𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐂𝐘: Bronny James

06

I woke up the next morning with butterflies. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened last night with Bronny and I.

I was eating breakfast in the kitchen and Angeline walked in and fixed a bowl of cereal for herself.

"Good morning, Soph." she yawned. "How did the date go?"

"It was pretty good!"

She pulled up a chair next to me. "Tell me everything!"

I told her about most of the date. I told her about how we went to In-N-Out, how we listened to music and sang songs together. But I didn't tell her that I had s*x with him. I just thought whatever happened between him and I is nobody else's business.

The next few weeks were pretty memorable. I started texting Bronny almost everyday and every night before I went to bed. A top tier company even contacted me for an internship because he reached out to them for me.

Even though I really wanted to see him in person again, the last thing I needed was for the whole world to know about us. We FaceTimed each other frequently and he would even keep me on the phone while he played 2K or Call of Duty. Nobody knew about us. Even Angeline didn't know that I was still seeing Bronny. Our 'relationship' was private and I was the happiest girl in the whole world.

Up until the end of July at least.

July 30th

I had just finished brushing my teeth to get ready for bed. I realized Bronny hasn't been texting me a lot recently. Normally he'd shoot me a "good morning" text every morning but starting this week, he hasn't been doing that. His messages also started getting drier, like he doesn't want to talk to me anymore. Today, he just stopped replying completely.

What is going on? Was it something I said? Was it something I did? The last text I sent him was "I hope you enjoy practice later :)" and he didn't respond. I don't even think he opened it.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Come in."

Angeline walked in and sat on my bed. "Hey girly. I noticed you didn't finish your dinner. Is everything alright?"

"I'm fine, Angie. I'm just stressed out and plus I've been feeling super nauseous lately." I groaned.

"Stressed about your internship? I told you you've been overworking yourself ever since you got it. I think you should go from being a full time intern to a part time just to focus on yourself for a bit."

"No, it's not school. It's something else."

"Like what?" she asked.

I took a deep breath. "So, remember when I went on the date with Bronny? Well, he and I had s*x with each other and we've been secretly seeing each other these past few weeks but now he's ghosting me."

"YOU SLEPT WITH BRONNY FREAKING JAMES??????" she said in confusion.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted it to stay between him and I."

"Okay, I understand that but DAYUM girl! You finally lost your virginity! I applaud you!" she said clapping her hands.

I rolled my eyes. "It doesn't matter anyways because he's completely ignoring me and I didn't even do anything wrong."

"Wait, when you slept with him, did he use protection?" she asked.

We both stared at each other and our eyes widened.

"Sophia, did he use protection???"

I cannot believe it took me this long to process that Bronny and I didn't use protection when we had s*x.
