Words can never say what I feel
It's too intense
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh)
I tried I tried I tried I tried
To tell you how I feel
But I get mixed up (so mixed up)
My mind is blind at times
I can't see anyone but you
Those other girls don't matter
No, they can't spoil my view
I must make you understand
I wanna be your man
Roger 'I Wanna Be Your Man'
Chapter 4 I Wanna Be Your Man
"Bro you and Olivia really aren't going to the homecoming dance together?" Harrison disbelievingly asks Fitz as they walked out of their school's weight room. The boys have been conditioning for the past three weeks, with their basketball season officially starting in two weeks, they want to be ready. Fitz cannot wait until the season starts. He hates that the attention is all on the football players right now, especially that clown Jake Ballard. It'll soon fade in two weeks, and Fitz will bask in the attention once it is all back on him.
"Nah I'm taking Lana. You really thought I was joking?" Everyone assumed Fitz and Olivia were going to the homecoming dance together. Just like everyone assumes that they are dating.
Truth be told, Fitz wanted to go to the homecoming dance with Olivia, but she was the one who suggested that they don't go together. Her reason being she doesn't want to further propel the rumors that has been circulating around their school, started by none other than Jalisa, which was no surprise to Fitz or Olivia. Jalisa has been going around the school telling people that Olivia is her replacement and is receiving her sloppy seconds. Jalisa even went as far as to say that Olivia slept with Fitz the first day she met him. Since the rumors was made known to Olivia, she has been trying to do everything in her power to dispel them. She makes it clear to everyone that she and Fitz are just friends. She has even distance herself from Fitz in school which he hates. Fitz wishes Olivia didn't let things get to her as much as she does, but there are some things you just can't change about a person.
In his head, he doesn't see the big deal of the two of them going together, after all they are neighbors and best friends. But he respects Olivia wishes. That's not to say that it isn't seriously bothering him that she is taking Jake. Fitz is jealous, he can admit that, to himself of course. He won't dare let those words come out of his mouth. Biting his tongue on how he feels about her going to the homecoming dance with Jake, has been eating at his conscious ever since she told him. He can't wait for this dance to be over with, so he can have his best friend back. She's been spending all of her free time with Jake.
Fitz on the other hand is taking Lana, the point guard from the girls' basketball team to the homecoming dance. They've flirted with each other in the past, so it wasn't weird asking her. Not to mention she's hot and the only non-lesbian on her team.
"I heard Lana is a freak." Harrison says suggestively.
"Yeah man I heard that too." Fitz laughs. Lana has a reputation that she isn't ashamed of claiming. Fitz respects her for owning up to her shit instead of walking around as if it doesn't stink.
"Liv is really cool with you going with someone else?"
Fitz looks over at Harrison with a raised brow. "She's the one that suggested that we go to the dance separately." He states.
"You two are weird. When are ya'll going to quit the games and get together?"
"Honestly Harry I am not even looking at Liv in that way anymore." Fitz lies.
"Whatever. I see the way you look at her. The way you two look at each other. It is obvious ya'll are feeling each other. So, what the fuck is stopping you two?" That was the million-dollar question that everyone wants to know.
"We're just cool man. I don't know why everyone is trying to push us onto each other. I like being her friend. I like our friendship. It's cool having a chick as just your friend. Someone you can just kick it with no strings attached. Bro we do almost everything together. I can talk to her about almost anything and most importantly she gets me." Fitz never thought he could have a friend let alone a best friend of the opposite sex and it actually work. Does he want to ruin their friendship by getting into a romantic relationship with her? Fitz isn't so sure.
"I hear you bro." Harrison wanted to say more, Fitz knew it. He is just glad Harrison left it at 'I hear you bro', Fitz is tired of explaining his friendship with Olivia to people. As long as they understand what they have that's all that matters.
Walking into the school parking lot which is adjacent to the football field, Fitz bitterly watched Olivia and Jake frolic around the field like they were really a couple. In the past week, they have become too close for comfort. Fitz doesn't like it. No like isn't a strong enough word, he hates it. Fitz feelings are conflicted. On the one hand, he doesn't want to ruin his friendship with Olivia, on the other hand, he is ready to risk it all. Fitz feels like he can balance the two. He can handle love and basketball. He won't make the mistake of knocking Olivia up and marrying her so young, like his parents. He knows they can work as a couple. She is everything he wants in a girlfriend. He is scared though, scared that they won't work, and he'll end up not only losing her, but their friendship as well. He cherishes their friendship more than anything, and he isn't willing to lose that.
