It was now October, everything was perfect. The season was perfect, Paige and I were perfect and my plan was perfect, I had been waking up nearly every day at 6am then going to the gym to shoot some hoops and work on my skills and my handles. Then afterwards I would go to the gym for a little bit and do a 45-minute workout, then I would go back to my room. Relax, go to class. Go to actual practice and repeat. of course whilst hanging out with Paige and everybody else.
I love Paige, she is the sweetest and the funniest and I can be around her for hours on end, but I did keep the fact that I was waking up every morning to go do some training. I didn't want her to think too deeply about this and plus we would have to have that awkward conversation about if we were staying next year and I didn't want that, I just wanted to enjoy these moments with her and worry about the heavy things when it comes to it.
We had just finished our afternoon practice and we were all in the locker rooms getting changed and ready to go home, if I was being honest I was completely exhausted. Getting up early every morning to train isn't that good for staying awake, especially when I stayed up late doing assignments.
"Yo Mils your left-hand jumper is getting really good, like I swear it's almost like your right-hand one" Ice said excitedly as she hyped me up, we were practically all sat down rolling or stretching after getting dressed into comfier clothing.
"Thanks, Ice" I replied smiling.
"and bruh you're so quick" Inès added, I love inès.
"Guys shut up" I smiled as I turned around and used the foam roller to roll out my left quadriceps.
"No but seriously how do you feel that you are twelve steals away from being the NCAA all-time leading women in steals?" Nika exclaimed as everybody made a 'Oooo' sound, almost in a mocking tone.
"feels pretty good that if I get forty-three steals in a single season I'm going officially be able to pass Paige for UConn history" I mocked her which caused her to hit me in the back of the head with a towel. The girls laughed as they slowly left one by one. Packing up their things and finishing their stretches, everyone is practically dressed the same after training, all dressed in Uconn tracksuits or comfortable hoodies.
Just as I was about to leave I felt an arm pull me back, I swear this was becoming routine at this point. I turned to see my beautiful blonde girlfriend staring back at me smiling.
"What one second" she smiled as I nodded, we waited for the last few girls to leave the change rooms before speaking.
"Let's go out tonight, let me take you on a date we haven't been on a date in ages." She pleaded smiling, that was true with how busy we've both been its been super difficult to make time for dates.
"yeah okay" I smiled back, wrapping my arms around her neck before giving her a gentle kiss on the lips, we hadn't got to hang out just us two for a while now. It felt good to finally have a date night.
