A Hooper's Dream

                    Imani's POV

"Hey guys! I feel like I haven't been on live in forever" I said as I sat my phone up on the coffee table

I watched as the comments poured in

"I'm gonna put the question sticker up so you guys can ask some..we haven't talked in a while" I giggled as I added the sticker to my live

:Where's Melo?:

"He's at practice; he's got a game tomorrow at 7:30. It's a hornets vs bulls game"

It just dawned on me at that moment that I'd be seeing Zo and ally tomorrow night

Don't know why it never crossed my mind until now

:are you and Melo really getting married?:

"Yassssss! We never officially announced it but check out the bling; y'all know my baby don't play" I smiled as I posed with my ring

:did you see that Gelo has a new girlfriend?:

I pretended not to see that question because I didn't wanna say anything to offend his new girlfriend since I knew she was already on her toes about E

:what's the worst thing about dating Melo?:

"His inability to try new foods" I laughed

:who's the loudest ball brother?:

"Definitely lafrance" I laughed

Melo: "wifey?!" He yelled as he walked in the house

"See?" I laughed as I looked at the camera

Melo: "mani?!"

"In the living room!" I yelled as I looked into the hallway

Melo: "Hey, beautiful..you look good!" He smiled as he walked into the living room and kissed my forehead

"Thank you"I smiled

Melo: "you smell good to! What you got on?" He said as he leaned down again

"The cherry perfume you got me"

He just smirked

"Before you wild out..I'm on live" I laughed I pointed to the camera

Melo sucked his teeth and laughed before picking up my phone and sitting down next to me

Melo: "let me tell y'all something about imani" he laughed

I just stared at him cause I knew he was about to say the wildest shit possible

Melo: "go listen to kevan gates's song called me too...that's all I gotta say" he laughed before ending my live

I bust out laughing

Melo: "I got some news for you"

"Zo's coming to town tomorrow?"

Melo: "yeah but that's not-"

"You decided what you want for dinner?"

Melo: "Still No" he chuckled

"I give up" I said as he laid his head in my lap

Melo: "I bought us a house" he said as I played In his hair

"Wait what?"

Melo: "it's right by my parent's house" he said as he handed me his phone

As soon as I grabbed the phone a text popped up from an unsaved number saying "so you're just gonna block me?"

I was tempted to click it but that's not what I was given the phone for

I scrolled through pictures of the house which was really nice...until another text popped up from the same number

"Uh Melo?"

Melo: "you don't like the house?" He asked as I handed him the phone back

"Oh no..I like the place I just keep getting distracted by messages popping up"

Melo: "what they say?" He asked as he went to his messages

He never bothered to move so I had a clear view of his phone

Melo: "who the fuck is this?" He asked as he clicked the message

"Somebody you blocked" I said as I tried to refrain from laughing

Melo: "I block 3 people a day.."

"It's somebody you know personally"

Melo sucked his teeth and responded asking who the person was

I shook my head and turned my attention to the TV

Melo: "this bitch" I heard him mumble

I looked back down at his phone and he was blocking the number

Melo: "I think I'm gonna have to cash in that favor"

"What favor?" I laughed

Melo: "the one where you said you'd beat a bitch ass for me"

I bust out laughing because he was dead serious

"Who was it?"

Melo: "remember Courtney?"

"Ally's sister?"

Melo: "yeah her stupid ass"

"What did she do?"

Melo: "when you posted the picture of your ring she DM'd me talking crazy so I told her ass to worry about her fucking self and blocked her"

"Didn't you fuck with her at some point?"

Melo: "no it was a normal friendship until the media made it into something it wasn't..once she started getting ideas I stopped talking to her"

"Damn. Well maybe she jealous"

Melo: "I don't give a fuck how she feels about nothing I got goin on. Don't talk crazy about my fiancé" he said as he sucked his teeth

I just played in his hair

How'd I get so lucky?

"Just ignore her"

Melo: "that's what I was doing which is why she was blocked"

I just laughed and shook my head

Melo: "I should call ally and tell her to get her dog under control"

"Speaking of ally...the game is tonight"

Melo: "I know..."

"Nervous?"

Melo: "yeah a little" he said as he looked up at me

"You're gonna do great like you always do; don't stress it" I said as I leaned down and kissed his forehead

Melo: "what if I fuck my ankle up again?"

"Then you rest again until it's better"

I heard him sigh

All I could do was hold him close and hope that he gained some confidence before the game