Olivia notices Fitz glaring at her and Jake, and she makes her way over to him.
"Hey Big Head. Hey Harrison." Olivia greets Fitz with the nick name she gave him.
"What's up Liv. I'm gonna catch ya'll later I gotta go see my girl." Harrison says giving Fitz a handshake and Olivia a hug.
"Tell her to call me." Olivia says and Harrison nods.
"What's up Giggles." Fitz finally greets Olivia.
"Are you all set for the homecoming dance tomorrow?" She asks.
"Yeah, are you?" Jake caught Fitz's eyes as he was making his way over to them. Why the fuck is he coming over here, Fitz thinks.
"Yeah, you wanna see my dress?" She was oblivious to Jake approaching them.
"Surprise me." Fitz leans against his car just as Jake walked up on them.
"Hey Liv, I'm about to get out of here, you still need a ride?" He asks with his eyes trained on her. Olivia's car is in the shop right now.
"Nah she's good." Fitz speaks up daring Jake to question him.
"Yeah, I'm okay Jake, talk to you later." Olivia replies hopping into the passenger seat of Fitz's Beamer.
Jake walks away defeated. Fitz smirks and gets into the driver seat of his car.
"What's your beef with Jake?" Olivia asks Fitz as he starts up his car.
"We just never clicked. Kinda how you and Jalisa never clicked, same thing with me and him He's a fucking weirdo Liv." Fitz answers pulling out of his parking spot.
"What is Lana wearing to the dance?" The question caught him off guard. This is the first time Olivia has asked him anything about Lana since she found out he was taking her.
"I don't know she won't let me see her dress. All I know is she's wearing silver or metallic it's part of the silver family. Why?" He briefly glances over at her.
"Just asking. What are ya'll doing afterwards?" She was prying and he found it cute. He didn't miss the jealous undertone either. He isn't the only jealous one in this friendship. She just masks hers better.
"I don't know. Lana is a freak though, so I can only imagine." Fitz said that last part to get a rise out of Olivia.
"Typical Fitzgerald." Olivia sarcastically laughs. He got the rise he wanted. She was bothered, she only calls him by his first name when she is mad.
"I didn't know you cared so much what I do with my penis." Fitz looks over at her.
"I don't." She feebly responds.
"What are you and that clown doing afterwards?" Fitz is hoping she doesn't say the wrong thing, mainly because he is afraid of his own reaction.
"I don't know. Jake is a freak though, so I can only imagine." She mocks him laughing.
"Real fucking cute Liv, are you hungry?" He needed to change the subject before he said something he'd regret.
"Yes starved." She exaggerates.
"What ole boy didn't you feed you?" Fitz scoffs as he glances at her.
"Shut up!" Olivia playfully hit his shoulder.
"You hit like a girl."
"I am a girl."
"Really, sometimes I forget." He jokes.
"You know what pull over and let me out now."
"You know I will."
"You wouldn't."
"I know."
They ended up going to Jack in the Box. He always admired Olivia's un-shameful appetite. She eats like a grown ass man and doesn't gain the slightest pound. Plus, she isn't afraid to eat in front of him. They ordered their food to go, and decided to eat in Olivia's house. Fitz didn't want to be bothered with his parents. The arguing is at an all-time high and the house is just too damn depressing and stressing.
"Hey Daddy." Olivia greets her father who was sitting on the couch.
"Hey Princess."
"Hey Mr. Pope." Fitz greets Olivia's father next.
"Hey son. When do your season start?" Oliver asks shutting off the TV.
"Two weeks."
"Are you ready?"
"Of course."
"Can't wait to see you on that court."
"I won't disappoint."
"Any idea where you're committing to?"
"Not yet."
"Well I know you'll make the best decision for you, good luck son."
"Thanks sir."
While they ate their Jack in the Box, Olivia tried over and over again to show Fitz her homecoming dress. He stuck to his guns and told her he wanted to be surprised. They watched a few movies and Fitz ended up spending the night. She allowed him to sleep in her bed with her which is a rarity that he takes advantage of. Her bed isn't quite as big as his, but it's comfortable, and he gets to watch her sleep while lying next to her.
