In the Name of the Game

Chapter 7: But Daddy I Love Her

Lupe's Pov

Junior year started off with a splash that's for sure, I couldn't wait until Taylor was back in town. We were going to be celebrating her album release and my birthday.

I honestly have the most amazing girlfriend you could possibly have. She and I tried to make sure that we checked in at least once a day.

"You do realize that you don't have to be bouncing off the wall." Mav stated as they looked over at me.

"I can't help it, Tay is coming to the game and then we get to be together for my birthday." I said as I looked over towards them, we had both been excited for this season. Volleyball season had actually been going really well, we were currently undefeated and our girls teams were becoming powerhouses.

I could see Mav shaking their head, I had missed Taylor a lot and I knew after her album came out things were going to change, she was going to be busier.

"Wright get your head ready for the game." Coach said as I pull on my volleyball jersey, I usually already had my compression shorts on by the time I got into the locker room. I had pretty much had everything timed to the t, and Maverick tried their best to help out.

It wasn't long before we made our way onto the court, I could see Taylor and Abigail sitting with my grandparents. My mom was usually running late, but I knew she would be here.

"Head in the game Wright." My coach said as I took one last look over at Taylor kissing my T necklace before tucking it under my jersey.

Taylor's Pov

The game was definitely intense more than I had expected, I knew they had been doing really well.. I mean that was at least what Abigail had been telling me.

"So that was wayy too close for comfort." Abigail stated as I saw nods coming from Lupe's grandparents.

I could see Lupe making her way over to us, a smile coming across my face.

"Hey baby," Lupe whispered over to me as she hugged me. (Totally normal right two best friends?) She quickly hugging her grandparents and her mom before they made us pose for a few pictures.

Her family was always supportive of the two of us, they were also really good at keeping the secret. I mean my mom was more worried for us, specifically me.

I knew Lupe worried for me, she wanted me to get everything I wanted.

By the time we made it back to her house I was just waiting on her to actually arrive. My smile grew as soon as I saw her car pulling up.

"Could you be even more obvious?" Abigail stated as I looked over at her slightly sticking out my tongue.

"I haven't seen her in a while." I told her as she shook her head before saying "you literally saw us like 2 weeks ago."

"And your point? We spent so much time together that this just seems like forever." I said with my hands on my hips. I watched as Lupe got out of the car, her favorite hat once again placed on her head. Although a few new signatures now also joined mine, I had gotten the guys from Rascal Flatts and Gary Allen to sign it. It still made me laugh that she still said that her favorite was still my giant one... she never let me live that down.

I watched as she moved over towards me Our lips meeting sweetly like it really had been forever since we last saw each other.

"Come on seriously you two saw each other 2 weeks ago." Mav stated now getting out of the car.
