Take me out of the past | Paige Bueckers

24:brianna

Brianna woke up with Paige's arms around her. She never wanted to leave, but she knew they had to start waking up and getting ready. She nudged the blonde gently before saying, "good morning, P" in her slightly croaky morning voice. The blonde woke up, begging for five minutes. She didn't want to stop holding Brianna, because once she let go she didn't know when she'd be able to hold her next, if ever. In that moment Paige knew she needed Brianna, I mean she had known for a while now, but this just confirmed that she was obsessed with the girl.

As Brianna stood up, her body grew cold without the touch of Paige's skin. She was walking towards the bathroom when she felt an arm pull her into a room. It was Jules. "What the actual fuck Jules, my life just flashed before my eyes. What's up, why did you pull me in here?" Brianna spat out. " Brianna oh my good god. You have just woken up from cuddling the star basketball player who clearly likes you and you're asking ME what's up. Girl tell me you have at least kissed, or this fist will be in your face." Jules half whispered but half shouted at the same time. "Nothing happened. Promise, I wanted it to though." Brianna responded. "Ok at least we're getting somewhere, at least you can admit you have the feels for her." Jules giggled back.

The two girls got ready in record breaking time, grabbing the brownies and running to the car. They got there just in time, Geno smiled at the two girls before explaining to the rest of the team what they would be doing. Paige and Brianna got tasked with selling the cakes on one of the tables. After Geno walked away and the girls got settled in, the rest of the team were suspiciously looking at Paige and Brianna, who were in their own little world. The whole team had already seen the picture, when Jana ran around their whole apartment screaming. But they didn't want to question Paige in front of Brianna because they knew Paige wouldn't be completely honest about her feelings. So they decided they would wait until they all returned home. But in the mean time, they were all focused on the two girls who clearly wanted each other so much, that it almost hurt to watch.

Brianna was admiring Paige as she attempted to be the best saleswoman in Connecticut, causing Brianna's face to be decorated with a smile. The two girls got so many sales, more that the other girls on the other table, "teamwork makes a dream work" Paige said with a giggle, "realest thing I've heard" Brianna joked back. While they were selling cakes, multiple people had gone up to Paige asking for a picture, Paige loved talking pictures with her fans. But sometimes the fans would recognise Brianna and ask for her picture too, it caught Brianna off guard. Things like that never happened to her, the interactions were amazing and of course she took all the pictures, but it overwhelmed her after a while, causing her to imagine what Paige must feel regularly.

The sale had finished so all the girls started packing away. Paige and Brianna's hands touched way too many times for it to be a coincidence, but neither of them mentioned anything. Once everything was packed away, they gave the other box of brownies to the team. Every girl grabbed one and took a bite, Brianna and Paige were looking at them, waiting for a reaction. The team broke out in a wail of enjoyment, each girl shocked out how good the brownies were. They all thought Paige was hyping her and Brianna's baking skills up too much, but after tasting it, they decided that the two girls downplayed the brilliance of their brownies.

The girls were all headed back to their apartment, Paige caught a ride with ice, leaving Brianna on her own. It was the first time in what felt like forever that she would be separated from the blonde and she was already having withdrawals symptoms. She got home fell into her bed and sighed. She was thinking how the hell was she this down bad for Paige. Paige Bueckers. The girl she once loved and then hated. How was she back at square one. Where did all the hate go? And why were her previous feelings flooding her heart once again? But this time they were stronger. Paige was like a drug, and Brianna was an addict.