"Liv let me ask you something." They both were lying on their backs listening to the radio.
"What's up?" Olivia sleepily asks turning to face him.
"You ever thought about us being more than friends?" He knows it was a foolish question to asks, he just wants to hear her answer. They haven't mentioned their feelings for one another since the day they confessed to liking each other, but decided to be friends instead.
"Yeah. I meant what I said when I told you that I like you those feelings didn't just go away. But I really value our friendship and I don't wanna mess that up. I am scared that if we fail as a couple, we'll lose our friendship as well. Our friendship is something I don't wanna lose Fitz." He finds it freaky how much they think alike.
"I feel the exact same way."
"Great minds think alike."
"They do. Good night Liv."
"Good night Big Head."
Olivia curls up next to him and lies her head on his chest. Olivia fell asleep immediately, Fitz on the other hand was wide awake. His mind and heart is in a game of tug of war, and he doesn't know which one is going to come out as the victor.
XXXXXXX
"Mom you don't think this dress is too much?" Olivia tentatively asks looking herself over in her full-length mirror. She felt under dressed.
The theme for homecoming was 'Old Hollywood', and Olivia did not want to wear a gown. She'll save that for prom. Instead, she opted for a midthigh black sequin dress that had silver gems cascading down the sheer illusion neckline creating a brilliant necklace effect, continuing onto the shoulder blades to frame the sexy open back. Her silver studded Stuart Weitzman open toe heels matched perfectly with the dress, and the diamond studs her mother let her borrow completed the look. Olivia wanted a bold look for her makeup, so she did a smoky eye, false lashes, and red lips. She had her stylist pin her extensions up into a chignon with a side swoop bang. She felt like a 1920s Hollywood movie star.
"Are you kidding, you look ravishing darling." Nina exaggerates imitating a drag queen's voice.
"Thanks mom." Olivia smiles.
Hearing their doorbell ring, Nina leaves Olivia's bedroom. Grabbing her clutch, Olivia turns off her bedroom light, and leaves her bedroom. Fitz left a while ago, so Olivia didn't even bother looking into his bedroom window before she left. She figured he went over to Lana's place to take pictures. As bad as she didn't want to admit it, Olivia is upset with herself for letting her mind outweigh her heart. She wanted to go to this dance with Fitz, that's what she felt in her heart, it was her mind that was telling her otherwise. Those rumors Jalisa spread though they were false, they still hurt Olivia feelings. The whispers, the side eyes, the giggles played on Olivia's psyche so much, that she told Fitz they should go to the dance with other people. Now she regrets it. She should have listened to him when he told her not to let those rumors get to her. She can't even begin to stomach what the hell him and Lana will be doing tonight. Olivia meant what she said to Fitz the other night, her feelings haven't gone away, they've actually grown stronger in the past two months. She's trying to be his friend, but she wants more.
"Wow you look amazing Liv." Jake compliments. Olivia was so far gone in her head that she didn't even realize she was now standing in the living room.
"Thanks Jake, you clean up well." Olivia extends the compliment. Jake was dressed in a simple black tuxedo with a bow tie. His hair was trimmed and those hazel eyes were sparkling.
Olivia walks over to Jake and he hands her the single red rose he had in his hand that she somehow missed.
"Thank you." Olivia sniffs the rose loving the fresh smell of it.
"Let me get a picture of you two. You both look so nice." Nina smiles holding up her camera. She waited for them to get in a pose before taking the picture.
Jake placed his hand around the small of Olivia's back and they smiled for the camera. Nina took three pictures of them together, and then she took a few pictures of Olivia alone.
"Ready to go?" Jake asks looking down at Olivia.
"Yes."
The ride over to their school was spent with Olivia and Jake jamming out to the radio. She did most of the singing, while he just bobbed his head to the songs. Had she been with Fitz they would have been trying to out sing one another.
Walking into the gymnasium with Jake, Olivia admired the décor. The theme 'Old Hollywood' was executed and mirrored perfectly. As she expected almost every girl was dressed in a gown. Again, it's homecoming not prom, their reasons for wearing gowns for such a miniscule event compared to prom baffled Olivia. She can only wonder how prom is going to be.
