"she kissed you again ??" kp asked again.

"yes & then she put me on the counter and gave me a hickey" i sighed.

"dang jack." a'ja said.

"ikk and when i pushed her off it was basically too late. ts is gonna break her heart guys. and i never meant for ts to happen" i said putting my face in my hands.

"okay well maybe if you talk to her about she won't be to mad. but you have to tell her before she find out on her own" kp said.

"right just be honest with her. you just gotta set boundaries with kb" a'ja said.

"that's the thing, i already told her it was too late and that im in a happy relationship. but it's like if we can't be in a romantic relationship then she don't want it at all".

"and i luh kb and she know that. we been through so much together i don't wanna lose her bro. like that's really my dawg she understands me and vv bro" i said.

"we understand but if you wanna keep nalyssa you gotta lay down the law and quick" kp said.

"and make sure you tell nalyssa as soon as yall alone" a'ja added.

"i am. im just scared of how she gone react. bcus this girl has been through h*ll & back and i don't wanna make that worse cus she's doing so good with healing and stuff".

"and i really don't wanna lose her cus ik how lyss get about her feelings" i said.

i felt my phone vibrate and i saw that it was nalyssa making the inside of my body jump.

"im gonna head home tho, i gotta talk to nalyssa cus ts is driving me insane" i said as we stood up.

"okay good luck and text/call us and let us know what happened. or we could come get you and go for drinks" a'ja said making me giggle.

"i might need one after this" i said laughing. i said goodbye and headed home. i feel like nalyssa is gonna flip out.

once i got home i saw her at the island eating a fruit bowl and watching tiktok. aww she's so cute.

"hey mama" she smiled kissing my cheek.

"hey" i mumbled.

"what's wrong ?? did i do something. i'm sorry" she said all in one.

"no it's not you baby you didn't do anything" i said quickly.

"i have to tell you something but promise me you won't leave" i said.

"ohh-kay" she said confusingly.

"so yk how i went and talked to kb yesterday ?" i asked and she nodded.

"mhm" nalyssa responded.

"so we talked & it actually went well.. but then she kissed me" i said making her stare at me.

i nervously waited for her reaction or for her to say something.

"baby say something" i said.

"and what ??" she asked.

"she put me on the counter and gave me a hickey" i said and she got up making sigh.

"im so sorry mama. ik how bad that sounds but i was so in shock i didn't know wth to do. but then yk i pushed her off and i told her i couldn't cus i wanna be with you".

"you let her give you a hickey jackie" nalyssa said raising her voice. oh lord here we go.

"this is her second time bro".

"yes and last. i let her know that it's to late and that im with you."

"ts shouldn't have happened and im sorry but i swear i told her im happy with you & you only."

"did you like it jackie ??" she asked making me shake my head.

"awesome that's all i needed to know" she said grabbing her phone and keys.

"where are you going ?? please don't leave im sorry" i said as tears rolled down my face.

"man i need time to think" she said.

"baby no stop" i said grabbing her arm. i stood in front of the door making her stare at me.

"jack what do you want me to do ?? kb is ruining our relationship" lyssa said.

"ik, but i don't know what else to do bcus she just don't care. im sorry okay i didn't mean to hurt you all of this is so stressful" i said exhaling.

"yeah" she mumbled.

"please don't leave mama. we can talk to kb together if it makes you feel better. it might help if she hear from you cus she's not listening to me" i said.

"okay, let's do it" she said and i nodded. i hugged her tightly leveling out my breathing.

"i love you jack. and i really don't wanna lose you" she said cupping my face as she wiped my tears.

"i love you more baby. it's forever us" i said leaning up to kiss her.

"ohh-kay.. wassup ?" i asked confusingly.

"you come in at 1 a.m. to 4 and then come right back for practice at 6 that last 3 and half hours. don't you think you should rest ?" kp asked.

"no i love training and i usually come when i can't sleep. im adjusting to being with a new team and that comes with putting in extra work".

"you guys are one of the best teams in the league and i wanna be able to keep up with that" i said.

"lyss you're doing fine boo. you've been doing amazing since you got here don't try to change yoself because on this team we are ourselves" a'ja said.

"idk, my last coach really messed with my confidence that's all" i mumbled.

"did she say something or you referring to her taking your starting spot cus she was making everything about clark" chelsea asked.

"no, she would say slick stuff about me and how i wasn't progressing enough to be a pro baller" i said shrugging.

"tell christie, i said she can go die" tip said making us gasp.

"what ? im dead serious bro you're literally a COACH that one person that's supposed to believe in you and bring up you're confident and she doing the exact opposite" tip said.

"ts is foul and she deserved to be fired." ac said.

"don't worry baby. you fit in perfectly here and becky sees that that's why you're here. you gone be good and even if you don't feel like it we gone make sure you're okay" jackie said.

"thanks guys" i said smiling and they nodded.

"ion wanna hear-

"no you're gonna listen to me kiersten. look i love you, i really do and i want you in my life but i love nalyssa and i wanna be with her".

"okay but i was in love with you first jackie" kb said making my shake my head.

"but it's too late cus you never told her. we're happy and it's time for you to move on now" i said.

"you stfu. i wasn't talking to you" kb said.

"kb don't be mean" kp said.

"she's right kb, it's too late you should've just told me how you felt" jackie replied.
