Y/N wiped her forehead as she opened the U-haul door. Boxes and totes sat dormant on the van floor. She sighed already stressed looking at the work before her.

"Y/N, you ready?" Her mother smiled looking up at the expensive condominium.

"Yes, mama." Y/N started pulling boxes forward.

She left her mother for a brief moment to meet the landlord at the front. She grabbed her new keys and smiled as they left her to move in.

They both carried her belongings to the elevator. The condo was spacious. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A full kitchen and laundry room. Her mother unloaded the boxes.

"The movers will be here shortly to begin placing the furniture." Her mother spoke putting glasses into the cabinets.

They spent the next two hours putting things away and organizing the condo. Her bohemian theme came together quite well. Her tall house plants made her home smell earthy.

"Okay, mama. You can go. Thank you so much. Call me once you make it to the hotel." Y/N hugged her mother goodbye.

Y/N sat on her couch and picked up the remote to the television. She cussed when she realized that it wasn't even hooked up. Her Chinese food would be coming any minute and she wanted to binge-watch 9-1-1.

She sat up and unlocked the front door. She looked down the empty hallway and realized she only had one next-door neighbor. They were across the hall and probably had the biggest condo in the building. Y/N hastily knocked on the door and waited.

The infamous LaMelo Ball opened the door shirtless. Y/N kept her eyes on his. He looked down at her tiredly. She realized she should've come another time. Not eight at night.

"I'm sorry. I just moved in across the hall and I was wondering if you knew how to hook up at television?"

He laughed. "Yeah, I got you."

The two moved across the hallway to Y/N's door. She opened it and allowed him to come in. He surveyed her apartment while she escorted him to the living room. The television sat on the stand waiting to be plugged in. 

"You know I could be a serial killer right?" Y/N suggested while he hooked up her tv.

He stared back at her weirdly, "Do you always ask questions like this?"

Y/N stood to the side of him with her arms crossed, "Well it's true." 

"You must watch investigation discovery too much." He laughed before looking back to her tv. 

They stood in silence while he worked. Y/N leaned down in his space to see what he was doing. She was tired of the silence, "So what do you do?" 

He jumped at her sudden question, "Girl, can you back up." 

"Sorry." She scratched her head and moved away nervously.

"I'm a basketball player. I don't know why you asked me that because I know you know who I am." 

She squinted her eyes at his back, "Mhm. Anyways are you almost done? I got my Chinese food waiting." 

"You asked me to hook it up. Lemme take my time." He shook his head but smiled unconsciously. He liked the girl, she was cute and hella nerdy. 

"You like living out here, Mr. Ball?" 

He shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. It's aight." 

Y/N took a seat on her velvet couch, "Mhm." 

She watched him work silently. His muscles arched at any sudden movement. He was in deep concentration. Y/N didn't realize how hard she was biting her lip until she tasted blood. She shook away her dirty thoughts and focused on what mattered, her television. 

The television lit up the minute he plugged in the final cord. Y/N cheered silently. She sped walk to grab her food and brung it to the coffee table. Lamelo wiped his hands off on his sweats. Y/N grabbed the remote and turned it to her show. The dramatic music played in the background making Lamelo sigh. 

"You watch this too?" He questioned eyeing the show. 

"Yes, you want some?" Y/N pointed to the Chinese food sitting in containers. 

His mouth watered at the sight, "I could eat."

Y/N passed him a plate and turned the volume on the television up. She was on season four and needed to catch up. As Lamelo was grabbing his food he became intrigued by the show. Y/N smiled seeing him so content. 

"Wait so who is that again?" 

"That's Captain Nash. He's married to Athena." Y/N explained all the character's relationships again. 

"Oh." He rubbed his chin trying to keep up. 

By the next hour, the end credits were rolling. They had finished all the food and LaMelo now had something new to watch. Y/N was half asleep. He stood up looking at his phone. She opened her eyes to see him leave. 

"I gotta head back. Practice tomorrow morning." 

She nodded yawning, "Okay. Thanks for hooking up my television." 

"Yeah, maybe we can do it again sometime." 

She smiled at him, "You must have liked the show." 

He laughed shocked by her response, "It was good I'll give you that." 

Y/N slid him her cellphone, "Whenever you feel like finishing text me! I won't watch it without you."
