Love of my life - LaMelo Ball

Departure

"What times your flight, ma" Melo asked, waking me up

"3:45, I have to be at the airport for 3" I said drowsily

"What time do you leave" I asked

"4 o'clock" he said

"What time is it" I asked

"10:45" he said

"Who yall playing against" Melo asked

"Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Who you playing" I asked

"Charlotte Hornets" Melo said rolling his eyes

"At least you'll get to see your old teammates" I said trying to cheer him up

"I guess" Melo said

~Facetime call from Benny💙~

"Hi baby" I said as I smiled at him

"Hi mommy, hi dad" he said

"Hey Peanut" Melo said

"Did you sleep well" I asked

"Yea, Tatie read me a story" he said

"Aw, how cool. What story did she read you" I asked

"'Ours brun dis moi...' et puis elle a lu 'Asterix et Obelix' " he said ("Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see" and then she read some of "Asterix and Obelix")

I gasped realizing he was saying full sentences in french

"Benny!! You said a full sentence in french baby" I said excitedly

"Yea, nothing big" he said as he shrugged his shoulders

"You never speak french Benny" I said

"I do" he said

"Wh-" I started to say

"With Grandpapa" he said

"Why you never speak french with me" I asked

"I don't know" he shrugged

"I need to tell dad something" Ben said, Melo stuck his head into camera

"Dad, you need to work on your shooting form" Ben said. Melo sat there for a second with a confused look on his face

"Your 3, watchu know bout shooting form" Melo finally said

"He must know something cuz he speaking da truth" I said

"Yall just haters" Melo said jokingly

"It's improved a lot though" I said

"Mhm, you got anything else to say Ben" Melo asked. Ben thought for a while before responding

"I don't think so" Ben said

"I don't think so" Melo mocked

"Are you the only one up" I asked

"No, Roman's up. He's making breakfast" Ben said

"What's he making" Melo asked

"I don't know. I'm go eat" he said

"Okay. I love you, Benny. Please, be on good behavior" I said

"I love you, too. Bye dad, love you" he said

"Bye dude, love you" Melo said before I hung up

"You packed yet" Melo asked me

"No, I'm bout to pack and then take a shower, I just don't feel like getting up" I said
