I Cant Miss - Chapter 154 Home Game

After the game, Coach Andre told us that we would be heading back to our home base for a home game which was in Japan, everybody was excited to go back to their rooms and houses again. Paige was a little bit worried because I seemed down after that whole mission thing happened. I was beating myself up a little bit because I felt like I had failed the mission.

If I had gotten caught, I probably would have been dead by now. And I didn’t come back in time to die a useless death without changing the world. I was going to change the world playing sports, and business will play a big part in it too. I couldn’t wait for what the future held; after a few sessions with Paige, I was able to relax a little and calm my nerves down.

I’ve gotten anxious after what happened in our last mission, losing Dan, it took a mental toll on me. Sometimes my anxiety would kick in, causing me to freak out about little things, but I can’t help it right now, I know with time it will slowly get better…hopefully.

The next day we finally boarded the plane and headed out of Russia. Thank God, that was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. Not worse than losing my brother in arms, but I knew that I wouldn’t want to go to Russia again unless we had a game.

We finally made our way back to Japan, and I had parted ways with the team as I went back to my small dorm room. I was mentally exhausted, so after unpacking my things, I went straight to bed.

In the morning, when I woke up, I felt something soft next to me, I reached out to grab it and heard soft muffled moaning. Before I could react, I listened to a woman’s soft voice telling me to relax. When I turned my body to face this woman, it was none other than my goddess Paige, naked, in my bed looking incredibly mesmerizing. She laughed when she saw the dazed look in my eyes.

After having some morning ‘fun,’ we freshened up and headed to the gym to get some training in. The coach was pushing the team extra hard since he didn’t want to leave everything on me. Come playoff time. We needed to have several ‘weapons’ in case I was injured and to help lessen the burden on my shoulders.

Coach then went on to tell us about the Australian military basketball team who would be in town this time around. We will be playing against them, and Coach Andre informed us that they were one of the weaker teams in the league, so I probably wouldn’t have to play at all during this game. But Still, if push comes to shove, he’ll put me in for a few minutes just to get us the lead. I simply nodded; I had little to no choice but to follow every order that the military gave me.

They had even drafted me to the NBA without even letting me know; this was done to bring in a lot of militant personnel. Only because an NBA celebrity coming from a military background would inspire a lot of kids who look up to their favorite player and want to be just like them and join the military in hopes of experiencing what I experienced.

Still, they would never be able to experience what I experienced, since my case was a very particular one.

Hmmm…The lottery pick was also coming up soon, and I wondered who will pick up the number one player to come into the NBA draft this year.

Back at home Rasta and the rest of the family were also getting prepared for the draft as they were getting in contact with a lot of companies who were looking to advertise themselves. As they all wanted a piece of the number one prospect. Rasta was so overwhelmed with work that he had to get the other family members to help out, I heard Flo still wasn’t around, and Opal was busy training Isabella. So that only left Ivy, the only person that wasn’t so busy, Rasta still had bad blood with Ivy due to what she had done to me in the past, but business is business, and he desperately needed help managing all the affairs.

Rihanna was busy with the record label as they were still having the building built, the contractors were all working hard and getting paid well too. We needed to finish this project on time as all our artists had at least two albums to release now. I had provided all our artists with their future lyrics and even gave them the beats before I left, so all they had to do was lay out the tracks and then put them all together into an album. They all seemed very grateful for what I did for them as they didn’t even have to come up with the songs, all they had to do was be the face and voice of the music that I provided for them, which by all means made their start to the industry an easy one.

However, still, they were working hard on their stuff to come up with new music on their own and building an album. Now that we’re ahead of the pack in the music business, all we had to do was wait for the grand opening as we went through all kinds of hurdles to get to where we are. I still have a wish to add more artists to the label, but that’s going to have to wait a while.

Meanwhile, Sandra was still in college, finishing up her last exams and getting ready for summer classes as she wanted to hurry up and finish school early. She seemed dead set on helping me out, as she wanted to become a doctor for me. I laughed when she had told me this. Still, she seemed pretty serious, so I just had to support my Lil baby, I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss her and my family. I told her not to overwork herself and take it easy.

My crew at home were mostly in college, which was paid for through all the tournaments we had won and the investments I had made for them, so they were lucky enough to have that off their backs. I feel grateful for these friends of mine; they have all been my most excellent support and are like family to me.
