Two Years later... Kahleah "Liz, make sure that you set that on ball screen good so Kah can really work off of it. I need the two man game all night and the defense. That 1-2 punch should keep LA on they toes all night. Alright come on," Coach said as we all gathered. "Together on me, 1-2-3, together!" Practice was over so we all headed to the hotel to shower. "Y'all tryna go get lunch?" Izzy said as I shrugged. "That sound good to me. Candace you coming?" I asked as she looked up from her phone and shook her head. "Nah I gotta go surprise lay at school, sorry y'all," she said as I waved her off. "Go surprise your baby, don't worry bout us," I said as she hugged us before heading out. I changed into a more reasonable outfit, before brushing my hair and smiling.

"Damn I look good. Izzy you ready?" I called out to my friend who was laid out on the bed. "Yeah I was waiting on you goof. Come on, we can go to this hibachi place," she knew where we were going so she called up the Uber and within twenty minutes we were seated in some restaurant. The food was definitely top tier, a solid ten out of ten. "Damn I haven't had food that good in a minute," I said as we were on the last game of our four away game stretch. Isabelle nodding agreeing as I held the door open for her. I walked out after her and I immediately bumped into someone. "Oh shit I'm so- y/n?" I said as she looked up and a smile immediately fell over my face. "Oh my gosh. How have you been?" I asked as she looked me up and down before making eye contact with Isabelle. "Hey Kah, I'm kind of in a rush, I have a business meeting," she said before walking past me and into the restaurant. I stood there stunned. That actually really hurt me. "Kah? Kah, you good bro?" I snapped out of my thoughts as Isabelle snapped her fingers in my face. "Who was that?" She asked as I sighed. "My gir- my ex-girlfriend," I corrected myself as she gasped. "Oh damn. She's really pretty," she said as I nodded already knowing . Y/n was more than pretty, she was the finest person walking this damn earth. "Yeah. Well what else you got up for today?" I asked as we waited for our Uber. "Not a damn thing, probably go take me a nap, and watch some Netflix," she said as I nodded, not really paying attention. "You miss her don't you?" She said as I sighed. "How far is the Uber?" I asked a over question. She gave me a small smiling before pointing. "That's him right there I think," she said as I nodded following her. We went back to the hotel and I decided to go back to my room Alone. My phone buzzed and I saw I had a call from my sister. "Hello?" "Where you at?" She asked getting right to the point. I laughed cause that had been her our whole lives. "My hotel, why?" I asked as she cleared her throat. "I just had a meeting with a potential client in LA and you'll never guess who it was," she said as I froze. There's no way in hell. "Letia, please tell me your joking right now," I said rubbing my temples. "No. Your ex girlfriend is a model? How did I not already know this Kah?" I sighed getting irritated. "Tia I'm really not in the mood to talk right now," I said as she laughed nervously. "Oh well I guess now would be a good time to tell you I gave her my ticket for tonight's game. She said she wanted to see you play in person," she said as there was as knock at my door. "Tia I swear to. Why would you do that?" I said as she laughed. "Cause I liked her and you need to make it up to her for how you disappeared on her," she said as I rolled my eyes going to the door. "We broke up, I'm not finna be up her ass," I said as I opened it and froze in my spot. "Hey," she said in her baby soft voice as I just stood there. "H-how?" I mumbled as Tia spoke on the other end. "Imma call you back Kah, this is Kaari's school," she said before hanging up. I licked my lips nodding before pulling the phone from my ear. "What's up?" was all i could get out. "What's up Kah? What happened?" She asked as her voice started to crack. I leaned on the doorframe really not wanting to have this conversation out here. "Can you come in so we can talk?" I said as she nodded, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "That's all you?" I asked as she smiled a bit nodding. "Okay period inches," I said laughing a bit. I sat on the couch, allowing her to sit on the bed and sighed. "So, what happened?" She asked again. I cleared my throat before speaking up. "I mean shit. I had to move on and distance myself so I