Chapter 16:
Chrishelle
5 months later:
I rolled over in my bed trying to get comfortable. Sleeping with this baby was hard because I could constantly feel it kicking. I sighed and decided it was time to get up. School was over and it was summer time and this baby would be here in a week. I prayed that the delivery would go well and I would be in too much pain, but at this moment I doubted it.
I stood in the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. I took a few pain killers even though the doctor told me not to. These past few months the pain killers were the only things helping me get through life. I heard that Melanie and Corahn were dating long distantly but that wasn't my main concern. I was mostly concerned on who the father was. I called up two guys who could possibly be the father but only one had returned my call. The conversation was tough but he agreed to at least get tested. I got dressed because I had one last appointment before the delivery next week.

Amaya:
I sat behind the desk in my office as I gathered the paper work needed for the meeting I had in a few minutes.
"Come in." I said referring to the knock on my office door.
The door opened and my coworker Alex stood in the doorway.
"What's up?"
"I was wondering if you got that stuff I faxed over to you, for your meeting today."
I nodded and pointed to the file on my desk. "Yeah I got it thanks."
He smiled and said we would talk later.
He closed the door and I finished preparing for the meeting.
I was about to meet with the #1 draft pick for the San Francisco 49ers.
The phone on my desk started to ring.
"Hello."
"Hey Amaya your client is here." My secretary Judy said.
"Thank you, just send him up."
"Come in" I yelled from behind the door.
He walked in then closed the door behind him. When he turned around he was staring at me. I took the chance to take in his appearance and he was handsome. He had brown eyes, lips that looked kissable and his hair had curls. He was dressed in black slacks, white button down shirt and a red tie
"You must be Amaya Scott, I’m Tremaine Neverson nice to meet you."
I stood up from behind the desk and he held his hand out for me to shake and I accepted it with a smile on my face. He leaned down and kissed my hand gently and I felt a shock go through me when he did. He let go of my hand and flashed me a smile and I melted.
"Please have a seat Tremaine so we can get started."
He sat down and got comfortable a little. I went back behind the desk and flipped through the file.
"Alright so let’s start with what I can do for you in the industry."
He nodded and smiled.
"Well if you allow me the opportunity I will be the best agent you ever had. I’ll bring my A game and get everything done, I know all I need to know about sports and this won’t be so hard for me."
"Last question… when can you start Amaya?" he said with a smile
"Tomorrow Mr. Nerverson,"
"Well you got the job congratulations!"
"Thank you." I said getting excited.
I hugged him and he hugged me back. We were like this for two minutes and somehow I felt like I belonged here but I have a boyfriend so I need to chill.
"Well Amaya I look forward to seeing you tomorrow and if you don’t mind how about we get dinner tomorrow so I can get to know you better, that’s only if you don’t mind. My treat?"
I thought about it for a second. it did sound like a great idea since we would be working a lot together.
"Um… can I get back to you on that?"
"No problem, I’ll give you my number so you can call me when you get your answer."
We exchanged numbers then I walked out the office with a smile on my face. I’m so happy I got my first client and I can’t wait to tell Mel about it. I was still waiting for the day she would come back from Atlanta. We talked yesterday and she said she may come back next month.

Tremaine:
Amaya was beautiful and everything about her stood out. I couldn't wait to meet her tomorrow and I hope that she agrees to go to dinner with me because I'm really interested in her. I see she has a boyfriend and that’s alright with me because I’m all for earning something that I want. I continued to work on the paperwork that I was working on and when it reached 8 PM I wrapped everything up and left to go home.
Me: Amaya are you accepting my invitation for dinner? I hope so.
I texted her.
Let’s see what Amaya responds with…

