Love and Basketball (COMPLETE)

Chapter 16

Blake's P.O.V

The next day after church, we took Chloe out for ice-cream. Of course after we went home and changed.

*****

After we had ice-cream, we went home. I went on the couch and fell asleep.

It's been a long day.

Hours later...

I woke up with a heavy weight on my stomach. I looked down and saw Chloe laying down on me, her head on my chest. I smile.

Awww, such a daddy's girl.

I smelt something coming from the kitchen. I peeked over the back of the couch and spotted April in the kitchen.

She was cooking chicken and Macaroni and cheese, while entertaining Angel. I smile again.

My family.

I looked down again, and saw Chloe shifting around. Her eyelashes resting on her cheeks, and a little drool hanging from her mouth.

I chuckle lightly. I reach for the remote and turn on the TV. I went to channel 36 where the OKC vs NYK game was on. I got comfortable again.

(skipping time)

So the Knicks lost (like always) 100-94. Eh, only 6 points.

Maybe next time guys.

At this point Chloe was wide awake, staring at the TV blankly. I stroked her hair and she looked up at me.

Her big brown eyes staring into mine. I smile and kiss her forehead.

"Hey baby girl"I say

"Hi daddy"she says

I move a loose strand of hair from in front of her eyes. I sit up, while grunting. Chloe giggles.

"Daddy, you're getting old"she says

"I'm getting there, slowly"I say

I stand up, carrying her. Her arm wrapped around my neck. My arm around her back, holding her against me tightly.

One of her legs on my front side and the other on my back side. She messed around with her ear with her free hand.

I walked into the kitchen. April turned around and smiled.

"Well hello there sleepy heads"she says

I smile. I walk over and kiss her temple. She kissed Chloe on the cheek and pecked my lips afterwards.

I place Chloe down on the bar stool. She folds her arms on the little island and lays her head on her arms, I guess falling asleep again.

She gets it from me.

"She likes sleeping, I see"April says

I smirk when she looks at me.

"She gets it from you"she says

"Correct"I say

I walk over to Angel.

"What's up little man?"I say

He starts speaking gibberish. I chuckle. April turned off the stove and said dinner was ready.

I walked over to Chloe and shook her lightly. She mumbled things. I move to her ear.

"Baby girl?...can you stop dreaming about Carter for a few minutes and come eat?"I say

She looks up and squints at me. She hops off the stool and slowly walks over to the stove. I smile. I walk over to the stove too.
