The Other Side *A Blake Griffin FanFic*

Oklahoma Friends

Brielle was sick to her stomach after the game in Denver. She watched as Crawford’s three point attempt missed and the Clippers fell to the Nuggets 109-106 after fighting back the entire game. They now had an 18-8 record after getting two wins at home before flying to Denver. 

Blake was pretty quiet on the flight home as were the other players. Jada, Chelsea, and Brielle sat in a row together talking about the gender reveal that was coming up in the next couple days. The girls were doing everything they could to get Brielle to slip and mention a color or some other way they would know what she was having. In the end Brielle stuck to her guns and didn’t let anything slip. 

They finally landed at LAX and the girls all reluctantly went back to their guys. Brielle followed Blake off the plane and to Blake’s car. He loaded his bag in the back and slid into the driver’s seat as Brielle got in the passenger seat. 

He reached over and grabbed her hand lacing their fingers together as he started the engine and headed out of the airport. 

“I’m sorry we didn’t win,” Blake said breaking the silence. 

“It’s okay Blake. I know how it goes. You can’t win them all,” Brielle smiled at him. 

“I know, but I wanted to win especially since it was an away game and you were there,” Blake sighed. 

Brielle was fighting the tears that were threatening to fall. She was so touched that he was the reason why he was upset over the loss. Damn hormones. 

The rest of the car ride home was pretty quiet. The two made small talk about the next game. Blake had a couple surprises for her that he was dying to tell her about, but held back knowing how happy it would make her when they were revealed. 

“I need you to go and pick up my parents at the airport tomorrow, if you can,” Blake said as they were getting ready for bed.

“Oh are they getting in while you’re at shoot around?” Brielle asked pulling the covers back and sliding into bed. 

“Yeah. Marieka has plans already and Taylor is gonna be with me,” Blake explained trying to come up with a somewhat believable story. 

“Yeah I can go get them. What time do they get here?”

“Eleven and they’re coming in on Delta,” Blake said sliding under the covers next to her. 

“Okay,” Brielle sighed. She reached over and set her alarm just in case she overslept. 

“I love you beautiful,” Blake whispered planting a sweet kiss on her lips. 

“I love you too,” Brielle smiled at him. 

The next morning Blake got up checking his phone to make sure everything was set for what Brielle was really doing at the airport. He grabbed his bag and unpacked what was still in there from last night’s game and tossed in what he needed for tonight’s game. 

He carried his bag downstairs setting it on the couch before walking into the kitchen. Lately Brielle’s breakfast of choice was broken up chocolate doughnuts in milk with cut up strawberries. Blake grimaced as he threw it together for her and carried it back upstairs. Setting the bowl on the table he gently sat down next to her and planted a sweet kiss on her forehead.
