*I apologize for uploading late again for the last time. It's kinda ironic that I'm posting 3 parts at 2 am in the morning. As some of you guessed, this week it's this series finale. Sure I kinda hoped that it would have lasted a lot longer but it didn't feel right knowing next week it won't be Pride month anymore. During the next few weeks I'll be busy preparing for a certain thing. I hope you guys don't mis that this story was kinda short and rushed. Sure I could say this on the last part but the last part has to many words for Tapas. Yes it's on Tapas too. So I apologize if during any time of this story I spread false things about sexualities or gender identity. I can only know for what concerns me. I have yet to met people having some of those sexualities or gender identity. I also apologize for poor quality of the romance in this story. I really don't have any experience really so I struggle writing romantic parts, especially describing things. Ok now it's enough with apologizing, now you may enjoy reading the last 3 parts!*

School ended one week ago now and I couldn't be happier. Not only do I get freedom, I get the chance to spend more time with Maverick. We couldn't really hang out when there was school, sure we ate together and all but it's not the same thing as hanging out outside of school. So far we saw each other I think 3 times already since summer break started? Most people still ask this damn question if we're dating or not. That's what my new found friends keep asking me. I didn't think I would like being social but here I am making new friends. Kilan will forever remain my best friend even if I don't see them often anymore. Somehow I started talking to Abigail because we had an arts project together. She introduced me to her friends, Ben, Olivia, Mason and William. I think they are nice. I don't have any problems with them. I also get along well with Dakota. That's normal sense he's Kilan's boyfriend. Ever since Kilan finally revealed that they were in fact dating someone behind my back, I did everything to support them. At first I was kind of mad that they hide it from me but I know Kilan and I know they don't really like being in the spotlight. They're still not used to when I tease them. I mean I'm aloud to tease them when they already do that to me. Maverick gets along with those two too. They're not friends or anything but close. Honestly I think I'm too happy today. I think I'm excited for tonight. Apparently Maverick's taking me to his game practice and then we'll eat at a restaurant. I'm so excited. I still don't know what to wear. Our relationship hasn't always been the same. At first I thought it was a miracle he started to talk to me. I didn't really knew a lot about the realm him but as time went on he opened up and I was surprised at how different he really was. I prefer the real him opposed to what the whole world wants him to be. He's way better then those typical basketball players. I don't only like him for his physique. I like how he treats me. He cares about me a lot. He doesn't like to admit it but he always keeps a closer look at everything I do. He's not a softy a'd say but he's not a jerk like his teammates are. Yeah unfortunately I had to see a few of his teammates. As only 1 week after he started being around me he begged me to go see his games. He said he liked it when I was there the other day so I rightfully accepted. Sport is not really my thing but if it's for Maverick then I don't mind watching. Because of the fact I started attending his games plus he kept ditching his so called friends for me, his teammates started saying things to me that I don't want to recall. All I know is that they weren't too happy about that. They suspected him to be gay, that I know. Honestly I don't know how they thought he was gay if they didn't know I was pan. I never came out to them as far as I'm concerned. Eh this school is messed up as it's easy to state the obvious. I think it was a few weeks later that Maverick accidentally told me he was gay. I was surprised at first but then my excitement about that news overshadowed my initial reaction. My hopes were getting even bigger. Even more so knowing we were slowly getting closer. Today he knows I'm pan. I never said it officially but he kinda figured out. Ah it's already 3 pm I really should figure out what to wear.

