chapter 4

The Girls sat up in Renaee's room for hours. I had taken my pre game nap and gotten something to eat before I decided I would go up there.

"V." I knocked on the door.

"Oh Come in Marc." She laughed.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Just catching up.."

"Oh okay. Well Im grabbing my things an heading over to the arena.."

She looked at her watch.

"I hadnt realized what time it was. I am glad that you got up in time."

"Yeah So did I but it is okay."

"Im sorry."

"Babe Dont worry. Your best friend is here. I understand.."

She smiled that contagious smile bringing a smile to my face also.

She walked over to me kissed me, wished me luck, and then told me she'd meet me later.

I went into are room grabbed my stuff that I had packed and then headed to the kitchen grabbing a protein bar and a water before walking out the door.

Renaee POV

"Oh my. I feel bad." I looked down.

"It is okay, at least he got up other wise it would have been BAD!" She smiled.

We finished getting ready and about a half hour later we were drinking some red wine with Kelsey. As soon as we finsihed off the bottle as if it was timed right with the last drink the door bell rang.

"The limo is here." Vero yelled to us.

We took are glasses into the kitchen, grabbed are jackets, and headed out to the Limo.

Soon enough all three of us were singing along to 'love drunk' by boys like girls.

"I love this song." Kelsey laughed.

"I know me two." V and I both said in unison.

Soon enough we were pulling into the arena to pick up MOST of the girls that had lisened to Vero. Although she was right, not all of them had taken V's word seriously. She vowed she was not getting any girl out of anything like she had in the past. I drank to that one; knowing she will.

I met many other girls that werent at the practice this morning, mainly the wives that have kids and were barley able to get out here tonight with out them. Thanks to there husbands! I prefered talking with them then I did any of the other long time girlfriends. They were less bitchy and way more interesting to talk to anyways. We rolled down through Down Town, and out to Robinson to eat. It didnt even seem like it took longer then 5 minutes even though it is farther then that.

Eric POV

I couldnt get that girl out of my mind since I first saw her. An to think that someone wants me and NOT Max that just amazes me! It has defidently done something weird to me though. I couldnt believe that I slept the hole 2 hours that I needed to for the game tonight usually it is just like hour or less that I sleep but then again I dont go out an party as much as all the other guys do. I shot her a text as soon as I got the the arena an saw that the girls were leaving the parking lot in a Limo. "Hey, have fun with that."

"Yes I know I am late." I said as I walked into the lounge.

"Coach isnt here yet either dont worry." Tyler yelled over.

"Good. I really wanna play tonight."

"Bet I know why." Tyler and Jordan laughed.

Till Max walked in, then everything grew silent. He glared at me then over to the boys.

"Look who finally showed up."

"Only 5 minutes late."

"Oh were you out in the parking lot with the girls?"

"No.. How did you know that they were out there when I was anyways."

"So you were out there with them."

"No they were leaving as I pulled out. How did you know they were there?"

"Because I had to go introduce someone to the girls..." He laughed.

"oh ok." I looked confused at the guys."

Them all giving me 'i'll tell you later looks.'

Max POV

I couldnt believe that she really went somewhere with him. I knew exactly where I could have found them and messed things up, but against everything I felt and thought I lisened to Vero and decided against it. But instead I might have done something even more worse.. I went to get a drink before I headed home. An sure enough I had to see a hot girl!!! All that I knew about her was that her name was Katie, she was a waitress at the Rivers Casino, and that she had a killer body. I told her about the game and asked if she would like to go. Of course she agreed, she would be getting off work just in time for dinner with the girls. That is when the idea hit me... I'd make her jealous; make her want me.
