I published then unpublished because it was too early lol. Here luv.

June 1st

"I need to make a friend." Laylani said under her breath as Taylin came in with bags in his hand.

"You right. Franco and some of the other boys said you could come with me and meet their wives. Old ass niggas." He sighed and stretched, enjoying the new atmosphere.

"Jesus Christ, married?"

"Yeah. I'm the youngest on the team, they all 19 and up. Everybody cool so far."

"I'll come, it's not like I have anything to do anyways." She shrugged, not being too bothered because she didn't really do anything back at home either.

"Then get up before I start getting tired too." Tay rolled over and laid his head on her stomach, talking to his daughter under his breath.

"Boy she not gon respond."

"She be hatin." He said quietly, tapping his fingers against her stomach gently, knowing she'd respond. The baby turned and he laughed at the annoyed look on Laylanis face.

"You look so good." She pointed out when he looked at her and smiled shyly, unconsciously showing the sparking bottom grills in his mouth.

His eyes were red so she knew he was high as hell. Sometimes she couldn't believe god was making niggas this fine.

"After I give birth imma get so damn high." She said in anticipation, sitting up and pulling her hair up and out of her face.

"They'll probably wanna go somewhere so don't get all shy and back out cause you came lookin clapped. That don't mean dress cute either, wear this." Tay handed her shades that covered her eyes and a hoodie that went past past her thighs.

"Boy... I'm not wearing that." She pulled her pants up her legs and he took a deep breath in, rubbing his temples.

"If you wasn't pregnant you be out the window, take that shit off."

"I look cute though..."

"Exactly.."

-

"What's her name?" Marlin asked with his wife Toni attatched to his hip.

"My girlfriend, lets go." He said flatly, tossing his card in Laylani's hand and placing a kiss on her forehead, sucking his teeth when she slid it back to him.

"Keep it."

"Nah, I make money so you can spend it. Do you." He pushed her towards the girls gently, laughing ad she walked slowly.

"Nah I meant her name. Like her name."

"Oh. Tays girlfriend." He said casually before walking off with Marlin and the other boys, leaving Laylani stuck and confused with 4 girls who seemed to be in a permanent daze, except for one.

"Hi." She said awkwardly, and they all nodded and giggled making her choke silently. So they were airheads.

"Hey girl, my name Angel." The pretty darkskin girl said happily, pulling her in for a hug.

"I'm Laylani."

"Hiii. I'm Britney. That's Moni, that's Toni, and... oh you said it already.. that's Angel." The lightskin girl said slowly, pointing at the other 2 girls.

"So what you wanna do?" Angel asked quickly, deciding to completely ignore the airhead and address Laylani.

"Wanna wat-"

"I wanna go shopping. Let's go shopping." Toni said quickly, making Angel roll her eyes.

"You don't ever wanna do something fun. Anyways, what do you do? I'm a nail tech and s club promoter."

"I have a website. I sell hair, lashes, and I make wigs. I don't like doing hair though, too much work. Now that I say it out loud I sound like a typical Atlanta bitch but it's been going steady for 3 years now so I don't care." She shrugged, walking through the mall they met up in.

"I see you're pregnant, how far along are you? You look young, both of you just graduated right?"

"I'm 6 months, I'm 17 and he's 18, and yes. I got trapped but he won't admit it so it's whatever, I've had a really good pregnancy so far."

"Every time Marlin cheats he tries to get me pregnant. It's ridiculous." Toni said, making Laylani's face contort.

"Cheats as in.. multiple times?"

"Yes. But I love him, niggas gon be niggas. At this point it's too late to leave him, we've been together since I was 14." She smiled, trying to make it sound better than it was.

"Girl bye I wish Justin black ass would." Angel said dismissively.

"Taylin knows better than that, you should too. If you don't have a backbone he won't respect you."

"I see you guys on social media all the time, y'all are adorable. I'm glad your relationship is going better than mine, I'll talk to him later and put my foot down. It's sad watching people 5 years my youth being more responsible than me." Toni rolled her eyes when Marlins face popped up in her head and Laylani laughed.

