Shaking my head, I finally got around to responding to all the different texts Bryn had sent in the last few minutes. Then I went upstairs and took a quick shower before heading to the Skyhawks training facility where I was greeted by Hunter who said, “Told you you ain’t have nothin’ to worry about, bruh.”
“You did,” I responded, dapping him up as I admitted, “And I needed that vote of confidence, so thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” he replied, grinning as he continued, “Though I’m sure kicking it with Kiki last night probably made the waiting game a little easier.”
Just the mention of Shakira made it hard for me not to smile, being completely honest when I told Hunter, “I ain’t even gone front, itdid… until it didn’t.”
“Aw damn,” he groaned, moving a little closer towards me to ask, “What happened?”
With a humorless chuckle, I answered, “Man, her damn dad showed up.”
Looking back on it now, it was wild how our seemingly perfect vibe had gotten ruined in what felt like the blink of an eye, the surprise visit throwing everything completely off in the moment and making Hunter’s eyebrows raise currently when he responded, “Word?”
After watching me nod to confirm, he followed up, “Did you talk to him?”
“Yeah, we were introduced, and then I got the fuck up outta there.”
“Like, instantly?” Hunter chuckled before asking, “What’d you tell Kiki?”
“Told her I had an early morning, which wasn’t a lie.”
“And you haven’t talked to her since?”
Shaking my head, I answered, “Nah, not yet. I will, though.”
Unfortunately, with the announcement of me being named the starter came a full morning of media, then a full afternoon of practice, and then even more media that left me with no daylight to actually follow through on that. But even with everything that was going on, I was still determined to not let the day pass by completely without getting in touch, shooting Shakira a text just before midnight that read,“You up?”
“Depends on why you’re asking…” - Shakira
Smirking, I tapped the screen a few times to initiate a FaceTime call, only for my mouth to go dry when Shakira answered the phone in bed wearing nothing but a bra that had her titties looking like they wanted to be my friends and a frown that I didn’t understand until she said, “You really hit me with a“You up?”text just to FaceTime me?Booooo, tomato.”
Chuckling, I asked, “What was I supposed to do?” the question making her purse her lips together like she didn’t want to actually say it. But I wasn’t letting her off the hook that easy, grinning as I pressed, “Nah, don’t get quiet now. You obviously had something else in mind, so speak on it.”
Of course, she still chose not to, responding with a smile instead before greeting me with a casual, “Hi, Kendall.”
“Hi, Shakira.”
“How are you?”
“I’m good, actually. You?”
“I’m great,” she sighed as she moved to lay on her side, the change in position somehow making her titties look even more delicious as she said, “It’s good to hear from you. Wasn’t sure if I would after the way you left last night.”
For as much as I had my own feelings about what had happened, I hadn’t really considered how Shakira might’ve felt about me leaving. But I suppose the fact that she’d picked up the phone was a good sign, though I was still sure to tell her, “Sorry if it felt a little abrupt.”
“You’re good,” she responded, yawning before she asked, “So… what was so important that you needed to Facetime me this late at night?”
“The timing actually wasn’t on purpose,” I admitted. “This was just the first free moment I’ve really had all day.”
“Why so busy?”
“They officially named me the starting quarterback this morning,” I shared, saying it out loud making me grin proudly while Shakira responded with a look of confusion that made sense once she asked, “Because you weren’t already?”
“Me and another guy were technically competing for the spot.”
It took a second for her to piece it all together. But eventually, Shakira’s confusion turned to understanding when she smiled and replied, “Well I guess that means I’ll have to start paying attention to Skyhawks games now, huh?”
Something about her phrasing made me chuckle as I asked, “Damn. So you ain’t fuck wit’ us before?”
