Kya & Xavier: It's Always Been You (Life As We Know It Book 1) by Charelle Mills

like two desperate groupies.” I said cutting my eyes at
Toni. “Look at them swarming the floor like little bee’s.” I pointed to the
floor which was quickly filling with fans, family members and what was clearly
girls in search of attention from anyone who had on an official Spartan jersey.
    “Uh no boo, we are definitely not groupies but if it gets me
closer to my future husband then I just might have to break the mold.”   Toni laughed so randomly that it made me
laugh too. I swear she was always on ready.
    “You are seriously on one girl.” I said.
    We sat there waiting for what seemed like forever and the
arena was almost empty with the exception of a cleaning crew and what was left
of the few family members, girlfriends and what appeared to be a group of girls
that were hoping to get lucky. Some of the players finally surfaced so Toni and
I stood up and made our way down the stairs towards the court but stopped about
two rows above it when I finally saw Xavier. He was wearing a black Nike wind
suit unzipped at the ankles so that the bottoms were dragging the floor and of
course a pair of loosely laced Jordan's that I was sure were some overpriced,
special edition, step on them and die a painful death Jordan’s. Typical after game gear.
    He was twirling a piece of his half twisted neatly tapered
hair and talking to one of his teammates carrying an oversized duffle bag with
his schools logo printed on it over his left shoulder. He looked towards the
stands near where we had been sitting and immediately began looking around when
he realized that we had moved. When he finally locked eyes with me he said
something to his teammate and then extended a closed fist towards him. The two
of them hit fist and Xavier started towards us but before he could make it to
where we were waiting a short girl with weave down to her waist jumped out of
one of the floor seats, called his name and stepped in front of him. Xavier
looked up at me and then back to the girl who was clearly not happy with him.
She attempted to hug him but he stepped back which apparently pissed her off
even more.
    “Is that that Tori trick?” Toni asked.
    “I guess so.” I said, honestly I had never officially meet
her before. I had only seen her in her Instagram profile picture after I tried
to creep on her but couldn't because her page was private. She was short, kind
of chunky and wore too much weave and make up. Complete opposite of me. She
would actually be a lot prettier if she toned it down a little.
    “Let’s go down there.” Toni said with an attitude.
    “That would be a definite no. I'm not in the mood for drama
tonight.” I said quickly to make sure that I didn’t give Toni any time to move.
    “You are better than me boo.” She said clearly not pleased
with my decision to avoid the confrontation.
    Toni picked up her purse from the seat next to her. “Okay let’s
go then.” She said. The two of us stepped out into the aisle and started up the
stairs. “You better find a way for me to meet my future husband since you're
making me leave.” But before we could make it anywhere I heard my name.
    “Ky hold up.” Xavier yelled.
    We both turned to see Xavier say something to the girl
standing in front of him and then watched her storm away to join two other
girls who had obviously been waiting on her. Xavier jogged up the stairs and
caught up with us. He playfully punched Toni in the arm before he hugged and
kissed me on my forehead like he always did. Well now! I’m sure this is going to catch up with you later, your girl
looks a little pissed.
    Toni punched him in the back but harder than he had hit her
so he yanked at her hair but not with enough force to do any real damage.
    “Chill man. I paid good money for all this.” Toni raked her fingers
through her hair and then flipped it over her shoulder.
    “And left a lot of horses naked and unhappy.”
    “Shut up, with your crooked leg, half seventies fro’d self.”
Toni said
