February 8th,Clippers vs. Thunder....
Blake's P.O.V
So we lost this game....also.103-131.
What an ass whooping.
This is the 4th damn game in a row that we freaking lost!
I'm getting pissed now!
I stormed into the locker room,nearly knocking Chloe over.Luckily,I caught her before she fell.
I sat down in my chair and sat her on my lap.
"daddy?"she says
I look up at her.
"don't get mad"she says
"why not?"I ask
"don't expect to win every game.Not everyone wins.I'm not saying you have to be like the Knicks and lose every game,but you need to have faith in your team...."she says"the reason you guys have 4 losses in a row is because you guys are stressing yourself.That's why you guys are not cooperating right"
I stare at her,shocked.
She will make a great motivational speaker.
"Chloe....what made you come up with all of this?"I say
She grabs my hand and hold it out,spreading my fingers apart.She places her hand on top of mine,palms facing up as well.
"you see those lines?"she says
I nod.She traces hers then traces mine.
"I know your feelings.When I see you get mad during the games,it makes me sad.Basically your emotions rub off on me.Which is kind of weird,but okay"she says
Wow.
"right now,your emotion is curious...and surprised"she says,turning to look at me
How the hell....?
"don't worry,I can tell what the whole teams emotions are"she says
Jamal walks in.
"Jamal is frustrated"she says
Soon Chris walks in.
"Chris is...upset"she says
Basically,she named all other 14 guys emotions.
She's sidekick.
She turns to face me again,this time placing her hands on my cheeks.
"don't stress yourself out,you guys will win....I promise"she says
Then she hugs me and kisses my nose.She hops down off my lap and runs out of the locker room.
What has April done to my child?
*****
"Chloe!?"I call
"yes"she says,walking out of the bathroom
We're in Dallas Texas because we play the Mavs tomorrow,February 9th.So we left right after the game tonight.
When she saw the girl standing in the doorway of our hotel room,she froze.
"who is that?"she asked
"this is my friend....Jenny"I say nervously
"why is she here?"she asked,folding her arms over her chest
"because me and her are gonna go out later"I say
"what about me?"she says
"you're gonna spend a day with your boyfriend"I say,matter-of-factly
