Just a couple days before he’d been in Chicago visiting his mother. Despite living all the way in California he made frequent visits to his hometown. Sometimes the visits served other purposes such as volunteering within the community or for more promotional reasons. For the most part the purpose of his visits was to spend time with his mother, and of course enjoy her home cooking. Since he wasn’t all that great of a cook himself Dimitri often found himself relying on take out and restaurants. Or when he got sick of that then he might call in a private chef. If he was really lucky then one of his female companions might be so kind as to cook for him. His mother often joked that he needed to find himself a wife or a girlfriend soon so he wouldn’t starve, a comment which he did his best to ignore. Glendora was always picking on her youngest son about girls and dating and asking when he was going to finally settle down and get married. It wasn’t like the prospect had never crossed his mind, but right now he was at the height of his career and he was riding along on the current enjoying every bit of it. The right girl would come along when it was time, but he wasn’t bending over backwards to find her.
Meech stepped off the subway and headed up to the main street. He’d promised his good friend Camden a little game of one-on-one, and he figured that so long as he was in the Midwest he may as well make a trip to the East Coast. There was no telling when would be the next time Camden would be in LA, and Meech didn’t want the man getting amnesia in case he decided to punk out of their agreement, though he doubted that would happen. Cam was in no way a shitty player; he had game and he had skill, and his ambition didn’t let him back down from a challenge. Besides backing out would only make him look like a punk and Dimitri knew there was no way Camden would let himself settle for that. With a backpack slung over his shoulder, Dimitri made his way through the streets of New York towards the basketball courts in Central Park. Even though he was a professional athlete who played for the NBA, most people wouldn’t recognize him unless he walked around in his Bulls uniform. That was the nice thing about being an athlete. Typically only real sports fanatics knew enough about you to make a big deal. Even if you had a household name that got tossed around frequently, like Tim Tebow or Reggie Bush for instance, most people only knew of you but wouldn’t be able to tell you apart unless you were on the television.
On top of that, New York residents were so used to having big stars in their presence that it didn’t even faze them anymore. The most he might get from a fan who recognized him was a smile or a wave with a “Hi Meech!” Now that, he didn’t have a problem with. When Dimitri crossed through the park and made his way towards the courts he saw Camden waiting for him. Dimitri approached the man, clasped his hand in his own, and gave him a firm pat on the back with his free hand. “Ready to get your ass whooped?” he questioned as he pulled away. He usually wasn’t one for shit talk, but he couldn’t turn down an opportunity to poke fun at Camden. Maybe it didn’t show as easily with Dimitri and his stony expressions, but it always tickled his funny bone.
