Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

"Come on D give me more" Anthony the photographer called out.

Giving his camera a haughty but flirty look with folded legs I tugged the now soaked dress shirt with my red bra now on full display the layered golden necklace with red diamonds are now dazzling along with the cube of ice laying atop my cleavage.

"Great. I swear your my favorite model to work with." Anthony laughed walking from behind the camera with a thick white robe.

"Thank you... now I'm getting big headed." I laughed along with him before walking to my dressing room.

"D!! Tamia's on the phone." My manager/assistant Kelly said handing me the phone.

"Tamia" I called into the phone

"Girl where the hell you at?" Her loud voice came. "My shoot ran late so I'll have to meet you at the arena." I said throwing on a set of sweats.

"Alright you've got an hour." She snapped before hanging up.

"You wanna go to the game tonight?" I asked Kelly walking to the car.

"No I have a date." She said blooming smiling as I pinched her cheek.

"Hey... we talked about this!" She exclaimed still smiling "I know but I can't help it... you're cute!" I smiled

Blushing she turned away walking ahead to the car. Leaving the elevator I rushed to the door, I haven't seen my baby in almost ten hours and now I'm about to leave again.

Entering I didn't see Mrs. Taylor so I went straight to the bathroom after washing I walk to the baby's room seeing her up and about. "Hey baby" I teased her lifting her from the crib. "Mommy!"

"you missed mommy?" I asked kissing her cheeks making her giggle.

"Miss Dia I'll be leaving now." Mrs Taylor said from behind.

"Shit" I cursed I forgot she had to leave today.

"Ok can you please change her before leaving I'm taking her out." I said handing the baby over. Nodding she walked away. Taking a smaller sized baby bag I packed all I think she'll need for tonight before calling Tamia.

"Leave already?" She asked

"No change of plans. Can you find someone really sweet to exchange those Courtside seats with?" I asked uncertain.

She was quite for a few seconds before answering "you're taking baby Mir?" She asked

"Yes I seemed to have forgotten Mrs. Taylor would be leaving today" I said walking into my closet.

"Cool remember to bring her earphones." She said before hanging up.

Tonight's her brother's first game since signing with the Eagles. So even if I don't normally watch these there's no escaping tonight.

Pulling into the parking lot I sat a waiting for Tamia. Seeing her running over I smiled slipping from the truck.

"Where's my niece?" She asked no one in particular as she flung the door open taking Amira from the car seat.

"There goes my baby!!!" she sang tickling Amira. Taking our bags from the passenger seat I locked the car before following Tamia into the arena.

Sitting down she looked at me "What?" I asked

"You know they're playing Raheem tonight right.?" She asked burning holes in my skin "Ok. What that gotta do with me?" I asked staring right back at her.

"Just a heads up" she said playing with the busy Amira as she looked around.

"Yow I heard their captain will be back tonight?" She asked as the cheer team opened with a dance.

"Um captain?" I asked uncertain. I only watch basketball with Tamia and it's not that often with how busy I've been in recent years. Also considering the fact I'm normally all over and in my own world it's impossible to know them all atleast.

"Yes ma'am that dark-skinned giant was out because of a shoulder injury some time ago." She said as they start introducing the teams and did a welcome.

"There he goes." she said pointing to a literal giant "That's Myles"

Following her line of sight to the end of the line. There stood a tall and well toned man, I watched as he talk with his teammates. his aura is off the charts won't lie on that, but it seemed my faint glance lasted way longer than necessary because he turned around staring right at me.

Startled I stared wide-eyed at the face looking back at me, a little flustered I looked away my heart beating so fast my ears started ringing.

"Oh my fucking God. That's Myles?" I asked as I whisper yelled to Tamia.

"Yes why you acting like that?" She asked taking note of my quiet but wild behavior.

"I-I know him" I said massaging my temples

"Shocker.!! So does maybe the whole world" She said with a straight face.

