Old Friends

We're Playing Basketball

Tia's POV
It's Wednesday evening I'm just finishing up at the boutique. It's now 5 p.m. I call Kay to let her know I'm headed home to shower and get ready for the game. She said she was getting ready as well. I made my way home and hopped in the shower. I had already picked out my outfit yesterday so I knew what I was putting on. I got out and got dressed. I didn't wear make up earlier today so I did my make up. I just did an everyday look so it wouldn't take me so long. It's 6:15 now and I call Kay to let her know I'm heading out in a few minutes to get her.  Once I get to her place I drive to the arena. It's only a few minutes after 7 now so we aren't late. Trevor had told me where to go to park and give my name. They instructed us where to go and where to get our passes. We were sitting court side and I don't know why I was so nervous. I thought to myself so this is what it would be like to be a baller's girlfriend.

There were a few people sitting court side who knew Kay. I whispered to Kay and asked her what was up with her and Klay and what happened to Danny. She laughed saying her and Klay have an understanding about what they are. I just said oh. Then she told me Danny is cool and that they hang out from time to time. I asked her if anything was serious with either one. She told me no not right now. Then I asked her if she wanted to be serious with either one. She said no not right now. Kay can be a mess. I honestly can't wait to see the day she settles down. I know Kay likes to have her fun but I think she should settle down and actually give a relationship another try. I think she's scared of being hurt. After her last boyfriend she really has trouble trusting and letting people in. If she doesn't give some guys a chance so she'll never know where the relationship can go.

The game is going on and I see Trevor on the court. He looks so good out there. I can't help but to imagine what this life would be like. Going out in public would be horrific. Then they'd figure out who I am which I would like to keep my personal life private. However, the publicity would be great for the boutique. I'm watching the game and Trevor is out there doing his thing. He's always been a great basketball player. Hey, that's why he made it to the NBA. They win the game which I was happy about. After the game Trevor told me where to wait. Kay and I were waiting and one of the players girlfriend's approached Kay saying hey. The girl asked Kay if we were coming to a little after party. I looked at Kay and sure enough Kay told the girl yeah, we'd be there. Once the girl left I hit Kay on the arm and asked her why she told that girl we were going. Kay looked at me and said girl, we are why would we not. Then she said Klay and Trevor are only going to ask us to go. I looked surprised and said oh, so Klay knows you're here and you already told him you'd be seeing him later. She just shrugged and said well yeah, I told him I was coming with you. I just say Kay, I have work and can't go out partying all night long. She just tells me to relax and that she's sure Trevor and I will end up leaving early. Sometimes I think Kay takes this as a joke. I'm not trying to leave with Trevor. I am not trying to start anything with Trevor.

Trevor and Klay walk out of the locker room together and come right over to us. Kay hugs Klay and they start walking. I just wave to Trevor and he laughs. He says oh, so you are going to act like you don't want to hug me. I just smile awkwardly trying to avoid any flirting. I side hug him but he keeps his arm around me. We walk out. He asks me to come out and celebrate. I say to this after party. He laughs and says yeah. I just say well Kay kind of already told some girl we'd be there. He just says oh okay and says to get in his car. I tell him I can't leave my car here. He says he'll have his security guard drive it and he'll just drive his car. I just say okay, but Kay came with me. He laughs and says yeah, Tia I know. Then he says she's fine with Klay. I just put my head down and say okay. He asks me why am I acting so shy. I just say I'm not and keep walking. He says I missed you and I'm so glad you came. That makes me blush but I try to hide it.

