Melo has be so distant lately but it because he's worried about the state championships. They were in two weeks and he and his team have been working so hard to get here. The girls didnt make it with there record but I know for sure that next year im going to lead my girls to a championship, facts.

I get out of lonzo's car and walk into the ball house. I called lonzo to come pick me up since I knew LiAngelo, LaMelo, and Eli will be doing some sort of work out. I immediately walked straight to the backyard to find the boys who live here - Eli, Melo, Gelo- plus Don, Quan, Will, O and nick but they weren't there. I walked to the garage to see all of them shirtless sweaty and looking hella fine. Lavar was yelling at them, the usual.

"Stop drooling." Lonzo said going to start on his work out. I had never seen some of these boys shirtless but I so wasn't complaining. I know yall think Melo would get mad but he actually doesn't care. He just says I can look but I can't touch. Im the same with him, we could be walking in the mall and he'd say some girl was cute and we'd have a full on conversation about how pretty a girl is. But I never hear about the same girl twice so I don't worry. I trust him until he gives me a reason not to.

They boys were doing what I call round about so two people are at two people are at each station doing a specific thing for a specific amount of time and then go to the next station.

"You here to help me work these boys out?" Lavar asked.

"Hell yeah."

I was still surprised at some of these boys bodies to be honest. I never thought these boys would have as much muscle as they do. I knew gelo and Eli of course had some nice bodies, I mean look at there arms. They look like they just want to rip out of there shirts.

"Hey baby." A huffing Melo said. He gabbed his water bottle. Melo is skinny but he has some abs and his back muscles are starting to show more and more as he continues working out. I mean we have to realize he is suppose to be a freshman and is still not that developed but my babies getting there, wait on it.

Actually don't wait on it cause ion want y'all looking at my nigga.

" We gonna one more set of these 5 stations then we finna do our hills." Lavar said earring a groans from the boys. " You all lost y'all last game you wanna lose state too?"

"No." They chorused and finished there break in silence. I snapped a quick picture of Melo laying in his perfect grass glistening in the sun. He look tired of course but I like that he is dedicated to something.

They all got up walking to the weights and Lavar started the timer for the tired boys to start. I kept my eyes on Melo as his arms flexed when he was doing his curls with the dumbbells. Gelo was his partner and they were pushing each other as the competed to see who could get the most in the one minute they had left.

"Hills." Mr. Ball said. " If you weren't hurt you'd be doing this too."

"ha okay mr. ball." I said crutching. He know I have my own trainer he wants me to get in the gym with him but I decline every time.

"Set go." Lavar said blowing the whistle for the boys to start. They sprinted as fast as they could up the hill to work on acceleration. They walked back down getting ready for there scored rep. They have to do two sets of 10 hills.

"Are you actually trying to kill them?" I said laughing so he knows it was a joke.

"Yes." He saids straight faced before he cracked me a smile. Yes, he talks a lot of non sense but I know his loves his boys. I sometimes don't agree with the things he says but at the end of the day he can say whatever he wants. Zo, Melo and Gelo are the ones playing not him.

"Good."

"I think I'm dying." Daijon said complaining after his 7th one.

"Me too." Melo agreed. "My legs are telling me to stop."

Everyone chuckled at Melo's way of describing his exhaustion. After there first set was over they had a five minute break and we all sat under a tree. Melo laying on my left thigh and gelo laying on my other one.

"What going on in yo head kay kay?" Lonzo asked

"I low key miss the feeling of working hard and getting tried. I don't miss the feeling of throwing up after laps but I just miss doing sports. It's hard watching everyone do there thing and feel like you're being left behind while everyone gets better. I want to get better with everyone else." I said explained my feeling to the three ball boys.

"We know you miss it. We have all had injuries before not as bad as yours but we've had to sit out for 3 and 4 months at a time because of bad breaks and torn muscles. Acually Melo's buck teeth ass hasn't but you get my vibe." Gelo said. Melo was so tired he wasn't even stressing his older brother like he usually would. He gave gelo a short shut up before speaking up.

