"Isnt it too early to dress the house Mom? Rome asked Ana.
Anna is getting the christmas tree all green and nice.
"Just tell us ur lazy and just want to sit and watch." Ana countered.
"I have list for groceries. The yogurt for Amy is at Melrose. Remember the...non dairy."
"Yogurt but non dairy? wow." He crashed to the floor and start untying the lights.
"These better be not substandard Mom."
"KId, u talk too much. u can go if u dont want to help. Think u so big now huh." Ana is a mother. She will nag every turn of the house.
Amy looking at Rome.
"Lazy is bad Roro. U....hmm. not being lazy."
"Yes little Amy Princess. yes." He pinched her cheek.
"Ahhh." the girl cried.
Ana threw the scissor to him.
"Mom..."
"Get out...Hmmmm Amy...dont mind Uncle Rome."
Rome went out to do groceries.
"Where's Abby anyway.."
The girl is MIA.

The NBA and other major sports, the NCAA also have Christmas game.
Thousands or millions of people are in their tv now.
Either watching Pro sports or College sports. Even sports sports.
Rome is stretching court side.
"Why the fuck are we playing on Christmas. WHY???."
He rather have spaghetti, steak, some cheese and lots of wine. Instead play basketball with bunch of ugly dudes.
The solace of Rome are the legs of cheer leaders. Haha
Ana is back at home preparing the Christmas dinner.
Its Christmas. uggggh.. And there's a game. tsk
"Ro." Coach John called him over.
"Rome, ur starting today."
"Okay coach. Do we beat them early or keep it tight? The tv viewers won't like it if we kill them at the 1st quarter." Rome whispered to John.
At this point, he is just pretending. Honestly, he just wants to go home. sigh.
John opened his mouth. Just want to maul him.
"Damnit kid. Just play hard. Dont worry about the viewers."
"Hahaha. Tight then. Hey guys, dont worry about me, just follow the game plan. I can create my shots."
Cocky now eh. Rome changing his skin.
"Lets do it. Make these guys regret coming over for Christmas."
"No giving love on the court wearing diff color."
"We give gift of despair."
"Fuck. Where did u get that despair?"
'Shut up Rome."
"And they say America is a free speech country.."
"Shut up!!"
"On three trojans!"
"1 2 3 Trojans!!!!"
Galen has come alive.
Staples down the street seemed to have game too. Just saying.
At the center court.
Rome clapped his hands and clapped his face.
"Bring it!" He mumbled weakly.
"Piiiipppp"
The centers jumped.
Rome run to the side and caught the ball.
Surprised because it perfectly landed on his hand.
Then dribbled it.
Bend his knees and shoot.
Nah..its all luck. hahahaha
"Luck 40x"
This is really cheating now.
Too obvious plot armor.
But man, it's great feel.
SPLASH!
Steph and Klay won't be suing him right? Copyright infringement SPLASH.....
He already run for the defense too.
His fat ass like a duck waggling.
"Look at Smith. look!!!"
"Thats what u call the duck walk...He gained weight again, I see."
"Did he even lose tho?"
"Ahhhh."
The audience are talking about him, purely unhealthy.
"BANG!!!!!"
"ROME MARTINEZ-SMITH drills the 3!!!! Merry Christmas everyone."
The radio commentator said with poise and have great command of English vocabulary.
Its healthy. For sure. for sure. yeah.
"Three!!! Splash!!!!! Time!!!!"
Now he has his own time..these people hyping him up. tsk
Galen exploded with his shot.
UNLV have 2 big men. They adapted twin towers and all offenses goes thru to the two.
Its like the 90s for them while Rome is going 2020.
Rome trying hard not to be pushed around.
Boom boom boom.
The opponent turned and extended his hand.
A hook shot slash lay up.
But with his skills improvement because of these past games and watching films.
"Block!"
The ball flew and landed to Nicki.
"GET THAT SHIT OUT HERE!!!" He whispered.
Rome run after landing.
He raised his hand to Simmons who is dashing forward.
When Rome asks for the ball, pass it.
Catch and shoot.
Splash!
Splash!
Splash!
Splash!
Five straight three pointers at every point in the court.
This is cheating. really. nonsense. 5 straight. But if its Rome..he gotta make it. Too much luck on his side.
A minute before the quarter ends, John pulled him out.
The USC students and fans applauded Rome nicely.
He also responded by clapping his hands and did not forget to send kisses to them.
Hey, gotta keep the image clean and squeaky clean.
The night for Rome is simple. Kill them all. Christmas gift for making him play this night.
In the zone tonight eh..
No suspense.
Th early lead of 15 points made UNLV fight desperately.
But come 4th quarter, he once again electrified the crowd by only shooting outside like Dirk shots.
One foot step back three.
That's just it.
His bread and butter for the night is from the three point land. Haha