We get to Trevor's car and  I honestly know this is a bad idea. I'm not going to let anything happen. I can't do that again. Trevor looks over at me and asks am I ready. I just nod my head. He turns his music on and we head to some club. He puts his right hand on my thigh gripping it. I look at his hand then at him. He glances over and smirks at me. Then he says you look real sexy tonight. I don't know what is going on but my brain is telling me don't do this but my body wants to give in. I just say yeah. We get to the club and he puts some shades on. He holds my hand as we make our way inside to VIP. Klay and Kay are already seated and of course Kay has a drink in hand. I just shake my head. Trevor pulls me into his lap and whispers in my ear I want you. I just turn to look at him and I whisper in his ear this can't happen and I get off of his lap and just sit next to him. Trevor leans into me and whispers in my ear you still letting ole' boy ruin what we could have. I just say ole' boy is my boyfriend. He asks so what are you doing here with me. I don't say anything and he leans into me and sucks on my ear and then whispers and says I want you now. I don't make any subtle movements not wanting to draw too much attention. I just tell him I can't. A few players get a couple of bottles for our section. I have a drink or two. I can't go getting drunk I have work tomorrow.

I feel my phone buzz. I check it and it's a text from Chris asking how the game was and if I had fun. I text him back saying it was cool and that I was sitting court side. He responds saying oh that's wassup. Then he asks me if I'm home. I tell him no that I'm with Kay. He sends me the rolling eye emoji. I just tell him I'm not getting drunk and I don't plan on being out super late since I have work. He just says okay and that none of these players better touch or kiss me. I put the laughing emoji and say I am behaving. Chris says you better be. I tell him I'll text him once I'm home letting him know I made it safely. He just says okay and I love you. I respond saying love you too. Trevor leans over and asks who has me so occupied then he says oh, wait it's ole' boy. I just shake my head. Then I ask him why he keeps bringing it up and acting like I didn't tell him I wasn't breaking up with Chris. Trevor just says because you keep sleeping with me and pretending we don't have something. I just tell him it's not that I don't feel anything for him but I am in a relationship. Trevor just says you don't love him and you already cheated on him multiple times with me so you might as well end it. I just don't say anything. Kay is all boo'd up with Klay, dancing all on him. I don't know what kind of arrangement her and Klay have but I don't think I want to know.

It gets later and I tell Trevor I have to go because I have work tomorrow. He just says okay and that he'll take me to my car. I ask him where my car is and he says his security took it back to his house. I just think to myself oh great. This was probably all apart of his plan to sleep with me except this time I'm not going to fall into that trap. I just say okay. He grabs my hand and we leave. I don't know why he keeps grabbing my hand like I can't walk or something. We get in his car and drive to his house. He asks me if I want to spend the night. I just tell him I can't. He glances over at me and begs baby please. I just shake my head no and tell him I have work in the morning and I have a boyfriend. Trevor just says wow, you are really choosing him over me even after telling me you don't love him. Then he says this is what I mean. Always playing games and trying to play with my feelings. I just don't say anything. He says oh, now you don't have anything to say. We ride in silence. The only noise is his music. We make our way to his place. I get out and he does to and he tells me he has to get my keys. I say okay and wait for him. He grabs my keys and then he acts like he doesn't want to give them to me. I just say to him to give me my keys. He plays too much. He is trying to keep them from me and I'm trying to take them back from him. He ends up grabbing my arms and holding them away from his body. Then he puts them around his neck and picks me up and kisses me. I kiss him back but then tell him to put me down and that I really need to go because I have work. He just says okay. Then he asks if he can see me later after work. I shrug. He shakes his head. Then he walks over to my car and opens a closes my door for me. I say how sweet. He smiles then kisses me once more and says I love you. I just smile and begin to pull out of his driveway. He shakes his head then yells after me, you really not going to say it back. I keep on driving. He texts me saying oh wow, I see how it is.

I finally made it home. I quickly text Chris letting him know I'm home. I didn't think he was up but he is and he immediately responds and says okay I'm happy you made it back safely. Then he says he's tired and about to go to sleep. I send the laughing emoji and ask what was he waiting up for me. He says yeah, I wanted to make sure you were safe. I say aww how sweet. He puts the laughing emoji and says I love you and goodnight. I say I love you back and goodnight. I take my makeup off and decide to take another shower. I hop in the bed. I'm laying there thinking abut Trevor. I'm so happy I didn't do anything with him tonight. As much as it took to fight the urge I did it. I really wasn't trying to put myself in that situation again even though being around him was not helpful at all. All this thinking and I start to drift right asleep.
