Paige bueckers
"PAIGE MADISON BUECKERS!" I could hear what sounded like the whole team shouting as soon as I walked through the doors into the practice gym. I know exactly what this is about they wasn't tot know anything and everything that happened with me and Jj.
"What can I help you with." I responded calmly as I set my stuff down on the bench. "What's this?" Kk asked shoving her phone in my face with the picture Jj had posted on her Instagram story on her screen. "Um it's this thing called a story you post them for your followers to see and-." She cut me off sharply.
"Yes I know that sassy pants. I mean you and Jj what's going on?" She asked placing both her hands on her hips. Posing like a mom. "We all want to know." Azzi said taking the seat next to me on the bench as they all huddled around me.
"Well if you really want to know we kind of maybe said I love you to each other and not in the best friend way at all." I said as I began to lace up my shoes keeping my eyes low knowing my cheeks were tinted with a deep blush. "How do you know it wasn't in a best friend way?" Aubrey asked suspiciously.
"Because after we said it we may have kissed and other stuff." I responded trying to be very unspecific. "Other stuff?" Ice questioned. "Yes other stuff that is none of your guys business." I said still very shyly.
"Alright ladies let's get to work." Luckily Geno interrupted their conversation just in time for me to stop being grilled before she said too much.
As they lined up to begin drills Azzi stood right beside me. "Tell me." She said plainly. "Come on Paige we've been best friends since we were 16 and I know there something you're not telling me." She continued unfazed.
"It's not official." I said slightly embarrassed. "There it is. So you guys said I love you and kisses Ect. But she's still not your girlfriend." She said her tone hinting at disappointment.
"It's hard okay. We've only ever been best friends." I responded. "Not true." She said bluntly. "How?" I questioned . "You've had sex that's not best friends." She said back simply.
"Well ok then we have never had a label other than best friends. And we need to talk about our family's and coming out and being honest. But how much that entails because you know I can't come out until at least after college." I said as we began our drill passing the ball to her.
"You can do all that. I know you can. It might be hard but you love that girl right?" Azzi questioned. "Of course I love her." I responded trying my best not to blush too deeply.
"Well when you love someone you have to have the hard conversations and say that awkward stuff. You have to do all you can so if something does happen you have no regrets. You have been loving Jj in secret for so long now.
Love her out loud. That's what she deserves and you do to." Azzi said before stepping back and hitting a three.
She's to smart to be so good at basketball.
After practice I met up with Jj in her office. She went on to me about the same old same old. How she never gets the recognition she deserves but I always listen and validate everything she says.
"Hey how about we go get some dinner then head back to my place." I suggested. "That sounds so nice." She said jumping up out of her office chair and hugging me tightly.
I held her just as tight. This time I have her. I have all of her and I'm not letting go. I'm going to do the hard things and have the hard conversations because I love this girl so damn much.
"Maybe we could talk to?" I questioned nervously. "You know about us?" I continued.
Her reaction was calm and even helped calm my nerves. "Yea that's do that." She said with a huge smile.
