Dominique

Ting!

A notification on my phone woke me up from my slumber. It was a was a text my from my dad.

I replied with a simple ok and went to go read the note that was left for me. There was a folded piece of paper that said Dominique. I unfolded the note and a fifty dollar bill falls out.

It was probably for lunch,but I don't need that much. There was food here and if anything, a ten would have been fine.

Hey princess we had fun spending a full week with you,but your father and I have to start work at the new office. We left some money for you and the boys to go out to eat or something. You have to take ALL three of the boys, and I want you to send me a picture so I know you just didn't take the money. Have fun and be safe.

-Mom

P.S- Be nice to lamelo, he might be annoying but so are so you. I think you two would be great friends if you give him a chance.

"Ew as if" I said to myself after I read the post script my mother gave me. Technically I am starting to be nice to the boy, but I could do better.

For the first three days I wouldn't even acknowledge that he was there. Then I would call him out of his name,but that stopped when my mom told me all about how "he just wants to be my friend"

I gotten close to zo and gelo, while I barely started talking to Lamelo. I only talk to him because I'm forced to not because I really want to.

It was gonna be 11:30 so it was almost lunch time,and I know the guys are hungry from their morning workout. I decide to text gelo to see if they weren't busy.

I unlock the front door because I know it'll take me a little longer than ten minutes to get ready,and I don't want to come all the down to open the door.

I go to the bathroom so I can wash up. I was in the middle of combing my hair when I get a text from an unknown number.

Automatically I knew who it was and regret that I was actually inviting him to lunch.

I go into my room to change into some clothes. I put on grey fleece Nike shorts and I hear the boys walking inside.

"Hey loser we're here!" Zo yells out,followed by loud and heavy footsteps running up the stairs. I hurry to put on a sports bra before they came running in my room.

"Damn how long is it gonna take you to get dressed?" Gelo walks in first looking at how I wasn't ready yet.

"It takes me about ten minutes alone to just do my hair so shut up."

The three of them sit on my bed waiting for me to finish. I was looking through my closet for a shirt but I felt someone watching me.

"Stop staring at me Lamelo." I didn't even need to turn around to see who it was. "Hey it's not my fault you're looking sexy and shit." I look back to see him licking his lips.

I roll my eyes completely ignoring his comment,"Will one of you guys hand me my bright blue roshes?" I ask while I putting on a white Big Baller Brand shirt.

"Aye look at you becoming one of us."Gelo hands me my shoes pointing to my shirt. Since I was training with them basically everyday, they gave my a few shirts. This was all they wore, and I was slowly following the trend.

"Whatever let's go." I grab my keys and leave the room. "We're taking my car so let's go through the garage." The front door was locked before heading to where my car was.

"Damn girl I didn't know you were already whippin!" We hop inside the 2016 Honda Civic. "I barely started driving on my own."

I carefully back out trying not to hit anything."Yall give me direction because I don't know where I'm going."

Beside the excruciating long runs,I haven't really left the neighborhood."Just keep going down this street." Lonzo who sat shotgun directed me as he plugged his phone into the aux.

The ride consisted of rapping along to songs and hyping each other up when someone was killing a verse. "Where are we gonna eat at?"

The three boys simultaneously answer with"Chipotle." I pull into the small shopping center and park in front of the restaurant. They all got big ass burritos,while I got a simple bowl.

"Is this all together or separate?" The cashier asks as I finish putting my meal together."Together." I handed her the money my parents left me.

"Oh my god you guys are the ball brothers!"She takes notice of the idiots I call friends.

Except Lamelo

"Can I get a picture with you guys?"She was beyond excited at this point. They agree to a picture and I happily take it for them.

We get our food and sit down in a small booth."I can't believe I'm hanging out with the Famous Ball Brothers." I laugh sarcastically.

"Well you better because girls would kill to be in your shoes."

"Shut up Lamelo." I roll my eyes even though he was right. "Did you know who we were when you moved in?" Gelo raises his eyebrow at me.

"Of course I did. I was kinda excited honestly."I confess how I felt when I saw them for the first time."But this creep made things weird and that made me not want to talk to yall."I blame Lamelo.

"Hey besides me coming off a lil weird, I don't know why you don't like me."

He was a kinda on edge,and I've never really seen him like this. It was kinda...cute.I don't know just something about the way my comment got under his skin made me want to push his buttons.

"I like you what are you talking about?"

His took his attention away from his food and brought it to me."Really?" He was so happy with a big goofy grin.

"No I'm playing."I laugh along with zo and gelo."Whatever. I'm going to the restroom." An angry Lamelo excuses himself.

"Ok as much as it is funny," Zo recollects himself "You gotta give the boy a break."

I shrugged him off,"I'm not that mean to him."

"Girl yesterday he said hi and you slapped his pancakes out of his hands." Gelo laughs at the moment we had at breakfast.

"Ok I guess I could give him a chance."

"Yea you should because he was feeling you. I'm not too sure anymore." So tells me in all seriousness.

I was in total shock,"What you're lying."

"Lying about what?" Lamelo comes back interrupting our conversation."Don't trip." I dismiss him, zoning out into my own thoughts.

Lamelo was "feeling" me? I didn't see this coming, I still don't understand it. I'll be the first to admit that I've been nothing but a jerk to him. So how could he possibly see anything in me?
