Problems Solved.

3 Point Contest.

        There's no way I could beat Stephen, especially when he already had a warm up. I won't back out now. I just hopefully won't lose that badly.

"Let's go, Kaylee!" Javale cheers me on. I look over to see Klay and Andre talking to each other.

"3, 2, 1. Go!" Andre screams, making me throw the ball in to the air. I make the first one. I quickly grab another ball and pull up again. I make it. Holy shit. I'm doing really good! I don't pay attention to Stephen, because I just want to focus on my shot. Klay and I would always shoot around in his back yard, maybe that paid off. "Times up!" I take a breath, realizing I'm becoming out of shape.

  "Who won?" Steph asks, making me go over and give him a high five.

"Dude, Kaylee won." Did I hear that correctly?

"My girl just kicked your ass." Klay declares, walking towards us.

"Holy shit. I won!" The realization actually hits me. "Good job, Stephen." I say, turning around to hug him, to show my good sportsmanship.

"Damn Kaylee, you got skills." Andre then runs up to me. Here we go.

"Bitch you never told me you could ball like this. I would've played you in a one and one a long time ago." I laugh, as he is still shook that I beat a two time MVP.

"Kaylee, I might need to add you to the roster." Steve jokes, as almost the whole team agrees.

"If she can kick Stephen's ass, she can beat almost anyone." Kevin declares, mostly talking to Steve. Everyone gets a laugh out of that.

"Maybe I'll just take Klay's spot my last name is Thompson." I joke, but I look at Klay and he really took that one to heart. I guess this is the first time since he asked me that I've said that I'm his wife/fìance.

"Aww you guys are just so adorable." Iggy butts in, ruing the moment Klay and I was having. "Now come on guys it's time to eat." I laugh, and follow Andre as he drags me into his kitchen. "I made sure I got your favorite things to eat."

"Aw best friend, your the best!" I declare, grabbing a plate. I pile a bunch of food on my plate, not fully sure on what I wanted to eat. I go back outside and find a seat by the pool to sit at.

     "Damn girl, you better eat all that." Iggy says, sitting next to me. I shake my head,

"You know I can eat." I state, making him nod his head. "I haven't seen you around Christina since we've arrived."

"We got into a fight." Andre comes out with, and I sigh.

"You wanna talk about it?" I ask cautiously, trying not to ruin the mood of the party. I see Klay making his way towards us but I shake my head at him and mouth, "I'll talk to you about it later." He nods his head and turns around.

"She says that she thinks I'm cheating on her because I'm always so busy. Christina knows that the basketball life is hard. I've been doing all the  fundraisers and sponorships with the golf companies that want me to do commercials for them. Am I doing to much?" I hear in his voice he's really hurting from this.

"Andre, I do feel like coming from a girls perspective that maybe you should take a week off this summer or maybe longer and go on a vacation. Leave the kids behind I can watch them and just take sometimes for yourselves." I tell him, as I rub his shoulder. "Coming from your perspective she did sign up for this life."

"This is why your my best friend. Thank you, Kaylee." I smile, and lean in for a side hug.

"Anytime." I reply with. I finish up my food and get up to find Klay. I've honestly been ignoring him this whole time. I find him talking to Steph and Steve in the living room.

 
     "Hey, babe." I say, wrapping my arms around his back. He turns around and wraps his arms around me.

"Hey." He whispers back at me. I join into their conversation, as of course their talking about basketball. I close my eyes and just listen to them talk.

       It's now around nine o'clock and I'm tired as fuck. Andre started up a fire and the families who decided to stay are sitting around it. My head is on Klay's chest and his arms wrapped around me. The heat of the fire felt nice and with Klay around me the feels was just amazing.

"Anyone have some stories to tell?" Andre asks, making me smile at how kiddish he can be.

"I beat Stephen at a 3 point contest today." I say, making everyone laugh.

"At least someone put him in his place." Javale comes back with, and I nod my head in agreement. It quiets down again.

"Andre, I think Klay and I are gonna get going. Thanks for the food and everything." I hug Andre and and say goodbye to everyone else. I grab Klay's hand as we walk through Iggy's house to get to our car.

      "Tonight was fun." I state, as we reach the car. Klay opens the door for me and I slide in. Klay comes around to the drivers side and enters.

"The best part was when you kicked Steph's ass. I'm glad I didn't have to go against you. I would never hear the end of it." Klay jokes, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Damn. I wish I would've gone against you now." I remark, making Klay shake his head.

"What was wrong with Andre today?" He asks, changing the subject. I look down at my hands wondering if I should tell him or not. Andre wouldn't care right? He knows in relationships you need to be truthful.

"Christina and him got into a fight." I tell him, and he sighs.

"Was it about how he doesn't spend enough time with them?" He asks, and I look over at him surprised.

"Exactly."