"Hey" "Hey" I don't know why but it's kinda awkward between us. I just arrived at the gym at school where he practices for his games. Hehe he's still competing for the playoffs. If he keeps up at this rate he might win the trophy. Enough with that, now I have to think about the current situation that I'm facing right now. "How long have you been here?" "10 mins ich?" "Oh ok, I'm not that late." "You're not late, besides you're not forced to come by for the whole practice." "Right.." I don't know how he managed but he has the whole basketball court at him. I wonder where all the other guys are. "Where are all the other guys?" "I asked the coach if I could practice alone. I'm sick and tiring of those pricks." "Oh" "So they already did their practices?" "Yeah I think they did this morning. Usually we practice this morning but coach led me one of the school keys." "Isn't 5 pm a bit late to practice trough?" "I don't mind as long as I can get away from those pricks and my family." "Oh right your parents. What did they do again?" He starts dribbling his basketball that's in his hand as well as trying to throw the ball on the basketball hoop. He continues taking to me while doing so. "Ah nothing I just can't stand them. They keep saying things like: Where's Makayla? Why don't you get yourself a girlfriend? Why aren't you like your brother? You're lucky we're still supporting you. You're ruining our reputation! If you didn't play basketball you would be a disappointment to this family. Yeah they say things along those lines." "Why do your parents have to be like that? What's wrong with them? I bet Thomas is as worst as them." "Yeah he kinda is. I mean he doesn't give two f**ks about me but when he does he makes sure to bring hell to me." "At least my parents aren't nearly as bad as them." "Yeah, what are your parents like trough?" "Oh yeah you never met them. My dad works as a journalist and he mostly doesn't have much time for me. It's not because he want things to be like that it's just how things are. My mom is full energetic. Sometimes I don't understand how she has that much energy. Sense she is always energetic she works out a lot. Sometimes she wonders why I don't do like her. I'm sure she would like you trough." "Oh that's great to know. Ok I had enough of this. I have the keys for the training room at school. Let's go there." "Sure" He puts the basketball at it's place and then we leave the gym. We walk in the hallways in the direction of the training room. It feels weird coming here when there's no school in summer. Never thought I would have to come here in summer. We arrive at our destination. He unlocks the door and we head in. It's a huge room. I think I never went here before. I don't really like exercising all that much. "We won't be here for long. I just want to use a few machines real quick and then we can head to the restaurant. You're not getting bored are ya?" "No? Why do you ask?" "I don't know maybe it's because watching me train can be kind of boring?" He walks to an area where there's no machines, only a few training carpets. "Come over here!" I walk to where he's at. Once I get there he's already positioned to do some push ups. "Hop on my back!" He says with determination. "No! No way I'm doing that!" "Come on it won't hurt. I want some extra weight. You don't weight a tone so don't worry you won't break my back." He smiles back at me. "Fine.." I start getting on his back awkwardly. "Come on don't be shy hop in. I won't break ya!" "Yeah, yeah I get it!" I finally get well positioned on his back and he starts doing his push ups. I hold on to his shoulder. My gosh I can feel all of his muscles flex on his back. It feels weird at worst but I get used to it. It feels kind of nice. It's fun to know that he's well built. "Your doing ok up there?" "Yeah!" "I'm sure you can feel all of my muscles flexing right?" He says in a suggestive tone. "Yeah.." He somehow chuckles even if he's focused on doing his push ups. It's such a mesmerizing view form here. I can see his forehead starting to sweat and I can feel his ragged breathing. Suddenly he comes to a halt and we're on the floor. "I'm done..we should do this another time." "Yeah.." "Are you sure you're ok with that trough?" "Yes..I could feel all of your muscles flexing under your shirt." He chuckles. "Yeah I guess so. Wait did you like that?" I instantly become bright red. "Wha..no..I didn't" I say all nervous. "Relax I know you liked that anyways." I slowly regain my original color on my face. I look back at him nervously with a small smile. "Oh stop with that shy look that's not gonna work on me. I think I'll go take a shower in the boys locker room. I think it's enough