Imagine that you are set up on the NBA and meet your girlfriend on the same night.
Warmth ahead Jaime Jaquez Jr. It lived after Miami selected him with the number 18 general choice in the NBA design of 2023 – Things came worse when the tequila struck.
During a appearance Monday on the “Directly to cam” Podcast, Jaquez, remembered that he met his girlfriend, Dominique Rootolo, in New York after the design and asked her to get pizza before she begged her to bring him back to his hotel because he drank too much Tequila.
“So I met her in New York during the Tapnacht. I had the time of my life. My dream came true,” said Jaquez. “And I bumped into her, literally bumps into her, like directly from a movie. We start talking and chatting, and when the night progresses, we had a great time, we talked and got to know each other.
“And I have something like that:” Let’s leave here. Let’s get some pizza or something like that. ” She said, “Okay, let’s go.” ‘
The party came to a screaming stop when Jaquez jumped into his ride share.
“As soon as I got into the Uber, and the loud music and the lights stopped going, I realized:” Oh wow. I can’t get a pizza. I have to go home, “he remembered.
“She said,” What do you mean? “I had something like:” I please don’t take myself home. ”
“… She is like:” Wait, what do you mean? You take me to your hotel? Who are you? I don’t know you, “and I said, please just take me home.”
Rootolo, a model with Wilhelmina Miami, helped Jaquez return to his hotel room, where his brother slept.
“She takes me to my hotel. She takes me to my room, my brother sleeps and he is: ‘What’s the matter? “And in the end I make a line for the bathroom,” said Jaquez.
“You can put together the story from there. I eventually died, and she had something like:” What the hell? “”
Jaquez explained that his friend Justin, who came in while he was sick in the bathroom floor, received the telephone number of Rootolo for him.
“She said,” Yes, I have to leave. I don’t know who this man is. Thanks, but no thanks. ” I have something like ‘okay, cool’, he said.
‘So I texted her the next morning, such as:’ Hey, I am very sorry. Thank you very much for helping me. ‘
“She replied:” Of course. No problem. It happens to our best of us. “
After three months had passed, Jaquez invited Rootolo to hang around with him and his friends in Los Angeles. Rootolo was a track and field-falling at USC.
“After that we did not speak for about three months. I live my life, she lives hers,” said Jaquez. ‘Then I came back to LA and one night we went out with friends. My roommate says: ‘Yo, you should invite that girl from New York. Did she not go to USC? ‘
“I had something like that:” Yes, she did. “So I saved her:” Hey, can I make up for it? She came, brought her friends and the rest is history.
“She forgot me for my dark moment. And yes, we’ll touch it.”
Rootolo, who specialized in the triple leap, went from the University of Oregon to USC, where she earned all-American distinctions and PAC-12 titles.
