Part 7

Present day

My whole life I have heard people say that change is good. But as someone who has changed a lot. They couldn't be more wrong. Moving to New York was a big change, that brought a lot of changes with it.

When I first moved I was depressed and anxious 24/7. My parents weren't around so I went through all of this by myself. I stayed in our apartment for 3 weeks without leaving. And I hated every second of it. Inside was empty and desolate and outside was scary and new.

College has been the best thing for me. Paige being on the basketball team means she made lots of new friends and those friends became mine too over time. I met Kayla who is my roommate, bestie, and coworker all in one. I go new places meet new people and I get to do it all with my best friend by my side.

Right now me Paige, Kayla, Jana, Azzi and kk are going on a late night trip to target. As there is not much else to do in storrs Connecticut and Paige and kk need a sweet treat. When we're in the car there's not enough seats for everyone so I am currently sat on Paige's lap. Yes we know it's not safe but everyone does it. While we're driving we're blaring music and singing along.

I can't help but draw my attention to the hand Paige has placed on my thigh. And the other one resting on my hip. She has a tight hold on my hips and we go over a bump I bounce up and down on her lap slightly. Wicked games by the weekend being my only distraction as she lets out a frustrated sounding grunt. This catches the attention of kk and Azzi who are in the backseat with us.

I look out the window at nothing to hide my bright red cheeks. She gently starts to rub her hand up and down my thigh and she hums along to the song. I feel a heat building up between my legs as we continue on. I look to Paige who currently has her teeth dug into her bottom lip as she looks down at me.

Thankfully we arrived at target. And when we did I still couldn't get away from Paige as she couldn't keep her hands off of me. One arm over my hip as she pulled me closer to her. When we get inside me and Azzi go to get a cart and she gives me a suspicious look. "What." I said to her look.

"Don't what me. You're the one who was just getting all excited because of your bestie." She said sassily. "I wasn't getting all excited. Grosso." I said back denying any accusations. "Oh please everyone in the car could feel the tension. Sexual tension." She said like a genius. "Me and Paige don't have sexual tension." I said quickly.

"So you're telling me you had sex with her. Good sex from what you told me. One time and never wanted to do it again." She said loudly. "Okay first of all be quieter and second of all yes I have wanted to do it again. But that can never happen. Because Paige dosent feel that way about me." I said as we began to walk towards the rest of the group.

"Whatever you need to tell yourself babe." Azzi said quietly as we were now much closer to our friends. Once we made our way over Paige as immediately right behind me as I was leant against the cart. One thing about Paige and I is we both are very touchy. We physical touch is our love language and she is my best friend after all.

And it's not like this is something new. Paige and I have always been this way ever since we were like 12. When we would have sleepovers we would sleep in the same bed and cuddle up bed to each other. We hug all the time so Paige constantly touching me is nothing new. If anything it would feel more weird for her to be not touching me.

That's one of the main reasons for all of her girlfriends hating me. I mean her last one broke up with her because of the way I reacted to her injury. It was December of 2021 and they were playing a game against Noter dame when she was dribbling up the court and her knee locked backwards. She fell to the ground in pain and limped off the court.

I was with her every step of the way. When we found out she had fractured a bone and tore part of her meniscus she was devastated. This injury would later lead to her ACL tear the following year. She's so strong. She's been through so many things and I've tried my best to support her as best as I can.

So obviously Paige and I aren't just going to stop being best friends or change our relationship for one of her very short term girlfriends.
