And I'll call you mine { Paige Bueckers}

Part 22

Paige bueckers

The next morning after mine and JJ's long night of lots of tears and lots of cuddles and reassurance I woke up and immediately reached out for her on the other side of the bed. When my hand came in contact with the empty sheets I sat up abruptly.

I quickly threw on a pair of sweats before practically speed walking out of my room coming down the hallway fast just to be stopped by my body coming in contact with hers. I was walking so fast and bumped into her so hard I almost knocked her over.

"Someone's on a mission." She said holding on to my arms tightly keeping herself up right. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry." I said grappling her into my arms and squeezing her tight. I looked around the living room realizing it wasn't just us but rather us Aubrey, kk, Azzi , ice and Morgan. I could tell that our interaction was a bit awkward to watch so instead of holding her in my arms any longer though I wanted to so bad.

I took her hand in mine and lead us to the only open spot on the couch before sitting down and pulling her into my lap. I watched as jjs checks flushed with a light pink hue as she made herself comfortable. "Um I'm gonna go get a coffee does anyone want anything?" Morgan asked breaking the tense silence.

"ME." We all said almost in unison. "Bruh seriously. I don't have enough hands for that." She said letting out a deep sigh. "I can help." I heard Jj say. Everyone looked to me knowing how I felt about Morgan and how she felt about Jj.

"Um yea sure if you want." She said nervously. As Jj went to stand up a kept a tight hand around her waist pulling her harshly back into me. "Paige." She said softly. "I'll be right back. Text me what you want." She reassured me before placing a soft kiss on to my cheek and hopping up out of my lap.

After her and Morgan left. I just sat there my nerves through the roof and my knee bouncing up and down uncontrollably.

"Someone's jealsousss!" Kk said in an antagonizing tone.

It was a short drive to the coffee shop. Once we arrived me and Morgan made our way in placing one large order before waiting for our many drinks. Once we collected them all we made our way back to the car. As soon as we pulled back into the parking lot of the dorms I began to collect all my things.

"Jj wait." She said catching my attention. "I just need to say something to you." She continued nervously. I just nodded my head urging her to continue on. "I like you. As more than a friend. I want to take you out. Like on a real date." She said making my heart ache because I knew I was about to break hers.

I took her nervous hands in mine. "Morgan. You are so sweet and kind. But I don't feel that way for you. You probably don't understand most people don't. Paige has put me through a lot of shit. But I love her. I still want to be friends." I said as calmly as possible. "Thank you." She responded softly.

"For what?" I asked confused. "For letting me down softly." She said with a smile. All I did was smile back. I knew this was a conversation that we would have to have eventually. And I'm glad it was just us.

Once we made our way back inside I took Paige's coffee assuming she was in her room. I made my way down the hallway before opening the door to her room. "Finally I thought maybe she had just run away with you." She said standing up from her bed quickly and hugging me tightly.

"You're so weird you know that." I said handing her the drink I had in hand. "We talked." I quickly followed up. "About what?" Paige asked with a slight head tilt. "She told me she likes me. And I told her I love you." I said unsure about that last part. Paige just smiled softly still holding me in her arms.

She nodded her head happily. Not knowing what she was doing next she reached down to my jaw. Pulling my head up so now I was looking directly into her soft blue eyes. She leaned down being her head to my level. Before softly kissing me on the lip.

Her lips cushioned mine and felt so right. She pulled away not long after. I don't know what's going to happen next. But all I can hope for is the best. I want her to understand I can't do the no label thing anymore. I need to know that she is all mine. And I need her to know that I'm all hers.

How can I show her that I'm really here. That I really care. I want to show her that I'm gonna stay. On her worst days.