Amaya:
When I got home I got Tremaine's message. He’s really interested in getting to know me and the feeling is mutual. I picked up Cameron from daycare along with some take out Chinese food. I walked to the door and took my key out to open it then I closed it when I got inside.
I took my phone out and texted Tremaine back about dinner tomorrow.
Me: I’ll see you tomorrow Mr. Neverson at dinner :)
He texted me back soon after I texted him. I guess he's been waiting for my reply.
Trey: Great, I'll pick you up @ 7:30 and call me Tremaine or Trey
Me: Alright Trey, see u tomorrow :)
Trey: Until then :*
I went to my room and changed into my nightwear then went to bed to prepare for tomorrow and I’d be lying if I said I wasn't excited about having dinner with Trey. I really want to know things about him too since we would be working together and because he seems like a good guy.
*Morning*
When I woke up it was 7 AM and I have to get to work at 9. I got out of the bed to go do my morning routine and take a shower afterwards. When I got out of the shower I got my outfit out for work and put it on. When I was happy with my outfit I went and made some breakfast for Cam and I. I left the house it was 8:45 and it only takes me 10 minutes to get to work. When I arrived Judy greeted me.
"Good Morning Ms. Scott, how are you today?"
"I’m fine, how are you Judy?"
"I’m good. Mr. Neverson told me to tell you when you arrive to go to the conference office."
"Thank you Judy."
I walked to the office and knocked two times and waited for him to tell me to come inside
"Come in." he yelled
I walked in and he was sitting at the desk working on some paperwork. I looked to see what he had on today. He had some blue slacks, light blue dress shirt and a red tie. He looked so good. I walked in and had a seat and greeted him.
"Good morning Trey."
"Good morning Amaya, you good?"
"Yes I'm fine."
"So what's up for this season?"
"Well I talked to some industry people for the companies Nike, Under Armor, and Gatorade, and they're all excited to offer you a sponsorship with them to promote the upcoming football season you'll be playing in."
"Wow that's great."
"Yeah also how long do you think you'll want to play for the 49ers until you request a trade?"
"Maybe 4-5 years or so as long as were moving up in the championship levels."
"Cool that's sound about right, because you don't want to be known for someone who hops from team to team."
Trey nodded. "True. So when do I start with the sponsorship companies?"
"They're available whenever you are."
"Okay so how about next week or so and just spread it over from Tuesday through Thursday since we have late practices."
"Sure I'll contact them tomorrow."
Trey nodded then smiled at me. I think I just melted again.
"Well Trey it looks like we're all done here, it will of course get more intense when the season starts and people are more aware of your talents on the court."
Trey smiled.
"Thanks Amaya I think this will be a great season."
"Me two."
We finished the meeting and Trey left. I was typing a proposal on my computer when there was a knock at the door.
My blinds we open and Javaughn stood in the window with a bouquet of flowers. I waved for him to come in.
"Hey baby." I said getting up and kissing his cheek.
"Hey." He kissed my lips.
"What's this?" I said referring to the flowers in his hand.
"They're for you."
I smiled. "Aw thank you babe."
He sat in the chair in front of my desk and asked if I was ready to go.
"In a few. Let me just finish this page."
"What are you working on?"
"A proposal for a new client."
"Oh really?"
"Mhm he plays for the 49ers." I said closing up the files on my desk. I brushed off my skirt and closed my blinds.
When I got home I got Tremaine's message. He’s really interested in getting to know me and the feeling is mutual. I picked up Cameron from daycare along with some take out Chinese food. I walked to the door and took my key out to open it then I closed it when I got inside.

Javaughn:
Amaya asked if I was ready to go as she organized her office. I nodded we went to dinner at a local cafe by her office.
I was really enjoying our time together and I think I might actually love her. Once I dropped her off at home I made my way to my apartment. When I got inside I flipped the TV to ESPN and went to change out of my work clothes.
Corahn: aye bro somebody following me idk what to do.
Me: you driving or walkin?
Corahn: driving
Me: try to loose them
I replied. Corahn was probably just overreacting like he always did.

Corahn:
I walked out of the office building and into the parking garage. I got into the elevator and pressed the fourth floor. I got into my car and drove out of the garage. A few blocks down I noticed a car with bright headlight behind me. I squinted my eyes and changed lanes, they changed lane too. I sighed an switched back over, they did too. I sent a quick text to Javaughn to let him know what's up. I'm not gonna lie I was a little scared cause this shit didn't seem normal.

Melanie:
"Mom!" I called from my old bedroom. I was still at my parents house and I actually enjoyed it through my pregnancy.
My mom walked into the room and asked what I needed.
"I think I'm having contractions."
"Okay okay let me get your stuff, head to the car."
I nodded and grabbed a jacket and walked to the car. I tried to call Corahn but It went straight to voice mail.
"Dammit." I said aloud as a tried to open the car door but it was locked.
"Ma come on!" I said holding my stomach.
She walked out and clicked the car handle to unlock it. After about twenty minutes we made it to the hospital and they had given me my room.
I called Corahn a few more times but they all went to voice mail.

Corahn:
I drove a few more blocks passing my house an they still followed behind. I wasn't stupid enough to go straight home, I need help so I kept driving to Javaughn's house. I parked in the visitor spot and got out. I notice I had lost the car at the gate entrance. I sighed relieved and walked up to Javaughn's door. I walked through the hallway and I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and no one was there. I kept walking and I head it again. I quickly tuned around and two guys stood all dressed in black.
"Corahn... Corahn... Corahn..."
"Uh yes?"
"Didn't anyone ever tell you not to mess with a girl with a big brother."
I was confused because Melanie said she didn't have any brothers, that it was just her and Amaya.
"Whose your sister?"
"Chrishelle nigga."
I sighed I should've known her crazy ass would have something to do with this.
"Look I don't know what she told you but she told me I'm not the daddy, so if any one should feel hurt it's me."
"Nah nigga she hurt so we gotta hurt you."
He stared at me for a while and then he pulled something from his jacket pocket. I noticed what it was right away, I turned around and started to run but the damage was already done.