The music that was currently playing was sounded like R&B and pop mashed up. It was way too fast for Olivia's liking. God I hope the DJ is just warming up, Olivia thinks to herself.
"Let me take your jacket." Jake slides Olivia's jacket off her shoulder.
"Thank you." Jake nods and walks to the makeshift coat check their gym teacher Mr. Hanes was overseeing.
While he was busy doing that, Olivia looked around for Makayla, Harrison, and most importantly Fitz. She didn't see neither one of them in sight. It was dark in the gym and people were scattered everywhere.
"Excuse me…are you new here?" Olivia hears someone say from behind her. The music was too loud for her to make out who the voice belonged to.
Turning around so she could place a voice with a face, Olivia knees instantly became weak upon laying eyes on Fitz. He wasn't wearing a suit. Olivia should have known. Fitz doesn't like fitting in. He loves to stand out. He loves the attention to be on him and only him. Instead of wearing a suit like every other guy in here, he was wearing a crisp white long sleeved dressed shirt, black suspenders, black slacks, and a pair of black shoes. His hair was gelled back, except that errant curl that never wants to cooperate with the rest of his hair. He looked like a 1920s gangster, and this look was turning Olivia on. Lord, please be with me, Olivia thinks.
"Well look at you." Olivia said what they both were thinking.
Their eyes lingered on one another as they took each other in. His muscles were bulging through his shirt and his blue eyes were blazing through the dimness of the gymnasium.
"Liv – "
"There you are." Lana interrupts looping her arm around Fitz's.
Lana is an amazon compared to Olivia who felt like an Oompa Loompa. Even with her four inch heels on, Lana still towered over Olivia. Why is every girl at the school tall, Olivia thinks to herself? Lana looked stunning. She looked like a Barbie well an athletic Barbie. She was wearing a metallic dress similar in length to Olivia's, with a pair of four inch stilettos adding to her height. Her gorgeous blonde tresses were swept to the right side of his face cascading into Shirley Temple curls. Her makeup was flirty and her red lips made her fair skin pop. She looked completely different. Gone was the tomboy, she now looked like a seductress.
"You look nice Olivia." Lana compliments in a flat tone as if she was being forced to say it.
"Thanks." Olivia didn't bother extending the compliment.
Fitz wanted to say something, but for some reason he was biting his tongue. Jake suddenly walked up and things became even more awkward. Fitz glared at him and his eyes went from blue to grey in a matter of seconds.
"Liv, you wanna dance?" He asks ignoring Lana and Fitz.
"Sure." Olivia grabbed Jake's hand and allowed him to take her to the dance floor. She didn't even look back at Fitz. She can bet her last dollar he was shooting daggers their way.
Olivia and Jake danced to a few songs before Olivia became parched. Her throat felt like sandpaper. While she went off to get some punch, Jake went to go talk to his teammates. Their big homecoming game is tomorrow.
"I can't believe you came with that clown." Fitz sneers walking up on Olivia.
"Who was I supposed to come with myself?" Olivia takes a sip of her punch.
"You could've came with me." Fitz sarcastically answers.
"You know why we couldn't come together." Olivia reminds him.
"Yeah over some bullshit rumors." He didn't see the big deal, and that's fine, but she did.
"Bullshit…people were looking at me like I am some type of whore." Olivia spat.
"Fuck them." Fitz spat back.
"Whatever Fitz," Olivia walks away from him.
She was heading to the bathroom when she bumped into Makayla and Harrison. They reeked of alcohol.
"Ew you guys stink." Olivia pinches her nose.
"We do," they both slur simultaneously.
"Yeah, Kay come with me. Harry, you need to go find Fitz and get yourself together." Olivia grabbed Makayla's hand and led her to the bathroom.
"You look beautiful Liv," Makayla mumbles.
Olivia ignored her. Once they were in the bathroom she went into her clutch and pulled out a tiny bottle of perfume. She spritzed it all over Makayla trying to hide the alcohol smell that was permeating through her pours.
"Here eat these." Olivia hands Makayla a handful of mints.
"Thanks babe." Makayla pops the mints into her mouth.
"Kay, you need to slow down on the drinking." Olivia has picked up on Makayla's excessive drinking habit. She drinks like a fish.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Let's get back out there I wanna dance." Makayla drunkenly began dancing around the bathroom.
Olivia laughed at her antics. "Okay I have to pee first."