for today. It's getting late so.." He won't admit it but he's also excited for tonight. "Yeah I agree." I check the time on my phone. "It's already 5:30 pm so it's indeed a good idea that we put that to a stop." "Ok let me grab my things and I'm gonna go take a shower real quick. You're not gonna start missing me for only 5 mins right?" He says with a huge grin on his face. "No..I won't." "Oh come on. Come closer." He grabs me with his sweaty hands and pulls my body to his chest. "Hey! You're all sweaty!" "I don't think just this will make you stinky like me. Besides I'm not that sweaty." "But there's some sweat coming off your for-" Before I even have the chance to finish my sentence he captures my lips and starts kissing me. He smiles trough the kiss at my initial surprised reaction. I eventually relax trough the kiss and close my eyes. Even if he's sweaty, kissing him is the best. He truly is the best kisser, then again I never really kissed anyone before so I can't compare him to anyone. I'm real lucky that I was to land on someone that likes me back. I think this who's thing started a few weeks ago. We were just at Kilan's place and we just ended kissing without really thinking about it. It just happened and it felt damn right when it happen. Obviously we had to stop sense we were at Kilan's place and we didn't want them to know about what was going between us. Kilan and Dakota were downstairs doing something. And no they weren't doing that! I barely knew that Maverick was gay so that came to a surprise when we first kissed. Then we started kissing often behind closed doors. We eventually had to talk it out. It wasn't easy but we came to a conclusion that we were gonna date in secret. I mean we eventually told Kilan and Dakota but we especially told them to not tell anybody. Still to this day it's a secret. Sure some people suspect us, and that I mean our new found friends but that's about it. We really don't want his family to found out about it. I prefer that this stays a secret to my parents and my siblings but I'm pretty sure my younger sister Carlie already all figured it out. He lets go of the kiss. "I caught you by surprise to right?" "Yeah you kinda did." "I couldn't stop myself from kissing ya." He says it with a huge smile on his face. I smile back. "Ok go take your shower we don't want to arrive to late to the restaurant." "Yes sir" "Oh come on I'm not a sir to you." "Then what are you then to me?" "Your boyfriend?" "That's correct." I slap him on the head. "Hey! What was that for?!" "Go take a shower I don't want to wait all night long." "Ok, ok mister impatient." He finally ends up going to the boys locker room to go take his infamous shower while I wait in front of it.

We've been at the restaurant for over 30 mins and we're waiting for our food. "So you're coming to the game tomorrow right?" "Why wouldn't I be?" "I don't know.. you might not want to see those guys again?" "Fine you get me but seriously I'm coming tomorrow." "Good, good. What will I do without I do if I don't have my favorite person to cheer on me?" "I don't know die maybe?" "Hey! Why are you so mean to me?" He pouts. Pouting is clearly not his thing. "Ok, ok I'm sorry for saying that. I'll be cheering for you 2 times more then usual tomorrow then." "Yes, can't wait for tomorrow then!" "Shh calm down we're in a restaurant not in a theater." "Oops sorry." "Ugh what will I do with you?" "Kiss that thing?" "Sure but after we leave." "Aww you agreed so fast. I knew I was irresistible for ya." He says it with determinations I think I'm making his ego even bigger. Not what I was aiming for. The waiter arrives at our table with our food. "Here you ok, have a nice meal." The waiter leaves right after. "Mmm it's looks so delicious." I cut a peace of my food with a cutting knife and a fork then I take a bite. Argh crap it's spicy. I don't like spicy food. I hurry to take my glass of water and drink from it. "Woah, woah calm down.. is the food spicy? I noticed the food is a bit spicy. You don't like really like spicy food am I right?" "Yeah I don't like it. I don't like how it feels on my tongue." "Oh..I shouldn't have brought you here.." "No,no it's ok. I'll still eat it. Don't start feeling guilty for that ok? It's not your fault, you didn't know." "Ok.. Speaking of tongue I know exactly something that your tongue likes." "Oh yeah what is it then?" "Ah you'll see later." "Ugh not fair." The rest of the night went on like that. We had a really fun night apart from when I had to eat my food that was too spicy to my liking. I like that we can go on dates often like that since summer break started. I'm really lucky to have landed on a good guy that treats me right.
