I am. Embarrassed myself in front of a famous bball player at my own party and now it’s haunting me.

LMAO how is it embarrassing if no one else saw you?

From: Davina Klein-Roberts

To: Deke Bishop

YOU saw me.

From: Deke Bishop

To: Davina Klein-Roberts

Yeah, but I grew up with two sisters and am still close to them. I’m used to seeing women cry.

From: Davina Klein-Roberts

To: Deke Bishop

You’re just saying that to make me feel better.

Why are you up? What are you doing?

From: Deke Bishop

To: Davina Klein-Roberts

At my hotel. I’ll be heading to FL in a couple days to see family. That’s the best part about the off season. Schedule is freer so I get to spend more time with the people I love. I’m up cause I can’t sleep. Too busy thinking about you.

From: Davina Klein-Roberts

To: Deke Bishop

Do I need to send you a reminder before every email so you won’t say stuff like that to me?! JUST FRIENDS, REMEMBER?

From: Deke Bishop

To: Davina Klein-Roberts

What??? It’s true. I am thinking about you ... but it’s not like how you’re thinking.

From: Davina Klein-Roberts

To: Deke Bishop

So what’s it like then?

From: Deke Bishop

To: Davina Klein-Roberts

Just about how you ran off to be alone. You were hurting. Still are, I’m sure. It sucks when you want to help someone but all their troubles are on the inside.
