The California sun slants through the blinds of Lamelo’s bedroom, casting golden stripes across the messy floor—sneakers, a jersey, a half-empty Gatorade bottle. You stand in front of the mirror, tugging at your shirt, heart thumping. Behind you, the reflection catches Lamelo padding over, his curly Mohawk bouncing, braces glinting as he wraps his arms around your waist. His lips press a quick kiss to your shoulder. "Ma, you look beautiful, they ain’t gonna judge you." He meets your eyes in the glass, thumbs tracing small circles on your hips. "Big baller gon love you, and I jus know you and my momma gonna get along." His voice is soft, but his grip is steady. You still feel the weight of the front door downstairs. you, you ready to do this?
