it's you | Paige Bueckers|

better than that

(AN: I'm so sorry that this took so long😭 I don't know why I thought I already posted this chapter but here you go)

Paige's POV:

The next morning comes and I can't help but relish in the happiness that comes with being around Jasmine, she it's like the sun. Always shining and always making others around her feel like they're on top of the world. It helps that I happen to be seeing her as well but that's beside the point.

I've decided that sometime this week I'm going to talk myself up into asking her to be my girlfriend officially, and I know it might be considered a little fast but I honestly don't care. She's just the type of person you want all to yourself and you bet your ass imma try my hardest to make that happen.

I feel kisses being placed on my neck as a smile breaks out onto my face, I bring my hand up to run my fingers through Jasmines hair. "Morning" she mumbles against my skin as I lean down to press a kiss against her forehead.

"Morning mama" I respond as her head moves to look up at me, she smiles and I place a peck in her nose as she scrunches it up in response. "You have practice today right?" She asks as I hum in response.

"Then imma go explore" she says before starting to place kisses all over my face. "Okay mama, wanna take my car? I can ride with Nika or Azzi?" I ask making her take a moment to think about it before nodding her head. "If you don't mind" she says with a cheeky smile.

I lean forward to place my lips against hers, "if I minded I wouldn't have offered" I mumble against her lips once we pull away. She simply hums in response before pressing her lips back against my own.

"Bet, I'll grab you food on the way back too" she says making a big cheesy smile form on my face, "you really know the way to my heart baby" I say making her giggle as I squeeze her body closer to mine.

"Knock knock love birds" Nika says from the other side of the door, "I don't like that you're stealing my best friend Ms Bueckers" Nika says jokingly making Jasmine giggle into my shoulder.

"Well.. suck it up cause I'll be stealing her a lot more often" I respond cheekily making Nika cackle before leaving the room. "I'm getting breakfast, text me what you want" she says as she's leaving.

"Ughh I hate when she does that cause I don't even know where she's getting breakfast from" I whine making Jasmine laugh as she gets up out of bed. "Just text her and ask" she says while ruffling through her things.

"See I would except Nika won't answer until she's already at the place and then she gets mad that I don't know what I want and ends up leaving me to starve" I say dramatically hoping it would catch Jasmines attention and she could come back over here.

"Oh you poor baby! What are you ever going to do" she says with a pout before dropping it with a smile. "I'm going to shower, when you find out where she's getting it from tell her I want a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel please" she says before going into the bathroom as I groan at my failure.

I spam Nika to see where she's getting breakfast from and then send her out orders and once again I was right, she didn't answer until she was in line to order.. meanie. Good thing we both just wanted bacon egg and cheeses... what her order sounded good.

By the time Nika gets back I'm already ready to go to practice and Jasmine is doing her makeup for when she goes exploring. "You know, you really don't need that" I mumble from over her shoulder making her smile. "Yeah but I like doing it, it makes me feel extra pretty" she says with a concentrated face.

"But you're already fucking stunning without" I say making her giggle, "well I know that.. that's why I said extra" she says while looking at me through the mirror. When she sees my reaction to what she just said she throws a wink in my direction before going back to her makeup.

My reaction being biting down on my lip and looking her up and down while nodding. What can I say... she's not wrong. Nika suddenly comes in the room and hands me the bag of food before rushing out of the door, not even leaving us time to say anything and leaving my door wide open.

"Uhhh" I start before Jasmine shrugs it off, already going in to the bag of food. What did you get Paige" she says while taking out both sandwiches. "Same as you mama, so it don't matter" I state making her nod and hand me one of them.

"Paige let's go!" Nika says while running through the hall making me shake my head at her, I grab my bag and put on my slides before walking over to Jasmine. "I'll see you later mama" I say while leaving down and placing a quick peck on her lips which leaves her pouting at me.

"Oh my keys are on my nightstand, have fun" I say before closing the door behind me before walking to the front door where Nika is rummaging through her bag to find her car keys. "You're a mess" I say making her glare as she finds them and we head out.
