Harper's pov:

It feels like I've been in this airport a decade. I'm starving and the air is cold and feels like it's full of germs.

"Hey fiddle!" I hear a familiar voice call out behind me. I can't help but smile at the name she knows I hate it.

It's just so cheesy. A harp is a musical instrument so she thinks she's clever by calling me the wrong one. I secretly think it's sweet though especially now.

I turn around and see her, my best friend. She's taller than I remember and not as skinny. She's grown into her face and looks like a woman.

No longer sweet Hopkins p.  "Hey superstar," I say as I pull her into a tight hug.

She smells amazing and I'm just now realizing how strong she really is. "Ugh I missed you," I say as her arms are wrapped around my waist.

Paige's hugs are the world's best. I think everyone could agree with me!  When she hugs she rests her head on you and pulls you in tight.

Finally I break away. "Here let me help you with your stuff, are you hungry??" She says frantically while grabbing one of my three suitcases.

"Yes starving," I reply quickly. I'm so glad she's been my best friend for so long there is no judgement when it comes to her I can be my complete self.

She chuckles at my desperation. "Alright uh you want me to cook or we can just pick up something." She says as we make it out to her car.

I like it it's nice and suits her. She opens the door for me like the gentlelady she's always been.

"Why thank you kind woman," I tease which makes shrug her shoulders playfully. "Can we just pick something up for tonight?"

Time skippp *

Here we are chilling on Paige's apartment catching up. It's great and her little apartment is so clean. I know these aren't Paige's skills.

"Azzi help you?" I say with a grin turning my head at her. I see her smile creep onto her face which gave her away.

"Yep you're absolutely correct. I didn't want my best friend to come to a mess. Has to be spotless for the princess of course." She says while finally making eye contact.

"Oh of course?" I return the playful energy. That's when my phone rings.

JD 😐 is calling.

I roll my eyes and immediately hit the power button. I don't want to talk to him not today. We got into a major fight about me coming back to college.

I know Paige isn't his biggest fan either so I didn't want to bring him up immediately.

"You need to take that?" She asks politely offering to get up and give me space.

"No it's not anyone too important right now. I'm focused on you silly. It's been forever since we got to see each other and now we're basically living out highschool dreams."

Her smile grows twice its size at what I just said. I'm glad she remembers everything.

"So hotshot what's your status. Seems like the whole world wants to know yet no one does." I says while I brush my fingers through my hair.

I guess from playing sports all these years Paige has gotten really amazing at holding eye contact. She never breaks it which can be intimidating.

"What do you mean?" She asks softly. Her lips look really pretty. Her skin looks super good too, I wonder if she's been focusing on that.

"You know what I mean silly, are you seeing anyone special?" I'm genuinely curious, I wanna be supportive like she always is for me.

"No one important really. You know me fiddle I focus up on ball all the time. Just an occasional girl will pass me by and catch my eyes but no one has ever had my full attention in a long time." She explains.

"Ohhh so you're a little slut!!" I push her shoulder lightly teasing her.

"Am not! My count is two.." she says quietly, "I'm just a kisser, I mean I learned from the best."

She means me. I taught her freshmen year. Now I'm super curious though.. two? She never told me about them.

"Mine is also two," I admit casually. I have been with JD so long that I never wanted to sleep with anyone else.

Before that I don't even know if it counts really.. Or if she'd count it. It was definitely real to me though and has made me think a couple times.

But we were just playing around it doesn't matter!! I know what I like and I know what is important.

Even though me and JD aren't on speaking terms he is still my boyfriend and I love him.

"So I don't wanna over step but I am curious," Paige speaks up.

"Yes?" I say softly

"JD.. is he um, well are you still together?" She asks trying to understand the situation.

I get her confusion. I posted him a week ago and now I'm declining his calls. I just don't want to deal with his drama he will get over it and we will be great like always!

"Yeah just right now I'm taking my space.. yeah you know how we are haha. It's just kinda crazy at some times. We're great! He just didn't want me to move that's all. So I need some time to be my own person." I say while picking at my nails.

She bites her lip and nods her head understandingly, "oh, sorry to hear that." She grabs my hands so I stop picking and holds them.

That's my sweet girl, always there to make remember and know I'm safe. I love her she's the best friend I could ever ask for.

I rest my head on her shoulder and she plays with a piece of my hair. "Missed you super star." I say with a yawn.






Flashback**

Paige's pov:

Harper is laying in my bed cuddled up to me and every thing is amazing. She's wearing my t-shirt which is so long on her and it's adorable.

We have been practicing kissing and giving hickeys a lot. Which I secretly really really like when it's my turn to give them, because we have to give them in places no one will see so she doesn't get in trouble.

"Let me see yours," she says sitting up and pulling up my shirt to reveal my lower stomach.

I have a dark purple and red mark left behind, she starts smiling and rubbing it gently and I feel the butterflies forming.

"Wow you're a lot better at it." I say shyly. She's a lot more confident and she does a lot of the teaching.

We both agreed to not tell anyone what we're doing because they just don't understand it's just friendly we just need the practice.

"You can just practice more and I'm sure you'll be great duh." Harper says will pulling up her shirt revealing all the light red marks I've left behind.

"Here keep practicing." She offers and so I of course agree. It's an excuse to kiss her chest and I know she likes it because her body betrays her.

"Hey Paige," she says shyly which is unlike her, I stop what I'm doing and pay full attention to her.

"Oh never mind, crazy idea you can keep doing that." She says while trying to play it off.

The rest of the night my brain won't drop that. I am so curious to know what she was thinking.