As the girls were leaving out of the restroom, Jalisa and her crew were coming in. They all were dressed in sparkly gowns. Had Jalisa not been such a bitch to Olivia she would have complimented her. She looked gorgeous, a bit much for homecoming, but nonetheless gorgeous.
"Hey Lisa, oh wait I forgot we aren't friends anymore right?" Makayla goofily laughs.
"Whatever Kay, you're so fucking fake. I don't even know why I ever became your friend in the first place." Jalisa scoffs.
"Oh, I think we know why. What you thought becoming her friend was going to get you closer to Fitz?" Olivia jumps in defending Makayla.
"Bitch who was even talking to you? I didn't need to become her friend to get closer to Fitz." Jalisa spat.
Olivia laughs, "you could've fooled me."
"Have your little fun with him now Olivia. Because trust me if I wanted Fitz to be with me he would be with me." Is she serious right now, Olivia thinks to herself.
"So why is he here with Lana? Why do you keep blowing up his phone? Why did you make a scene in front of his house embarrassing yourself? Why are you so threatened by me that you had to spread those rumors? I mean you two have been hooking up since what freshmen year and you're still not together, that must suck. Especially since he confessed his feelings to me two days within us knowing each other." Olivia had to humble Jalisa. She talks too much shit and needs to be knocked down off her high horse.
"I don't have time for this shit." Jalisa rolled her eyes and headed into the bathroom with her crew.
"I know I am drunk, but she told your ass Lisa." Makayla laughs.
"C'mon girl."
"There you are." Jake says walking up to Olivia and Makayla as they walked back into the gym.
"Hey, I had to use the restroom." Olivia explains.
"Liv I'm gonna go find my man. Hey Jake." Makayla dryly greets him as she walks off. For whatever reason that Olivia doesn't care about, they don't get along either.
"They're about to announce homecoming king and queen." Jake pulls Olivia towards the front of the gym where the stage was. She looked around for Fitz and saw him off to the side with Lana and a few of his teammates. Makayla and Harrison was by the punch probably spiking it. Olivia giggled, those two are really alcoholics.
"Alright, alright, alright," the DJ stops the music, "we're about to announce this year's homecoming king and queen."
The crowd began clapping including Olivia and Jake. Mr. Forrest the school's principle walked onto the stage and grabbed the mic from the DJ.
"Are you guys having a good time?" He roars into the mic.
"Yeaaahhhh!" The entire gymnasium replied simultaneously.
"Fitz is gonna win shock value." Jake whispers into Olivia's ear in a cynical tone.
"Jake, stop it." Olivia warns nudging him.
"Great. So, this year's homecoming king is not surprising, this young man has been winning the title since freshmen year. He doesn't need an introduction at all. Without further due, ladies and gents give it up for your homecoming king Fitzgerald Grant III." Mr. Forrest announced and the gymnasium went bananas. Girls were screaming and cheering like Fitz was some type of celebrity. He soaked it all in too, smiling and waving like he was Prince Charles himself. Olivia shook her head at his antics. She can't get over how handsome he looked. The spotlight that was on him only made his handsomeness pop out even more. That same tingling sensation she felt between her legs when he kissed her was back. She's trying to look at him like a best friend, but she's finding it harder and harder. She wants Fitz, she wants him to be her man, and she wants to be his girl. Damn just being his best friend, she wants to both, his girlfriend and his best friend.
Mr. Forrest placed the cheap crown onto Fitz's head and Fitz smiled for the camera.
"Congratulations Fitzgerald you make us all so proud." Mr. Forrest proudly said.
Fitz scanned the crowd until his eyes landed on Olivia. She winked at him, and he flashed that million-dollar smile that makes her and every other girl weak.
"And now on to our homecoming queen. This young lady is the epitome of school spirit. She is on almost every committee, and she devotes so much of her leisure time to this school, that we are heavily considering giving her a job after college." Everyone in the gym laughed. "But in all seriousness, this young lady is exceptional, and is deserving of this honor. Without further due, please give a round of applause for your homecoming queen Jessica Wright." The applause wasn't nearly as thunderous as it was for Fitz.
Watching the two of them awkwardly dance, Olivia knew this is the closest these two probably have ever gotten to one another. Aside from Makayla, Jessica have to be the only other girl in their school that doesn't fan girl over Fitz.
