4 Blackpool

After Paige introduced the whole bench they waved at me and welcomed me wholeheartedly while Paige came up to me and said "look here I"m the captain of this team, I know you are hot s.h.i.+t back in the States but this right here is my team and I"m in charge of it. You listen to every command I give or go become a bench player".
I frowned after she took that tone with me and said:" I"m not looking to make friends over here I just want to do my time and leave, if you want to win the big cup then all you have to do is pa.s.s me the ball and I"ll guarantee that I"ll make it every single time".
Paige was shocked by this and just laughed it off and said: "how cute you think you can make every shot who do you think you are"? I responded by saying" I"m the best alive if you choose to not pa.s.s it to me you guys will end up losers once again, you guys haven"t even made it to the playoffs and are still talking about the finals. You guys have never even seen that but I"ve seen all of those. I know how it feels to pop the champagne and I"m sure you guys want to do that too, so depend on me now and surely I can live up to my name".
Paige stretched out her hand and I did the same as I grabbed it and shook her hand. Paige then said," you got s.p.u.n.k kid let"s see how you handle the hardwood". Paige quickly asked the coach to set up a game between the bench and the starters. We quickly gathered and started a game, during the game Paige wasn"t pa.s.sing me the ball.
I thought to myself, didn"t we just shake on it that she would pa.s.s me the ball, so I approached her to ask her how come I"m not touching the ball? she responded by saying" you have to see how we play first before I hand you the ball" and I asked her what if I"m open then I will pa.s.s you the ball?
Paige finally gave in and nodded her head, the game went on and we were up by 10 points. The bench was terrible and now I knew why they hadn"t won a single cup ever. During the game, she was explaining to me how the schedule worked.
They went around the world playing different groups of military basketball teams. They played the Air Force, The Marines, and The Navy. They also play against other countries" military forces. All the forces pull together and put up a certain amount every year which comes up to about half a million dollars.
The winner of the cup takes it all home, they had never won that cup before but every year they still had to pay for the cup pool. Paige then told me that Coach Andre said I was hot s.h.i.+t so this year we might win that money. I got a little excited about winning some money and quickly told her "I"m fine we"re definitely going in this money so hurry up and pa.s.s me the d.a.m.n ball".
Paige started laughing as they started another play, she was pretty fast for a female and was able to get by her defender every time. I had finally gotten s.p.a.ce and left my defender since I hadn"t gotten the ball game they were sleeping on me and didn"t even take me seriously. Paige quickly pa.s.sed me the ball as I was wide open and I took the shot, shocking everybody as it went through the hoop "swish".
The coach had stars in his eyes as he was like" yep we"re going to win this cup this year" but Paige still wasn"t convinced so just she decided to run a few more plays with me. I got open once again as I stepped behind my center who set a pick for me and took the shot right away another "swish".
Paige was starting to have fun since her a.s.sist numbers were racking up high. Paige loved getting a.s.sists, that was the kind of person she was but due to the team doing terribly she was forced to take more shots but this time with a true shooting guard she can relax and use her playmaking skills.
The game continued, at this point, the bench was losing so badly that they just gave up as Paige said: "yeah that"s enough, I"ve seen enough of this guy"s skills and he truly can"t miss welcome to the team buddy". Everybody started clapping as they thought the cop was already in their hands and they were going to win it this year with me on the team.
After the game, Paige invited me to come to have dinner with her while talking about the upcoming games and bringing me into the loop. At first, I was a little bit hesitant because the baby girl had a body on her and one or two drinks will have me forgetting about my ladies at home but I accepted it and told her no drinks, she said that"s fine and turned around and left with a frown.
Paige said to herself "he must have a woman, he certainly is cute, the type of person I would totally date, I need to get to know him or maybe he"s single" she was blus.h.i.+ng while walking away. After doing a few drills we all ended the practice and headed to the locker rooms to freshen up.
I decided to take a shower in the locker room, while I was taking a shower one of the guys had came in the shower without me knowing and he was like "nice pole" shocking me as I said "hey I don"t roll that way" he laughed and said" don"t worry the girls wanted to find out if you were packing or not and it seems like you are the guy" he blushed after saying that.
I said "okay buddy if you have seen enough please leave me in peace because I don"t swing that way and I don"t have anything against you guys but you guys need to keep it away from me" the guy laughed and left the place as I thought I was about to get b.u.t.t raped.
