Love The Game: Overtime

.Chapter 20.

The next couple of days with Sara were amazing. The day after we had our fight was awkward at first. When we woke up things were stiff, ridged. I felt terrible. I didn't know Sara had known anything about that night. After she had fallen asleep I was up all night. I couldn't stop replaying that night in my head. And then to think she pretended like everything was fine the next day, she didn't give me any indication that I had hurt her in any way. I was completely oblivious to her feelings. I held onto her all night long. Silently hating myself and simultaneously wishing with everything in me I could take back all the pain I'd caused her.

After we got past our little awkward spell Sara and I spent the whole weekend together. We stayed home, watched movies, talked about any and everything, drank wine, did other stuff. It felt good to just lock ourselves in our apartment. It was like we were in an alternate dimension, completely devoid of every problem around us. Totally cut off from the outside world, just us, the only two people on the planet. Spending so much time with her made me love her even more. I never get tired of her. I never need a break. I want to spend the rest of my days with her. All of them just like this.

-------------------------------------

Monday morning came and I didn't want to leave her side. I'm not the clingy type, but I was all over her. Thank god I don't have Kane today, because I'm definitely going to be late to class. As Sara was pushing me out the door, her class is later than mine, I didn't want to leave.

"Avery you're going to be late." I smiled then kissed her lips.

"So? I don't have Kane today. My teacher won't care if I'm a couple minutes late."

"Babe we haven't left the house in two days." Sara just smiled at me.

"What can I say? I don't get tired of you." I couldn't help but smile at my perfectly imperfect girlfriend. She gave me that little smirk hat drives me wild then said

"Good because you're stuck with me." And with that she kissed me again then shoved me out the door.

"I love you." She said.

"I love you more." With that I turned around and started for my car. I don't know if I've ever been this happy. I know for a fat that I haven't been in the last couple weeks, but these two days have been absolutely amazing.

The majority of my day was long and uneventful. Sara and I were texting all day while we were in class. I was even having a pretty funny conversation with Callie about a game we had last week. Callie's actually a really good friend. I told her everything that happened with Sara and she was really cool about it. As I was walking out of my last class I saw Alex walking towards me. She was on her phone so she wasn't really paying any attention to me, she had a weird look on her face. Since she wasn't looking at me I decided to keep walking. I wondered if she was in a fight with one of their friends. Sara told me that all weekend they were all fighting in a group message and then in private messages at the same time. The thought of that annoyed me. I ended up taking Sara's phone and hiding it in my basketball bag for a couple hours. In all honesty she didn't even mind it. I ignored all the thoughts in my head and walked towards my car so I could grab my clothes to change for basketball.

"So, you and Sara are good now?" Callie asked as we were walking out of the gym.

"Yeah. We stayed home all weekend and I don't know. It felt good to not have to deal with anything other than what movie we were going to watch next. We'd been fighting so much that it was getting hard to breathe, but I feel like everything's going to be okay now." I smiled thinking about Sara.
