The Secret

Chapter 8

Sky POV:

Paige and I both wake up in bed together. I'm laying on my back with Paige resting on my chest as I run my fingers through her hair.

"You know we should probably talk about what being together will mean for us" I say softly

"It's simple. You're my girlfriend. I'm your girlfriend. Anyone that has a problem with that can deal with it" she says tiredly which makes me laugh

"That's not what I meant. I meant who do you want to tell"

"Well who do you want to tell" she says tracing patterns on my stomach which gives me butterflies

"I feel like we should tell the team. That way I'm able to kiss you whenever I want around them" I say smiling which makes her smile too

"I like that idea. We should also talk about how us being together won't affect the team. Like we have to promise any fights or arguments we get in, won't affect how we play with each other on the court" she says seriously

"I couldn't agree more" I say continuing to stroke my fingers through her blonde hair "What do you want to tell our parents?"

"I don't know. I think we should wait a little bit until we tell them. Because I don't know how they will take it since we're teammates. Especially your dad, no offense" she says

"That's fine. We'll give it a couple months and see if we want to tell them then. If not we'll go from there" I say "Now for the hardest part, what do you wanna do about being in public?"

"Well I wanna keep our relationship private if that's okay with you?" She asks hesitantly

"That's fine with me" I say rubbing her back softly

"Ok good. Because I feel like once we make it public it's like a million more people are in the relationship not just us. I don't know if that makes sense"

"No it does. Because they will all be watching our every move and everything" I say showing her I know what she means

"Exactly. But it's fine if people start speculating that we're together because they won't know the truth until we confirm it. Plus the internet doesn't even know I'm gay." She explains

"So does that mean we can still go on dates in public?"

"Yea. People will just think we are just eating as friends. And that means we can also hug and stuff in public too because they will just think we are super close friends. I just don't want us to kiss in public where there's a chance people outside of our inner circle, which is our team, will see us" she says looking up at me

"That's fine by me" I say pressing a soft kiss to her lips "Anything else we should talk about?"

"Nothing I can think about right now. If something comes up though we can talk about it. I just want us both to promise that we will be completely honest with each other and won't keep any secrets from each other" she says nervously looking down

"Hey look at me" I say softly and she meets my eyes "I promise I will never keep anything from you. What I know, you know and what's mine is yours. I am officially yours and you are officially mine, and I don't want to do anything to mess that up" I say before kissing her softly again to reassure her, once we pull away she has a big smile on her face.

"I can get used to that" she says before leaning in for a more heated kiss before moving to my neck

"Hey what about hickies?" I struggle to say as she's sucking on my sweet spot

"No one else is here in the summer, we're fine" she says quickly before going back to my neck.

After another round of fun in the morning we both get dressed and decide to call Azzi and Dorka, our two best friends to tell them the news because it's only right they are the first to know about us, plus we've been dying to tell somebody.
