_____The summer of 1999 marked my rookie year in the WNBA and I remember being really excited. I was not your atypical rookie. I wasn't drafted into the league directly from college. At the time I was 28 years old and spent the last five years after graduate school working as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley. The economy was booming and I managed several multi-million dollar accounts for various investors. I worked about 16 hours a day. This included the time I spent wining and dining clients while sitting in the luxury skybox seats watching the Knicks play at the Garden. At the games, my mind would drift from business to the times I spent playing basketball in high school and college.
_____I had always dreamt of playing basketball professionally, but the only opportunities that were available when I completed my bachelor's degree in 1993 were not in this country. So, I opted to attend graduate school at Georgetown and pursue a career in business while a lot of my friends went to play basketball in Italy, France, Spain, Japan, Israel and other foreign countries.
_____When the league began in 1997, a number of my buddies decided to return from playing ball overseas to play in the United States. The starting salaries were only $45,000 a year and I was making more than three times that amount. Joining the league, at that point, was out of the question. However, with a professional league now in the U.S., I decided that it was time to pursue my dream. I outlined a two-year plan that would prepare me both financially and physically. I saved all the cash I got my hands on and the little free time I had I used to work myself back into basketball shape.
_____In the spring of 1999 I sent a letter that detailed my desire to play professional ball to the new coach of the New Jersey Lightening and she invited me to attend an open tryout. She remembered my undergraduate days as an all conference player at Duke and was happy to extend the invitation. The team was saturated with guards and I knew my 6'0" sinewy frame would be a welcomed addition. The open tryout lasted five days. When the final cuts were announced I held my breath, but rejoiced shortly thereafter when I realized I made the team. Immediately I requested and was granted a five-month leave of absence from my firm.
_____Training camp was rough; running all of those suicide drills damn near killed me. Not to mention the weight lifting and double practice days. I enjoyed great camaraderie with my new teammates. In fact, I wore my long dark brown hair in cornrows similar to the style worn by one of the league's finest players, our star point guard, Alicia Featherswoon. I competed against most of my other teammates in college, so they really respected my game.
_____Alicia and I became good friends rather quickly. She helped me get into great shape. I would meet her every morning at 5a.m. at the New York Sports Club in mid-town Manhattan and we would run laps on the track, lift weights, swim, and do at least 250 sit-ups and push-ups. She was 34 at the time and I could hardly keep up with her. She was in phenomenal shape. You could see the muscle definition in her arms without her flexing her biceps. After working out we would shower and head to my place on 72nd street and Central Park West, eat a healthy lunch and hang out or take a quick nap before our daily afternoon practices.
_____During practice, I was the recipient of many of her brilliant no look and behind the back passes. After receiving the ball from her I would glide to the hoop, gently release the ball and deliver one of my sweet finger roll lay-ups to the rim of the basket. She was very excited about my presence on the team and I felt honored to spend so much time with one of the true legends in women's basketball. When rooming assignments were listed for road games, I was extremely flattered when she asked me to be her roommate.
_____Alicia and I spent a good deal of time together but we talked mostly about basketball. I was so focused and determined to make the team, I never really thought about my new "co-workers", their personal lives and their relationships. I never even asked Alicia much about her family and didn't know if she was seeing someone. My prior experience taught me that it was best if things were always kept professional. Shit, when I worked as an investment banker, none of us had a life outside of our jobs. We worked long, hard hours and the business was so cut throat that we really didn't trust or care to know each other socially. For me there was one exception. His name was Gerald. He was the only other African-American in my division and he sat at a desk two rows away from me. Gerald was married, but I'd sex that motherfucker plenty of late nights at the office, right in the women's bathroom or on the freight elevator that was hardly used. Sexually he was built for "quickies". I loved the feeling of his long, thick dick penetrating deep inside of me but he'd cum so damn fast at times, I had to restrain myself from smacking the shit out of him out of pure frustration and dissatisfaction.
_____Two weeks of training camp had literally flashed by, before I noticed that with the exception of three women on the team no one else spoke of that special man in her life. Also, the same women were consistently coming to pick up some of my teammates after practice. I wasn't naïve. Clearly I knew the deal. I played enough ball in high school and college to know that a good percentage of women who played were lesbians. I had my own "fun" with a woman while in college. I remember the morning I woke up, after a wild Kappa party, and found one of my sorority sisters sleeping beside me. We were both butt naked. So when June Picks' Asian girlfriend would come to pick her up after practice all I could do was smile whenever I watched 6'2" June damn near break her back to bend over to kiss her girl, who didn't even appear to be 5'0" tall. And when Nicki Jackson's woman came to get her, I had trouble figuring out who was more dominant in that relationship. They seemed more like sisters than lovers.
