The Boy Next Door 2 | LaMelo Ball

|28|

I sit on my bed and I play with my fingers.

I hear my phone buzz next to me and I look at it.

Baby😍💕 you like my acting huh?

Baby😍💕 I can't text you that much tonight mamas, my dads watching me like a hawk.

I decide it's best not to answer that message.

I smile to myself.

The next day LaMelo is on a plane back to Lithuania.

I don't get to say goodbye because Lavar wouldn't let LaMelo come and say goodbye.

I take a shower and get ready for the rest of my day.

I look over at my dresser and I move a box to the side.

I see my plane ticket there and I realize that summer is going to begin soon.

I only have a few weeks in school left.

I've taken all of my finals.

After I walk the stage, I'm flying straight to Lithuania to start my summer.

_____

It's finally time to use this ticket.

I have officially received my high school diploma.

I packed my bags a few weeks ago and my mom is okay with me staying with LaMelo until he comes back home.

That's five months in Lithuania.

My mom filled my card with money and she gave me some spare cash.

"Remember sweetie, this money is only for things you need, don't go buying crazy shit!" My mom smiles at me.

I nod my head.

Once I get on the plane, I fall asleep.

I've got a long flight ahead of me.

_____

After the flight, I text LiAngleo.

He is supposed to be meeting me at a Starbucks in the airport, but I don't see him there.

I wanted to suprise LaMelo.

I hear someone clear their throat and I turn to see LiAngleo.

"Hey!" Gelo smiles at me.

He wraps me into a hug and I hug him back.

"Hi," I say.

"You ready?" He asked.

I nod my head yes.

LiAngleo grabs my bags and we walk together in the airport.

Once we reach LiAngleo's car, he unlocks it and he hands me the keys.

"You can start the car,"

Gelo walks to the trunk and places my bags in his trunk.

I sit in the car while he does.

I flip through the radio stations and I go to 99.1 KGGI.

I turn on the heater because it's cold as heck outside.

LiAngleo gets in the car and he drives to his temporary home.

Gelo parks the car and pops the trunk.

I start to grab my bags and Gelo looks me up and down.

"What are you doing?" He asked me grabbing the bags from me.

"Taking my bags into the house." I reply.

He hands me my small luggage and he takes the other onces.

"Thank you," I say.

Gelo replies with a simple mhm.

We walk to the front door and Gelo hands me the key to unlock the door.
