During the game, the coach called for a huttle. He told them tthat in order for them to resally win the game, somebody got to block Josh Smith and Joe Johnson. Coach Cheeks also told them to keep a watch on the defense holes. They broke out and went back to work. Everybody worked to keep the Hawks from burying them again. But the big whammie came when AI broke Josh Smith's ankles to pieces. Not once but two times. It was an awesome game indeed. It hurt Shay to see them lose but it was only fair. After the game was over, she saw the players head out to the locker room and greet-n-meet the fans. Allen would probably have to call up to make sure taht Shay got down to where he was. He knew she would be too scared to ocme by herself. While Shay was sipping some wine and still reading her card over and over, the bodyguards got the call. They told her that Allen wanted her to meet him out back to make sure no one saw them. She grabbed her flowers and followed them out. There was another series of steps and hallways that she had to go through. More so this time than the first. Her feet were tingling by the time they got back to the two double doors in the rear of the stadium. At the opening of the doors, they h urried her into the limo. Allen was not there but she knew he would meet her whereever the driver was taking her. The same butterflies came back. What was he going to do this time? He had already done so much. The driver stopped at the Westin Peachtree Plaza. There were some beautiful hotels in Atlanta but this one was by far was the most beautiful. The host who met her told her, "Hello, Miss Laurens. We have been expecting you." _________________ Love is not love until it is given away.

God bless you.
Shay's eyes were as big as melons. The beauty of the hotel basically stole your breath. The gold and the pearls that dressed this place came from all over the world as told by her guide. The staff was dressed in burgundy uniforms with dots of gold embedded into them. And they were also extremely friendly. As they approach the gold/crystal elevator, she kept seeing staff members running all over the place. Shay thought maybe they were trying to attend to some of the basketball players but she didn't see anybody. Her room was located on the hundredth floor. Shay's stomach was in knots. She wobbled a bit as she followed in behind her guide. The room was at the end of thehall taht had double doors. Her guide took the key card and opened the door. The air from the room gently grabbed her. The smell of the apartment/bedroom sent her mind to another place. Shayla thought she was somewhere in the country where there were peach orchards everywhere. Decorated in peach colored roses from the chairs at the dinner table to the rose petals on the bed, the room was the physical manifestation of love. The room showed her that she was truly loved. Shayla was in tears. Her guide asked her was she okay. She replied that she was. He lifted her hands and puts in her hands the keycard. He told her, "You have a wonderful night, ma'am." "Thank you, sir," she said through her tears. _________________ Love is not love until it is given away.

It's good to be an Allstar athelete. You are able to get certain privileges that other atheletes may not get. And this was one of them. It had beena while since he had seen Shay. So tonight was going to be special. He hoped that she would find the lingerie that he had for her. He couldn't wait to see and feel every curve. It would feel so good to just be near her again. It seems that the driver could not get to the hotel any sooner. Once he pulled up to the hotel, Sllen started rubbing his hands together in heavy anticipation. He almost ran over the host and the doorkeeper. Allen's guides had to keep up with him; he was in sucha hurry. By the time he got to his room, his guides had completely run out of breath. He looked back at them and smiled while unlocking his door. He called for Shay but got no answer. The living room, teh dining room, and the patio was all checked. No answer. Finally, he bursted through th bedroom door. And there she was. "Hi, Allen." Allen flashed his beautiful smile at her as he threw his sports jacket to the ground. The lingerie he bought was soon on the ground with the jacket. Allen embraced her cocoa skin. The feeling that he felt was something that he could not totally put into words. It had been a while since he ahd seen her asnad held her. To be near her was like being in heaven. When was the last tiem he felt like this? Feeling love and being in love. _________________ Love is not love until it is given away.

The next mroning, Shay woke up with Allen's arms around her. It felt good having him near her again. His strong chest and comforting and his arms warm and inviting. Her sleeping giant never stirred. Shayla just soaked up this moment for all its worth. It wasn't all the time that she got to spend her mornings like this. She knew he had to leave soon. That broke her heart yet she knew it wass something that could not be avoided. He had a plane to catch. He had a job to do. It was what he did to feed his family. To support himself. And hopefully one day her. Itw as time to wake him but not beofre she felt her face go warm. Saying goodbye was going to be too hard. She did not want this. A tear slid from her eye and it landed on his chest. She saw his eyes twitch. Soon his eyes fluttered. Shayla swallowed real hard. Allen finally looked at her. "Hey baby." "Hey," she whispered. He kissed her while looking at the clock. It was eight fifteen. His plane would leave at four. Gruffly he said, "You've been crying." She didn't respond. He caressed her face. "I know that you don't want me to leave but you know that I don't want to leave you. Every moment I get with you I cherish." She choked back tears. These days are hard. She wrapped her arms around him tightly. He told her, "Shay, I love you. And I want you with me. Come stay with me, please. That way you will never be without me." Her world was spinning. The only thing that seem to be sitting still was her and him. How could she say no to him? Her life was changing and fast. _________________ Love is not love until it is given away.

He couldn't be serious but he was. He heard the words come out of his mouth. He had propsed this to her before but it is something about hime asking her for thesecond time. This was a little too fast. Allen knew how he felt about her. He just could not stand to not be near her any more. She in one place and him in another. The flying back and forth. And the phone bills...Something had to give. He told her, "You can come home with me after you graduate." They were getting dressed as they talked . "I know...it's just...." "Its different for you I know but just take a chance." "What will I do about my house? I've only been there for a year and a half. I hate to sell it." "Give it to your brother." "My brother? He doesn't need that much responsibility right now." "Or it might give him some if he doesn't have any." Shay looked at Allen and sighed. "He already has a lot going on. There's homework, band practice, his friends....." "Look, look, look....the boy is going to have his own spot one day anyway so give him yours." "But the mortage I...." "I'll handle it." "Allen..." "What I say?" She knew that ended the conversation. When the foot goes down, it stays down. _________________ Love is not love until it is given away.