"Best believe we gone help you get better when you get cleared play in 5 months. I know it may seem like a long time but you my baby and I aint gonna leave you hanging. And don't feel like you is getting left behind cause you not. You got better abs than gelo." Melo said lighting up the mood.

"why you know what LiAngelo's abs look like you gay ass nigga." nick said trying to get on Melos head.

"We live in the same house and he obviously walk around sometimes with out a shirt. How you feel nigga?" Melo said slapping his head.

"Ahhhh he feel stupid." Lonzo said being the instigator he is .

"To be honest." Eli said. "You dumb nigga. You so annoying bro."

I knew Eli didnt really rock with nick like that cause something went down but I aint know he was petty. Eli and Gelo usually just talk amongst themselves when either of them speak out its low key weird.

"Since you boys are talking so much you must not be that tired. On the hill!" Lavar said. I was thankful he interrupted before a argument broke out.

They did there last few set and I followed the sore boys as we walked back to the ball residence.

"We out." will said grabbing his keys and walking out the door with nick in tow. Quan and Daij said they was coming back after a shower and some food. O just stayed since he has clothes here, being Melo's best friend and all.

Melo, Gelo took there showers in the upstairs bathroom as Zo took one in there parents bathroom and O took one in the guest bathroom downstairs.

"Bro my whole life is sore." Zo said falling not the upstairs living room floor.

"You can say that mess again." Gelo said sitting on the recliner chair. "I feel like my muscles are slowly ripping apart."

"I know how it feels to be sore but that was over dramatic gelo." I said laughing.

"I know." He said laughing.

"Melo wait till you hair dry to lay on me." I said as he came out the bathroom. He nodded going into his room before coming out and shaking his head back and forth like a dog.

"Im sleepy too." Eli said. "And hungry."

"Same." I said. They were all groaning and complaining like little babies making me laugh at them.

"Lets go to my room." Melo said helping me up.

"No nasty stuff." Eli mumbled making me blush a little.

"Cant promise you anything Brodie." Melo said winking at me.

We both sat on the bed watching a movie.

"Can you gave me a massage?" He asked looking back at me. He was laying on his stomach with his head at he foot the bed as I was leaning against the head bored.

"Yeah." I simply said.

I got on his back sitting on his butt with my hurt leg slightly bent and my other folded in front of me.

I changed the movie to happy feet before I started.

"We've watched this movie 3 times this month baby girl." he groaned out. I don't know if its for pain, the pleasure of the massage or from the movie. Im going with the second one though.

"And I care because?" I said rolling my eyes even if he couldn't see me.

"Dont roll you're eyes at me one." he said.

"How you know I rolled my eyes at you?" I said surprised.

"You've been my girlfriend for the 8 months and 5 days I know you by now." He said.

I continued giving him a back massage and watching my favorite movie. After about half an hour Melo abruptly flipped on his back with his head propped on pillow.

"Uh you want to me to massage your stomach?" I asked as his slipped his hands under my shirt and drew tiny circles on my lower back.

"No stupid. I wanted to say that I'm sorry for being a little off. I know were haven't really talked talked the past few days but I love you baby and I dont want you thinking I'm hiding something." He said truthfully.

"Oh I know you been working on getting right for state and all I aint stressing it but I love you too and its okay. I want you to win too so you can get a jacket and I can steal it." I said. "I'm trying to start a collection."

"Wow." he siad kissing me. This innocent kiss turned into a little more. We were using tongue and he was biting my lip sexily. He flipped me on my back giving me little kissed on my collar bone and in the crook of my neck. I put a pillow over my mouth so the boys out side would hear my moaning.

We've never been this far and we both know were not going to go fast this but it fills hella good. He trails he kissed back up to my lips and we continue our forceful kissing until we hear ...

"Aye what I told y'all bout doing nasty stufff!"