_____However, just before our first regular season game, I would learn that our point guard, Alicia, was by far the biggest stud on the team. The first game was on the road against the Los Angeles Sparks. We arrived in L.A. the night before the game and stayed at the Hyatt Regency about a half-mile away from the Great Western Forum. Alicia and I headed to our room to unpack and unwind after the long flight from New Jersey.
_____"Hey Dee you gonna hang out in the room tonight?" I remember Alicia asking me as I carefully hung up the DKNY black linen pants suit I packed to wear on game day.
_____"Nah, Alicia. I think I'm gonna catch up with Nicki and Maria to see if we can get a spades game going. I can play all night so don't wait up for me. And cover me if coach comes by trying to enforce some bullshit curfew" was the last thing I remember saying to her as I quickly searched my brown leather Fendi duffle bag looking for the deck of playing cards I got from the airport gift shop.
_____Shakeesh Worthington (another rookie) and myself teamed against Nicki and Maria and they proceeded to kick our ass. They ran a Boston on us two times! Convinced they were cheating I left Nicki and Maria's room three hours later and headed back to the suite I shared with Alicia.
_____I inserted my key card into the automated lock, turned the doorknob and slowly walked in. I hated losing at anything and was in a somber mood. I stopped short when I heard what sounded like the noise of a bed squeaking and a headboard slamming against the wall. The lights were on and I called out to Alicia but she didn't respond. When I heard the loud moans and sucking sounds I didn't know if I should quicken my pace toward the room or do an about face and exit.
_____"Ooooohhhhhhhh Alicia, baby, baby papapleeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz. Baby that feels so fuckin good" I heard the woman's voice shout.
_____Curiosity caused me to inch closer into the room. I walked past the bathroom door and turned the corner to the area where the two large queen size beds were. I stood a couple of feet away from the foot of the bed. They were in full view now. Alicia's head was buried between the long, perfectly toned legs of one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen. She was brown skinned and her red lipstick covered full lips looked so soft and sweet. Her breasts were full and firm. I barely resisted the urge to jump in and suck on one of her beautifully erect nipples. Her hair was dark brown and wavy, it drifted just past her shoulders. I moved in for an even closer look and froze when I realized that this woman was Tasha Hanks, the super model.
_____Tasha's eyes were closed and she was moaning loudly. Alicia's back faced me; she was wearing a white sports bra and a pair of white silk boxers. Their lovemaking was so intense; they didn't even realize I was in the room. Quickly I inched back to the area where the bathroom was so they wouldn't notice me. I peeked around the corner and watched the action intently. Tasha was leaning back against the headboard with her arms extended along the top of the mahogany board. Her beautifully manicured hands grabbed the posts located on each side of the bed. Her hips rocked back and forth as she humped Alicia's face. With each thrust forward into Alicia's mouth she would pull the board away from the wall and as she eased back the board would slam into the wall making a loud clapping sound. Along with the squeaking mattress, moaning and loud slurping sounds, it sounded as if I was listening to some wild, psychedelic, funky club music.
_____When Tasha's eyes opened she looked in my direction and grinned, flashing those beautiful brownish-green eyes and that smile that had made her millions of dollars. I wondered if she saw me. At that same moment, Alicia's attack on Tasha's pussy intensified. I watched Alicia suck and tongue Tasha's clit and when Alicia forced two, then three, then four fingers inside of Tasha's hole, my panties moistened. She pumped Tasha's pussy with her right hand as her left hand reached up to squeeze one of Tasha's juicy titties. Alicia's tongue was still working that clit as she hungrily slurped up all of Tasha's juices.
_____Tasha has the best set of tits I have ever seen. So when Alicia reached up to gently squeeze one of those firm brown melons, I placed my hand between my legs and began massaging my throbbing clit. For a few seconds I closed my eyes and moaned softly.
_____By the time I had opened my eyes again Alicia had placed a cast like object over the forefinger on her right hand, lubricated it with Tasha's juices and inserted her finger into Tasha's asshole. This drove Tasha crazy. Her back now laid flat against the mattress and her sexy long brown legs extended high in the air. Her body jerked wildly and my eyes took in all the action as I watched her beautiful breasts bounce around. She fucked Alicia's face and finger frantically. And Alicia did not miss a beat. While her finger pumped Tasha's ass her head moved up and down and around and deep into Tasha's pussy. I thought she was trying to climb inside of it. Tasha grabbed Alicia's long cornrows, and forced her face even deeper between her legs. Her moans had turned into screams as she wildly shook her head from side to side.