"I low key grew to hate Dewayne but the sex.. that alone got me getting out of character. Maybe it's because we've been together so long, he's the only person I'm attracted to. I don't know." Moni spoke up for the first time to complain about her man too.

"They all try to cheat eventually, or the ones that think you're dumb and don't respect you. Like I said, I would smack the dog shit out of Justin if he even thought about playing with me like that."

They all walked in and Laylani thought about what they'd all said. She wasn't scared of Taylin cheating because he knew better without a doubt.

He was a loyal person in general, always staying true to his character and the people who supported him when no one else would. Riley and everyone else that told him he was too smart or talented to waste his life like them.

She never said anything but she always noticed when he'd wake up and quietly cry on the edge of the bed. He never seemed to be at peace with himself no matter what he did.

Taylin knew for a fact she was the love of his life, undisputed. Sometimes he wondered what he'd do if she ever got sick of him and he always figured he'd just roll over and die.

Everything about him was beautiful to her. Physically and internally.

"I never had sex with another man even though I wanted to. He'd be so hurt. I do mess with girls but he doesn't care about that at all. Little does he know a fake dick can me orgasm and he can't. Sad." She shrugged, shaking her head.

"All that cheating and he can't fuck?"

"Sex gets boring when you're married. Missionary, 4 minutes of doggy style, then nasty grunt before he cums on your back. I'm starting to think I just don't like men."

"Sex gets boring?" Laylani asked in confusion, completely unfamiliar with everything Toni had said.

"You're young so probably not no time soon. I'm 25 and already sick of men, shit. And he's trash as fuck when it comes to sex, if you're getting good dick you won't be so annoyed every time your man wants to be up on you and all that."

"He seems different, a lot quieter than the other drafts I've met. They're all hype and excited, he seem like he don't even care about other players or games." Angel pointed out.

"He doesn't watch basketball and he's not a jock at all. He comes home and plays the game for hours, that shit is so annoying." Just the thought of his stupid ass PlayStation made her wanna spazz.

"I should've got me a quiet nigga like you did, with how happy y'all look I know he's giving up more than money. Because that don't mean shit sometimes." Moni said suggestively.

"Definitely. Most definitely." Laylani answered quickly, feeling a blush come to her face at the thought.

Aside from him being her best friend.. that boy could fuck.

She never thought she'd be the sex feen she was until she actually had sex. Everything about it was intimate and even when something hurt it felt good. They weren't the perfect couple but damn they were happy.

While she was enjoying her conversation Taylin was preparing to back flip off the Empire State Building and crash land into the ground.

"Damn she fine." Dewayne said as they walked towards his car, getting ready to go to a game Tay had no interest in.

"Nigga they coming over here. Unlock the door so I can get in, Angel said if the shaderoom see me just talking to another bitch in public and post it that's my dick." Justin panicked as they walked closer and jiggled the door knob.

"I'll tell her they were only talking to me, relax." Dewayne said, making his friends eyes go even wider.

"Nigga she hates you what do you mean?!"

"Shhh. Hey how y'all doin?" He smiled widely as 3 thick girls approached the car with extra long lashes.

"Nothing. You play for the Lakers right? You too?" The shorter one asked Tay, wondering if he was in a bad mood because of the bitter look on his face.

Despite the annoyed expression he looked good. His hair was down but out of his face to where you could see his line up. He had on a white shirt, light blue distressed Amiri jeans, and yeezy 700 interia's. The first thing girls looked at was his hair, his skin, the white diamond Rolex on his right wrist, and everything else was irrelevant. He was fine and he had money, that's all that mattered to girls that approached him.

Which wasn't a problem with him because of course girls would rather approach a fine rich nigga than a broke fine one. But the rejection was always quick and nasty.

"Yes."

"Can you sign..."

Tay stood there in a daze, not really paying attention as he leaned against the car waiting for Dewayne to hurry up. She stood there waiting for a response from him and didn't get one, not realizing he wasn't aware she was talking to him.

"Excuse me, you." She tapped his arm and he looked down quickly, disturbed by the the touching.

"Wh- I mean yes?"

