Basketball was in her blood, but LaMelo Ball made her want to set the whole damn court on fire.
Theresa Young doesn't play games. She runs things quietly from the sidelines, calling shots behind the camera while the league watches her brother light up the court. Her situationship with Jalen Johnson? Chill. Uncomplicated. Safe.
But when Charlotte's finest shows up with that cocky grin and too much swagger for one man, everything changes.
LaMelo Ball is all attitude and bad timing. He gets under her skin-then under her guard. What starts as petty jabs and passive glances turns into something hotter, heavier, harder to ignore.
Now Jalen's noticing. LaMelo's circling. And Theresa's stuck between the boy who never claimed her and the one who might just ruin her carefully built peace.
The pressure's building. The season's heating up. And some fouls don't get called until it's too late.
