INARA
Flashback from December 2022
"Hey, come on guys! Stop goofing around." Geno yelled at the girls as they all threw basketballs at each other. Paige and Inara sat on the sidelines, talking and laughing at each others jokes. They were both four months out of surgery for their injuries so it definitely wasn't the time for them to be up, playing with basketballs.
"I have therapy Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays." Inara said.
Paige shook her head, "That's crazy. I have therapy Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays." She said, making Inara laugh. Inara thought she was funny but she also laughed at anything that came out the blondes gorgeous mouth.
"Right in between each other, huh?" Inara laughed.
It grew silent as Paige attempted to build up the courage to ask Inara out. She wasn't sure if it was the right time, right place or even if Inara was into girls or not but she knew she had to go for it.
Paige sighed, bullying herself into doing so, "Do you wanna hang out after practice?" A nervous Paige asked Inara.
Inara smiled, trying her best to contain her excitement. She couldn't believe that Paige was asking her to hang out, "Like without everybody else?" Inara asked, mentally cussing herself out for being so stupid.
Paige laughed at how cute she was. She ran her tongue up and down her bottom lip, staring at Inara, making Inara's stomach turn. "Us baddies with bad knees have to stick together." She smirked, pointing at both their knee brackets.
"That's funny." Inara laughed.
Paige laughed, leaning up and resting her arms on her thighs, rubbing her hands together, "Yeah, we can grab something to eat if you want." She said, flipping her long blonde hair back.
"I'd like that." Inara smiled.
"Watch out—" Paige swatted a flying orange ball away before it could hit Inara on the side of the head.
"What the hell?" Inara spat, looking up at wherever that came from.
"Damn!" Azzi said, "Sorry, Inara." She smiled, "It slipped. It was meant for Aubrey."
"Yeah but Aubrey is all the way over there!" Inara pointed, "You know, on the court and not the sidelines?" She rolled her eyes at a snickering Azzi.
"Calm down, Marie. It was an accident." Azzi laughed, "You're fine. It didn't hit you." She started dribbling another ball before throwing it at Nika, making her duck.
Paige kind of glanced back and forth between the two, feeling the weird energy flow in the air. Inara rolled her eyes once again, sighing and sitting back on her chair, crossing her arms over her chest. "Bitch." She muttered, shaking her head.
