6 Second Wife

Celebrating at Burger King was fun because I got to speak to Akua and tell her about my goals to go to the NBA and how I wanted her to be my second wife. We kept going back and forth about her being the only wife. I told her she would have little sisters she has to take care of in the future when I'm not around, and she blushed.

Everyone saw me talking to Akua and tried to ignore us, but my mother approached us and asked if Akua was going to be her daughter-in-law one day. I tell her that Akua would be one of them, so she should teach her how to cook and be a good woman to me. My mother laughs at me but notices I have a serious face on and she shakes her head and leaves; regretting that she made her way over there. Akua gets angry and tells me she's not going to marry me, and I quickly tell her I want her to dream big and that after everything is done, I'll help her get what she wants. 

I assure Akua that she won't be one of those stay at home moms but will be very successful in the future. Akua's eyes lit up as if they were stars and she told me she wants to be an actress in the future. I tell her that it's easily accessible once I make it big. I told Akua that I would personally fund her first movie so she can make it big after. She hugged me and thanked me. She then tells me that she doesn't mind being a second wife as long as I don't have more than four wives. I blushed and quickly shook it off. 

After eating our fill and talking a little about the future, we were all set to leave for home. It's the weekend, so my mom takes my sister and me out to a small birthday party where the girl was turning 16. Her name was Fiona, and in my past life, I thought she was the prettiest girl in my church during that time. I'm way younger than her, so she doesn't even glance at me. I decided I wouldn't even pursue her in this life. 

The guys at the party decided to play some ball after eating and partying up a little bit and they wanted me to play with them. I told them I was too good for their level. They didn't believe me so they immediately asked if I could beat their best guy Herman, who was like a giant standing at 6'4. They promised to give me $50 if I win, so I agreed because every little thing counts. I told them I'm only playing to 6 points and that we are shooting for the ball, which, of course, I won it and got the ball first.

As soon as we finished checking the ball, I took a quick shot before he could react and had a two-point lead. Herman got annoyed and came closer to play harder defense, so I quickly ran around him and prepared to shoot the ball, but Herman was right there in front of me. I pump-faked the ball to get him in the air and jumped back to the three-point line. I easily took the shot from there and since Herman was already in the air, he couldn't make adjustments and watched as the ball flew slightly over his fingertips. I grinned. Two more points and I can earn my easy $50. And at this point, Herman and the kids were pissed and cursing me out for being shameless and doing tricks to win. 

I paid them no mind and checked the ball, Herman wouldn't leave me alone, so I stroll to the half-court, and he smirked. "There's no way this kid can make it from there" he says to his friends, but to his surprise, I take the shot and walk off to get my money. The kids get mad and yell that the game is not over until they hear the net make a sound and see the ball go through the hoop, and their jaws drop. "Time to pay up." I tell them, and they reluctantly hand the money over. I gladly accepted the money and went to sit down and watch them play their own game. Sometimes during the games, some of the kids come and ask me to join and be on their team, but I tell them if I joined, it would be a cheat. They go back to playing when I turn them down.

After eating food and birthday cake at the party, we left to go to the mall to walk off the food and do a bit of shopping. I ended up getting some new Jordans for Opal and me. When we got home, it was evening, so I went to the court to practice a little before coming home to sleep. The next day we went to church. Nothing special happened except that everyone was talking about me being the best basketball player in the church. I ignored them, obviously unamused, and fell asleep during the sermon. 

The next day at school, I met Akua during lunch, and we had a little chat about current musicians and their lifestyles. I told her I could sing and rap, and she laughed at me. She didn't believe that I was telling her the truth, so I promptly requested the kid next to me to give me a beat, and the whole cafeteria got quiet to listen. I started singing some Chris Brown songs and then I started rapping some Lil Wayne lyrics, and everybody was impressed. Then a sudden realization hit me like a brick. I could easily retire my whole family real quick by writing songs. After I was done performing, everyone clapped for me, and Akua gave me a peck on my cheek while blushing hard and quickly ran off. Everyone laughed.

Darrel saw all of this and was overflowing with jealousy. He decided to talk to some of his friends around his hood and told them that he needed help to teach me a lesson the next day after school. He knew the area I lived in. While I was getting plotted on, I had a carefree expression while I was in the classroom, thinking of what songs I can steal from in the future. Drake, Chris Brown, Eminem, Lil Wayne and maybe do some Sean Paul. They made music that a lot of people loved in the future. I'm excited at the thought of getting famous, but I know basketball is the main thing I want to do, so I'll just make some music on the side. 

After school, I decided to check on the team and watch them practice. As soon as I sat down, Momba asked me for a one on one match. I told him I didn't feel like it, so he offered me $50 to play him, and that I would get it if I win. I quickly agreed and I knew in my heart that I would not lose. We started the game, and everyone stopped to watch, including Coach K. I got the ball first and took the shot right away, but to my surprise Momba was quick and blocked the shot. 

For the first time, I was blocked and shocked beyond belief about how this guy could block my shot, but then I realized he's tall as hell and he's like, two me's stacked ontop of each other. Plus, we played together a lot, so he would have picked up on my techniques by now. He smirked and quickly went in to make a dunk while I was still in shock.
