Chapter 215 - Dan Is Happy

I played with Danny a little bit before I ordered some food to be delivered to the house. Lizzy couldn't believe the amount of money she had in her hand, it was half a million even the check that the military had offered her was nothing compared to this check. The military had offered her $50,000 and she knew that even though that was not enough it would have helped her a lot.

She couldn't even afford formula for the baby that's why she was always shirtless and brėȧstfeeding Danny. She always had an evacuation notice all over her door, she told me that I had just come right on time as they would have been homeless after the following week since she couldn't afford to pay the mortgage.

She cried and cried, thanking me. I asked her whether she wanted to move to Maryland. She shook her head and said" Dan and I bought this house. It means a lot to us so I want to raise my child in this house, I understood what she was saying and didn't argue.

After some time there I told her we had to go and that will be back soon another time, she will certainly be seeing me on the news and if she didn't believe me about the check I told her I could take her to the bank right now to cash it and she quickly agreed as she didn't have money to even take a cab.

She bowed down as my coat dropped from her back causing her huge ċhėst to hang as I quickly helped her up again. 

"You really need to stop revealing yourself to people and wear more clothes. I'm still a man and what you keep displaying shouldn't be displayed" I quickly told her.

She laughed and said" oh I didn't know they still had an effect on men" 

She looked down and could see she really was having an effect on me as she started to laugh out loud.

She went to get dressed and we quickly made a round trip as the check was deposited in her account and was made available to her. Lizzy had never seen this amount in her life or even in her account so seeing that amount had shocked her. The bank I told her that it would be available after 3 days but she had $500 available now for her to use.

She got on her knees and continuously kept thanking me as I pulled her up and said "there's no problem, Dan was a brother to me and we survived out there thanks to him so his child and his wife and family deserve the best".

After making sure she was okay Isabella and I left as we continued to tour around Utah and went back to visit Lizzy one more time before leaving and that was 5 days later. When we got there the house had completely changed, the grass was cut, there was construction going on and Lizzy looked way different from when I saw her before.

She had a maid helping around the house as that maid brought Danny to me. I thanked her as I continued to play with her. Lizzy continued to thank me and said "God will surely bless you, thank you for being a brother to Dan. I know he will surely be happy in heaven after seeing what you have done for us".

After spending some time with Dan's family we decided it was time to leave. I started to look up tournaments, father-daughter tournaments. I wanted to spend some time with Isabella on the court as I knew I was going to be busy during the NBA season. She got excited about this and we finally found one in New York City.

She was so excited and she had never been to New York before. We finally booked the flight and headed straight there as the tournament will begin the next day. We did registrations online and as soon as we got there we were able to book a hotel and get some rest.

The next day we got to the venue all geared up. I had on some Jordans with some Jordan shorts and the Jordan tank top. I couldn't wait to get my own brand and I had gotten Isabella the same kind of gear but pink in color mine was black and red.

And I was rocking the Jordan sixes.

We stepped on the court fresh as hell, unfortunately there were not too many people who wanted to see the father daughter tournaments but there was still a small crowd there.

They had cameras set up to record it, which surprised me. Normally they wouldn't record something small like this as only a few people showed up to register for it. There were about 10 teams including ours, so they were going to do it in a tournament style which I had no problem with.

Our first opponent was a short guy about five six and his daughter who looked to be about the age of five.

The rules of the contest was the ȧduŀts could be any age but the daughters had to be 10 and under.

Isabella was 5 now and she had stretched out ever since she started playing basketball so she looked like she was seven now which I didn't really mind. 

The game had finally started as our opponents got the ball first. The father passed it to the daughter and the daughter passed it back to the father and she ran in the post as her father tossed up a lob and the girl caught it and laid it in, quite a nice teamwork I must say. I was quite impressed with their teamwork.

They had the ball once again as they checked it up, the father passed it to the daughter the daughter tried to run by Isabella but this time Isabella had her guard up and she didn't allow her to do anything much so being stuck she had to stop and look for her father to pass it otherwise if she moved again she would be called for a traveling. She passed it over to her father but I intercepted it and passed it to Isabella who ran up and laid it up as the crowd started cheering at our teamwork.
