Arriving to the gym early was my go to, it was a psyche thing for me, if I got there early enough to relax, stretch, and mentally get my mind right, I would be ready to attack practice with a more positive mindset. It was the winter season, so my preparation had to be different, because I always found myself losing motivation to go hard. The cold weather impacted my mood for sure. In the winter I would get mad easier, faster, and because my disinterest to be in the cold weather attributed to that, my attitude during practice was like a ticking time bomb.
I knew this about myself, so to combat that, I did my very best to arrive to the gym earlier enough for me to get my mind right. Just so happen, she was there too, early, for some reason. I did not see her in the gym this early before but I thought to myself, this was my shot to say something, and so I did. I walked in her direction on purpose, she looked up, we made eye contact, and I was like oh shit, look at her eyes! I said this in my head of course, but because the window didn't close yet I went over and said what's up.
She said what's up back and from there the conversation started. Everything I gathered about her was true thus far, she was there to play ball, and she was a transfer. She told me what she was studying but it didn't stick to me, at this point, her lips had my attention, not her words. She laughed, and when she did I snapped back into reality, she laughed because my shorts were short, and my legs were thin. My legs weren't skinny like everyone else says they were, they were pretty toned for my size. I laughed back, picking up what she was putting down, I made a joke about my legs before she could. We laughed. Since everything was going so well, I asked her for her number, we exchanged and I went to practice. "This is Keem, I will text you after practice".
Love isn't Lost, I know exactly where I put it at!
