Love & Basketball [Book 1]

Chapter 3

Jacob Latimore POV

I released my single, Heartbreak Heard Around The World featurin' T-Pain, a while back. Now, I filmed a music video for it and my fans like it. Life is good since I was inna movie, featured in magazines, now I'm only focused on my music. Seems that I can never really take a break from tours 'cause I always gotta work. I gotta work hard or give up and go home and ion wanna do that.

I'm comin' back home to LA for some work out here since I'm pretty much all done with the tour. I don't really need to be up in the studio so I can pretty much have some chill time. Well I haven't seen my friends inna while so I gotta catch up with them. Sure they got some news up for me to kno' or parties I can go to. It's just so good to be back home.

I kno' the family miss me, and I miss them too. Man I can't wait to see their faces when I come through. The limo comes through and I go over and get inside while they put away my bags.  Home here I come. I been working too long and I'm ready to come back and chill.

I can use a break...

Cymphonique POV

I get back to the house and help Nicki wit' fixin' them plates since we went to Popeyes. Ion 'bout August, but I'ma kill these chicken legs 'cause he kno' me. I kno' that Nicki like 'em too so it's finna be war up in here like real soon. After this I hope August won't mind takin' me out fo' a lil' one on one game. It's been a minute since we last did anythin' together.

Ion maybe 'cause he too busy workin' or maybe 'cause I got older and he ion want he wanna do wit' me. From a lil' girl to a teenager its just this wall between us. Guess I just gotta make some friends here (I choose dyin').

I kno' August finna be workin' a whole lot, and I kno' damn well Nicki will be too so no point in that. Maybe this whole new school thing will work out great. If not, I'll just have to bite the bullet and deal wit' it head on.

August comes walkin' thru the door wit' Chris Brown... Oh, my fuckin' God I am truly a fan. Seein' him right inna livin' room has my hormones ragin'. My heart beatin' 'cause I wanna scream and jump up and down. Also, wit' me bitin' down on my lip all hard and then I look down. Just by doin' that it makes me wanna jump on his... Mmm he's so fine I swear.

"Cymphonique..." He calls my name a lil' louder.

"What?!" I say back to August.

"Get yo' ass over here Cee so you can meet Chris," he says and I run straight over there to him.

"Chris this my lil' cousin Cymphonique. Cymphonique, y'know Chris." August said.

Ooh, yes the hell I do.

He smiles and ion man I instanty feel this connection between us. I kno' he like me and I feel him. He want this. Like who wouldn't?  I have more curves than Karrueche and Rihanna. Then again... I'm waitin' on my basketball career to take off.

"Hi Cymphonique. " Chris said.

"Hey," I nod my head and grin.

"So um you ready to go to school?" He asks. I just nod my head and frown when he burst out laughin'.

"You ain't tell her huh?" Chris asks, lookin' at August.

"Tell me what?" I ask lookin' at August too.

"Ooh, ummm you finna be gon' to this private school that momma wants you to go to." August says.

"What's the catch?" I ask.

"Umm you ain't gonna like this, but you gonna be in school wit' them kids." August said.

"You mean them rich spoiled kids? Ooh, hell naw." I said to August and left.

Ion wanna be in there!!!!
