drying off, and slipping on everything I brought with me. Since I've started coming here regularly, I cool with the women that is in here. I told them about my condition, and they were okay with it once I explained why. Most didn't care, but there is always that few that doesn't like it one bit.
Walking out of the shower area, I went over the locker that has my things in. I blocked out my surroundings like I used to do in junior high aka middle, and high school, putting on some deorterant, and rubbing some shea butter on my skin. I put on some new white socks, then just put back on my gray sweat pants, and a new white t-shirt.
"What are you doing after here?" Jada asked me.
"Well Cheyenne wants to take me to this place she goes to for lunch. I'm going to ride out how long she can keep this act up or something. Truthfully, I just seeing if my feels are the same as they were before." I said putting my dirty clothes, and other items into my bag. We both walked out while Jevon waited on us. "In a way sadly, I want to catch her in the act. Even though you all, my family, and her mom all have a feeling she is cheating, I want to really know for myself. Then again, I could save myself from a terrible heartbreak and just divorce now, but I need to see for myself."
It may be a dumb idea or they way that I want t do things, but I need to know. Every sign of cheating is there, and here I am being to dumb to listen. I don't want to jump to conclusions about her because that could easily back fire on me. Jevon dropped me off back at my apartment complex where Cheyenne and I live at. Hopefully, my dad does have a room ready for me whenever I get my proof. I refuse to go through her phone because I can't put myself to go through it. She can easily delete the conversation, and make it seem like nothing happened.
Walking up the steps, and towards our door, I unlocked it being greeted by Church.
"Hey baby boy." I picked him up. He purred in my arms as he tries to put our foreheads together. "I love you too buddy."
I walked in setting my bag by the door. I'm going to have to wash clothes in a little while. I sat down on the couch as I heard Cheyenne talking on the phone.
"Maddy I know babe...Just listen okay. I know I said I wouldn't but... it's just this one time I promise... are the paper there...okay relax baby, I will make it up to you." I heard her say.
Woooowww. No, no, so far I had a good day, and I'm not going to let this ruin anything.
"I'm home babe." I yelled announcing my presences. She quickly got of the phone, and came out the bedroom still with my shirt on. Cheyenne came over, and sat directly on my lap. Church started to hiss at her, but I started to scratch under his chin to calm him down.
"How was your work out?" she asked me.
"It was good. Played basketball with Jevon, Jada and few other people for a while." I bit my tongue trying not to be emotional with then phone call she just had.
"That's good, ready to go to the place I was talking about earlier." She said. I just nodded my head, while she got up to put some clothes on.
