"Great job Winslow! Keep up the good work!" One of the trainers encouraged Justise as he finished the last dribbling drill. Sweat dropped down his temple and fell silently onto the hardwood court.
"Time!" He finally heard the whistle ten seconds later. Justise picked up his equipment and joined his teammates as they huddled together.
"Alright, I'm glad to see everyone came in to get extra training. What that shows me is that y'all are committed. Now in order to make the playoffs, we need to stay committed and stay focused on playing our game. Tomorrow we will have another optional training. I hope to see y'all there. Let's break out" Coach Spoelstra said. They all gathered into the circle at half court and put their hands together in the air.
"1,2,3 Committed!" They all yelled.
Justise decided to get some extra shots up and perfect his craft for 30 more minutes. After, he went into the locker room and took a quick shower before sliding on some basketball joggers and a shirt. He was surprised when he picked up his phone to find 6 missed FaceTime calls from his best friend.
FatAsh🐿: ANSWER ME HEAUX
Justise laughed as he picked up his gym bag and things before heading out the building to his car. He called Ashley and she picked up on the second ring.
"Finally negro. You wouldn't believe this shit" she quickly answered.
"Hello to you too. What's going on?"
"Tell me how I followed this nigga on some Taken type shit and guess who driveway he pull up in?"
"Not Taken. From the calls Ima guess another hoe's house?" Justise laughed.
"Not just some hoe but Kelsey's snake ass. And then I got out the car and caused a whole damn scene. This bitch gonna stick up for her 'nigga'. And they've been fucking since my fucking birthday" Ashley said.
"Damn, that nigga is dirty but Kelsey a bitch ass for that. You okay best friend?"
"Yeah, I mean I'm in the angry mode right now so after that I left but used his IG to find his car at Walmart and break his damn windshield and stab his front two tires. Unanimous of course. I have given his clothes away that he left over my house and I'm bout to find something else to damage"
"Damn. Lemme come over and calm you down before you murder this nigga"
"I won't, just don't be surprised if you get a call from me in jail. Like he really tried fucking with me. I'm the one who has helped pay his rent, I'm the one that bought him his PS5 and he treated me like shit. Both of their dumb asses laughed in my face, I felt so embarrassed and less than" Ashley's voice cracked and Justise heard it before a few sniffles on her end.
"You're not less than Ash. You just love people so hard, sometimes people don't know how to handle all of it. All this proves is that he is not the one for you and that Kelsey is a snake. Don't look at it as it's because of you, think of it as them being bitch asses and cowards"
"Yeah but I thought he was the one, he was supposed to be my husband and be the father of my kids. And I had them around each other all the time and now I'm the one looking stupid and single. I am getting old, Justise. I'm not an NBA player, I can't just find me a good man who's willing to love me intensely and be committed to us for the rest of his life" Ashley cried. Justise sighed, he didn't like hearing his best friend cry.
"Ashley, don't sound like that. You'll find you a good man, trust me. If you don't there's no hope for the rest of the world. You're literally the whole package: a woman of God, fashionable, funny, driven, nurturing, independent, and even maybe cute as hell" Justise encouraged her.
"Mmm, this is so hard. Especially since it's like I go through the 5 stages of death each breakup. I'm tired of it. Maybe I should go lesbian. Girls are way more emotional and smarter than guys" she calmed down.
"Aye hit me up if you do. I'm tryna see sum"
"Okay pervert"
"So I'm coming over and you're cooking your burgers right?" Justise asked.
"....sure negro. Even though I'm the heartbroken one"
"Yeah but we move sis. We do not stick on dog ass niggas and snake ass bitches"
"Whatever, when you coming over?" She said, still sounding angry.
"I'm on my way now and I don't want to hear no types of attitude when I get there"
"You ain't my dad fool. Now bye" Ashley said and hung up abruptly.
Even though he get on her nerves half the time, Ashley appreciates him always having her back and lifting her up when she was down. And, trust, there were a lot of those through college and trying to get her career started.
