Andre Karlson had worked his entire life to get out of his neighborhood - the failing schools, the gangs, the sight of his saint of a mother leaving for her third job as he was coming home from practice. He'd done it all: kept his grades up enough to stay out of trouble, then gotten a scholarship to play in the Big 10. Two Final Four appearances and a Wooden Award later, he'd been up on the stage fulfilling a dream. He was drafted in the first round to play in the NBA.

In a lot of ways he hadn't been prepared for all of the changes he was about to go through. He didn't know how to buy a house, or how to manage all the money he was suddenly being paid. The team had resources to help, but a lot of his life was proving to be overwhelming.

There was one saving grace in all of his stress though: girls loved ballers. Andre had never been bad with girls, but being on a professional team made it SO easy. He'd started out on easy hookups, like girls from clubs or the cuties who waited outside the arena after games, hoping for an autograph. That had been fun, but it got tired quick. No, Andre had another girl in mind: Claire. The one girl in the world who was supposed to be off limits. The owner's only daughter. They'd gotten together one night in the team hotel, and hadn't slowed down for a second since.

Hi! Today I'm looking to expand on an old idea and write about an NBA player who's hooking up with the team owner's daughter! What kind of girl is Claire? I'm open! She could be a cute, quiet artsy girl who's never had attention from jocks before. Maybe she's a straight A, high strung college student who hasn't had a moment of fun in years? Or a quiet, religious ball of sexual frustration who will melt for the first man who pays attention to her. She could also be the perfect sorority girl, made up perfectly, who thinks that hooking up with black guys and posting about racial justice on Instagram makes her the perfect ally. If there's another kind of girl you like, let's talk!

Anyway, let's talk ideas! I want to build out Claire and Andre's characters and really get to know them. If you have any ideas about references or backstory that will be a good intro! I hope we can connect! PM me here!
