Addicted (Lonzo Ball)

LANI

Once Rae leaves the room, I realized that I haven't went to check on Danni.

I walk towards our room and I hear voices coming from the bathroom.

I knock on the door and the voice stops talking.

"Yes?" I hear Rae ask.

"Have you seen Danni?" I asked.

"Nope, I'm just peeing, and I'm done now!" Rae says.

I hear the toilet flush and then water from the sink running.

Rae opens the bathroom door only enough for herself to squeeze through it.

"So- you haven't seen Danni, at all?" I raise an eyebrow at Rae.

"Nope!" Rae says cheerfully. "Let's go check in my room, yeah?"

Before I can even answer, Rae is pulling me towards her room.

After searching every room in the house, we find Danni with everyone else in the living room.

"Where have you been?" I asked Danni.

Danni shruggs her shoulders.

"Danni and Lani, we are going to be filming an episode of Ball in the Family tomorrow, so make sure you're camera ready when you wake up!" Lavar says.

We both nod our heads.

The next day, I am awaken by Lavar yelling.

"EVERYBODY!" Lavar pauses for a second. "WE'VE GOT A BIRTHDAY IN THE HOUSE!"

I groan pulling my pillow over my head.

Danni groans as well but then I hear her get out of bed.

"Who's birthday is it?" I asked Danni.

"What?"

"Who's birthday is it?" I asked again.

Danni smacks her lips. "I can't understand you if your face is covered by your fucking pillow!"

I remove the pillow from my head rolling over onto my back.

"I said who's birthday is it?"

"LaMelo's," Danni replies not amused.

"Oh, it's your niggas birthday!" I exclaim.

"No," Danni grabs her phone and she begins typing.

"What do you mean no?" I asked.

Danni lets out a long breathe. "I mean what I said, no."

Danni takes off her scarf and fixes her hair.

I do the same since a camera person could come in any minute.

Sure enough, LaMelo enters the room followed by a few camera people.

"You texted?" LaMelo smiles at Danni.

Danni nods her head.

"Do the- do the cameras have to be here?" Danni asked nervously.

LaMelo slowly nods his head.

"Okay then," Danni bites her lip.

I do not know what she is about to do, but all I know is Danni is making me really anxious right now.
