🎤🎤Back then when I was a baby girl.
I was yours and
you were my world
Tell me what you wanna
do to me now
Take me down I would hold you to that and I will give it🎤🎤

Violet's POV

"Violet Phoenix!" She screamed.

"Sage Cherry Pheonix" I screamed back.

"Come" She beckoned me.

"Why? I'm so tired" I whined.

"Mom's on the phone" She said.

"She coulda called me" I said as I walked over to Sage and collected the phone.

Conversation starts

Mom: Sweetheart, good morning.

Me: Morning mom.

Mom: How are you feeling today?

Me: Good. You?

Mom: Very well. I'm pleased to hear your voice.

Me: You heard this same sweet voice yesterday.

Mom: I know. I almost forgot. You should go to the estate. You know... play basketball, make friends... have fun generally.

Me: Thanks mom.

Mom: My regards to Mike.

Me: Who's Mike?

Mom: Gotta go. Very busy.

Why was mom so sure I'd be friends with whosoever Mike is??

Who ever "Mike" is, must be very... Ugh...

"Sage! I'm going to the estate to play some b-ball" I said.

"Yeah. I'll be here." She said scrolling through her tiktok.

This girl and tiktok eh º_º

She'll never make a video all she does is scroll through it.

But her instagram?! All the time... Live... She practically lives in Instagram.

I walked a while till I got to the basketball court.

That walk was an exercise...

Phew...

I sat down in the bleachers and relaxed.

I closed my eyes and tilted my head backwards as I enjoyed the breeze.

Until...

"Hey, you good? Here..." He said stretching a bottle.

"Take some water, you look famished" He said with a smile.

"Thanks." I said and collected the bottle and drank some water.

"You really just drank a bottle of water from a stranger" He said with a playful smirk.

"That water was drugged" He deadpanned.

"Wait, what?! You're joking right?" I asked as my heart raced.

He looked so serious and I felt so weak.

Then he smiled.

"Bro chill" He said laughing so hard.

"I was just pulling your legs" He said smiling.

"That was harsh" I said and punched him.

"Ouuuu... that hurt" He said rubbing his arm.

"But you should have seen your face, it was so priceless" He said and chuckled.

"Whatever" I said dismissively.

"Hey, do you know anyone here bearing Mike" I asked with a frown.

"Yeah, what's up" He asked.

"Well my mom said I should talk to the guy... She was sounding like he's someone I'm supposed to know" I said with disgust.

"You sure hate Mike" He said smiling widely.

"Oh my, so sorry. I'm Violet" I said.

How come I didn't introduce myself to this friendly stranger here.

"Its no problem" He said.

Eh...

"You are?" I asked.

"Hmmmm... Let's see. You beat me at b-ball and you get to know my name... But if vice versa you talk to that Mike guy" He said.

That Mike again...

Ughhhh...

We got on the court and started balling.

Three pointer.

Slam dunk!

Alley-Oop.

And One.

Automatic.

Buzzer Beater.

Air hop.

"You're good" He said at the end of the game.

"Be sincere, I'm perfect" I said with pride.

"My fault for complimenting" He said and sighed dramatically.

"Where did I get you from?" I said and laughed.

He was so free to be with and I was beginning to trust him.

"Like two hours ago. When you opened your eyes on this court. Today." He said stating the obvious.

I just rolled my eyes at him.

"Who won?" I asked.

"The best baller" He said with a smile.

"Awnnnnn... thanks" I said as I collected the face towel he gave me.

"I'm Mike" He said.

"What? You can't be 'The' Mike" I said.

"Well I am" He said with pride.

"Thank gawdddddd. You're not as bad as I expected" I said.

"Yeah. Me neither" He said.

He was also told about me?

"Your mom and mine are business associates" He said.

"So that means she works all the time" I stated.

"Obviously.... have you met mom" My subconscious asked me.

"Duh... yes" He said.

"So where do you live" He asked.

"Opposite your house" He said.

"That's nice. I'll be getting to see more of you" I said.

"Yeah." I said as we stopped at my house.

"See you around?"

"Yeah" I said and turned around almost immediately.

"Hey, your digits" He asked with a cocky smile.

"Okay... +1213****** bye" I said.

ººººººººººººººººººººººº

Mike's POV

I got to my room and I just couldn't stop thinking about her. I remembered mom's words.

Make her feel comfortable.

I can't believe she didn't know me. Most girls practically fight to walk me. She talked about me with so much disregard.

Ughhhhhh...

Pride, pride, pride....

But she's cool and a very good baller...

I'm really hoping to see her more.

Obviously she lives opposite my house so I'd be seeing a lot of her.

Mom would ensure that...

"Mike baby... come downstairs for dinner" Elina said.

Elina... My personal maid and the one person that could read me like a book...