could be me and do me with out constantly thinking of you. Ion mean to sound that harsh but shit it is what it is y/n/n," I said as she raised her eyebrow nodding. She took her purse off her shoulder and unzipped her jacket leaving her in her cropped long sleeve. "So why you never said that then Kahleah? You just fucking disappeared knowing you were all I really had besides India and it really feel like you just said fuck me and disappeared. I gave you so many chances to just say that shit. I texted you for like three days worried and whole time you were just ignoring me. That hurt my feelings worst than you breaking up with me," she said as I sat up looking at her in her eyes. "Listen y/n. I promise that was never the way I intended to make you feel. I genuinely just needed to get myself together. I'm sorry and I really do mean that because I never wanted that," I said as she nodded looking up. "Oh y/n no. Come here," I ask standing up. She shook her head as I pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry boo. Seriously," I mumbled into her hair as I hugged her tightly. She sniffled trying to wipe her face. "Ugh! I said I was done crying over you," she said pouting. I looked down at her face and I really could my help myself. I kissed her pouty lips, as she gasped before reciprocating it. We pulled apart and she cleared her throat. "I'm sorry if I overstepped a boundary. I gotta go down and get ready for warmups but can we talk for real after the game?" I asked as she nodded. "Yeah that's cool. Good luck," she spoke as I smiled. "Thanks y/n/n," we both walked out the room shortly after, her going to get food and me going to shoot around . ————————— "Alright I'll catch y'all later on," I said as I walked out the arena. We won the game against the Sparks and now we had three hours before we had to meet up to head home. I waited for a few minutes before I felt someone tap my shoulder. "Hey, you ready?" She asked as I nodded following her to her car. We drove to her place where she was going to cook. "I'm making spaghetti, that's cool with you?" She asked as we walked in. I nodded, still staring at her ass as she walked in front of me. "Yeah you know I'll eat whatever you cook," I said before laughing a bit. While watching her cook we talked everything through, and came to a better understanding of what happened. Honestly it was my fault for not communicating. She passed me a plate and I smiled as she smell hit my nostrils. "Bro I could fucking kiss you right now y/n/n. This shit smell so good," I said as she laughed sitting next to me. "So, how's life been?" She asked as we ate. I sighed and shrugged. "It's cool I guess. I just even focused on work for real. What about you miss supermodel?" I asked as I gestured towards her photos she had hanging.

"Not too much Ms. Olympic gold medalist," she said as I nodded flexing a little bit, making her laugh. "But no it's been cool. Once I got into my little groove I just been going and traveling," she said as I nodded finishing the last bit of my spaghetti. "Damn big hungry," she said as I laughed waving her off. "I just played my ass off. I was starving girl," I said as she stood up. "You want some more ba-Kah," she said slipping up but I caught it. I smiled and nodded. "Yes please," she grabbed my plate and piled more of the pasta before walking it over to me. Before she could walk away I stood up, wrapping my arms around her. "I'm so sorry for everything y/n/n. I really missed you and I'm so damn proud of you baby girl," I said as she relaxed into my arms. "I missed you too Kahleah," she said as we pulled apart some. I looked down at her and I coudknt help myself. I leaned in to kiss her, but she pulled away shaking her head. "I'm sorry I can't," she said moving out of my grasp. I sighed nodding. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable," I said as she shook her head. "It's not you Kah, it's me. I can't do this and we end up in the same predicament. I love you too much, and I won't set us up to ignore each other for another two years," she said as I nodded. "You stay in LA right?" I asked as she nodded. "Yeah," she said as I smiled. "Im moving here next season. And I have a five year contract," I said as she smiled. "What I never thought you'd leave Chi-Kah-go. That's huge, I'm proud of you Kah," she told me as I nodded. "So maybe we can try this thing one more time?" I asked as she nodded. "Yeah maybe we can," she smiled across the table.
