Super Secret Dinner Date With A Blue-Eyed Goddess: A Forbidden Love Story
Basketball Diaries
I’m staring into the baby blue eyes of a goddess; my dinner date, Courtney. We are posted up at Mr. Ghetti’s, an Italian restaurant located in Spartanburg, SC.
Sparkle City is a 30-minute drive away from home. We can do what isn’t possible for us in our small rural town: have dinner in a public setting.
Courtney’s parents couldn’t phantom the idea of their sweet baby girl dating and loving a hood brother from Ledbetter Road.
But I digress.
The thing I love about Mr. Ghetti’s, check that, two things. The unlimited pizza buffet and the $1 pitchers of draft beer. This is Court’s favorite restaurant, but my first time.
“Are you nervous about the big game Friday night?”
“No, I think if we play to our capability we should win. Although I’m a bit apprehensive about playing on their home court. I don’t believe it’s fair to play on the other team’s home court with so much at stake.”
“Wow, I never thought about it that way. If we could play all the games that determined who went to regionals on our home court it would be a huge advantage.”
