I Was Made For Loving You - Paige Bueckers

Part of House of Lies mini series

March Madness has begun and well your team is already in the Sweet Sixteen. You just finished playing. Now you and Paige are about to board a plane back to UConn.

"Babe you didn't have to fly out to see me play." Paige rolls her eyes at you as she carries your duffel bag. Both of you have book bags on.

"Yea says the one that's flying with me to see me play. Also are you crazy why would I miss that epic performance you just put on? Any chance I get I'm coming to see my girlfriend play." She pulls you close and kisses your head. She's so proud of you. She then pull you to sit down where you two are suppose to board the plane.

You two made it official a week ago. She can't stop saying you are her girlfriend. Neither can you, but your girlfriend doesn't miss a chance to tell everyone. They just don't know it's you. If it's not in person. Yours and hers inner circle knows it all. It's not a secret but you two are definitely going to be private mostly.

"Thank you for coming." You lean over and kiss her. She smiles.

"It still feels like the first time. Every time." She whispers.

"Says the one with pillows for lips." You peck her lips once more. You smile with your eyes closed and Paige rubs your cheek lovingly. "Do you want anything?"

"We should probably get food. We don't board for another 30 minutes." You nod in agreement.

You two go look around and find a place that serves fries with melted cheese on top. You smile at Paige. You hand her your card then stand next to her as she orders for you two.

"Morgan Cheli for 3. And it's in!" You mark it down in the stat book then clap. It's late in the 3rd quarter and the score is still a bit close. But they are slowly starting to pull away.

"KK Arnold with the steal. She outlets it to Bueckers. Bueckers with the quick dish to Griffin and count it." You mark the stats again. Proud of your girlfriend for entering double-double territory.

"She now has a double-double." You whisper to the announcers.

"Bueckers now has a double-double with that last assist to Griffin." Chelsea Grey announces then winks at you as a thank you.

You are surprised Aurburn is hanging in this game still. You just watch and continue marking stats. Talking with the announcers.

"You wanna give announcing a try?" Andraya asks you. Offering her headset on a timeout between the quarters.

"I would if I didn't hold favoritism. Get me for another team I don't spend a lot of time with."

"I think you'll be good at it." Chelsea says confidently.

"Next time you two can definitely teach me the ropes." You tell them. Chelsea then leans over and whispers to her coworker. They both nod at what is said.

"Join us for post game interview. We are interviewing Paige after."

"I uhmm..."

"No excuses rookie." You just nod and smile. Kayla comes over and hugs you from behind.

"Hey.... Keeping up with all the stats P is dropping?"

"Yes I am. Coach should definitely put you in so you can drop a quick 50 piece on them." Kayla laughs but immediately stops.

"Should I go lace up real quick? I'm sure I can drop a quick 25."

"Dang you only need 1 quarter?"

"Yea I'm the secret weapon." You both laugh.