_____I found myself almost cheering for Alicia. She was fuckin the shit out of Tasha and I was lovin it. My heart was beating fast. However, nothing quite prepared me for what happened next. Tasha was on her hands and knees on the bed with her ass facing Alicia, who was on her knees in between Tasha's lovely legs. I watched Alicia reach over and grab the small container of KY jelly on the nightstand located between the two queen size beds. After placing her right hand in the container she reached down and stroked the elongated object in her boxers. I wondered what the fuck she was doing. It became apparent when she pulled the object through the front panel of her boxers. Her cock matched her tan complexion and seemed like it was a natural extension of herself. The shit was huge, had to have been at least 9 inches and it looked so thick. Alicia scooped out some more KY jelly and used it to oil Tasha's asshole. She put the head of her cock into Tasha's asshole and slowly moved her hips delivering every inch of that cock into Tasha's tight, round behind. My eyes had widened so much they began to tear. I must have looked like that sista on that phone commercial (you know the one where it looks like her eyes are going to jump out of her head). Tasha's ass bucked and rocked against Alicia's cock. Tasha dug her hands deep into the sheets and I could have sworn I heard them tear.
_____"You like that baby? Yeah..........I know you like this shit baby.......right?" Alicia asked.
_____"YES...OOOHHHHHHHH.............YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS" Tasha shrieked.
_____Alicia's hands gripped Tasha's ass firmly as she seemed to pull her onto and force all 9 inches of that cock inside of her. Tasha's pussy must have been on fire because I could see her juices streaming down her inner thighs as she used one hand to massage her clit. I could hear their skin smacking against each other. Tasha's back and neck were arched and she screamed loudly.
_____Two women fuckin doggy-style, I never even thought that was possible. So, without thinking I blurted out "DAMN". And I must have said it really loud because Alicia leaned back and looked directly at me. I was so nervous and embarrassed I turned and ran out of the room.
_____When I got into the hallway I continued to run to the bank of elevators. I took an elevator all the way down to the lobby. I didn't even know where I was gonna go. I felt like an ass and more than a little bit perverted for almost getting off on watching my friend and her woman go at it. I knew I couldn't go back to that room. I decided to sleep on the huge red sofa in the women's bathroom in the hotel lobby.
_____It was a little bit past five o'clock the next morning when I decided to inch back upstairs to the suite. The room smelled like sex, but I was relieved when I found it empty. Alicia had probably made her way to the hotel's 24-hour weight room or decided to go for a quick early morning run. I quickly took a shower, got dressed and packed my bags. By then, it was just 5:45am and I left the room before Alicia came back. When we arrived at the hotel the prior evening, our coaches told everyone to meet in front of our team bus by 11:00am. I had five hours to kill so I headed back to that bathroom in the lobby and hid out there to kill time and to try to come up with something that would explain my actions.
_____At about 10:30am I headed out to the lobby and ran right into our bus driver. He was going to pull the team bus around to the front entrance of the hotel. I walked with him and loaded my things onto the bus. I took a seat way in the back of the bus, put on my headphones and closed my eyes.
_____I heard the commotion as my teammates boarded the bus. Maria and Nicki were talking shit about beating Shakeesh and me at spades the previous night. I heard June, Roberta and Becky as they sat in the seats directly in front of me. I heard coach ask if it was it ok if we had our pre-game meal at Antonelli's an Italian restaurant that was near the Forum. Through all of this I kept my eyes sealed shut, fearing any interaction with Alicia. On the way to the restaurant I took a quick peek and saw that Alicia was sitting by herself in front of the bus and was really quiet.
_____We got out at Antonelli's and I avoided all contact with Alicia. I was so happy that she was one of the first players to get off of the bus and head into the restaurant. The waiter stopped her and asked her to sign an autograph for his daughter. I slipped right by her and sat at a table with the other rookies. My back faced her and we did not even look at each other throughout lunch. I pretended like I didn't care for the food and asked the bus driver to let me back onto the bus so that I could lie down. This bought me more time to avoid Alicia.
_____I knew I couldn't keep this up but at the same time I tried desperately to come up with some explanation for my actions the prior night. I still didn't know what I was gonna say to her.
_____When we arrived at the visitor's locker room at the Great Western Forum I quickly put my uniform on and headed directly to the basketball court. I thought Alicia was gonna head to the training room to have her ankles taped, so when she tapped me on my back and called my name she scared the shit out of me.
_____"Dee we have to talk" Alicia said in a very firm voice.
_____I knew that my response and this conversation would mark a serious turning point in our friendship. My mind flashed as I remembered all of the planning I had done in the past two years. I was getting ready to play in my first WNBA game, this was supposed to be the happiest moment in my life and I didn't feel good at all. Up until those moments last night everything was going so smoothly. My job granted me a leave of absence, I had plenty of money saved, I signed a $60,000 contract to play ball and I became great friends with the leader of the team and one of the most respected women in the league.
_____"Ok, Alicia" I responded pensively. It was all I could manage to say. I gathered my thoughts, took a deep breath, exhaled and walked with Alicia down the long hallway just outside of our locker room.
