Sweet Like Citrus, Sharp Like Game
16 parts Ongoing OrelΓa DeLiora isn't the type to chase players - on or off the court. She's a basketball manager at USC with a quiet love for ocean waves, morning fruit markets, and the kind of sun-drenched stillness you can only find after sunrise. Her life is routine, steady. Sharp. Just how she likes it.
Then comes Juju Watkins - USC's star player, magnetic, unstoppable, and just a little too bold for OrelΓa's carefully drawn lines. Juju plays like fire, talks like poetry, and looks at OrelΓa like she's the only person in the world worth knowing. And for the first time, OrelΓa doesn't want to stay in the background.
Between practices, late-night smoothie runs, and secret glances across the court, their worlds start to blur. But when the spotlight heats up, on the court and off, love gets complicated. Can something as soft and sweet as citrus survive the sharp edge of the game?
