And I'll call you mine { Paige Bueckers}

Part 18

Juliet jones

That night me and Paige had a sleep over. We didn't talk much just cuddled mostly. I know things can't stay like this. We both have questions that need to be answered but for right now I'm ok with this. I don't like being mad at her. Oh who am I kidding I can't even be really mad at her. So I guess I hate pretending to be mad at her.

Even when we were little she would do something to annoy me like eat the last ice cream bar and not share. And I would be mad at her for about 15 minutes then we would be ok again.

Right now she is fast asleep in my bed. I decided to door dash some coffees for us before she has to go to practice so right now I'm trying to sneak out of my own room as quietly as possible. Once I reached the front door I opened it and picked the coffees up off the welcome mat.

When I turned around I suddenly saw Kayla standing at the kitchen counter looking directly at me. I jumped slightly but just enough to spill just a little bit of coffee onto my shirt. "What the hell kayla. You scared the shit out of me." I said whilst setting down the coffees on the counter as I made my way over to the sink to wipe the coffee off my shirt before it stained.

"Are you serious Juliet. You could have at least made her suffer like one more day." She said looking to me annoyed. Kayla always says Paige walks all over me. She knows I love her and she knows I won't hold her accountable so she does stuff she shouldn't. Not that Kayla's wrong. I just don't know how to tell her to stop.

I mean she's practically used me for sex multiple times at this point. Just to show up with another girl the next week. But how do I tell her she hurt me when she's my best friend. How do I tell her how I really feel about her.

"I know. I know. Also please don't call me Juliet you know I hate that." I voiced as I palmed myself in the forehead feeling like I failed a test and Kayla was a disappointed parent. "You deserve to be Juliet right now." She said huffing. "Hey I'm sorry. Ok. But I did get you this." I said handing her a latte.

"You're trying to bribe me into not being mad at you." She said faking shock. "And it's working." She continued reaching out and taking the latte from my hand before giving me a knowing glance and walking off down the hallway to her own room.

After she was gone I picked up the coffees from the counter and made my way back to my own room. When I opened the door I saw Paige sat up against my pillows scrolling on her phone. Probably checking Instagram.

"Your to sweet." She said after looking up and noticing me walking into the room. I handed her drink to her before setting mine down on the nightstand and crawling in bed next to her. "What times practice?" I asked. "9 I should probably get dressed here soon." She said before letting out a long sigh. "Tell me about it. With all the March madness stuff coming up me and Kayla are practically buried in paper work. You know how annoying it is writing your name over and over again." I joked.

She laughed next to me her body shaking slightly. "I'm sure it's so tiring." She let out followed by another chuckle. Soon enough she got up to get changed and went on her way to practice. I didn't have to be in the office until 10 today so I still had enough time to shower before I need to get ready.

After I showered I did my make up and hair. About halfway through Kayla came in to remind me of our board meeting today. Which means we will be meeting with Geno cd all the other coaching staff and the board of athletics. Usually it's just to go over stuff like budget and media. Boring stuff.

But it's important enough that I have to look somewhat nice being in Geno's office assistant. Well I do everything an office assistant would do just without the official title. Because that would mean I get paid but I don't I'm an intern.

So when I went through my closet I decided on a pair of black dress pants that cinched in my waist and a fitted button up. Last minute I decided to throw my hair up into a loose bun with lots of hanging strands and lastly threw on my blue light glasses that I used for work.

Once we arrived at the athletic center we went up to our own separate offices and worked for about an hour before it was time for us to head off to our meeting. But before we could go I had to run a couple things by Geno for the meeting. So when I saw his office was still empty I made my way down to the court.

When I walked through the court to the bench I could feel a pair of lingering eyes. Maybe two. After I finished talking to Geno. I felt her hand slide across my waist. So I turned around and came face to face with Paige. "Can I help you." I said looking up at her over my glasses.

"You look sexy." She said bitting down on her bottom lip. "Get out of here I have a meeting to get to." I said smacking her softly on her chest. "What are you all dressed up for." Morgan said as she came over to the bench and began collecting her things. "A meeting unfortunately." I replied jokingly.

"You look really good." She said a light pink blush covering her cheeks. "Well i should get going." I said as I started to walk away from the two.

"By lady's." I said with a wave before turning around walking off out of the court. Feeling the same two pairs of lingering eyes.
