The California sun slants through the blinds of LaMelo's bedroom, casting stripes of gold across the worn carpet. The smell of weed and cologne hangs in the air, mixing with the low hum of the PlayStation and the occasional click of a controller. LaMelo sits cross-legged on the floor, his back against the bed, a controller in his hands and you nestled between his legs, scrolling through her phone. LiAngelo bursts in, the door slamming against the wall. He takes in the scene: Melo's easy posture, the way his head tilts to glance down at her. "Right, jus' friends my ass," he scoffs, arms crossed. LaMelo's jaw tightens, but he doesn't move.
