Love & Basketball and the Androgynous (GxG)

Chapter 38- Testing Me

Desiree and Bridget woke up early Christmas morning and went back to Scarlett's house. Bridget couldn't believe the woman finally proposed it felt like a dream come true, now all she wanted to do was spend Christmas with her family. They made it back to Scarlett's around 6am, Bridget went straight to sleep but Desiree on the other hand was currently up watching Wicked Castaway.

Commander: You were banned you idiot! Why would you come back here?! You've probably lead Haulani and her tribe right to us. You put us all in danger Max!

Max: I wasn't going to stay away Commander! I have many reasons to come back here.

Commander: Reasons? What reasons could you possibly have to risk coming back here?

Max: (steps closer to her) You

Commander: You're an idiot for coming back...The troops would've killed you without batting an eye. Or had I not been here and someone saw you...Max... (she took a step back. But the whole time she was talking he kept coming closer)

Max: That's a risk I was willing to take! (He looked from her eyes to her lips. Closed any space left between them and crashed their lips together.)

Desiree gasped loudly, "No fucking way!" She hopped up and stormed upstairs to her sleeping fiancé, "Bridget..." she tried. The brunette was sound asleep, Desiree was being dramatic.

Bridget stirred after being shaken lightly, "Hmm Yes?"

"You kissed Chris?" Desiree asked.

Bridget cleared her throat and sat up a little, "What?"

"You kissed Christopher!" Desiree said louder.

"It's just a show Des," Regina yawned.

"So! You know I hate him, why didn't you tell me you kissed him," Desiree scoffed.

"Because I knew you'd act like this honey," she yawned again, "I can't believe you woke me up because of that. It's just acting ok? I have no interest what so ever in Christopher...or Max."

Desiree scoffed again, "How many more times do you have to kiss him?"

"Uh a few more, he's my love interest Desiree, it's been planned since the third season," Bridget said. Desiree simply shook her head before walking out, "Merry Christmas to you too!"

"Mom?" Bridget questioned as Scarlett opened the door, "You're in Chicago?"

"Well yes dear, my grand babies are here," Harriet stated, "I have yet to miss a Christmas with them. Where's Desiree dear?"

"Upstairs, waking up the boys," Bridget said, she looked down at her hand and smiled, "Want to see my engagement ring?"

Harriet placed a wickedly bright smile on her face, "You did it? She proposed? Well of course I want to see it dear."

Bridget held out her hand to her mother, "Isn't it beautiful."

"It definitely is, I knew I liked that Desiree," Harriet smiled, "I'm happy for you dear."

Bridget smiled, "Thank you. Oh I also was nominated-"

"I know about those honey, I'm extremely proud of you," Harriet nodded, "I knew you could do it."

Bridget had never heard her mother say that, it made her feel warm inside, "Thank you mom."

"Grandma!" Benjamin yelled as he rushed downstairs, "Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas, baby I have gifts for you. I also, have gifts for the youngest Knight, Donovan," she smiled.

"Donnie is walking now," Ben stated with a proud smile.