"Not like that, personally you could say." I mumbled

"Oh. How did that happen?" She asked raising a brow at me.

Silently staring at her and Amira I sighed.

"What's the baby's last name?" I asked her massaging my temples as my headache grew stronger.

"Myles why you asking dumb-" her eyes going wide as she cut herself of.

"No way!!" She whisper yelled before staring between me, the court and baby Mir.

Nodding I sighed... "If I knew he played ball I would've never been with him like that. Just my luck yeah."

"You the one who said name only." She shrugged nonchalantly returning the words I told her after that vacation.

"Hey!! That was supposed to be one night of fun not forever." I whisper yelled, pouting I took my baby kissing her "I don't regret my baby tho?" I said staring down at Amira "She just looks a little too much like him." I said with a frown

"I would've never thought—you know Micha had made a joke about this before. I had just brushed him off but hey atleast she got your mouth and attitude." Tamia laughed.

Ignoring her I watched the game in a dazed state. As at some point Tamia took Amira and I really didn't realize.

"Oh is that Miss Dia I see?" The announcer called as the camera found it's way to my direction. Reacting quickly I covered the sleeping baby's face by holding up a folded blanket before smiling at the camera giving a small wave.

"Miss Dia who are you supporting tonight?" This nosy asked. With a smile Tamia gestured 5.

"Oh I see Campbell's sisters turned out." He said as they zoomed in on our clothes before it moved away. We're wearing Micha's jerseys so it's quite clear.

"Don't let them see my baby." I said standing up.

"Where you going?" She asked ignoring my statement.

"To the restroom" I said walking away. Finding the restroom here was a task this area is huge. Flushing I left the stall, washing my hand I saw someone walking up behind me.

Looking in the mirror I was greated by soft brown eyes and a blushing face. "Hi" I smiled at her

"Um- hi" She said fumbling

"You're quite cute" I said chuckling as I dried my hands.

"C-can I take a picture with you?" She asked

"Of course" I smiled as she shrieked happily. After a few photos and short conversation I knew her name was Aliyah and she's here watching her cousin play.

"Can I post them?" She asked going timid again.

"Yes be sure to tag me" I said retrieving my phone and following her Instagram.

"Thank you" she hugged me before parting ways.

"What took you so long?" Tamia asked as I sat down looking at the now fully awake Mir.

"Met a cute fan" I smiled as she played with Amira.

"Look baby" she said pointing at the screen where Myles' face was on display.

"That's daddy." She said making me slap her hand down glaring at her before looking at the court to find him busy

"Don't do that!" I said with a straight face.

"What!? It's not like I said something wrong." She said rolling her eyes

"You know she likes repeating things now."

I said knowing damn well if she ever see him in person she'll call him Daddy. This girl don't forget shit.!!

"Oh well" She shrugged smiling.

With the buzzer signaling the end of the game and with no surprise The Eagles won I quickly hung the soft headphones on Mir's ear as the crowd erupted into cheers.

We sat waiting for the crowd to leave before stepping into the passage way leading to the entrance of the tunnel.

"I'll be back" Tamia said heading in the direction of the bathroom not giving me a chance to react.

While waiting on Micha to exit the locker room, God decided to play catch with me tonight because the opposing team Falcons came out first.

Ignoring them I stand pretending they're invisible.

"Dia?" Raheem called stopping infront staring down at me.

"How you've been?" He pressed

"Good." I said

"I can see that. Your baby?" He tipped his chin at Amira. Holding her tightly I stepped back not liking him all up in my space.

"Yes." I said looking at my watch

"Who's the daddy?"

Looking at him I asked "Can you mind your own business. I could go forever without seeing you but why you gotta find yourself all up in my face again.?" I asked

"Just making su-"

"Don't even think about it!!" I snapped

"Daddy!" A giggle came from my shoulder along with Amira's shout.

"Soon baby I smiled before turning to Raheem "Can you leave?"

"Dia-"

"Is something wrong here?" A deep voice came making me freeze.
