There were loud voices downstairs which woke me up from my nap. Stretching I sighed as I heard Zhuri's footsteps drawing closer to the door
"Where you at penny!", She cackled slamming the door open wide
"Don't jump on my bed", I warned but it was too late as she came flying onto the bed
"Why couldn't you just stay where you were?" I asked annoyed by the sight of her dirty Nike socks on my covers
"Cause you can't live without me now remove these things", she ordered sitting in front of me
"How was it?" I asked as I removed the colorful pins that decorated her plaits
"I met these new girls and there were so nice, Bronny and Bryce played basketball with Reef and Shaqir-"
"Ouch! Zhuri yelped
Profusely apologising for slightly shoving the pin up her scalp I continued to listen to Zhuri but my mind was somewhere else
Shareef
I've know Shareef for quite a while now we talk but like on a mutual basis cause our fathers are mutuals. I used to have the biggest crush on him until I found out or assumed that his into lightskins and unfortunately I was on the brownskin radar.
I was a brown skin but a younger version of Savannah Brinson but with high cheekbones, the same full lips she has, faint freckles around my nose and cheek area, a beauty mark on the right side of my lips and standing at a whopping height of 5'9.
That's why I completely went emo on Reef don't get me wrong 6'9,tats, dark skin, cute smile and that voice sends literal chills up my spine.
Shaking those thoughts away, I grabbed the brush on the side table and began to brush Zhuri's hair.
After securing her hair into two Dutch braids I forced her to go take a bath while I picked out a fresh set of clothes for her to wear which was just a black hoodie and cotton pink sweat shorts. Once she was all fresh we headed downstairs.
"Wassup y'all", I casually said entering the kitchen upon noticing Shareef and Shaqir. Shaqir embraced me in a big bear hug, "Mad love for you", he exhaled as he let me go making me smile, "Mad love for you too, Qir". I turned to Shareef dapping him up and engaging in the quick usual 'hi and how are you' conversation.
Bronny walked in with with a bag of Chick-fil-A in his hands making my heart skip a beat. Opening my arms for a hug he snorted in response, "Stds lives in you". Mugging him as he handed me the bag standing two feet away i squinted my eyes at him as I received the bag.
"I hate you", I grumbled
"Feelings mutual gremlin", he seethed with the same energy
Bronny, Reef and Qir left to go play basketball while Zhuri and Bryce stayed over to watch me eat then force me into doing tiktoks.
Bryce and Zhuri kept me company as I filled my stomach while they talked about Peppa pig and how toxic Suzie and Peppa's relationship is and how the Lakers would perform in tonight's game.
After eating we headed outisde to the basketball court where Bronny, Qir and Reef where. I was forced into doing the Max and Ruby dance which I was failing too master
"It's not even that hard Tygaaa", Zhuri whined as I messed up towards the end
Bryce looked at me in disappointment, "You and Bronny are the worst dancers of all time y'all look like you be having strokes and seizures while acting demonitized. The hell is wrong with y'all?"
He did not just say I look-. "Bronny and I might not be the best dancers but damn you did not need to go off like that"
Zhuri grabbed my hand, "It's the hard, sad tru-".
Ayt imma head out.
Bronny and Shareef were playing 1v1 whilist Shaqir was live seated on one of the couches nearby the court
"Ouuuuuu Bentley mf James just entered y'all looking real fineeeeee in her fit", Qir gased as he turned the camera towards me
I laughed throwing gang signs as I removed the hood that was covering my face. Dressed in nothing but an oversized white hoodie and baggy navy blue sweats in morning shoes I joined him, "Nahhh y'all he lying I'm looking basic AF rn". Viewers begin to pour in as the comments came in thousands
"Bentley is sooo pretty" "Shaqir😍😍" "Y'ALL'S would make a cute couple" "I ship her and Shareef so baddd😭" "Bentleyyy is cute y'all"
Some of these comments were funny, shipping me and Shaqir. Shaking my head as Qir wrappef his arm around me, "This is my lil boo thang"
Removing his arm off me,"I ain't nobody's lil boo thang and thank you for the compliments it's all thanks to "LeBron James"(imitating his famous catch phrase) and my beautiful mama Savannah shout-out to both of them ion know what happened to Bronny and Bryce tho", I joked
Shaqir laughed as comments flooded in with people defending Bronny and Bryce calling them cute.
"Bronny is fine y'all periodt" "Bentleyyy don't come for my mans like that" "Bryce cute with those lil glasses"
Bronny's fake crying caught my attention forcing me to look at the court. Reef hd seemingly appeared to dunks on him and now he was moping while rolling on the court.
Shareef removed his shirt running up and down the court while flexing. "That's Zipper Boy for y'all!" He hits his chest,"Daddy Reef!"
Reallyyyy?? I thought to myself
"Nahhh chill Shareef you ain't daddy Reef you just lanky more like slanderman but you know on government feeding scheme.", I shot him my famous megawatt smile as I made my way to the court
Reef smirked at me throwing the ball at me. Catching it, "Nigga what you trying to do?"
"One on one with you Bentley", he challenge ed walking closer to me
In as much as I would have wanted to I couldn't, Shareef was too tall and besides being this close to him is making me a bit light-headed.
Shaking my head,"I would love to Reef but the long distance relationship between us ain't working". Shaqir bust out of laughter in the background while Bronny shot us a weird side eye.
Reef chuckled lightly grabbing the ball from my hands. Sparks were all I felt when his hands brushed past mine. "Who says we can't make it work?"
Shaqir yelled out, "Couple goals y'all they tryna make it work! Y'all could never not even Ayesha and Steph, Lil baby and Jayda, Teyana and Iman-". Bronny who was still on the floor just laughed

He looked me straight up in the eye and I rolled my eyes walking away. "You really big body Bentayga cause that ass fat", he mumbled referring to the nickname that inspired the name "Tayga". Truth be told is I was a big body with quite a small upper body, a small waist, wide hips, thick thighs from all the sporting I did and an ass.
"It could be all yours but you just blind", I whispered back.
