"Yeah I don't have a problem with it." I shrugged.

"Aight, I don't mind." Ja stated "Is that all though? What else y'all want us doing?"

"You two will have to attend a lot of events together. Semaijah, We will need you at some of Ja's games and since you both are aware of how news reporters and interviewers operate, you should prepare a response in advance."

"Here's the contract." Christ first handed me one packet before handing Ja the other.

"Read that shit carefully ion want you doing something that you don't want to do." Raylan mumbled so only I could hear and I nodded.

Before signing the contract, I carefully studied it to make sure I understood everything. I ripped out one of the sheets out of the packet and retained it because I was allowed to keep it.

"So what's next?" Raylan asked.

"We need to schedule a date for you two. We are aware that Mr. Morant has a game tomorrow and tonight. Will you both be available Friday night?"

"I am." I replied.

"Are you available Friday night Mr. Morant?" Leonardo asked.

"Yeah ion got nothing planned that night."

"Okay, so your planned date will be on Friday night. You two will receive messages with all the details about the date by this afternoon. It was nice talking to you guys. We'll catch up with you soon."

As everyone shook hands and said farewell, I got up and pushed my chair in.

"It was nice meeting you." Ja smirked holding out his hand, He got jokes obviously.

"It was nice meeting you too, See you Friday." I shook his hand before releasing it.

"You ready to go?" Raylan asked me and I nodded. We left out of the office and when we got outside our driver was holding the door for us. I got inside the car first then Raylan "Leonardo got jokes."

"He literally does. I can't believe he really asked me if I knew Ja as if there's not a video of us kissing."

"Ima be real with you ion like the whole publicity stunt dating thing because they got you lying to yo supporters and everybody already but because it's putting more money in yo pockets and you don't have a problem with it, neither do I."

"You so supportive, Thank you. I have a question though and you have to answer."

"Wassup?"

"What's your problem with Marissa? Because every time she comes around you get irritated."

"I knew you was gon ask me that. She had something to do with my homeboy getting put in the hospital and ian like her since. It's been sixteen years but I still don't care. Ion know why she keep tryna talk to me like ion know what she did, Weird ass."

"Is your homeboy okay?"

"Yeah he good. You know Kendrell?" He asked and I nodded before my jaw dropped "Yup."

"I can't believe Marissa would do such thing. I'm glad Kendrell is okay."

"Man you and Ahmahdi be killing me when y'all say that such shit. Where y'all even get that from?" He questioned. Ahmahdi's father is Raylan.

"It makes me feel fancy and proper when I say that. Mahdi got that from me because you know I'm a trend setter, he won't tell you that though."

Raylan's phone started ringing and he held up his finger and took his phone out of his pocket.

"Hello?" He said answering the call. I simply tuned out him talking going on my phone.

I went on Instagram and looked through my notifications, one of which caught my eye.
