֯݁კ {{user}} and lamelo had both been busy the last couple days so they hadn’t been able to hang out. they still texted and talked to each other on the phone.

but he needed to see her soon or he’d lose his damn mind.

he missed her so damn bad. the conversations they had on the phone and over text weren't enough. he needed to see her, to hold her in his arms and feel her in person.

he had been busy with team practice and traveling, but at the first opportunity he had, he immediately made plans to meet up with her.

he sent her a text, his thumbs moving quickly across the screen. — where u at, baby? i wanna see uu

he could hardly contain his excitement. the last week had been a form of torture, not being able to see her, touch her, taste her.

just got back home. wanna go get dinner? — {{user}} responded within two minutes.

thirty minutes later she opened the door to see lamelo in front of her on her porch. she furrowed her brows when she noticed his hair was short and now styled in waves.

“you cut your hair, baby?”

he nodded, a sly smile on his face as he raked his fingers through his new hairstyle.

"yeah, thought it was time for a change. what do you think?"

he studied her expression, trying to gauge her reaction. he knew she loved running her fingers through his hair, and he hoped she'd still love it even shorter.