"Alright now, this is the last song. It's a throwback. None of you all were born yet, but I am sure some of you were conceived to this. This song was requested by your homecoming king and I must say the young fella have quite the taste. So, fellas grab your girl, and ladies grab your guys, and get on this dance floor." The DJ said into the mic and when the song began to croon through the speakers Olivia lost it.
'I Want To Be Your Man' by Roger is one of Olivia's favorite songs and Fitz knows it. Her parents played this song so much when she was a little girl, that by the age of three she knew every word.
"Can I have this dance beautiful?" Jake smoothly asks holding his hand out.
"Of course," Olivia smiles taking his hand.
Hey lady
Let me tell you why I
I can't live my life without you
(Ooooh baby)
Every time I see you walkin' by I cannot think
You don't notice me, but in time you will
I must make you understand
Jake wrapped his arms around Olivia's waist with his hands resting on the small of her back right before her ass.
(I wanna be your man)
I wanna be your man
(I wanna be your man)
Yes I do yeah yeah
(I wanna be your man)
I wanna be your man
(I wanna be your man)
Wanna be your man
Olivia placed her arms around his neck and they swayed the smooth beat. Lying her head on his chest, she temporarily forgot about Fitz, until she picked her head up and saw Fitz and Lana in her direct line of vision. Lana's back was to Oliva, and watching Fitz with his hands on Lana's ass, Olivia couldn't pull herself to look him in his eyes. She was envious, his hands should be on her ass. She laid her head back on Jake's chest and they continued to sway to the beat.
Better not pass me by
'Cause if you do you'll lose a good thing (oh, baby)
'Cause what I've got to say
Is sealed with a kiss and a wedding ring (wedding ring)
Like a moth to a flame, Olivia lifted her head once again and looked over at Fitz and Lana. This time their eyes locked in an intense gaze. His blue orbs seemed as if they were staring right through to her soul. They were burning a hole into her body, and he refused to look away, which prevented her from looking away. They were in a stare down and it was a matter of who was going to look away first.
My mind is blind, at times I can't see anyone but you
Those other girls don't matter, no, they can't spoil my view
I must make you understand
He was singing the lyrics with his eyes. It felt like it was just the two of them in the gym. Olivia had to grip Jake a little tighter. Fitz stare was becoming too much. He had her hypnotize, she couldn't look away if she tried. His body was there with Lana, his mind was with Olivia. What is he doing this to me, Olivia thinks?
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
I want to be your man (yes, I do, baby)
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
Olivia couldn't take it anymore. The lyrics were really speaking to her now, and her emotions were getting the best of her. She wants to be in his arms. She wants his hands on her ass. She wants him to be her man. He friend-zoned her though, and she isn't going to beg him to be with her. She just wants him to see that he can handle both. He can handle love and basketball. She knows he is scared, she's scared too. She doesn't want to lose their friendship if they were to break up, but she's willing to risk it if it means becoming his girlfriend. Tearing her eyes from his gaze, she placed her head back on Jake's chest and that's where it remained for the rest of the song. She couldn't look at him anymore.
Words can never say what I feel
It's too intense oh oh oh
I tried, I tired, I tried, I tried to tell you how I feel
But I get mixed up (So mixed up)
My mind is blind, at times I can't see anyone but you
Those other girls don't matter, no, they can't spoil my view
I must make you understand
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
I want to be your man (yes, I do, baby)
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
When she lifted her head and looked over where Lana and Fitz were, they were gone. Olivia sighed sadly and left the dance with Jake. He waste no time, Olivia shakes her head.
"Where do you wanna go?" Jake asks sliding behind the driver's seat of his Benz.
"Anywhere but home." Fitz parents are out of town. She is sure he took Lana back home with him, and she doesn't want to be in her bedroom, knowing that he is across the lawn doing God knows what.
"Okay."
When Jake pulled into the driveway of his parent's home, Olivia knew exactly what he had in his mind. Feeling her cell phone vibrate in her clutch, Olivia pulled it out and looked at the screen. Fitz was calling her.
Don't kill me for ending it there babes! I told you all this story is inspired by Love and Basketball, and the spring dance scene in that movie has to be one of my favorite parts. I hope I did it some justice, even with me adding my own twist. Leave your thoughts…until next time babes!