He tried smiling and being polite when he remembered he wasn't Taylin from Bankhead anymore, he was Taylin from Bankhead with people watching him and his career. Learning how to stay polite and professional was harder than the basketball part to him.

"Can you sign my chest?" She asked boldly, swinging her hair out of the way. Dewayne and Justin looked at him and he heard Troy laugh like a child.

"Sorry, Nah." He said sweetly, surprising all of them.

"Oh?"

"I have a girlfriend and she'd beat my ass, no can do. But I can sign your arm?" Taylin suggested, seeing her arm go out immediately.

"At least you not friendly when she ain't around. I need a nigga this loyal on god." She shrugged.

She wasn't bothered by his no because she didn't know he had a girlfriend. If she did she wouldn't have asked because that was testy.

"Thank you, have a good day." He finished and handed her her marker back as she walked away.

"No thank you! Witcho fine ass!"

Dewayne and the others laughed because Taylin had an obvious blush on his face. Compliments really just embarrassed him and made him wanna crawl into a hole.'

"Shit if I was you.."

"Nigga nobody over here cheating but you, we all know what you would've gone if you was me. Bitch would've got your whole back up number, email, and address." Taylin said as Dewayne finally unlocked the car, making everyone nod.

"Fuck y'all."

"I feel like you tryin me." Xander said as he walked in Jaylanis room tiredly.

"I'm not. You my main nigga so you pay for my hair and nails, meanwhile I actually like my side nigga." She put her hands up in his face, showing her new set of nails.

"Word? Imma fuck you up, better leave me alone." He sucked his teeth and pushed her away before laying down on her bed, kicking his shoes off. It was always cold in her room which was another thing he liked about being over there.

Zion kept the thermostat on 60 which was just too damn cold but her room was a solid 65 or 70. It was chilly in her room but it felt good laying next to her feeling warm.

"Stop." He whined and closed his eyes, annoyed when she sat up and moved away from him.

"I'm not laying down in jeans, move so I can change, needy ass nigga."

Jaylani went to the bathroom and laughed, hearing him kick his feet against her bed in annoyance. Funny how he acted so hard around his friends but acted like this when it was just them.

"Your friend annoying as shit. Every time we break up she wanna be my friend then we get back together and she dog my ass out like you stinkin bitch don't play wimme."

"Who?"

"Mariah or sum like that. Then she say I'm bad for you, girl and? Where the fuck I'm going? No where. Where the fuck you going? No where."

"Boy bye it's niggas way finer than you, way-"

"Incorrect."

"Nah really. When you touch me i don't get butterflies no more I be like 'What this nigga want now? Gahdamn.'"

Xander rolled his eyes knowing she was just talking shit but grew annoyed when her ugly cackling got louder. She knew exactly how to get under his skin.

He kissed her so she would shut up, taking her by surprise. His hand went to her leg, pulling it around his waist as they kissed feverishly. Nasir had been bothering them all week so there wasn't really any room for them to spend time together.

Nasir was low key his worst enemy because the more he tried stopping them from touching eachother the more they want to do it.

"Move." He said quickly, pulling away as he grew uncomfortable.

Jaylani ignored him and kissed him again, sighing contently when his hand slid up her shorts from the bottom, touching her thighs as he inched up to grab her ass hoping she'd back off.

"I said stop." He said seriously, pulling back for the second time.

She rolled her eyes and complied, turning away from him and facing her wall. He was smart but he couldn't take hints to save his life.

Jaylani didn't wanna have sex but she was sexually curious. The only thing she wondered was how it felt and if he was good at it. Boys bragged about sex all the time but he never really said anything about it.

"What is sex like?" She asked, making him sigh again. This was always a terrible conversation for him.

"Fun but easily regrettable. I wish I would've kept my virginity." He said honestly.

"Why?"

"I don't know. It would've been nice to lose it to someone I liked. If I met you before her I would've kept it." Xander thought back to losing his virginity, not remembering much about it.

"That's cute." She kisses his cheek and he blushed as their legs intertwined again.

"It wasn't all that, my hand works better though. My hand can't complain about being ignored and used."

"You're terrible. It doesn't look like it feels good, Amariah showed me some video with this girl screaming and shit, oh my god." Jaylani said as she shook her head.

"It's different kinds of porn screams. One is good, the other one is bad. If it was a whiny scream that bitch need to shut up and take that shit, if it was a pained scream then they just not built for that kind of dick. Hoes lose they virginity and think they can take anything."

"I went to the gyno with Laylani the other day and the vagina ain't all that deep. I was looking at pictures in the magazine and I don't think I'll ever wanna have sex." She muttered making Xander laugh loudly.

"Youn even like tampons I'm not surprised you scared of dick."

"Tampons are scarier because what if it get stuck? But that's not why. When you changed earlier l noticed that it's really big and that makes me uncomfortable." Jaylani said bluntly, seeing Xander's ears turn red.

"Is it supposed to be small? My dick is normal leave me alone." He snapped, growing embarrassed quickly as she laughed and poked fun at him.

"No it's not wenidi liji look at it. You're not normal, you're nasty." She teased, pulling the blanket back to poke fun at his dick print. For the first time in his life he was embarrassed about being well endowed.

"Stop talking to me." He crossed his legs and pushed her arms from his neck seriously.

"You didn't say nice things to her while you did it right?" She asked assertively, feeling jealous and possessive now that the idea of him sleeping with Erin popped up in her head.

"Does 'you love this dick bitch?' Count as nice things?" Xander asked seriously, getting a shocked look in return.

"..no..."

"Then no."

June 8th

"Where you been?" Laylani asked calmly, turning to look at him as he walked in like everything was fine.

"Out, just doing shit."

"What is there to do at three in the morning on a Monday?"

"A lot." He shrugged casually.

"What were you doing? Stop playing with me bitch." She sat up and paused the TV, hearing him sigh and ignore her before walking into the bathroom.

The shower turned on and she rolled her eyes before standing up and grabbing his jacket off of the floor, getting hit in the face with a strong perfume.

At this point.. she felt tried.

But instead of spazzing she just grabbed her phone, her charger, and whatever she might've wanted to wear the next day. Him stressing her out was hurting their baby so she'd just get her space for the night and come back the next day.

After 20 minutes of her reevaluating everything she felt cheated on of course, but that's not who he was and that's not something he'd do so that troubled her as well.

When everything was in her bag he walked out of the shower with a towel around his waist and his hair wet and tamed. He watched as she tried walking out but realized what she was doing and stopped her.

"Fuck is you doing?" He pulled her back, flinging her on the bed gently as he squeezed the water out of his hair.

"Where were you? I'll ask again." Laylani stood up, resisting the urge to back out and lay back down like a dumbass.

She wasn't big on standing up for herself when things she didn't like happened with them because he'd usually just apologize so she could let it go.

"Nothing damn, let it go."

"Let me get dressed and have some pregnant fun then. Goodnight." She tried walking past him but he held down, not going for it.

"Relax. Lay yo ass down."

"Taylin move right fucking now! Imma kick you in your dick if you don't get off me." She felt her eyes water because she hated how casually he was treating this entire situation.

"Chill out, damn. I went to the airport to pick up Bethany." Tay said defensively, looking at her like she was crazy.

"Okay so why you ain't say than earlier?!"

"Because I didn't want you to know?"

"Move bitch." Laylani pushed at his chest, not getting very far.

"Watch yo fuckin mouth, I just told yo nosy ass why I was out late and you still got an attitude."

"Because you were tryna lie to me.. now move." She felt her back go against the bed and rolled her eyes because he was childish.

"You know I ain't mean no harm, certa-"

"Shut up I don't wanna talk to you." She said flatly.

"Who else you got to talk to? The wall? Girl you better fuckin talk to me now that I done fessed up."

"I said don't talk to me nigga like are you not clear?" Laylani snapped as she moved to the headboard, getting turned on for whatever reason. Maybe it's just because he was fine.

He sucked his teeth and moved in between her legs, snatching her underwear off carelessly. He knew he could apologize all he wanted but she'd only accept it under certain
