Annie's pov:

We finished the movie and the girls went to their dorms and only Paige stayed "Bye An, bye Sah, bye Paigey" Nika said the last part in a teasing tone "Bye girls, enjoy your night" Azzi said also teasing Paige making her roll her eyes "Goodnight girls" I said laughing at the way they were making Paige mad and closed the door "I'm going to my room An. And Bueckers, I've got my eye on you okay?" Sarah said in a protective but playful tone, deep down I knew she meant it and I think Paige too "Don't worry Cameron" Paige winked at her "Good night Sah" I gave her our typical good night hug and she went to her room.

"Do you want to grab a snack before go to my room? I made cookies earlier" I said walking over to Paige who was still sitting on the couch waiting for me "sure" Paige and I went to the kitchen and ate some chocolate cookies I made in the morning with a glass of milk "This reminds me of my childhood" Paige said getting closer to me still eating her cookie "really?why?" I asked curious about her chilhood "My mom used to make cookies for me when I was sad" she said taking a bite of her cookie "aww this is so cute" I said looking at her and taking a sip of my glass of milk "I used to bake with my mom when I was sad, in fact I still do it when im in a bad mood" I let out a laugh remembering the moments with my mom when I lived with her "Was it she who made you want to choose photography?" Paige said with a interested face, no one has ever asked me or been curious about why I chose photography or why I love it so much, I looked at her with a suprised face "kind of, I actually always loved taking pictures, it's like im making the moment permanent you know?" Paige nodded listening to me, so I continued "My mom is the person I love most in the world, she is my inspiration, so I guess she had a certain influence on my choice, but in good way. And with the photos, I can capture the most vulnerable details in people that no one would see if weren't the photos, and when my mom showed me how it worked and how she seemed so happy doing it I just knew that photography was what I wanted ...sorry for talking too much I should stop-" "No, I love hearing you talk...It's beautiful how you talk about photography with so much passion, and you are really good at what you do, by the way you should show me your work that you've never shown me" Paige said looking at me, her eyes were showing a gentle side of her that was really rare to see, I like this side of her "And what about you, what made you choose basketball?" I asked wanting to know more about her "I guess I always knew, my parents say that I was dribbling a ball before I could walk" We both laughed at her words we were feeling connected and closer as if we had known each other for 20 years "When I'm in the court all my thoughts go away, I know that every time I need to relax the court will be there waiting for me, It's what I've loved doing since I was a kid, you know?" I nodded looking into her eyes understanding more than I expected, even though we are in different areas our passion for what we do it's the same "Do you have any siblings?" Paige asked me eating another cookie "No it's just me and my mom, I also have an aunt that is more like a sister to me" I said letting a low laugh missing my family "you're a only child hum? That's why you're so spoiled" Paige said teasing me "What?I'm not spoiled" I said shocked by her words "Im just kidding babe" Paige said taking my hand playfully "Do you have any siblings?" I asked her this time "Yes I do, I have two brothers and a sister, you should meet them you'll love them especially Drew, my lil brother" The thought of meet Paige's family crossed my mind making me wonder what it would be like if the things between me and Paige go futher and we take the next step, who knows if she feels the same way about me, my face blushed a little "Yeah I would love to meet them some day".

Paige and I sat in the kitchen for a few minutes finishing our cookies and talking about our family and other personal things, when we fell silent it wasn't a awkward silence it was a comfortable silence, like we didn't need to say anything just our presence was enough, then we went to my room.

I gave Paige one of her pants that she had forgotten in my dorm for her to sleep, and she decided to only sleep in her sports bra, she didn't know what she did to me sleeping like that, actually I didn't really know how to describe the feeling she make me feel.

I put on my pajamas, wich were a satin shorts with a satin tank top, when I came out of the bathroom and went back to my room Paige was sitting on my bed using her phone, then she just looked at me "are you already going to sleep?" I said jokingly with her because it was a little early to sleep "only if you want to" She sat on the bed pulling me closer between her legs looking straight into my eyes "Im not feeling sleepy right now" I said shyly from the way she was staring at me "Why you don't show me what you do the best?" Paige said gently rubbing my leg "You mean the photos?" "What else would I mean?" Paige said with a tease smirk making me blush "okay..." I let go of her legs and grabbed my laptop, sitting next to her on my bed I started showing her some pictures I took, in their practices, random days, my family, friends.

"You're really good" Paige said turning to look at me "Thank you P" I said feeling her getting closer, even though it was impossible "You know...You've been in my mind lately" She said resting her head on her elbows looking at me, I placed my laptop on the nightstand "why?" I asked whispering "I don't know, you intrigue me, you make me want to know you more every day I talk to you" Hearing Paige say that was something I didn't expect "You've been on my mind lately too" I said without looking into her eyes "is it?" She tucked a strand of hair behind my ear looking deep into my eyes "why?" She said whispering matching my tone "Your confidence and determination make me want to get know you, and the way you make me feel special and important, it's just...different" I said not knowing how to explain this feeling to her "can I kiss you Annie?" Paige asked, she knows she can kiss me, but the fact that she asked to know if im comfortable with it it's so important to me "yes" Paige closed the space between us with a gentle kiss that suddely turned into a fast one, my heart was racing so fast that I think she could hear it, her hands were all over my body making me feel feelings I'd never felt before, my hands were playing on her neck gently holding her hair.

Suddely she was on top of me kissing my neck making me let out a low moan, Paige was playing with the hem of my top and then she let go of my neck to look at me "is this okay?" I knew what we were doing, I was feeling feelings I had never felt before, I didn't know if I was going to regret this later, but at that moment all I could think about was the blonde who was on top of me asking if she could take my shirt off "uh-hum" I answerd "words baby" Paige said leaving small kisses on my neck "yes please" I said, I couldn't wait any longer I needed Paige to do something, did I know what I needed her to do? No, but I knew I needed her "I need you Paige" I said already breathless from the feeling she was causing in me, Paige took this as a sign that I was really okay with this, because since that moment Paige and I spent the night discovering sides of each other that neither of us had seen yet, I was discovering a side of myself that I had never known too, and I was grateful that Paige was the one who was with me at this moment, someone I trusted and felt comfortable with, we aren't dating yet, but I know we both mean something special to each other and tonight was the proof of that.

Paige's pov:

The morning came and I woke up first, for the first time I didn't leave in the middle of the night and I didn't want to.

We were both in just our underwear and Annie was sleeping in my arms, she was so beautiful sleeping, I couldn't belive that we were finally starting to be something else, I just can't mess it up this time.

I looked at my phone and it was still 7am, so I decided to sleep more.

Today we don't have practice, just some workouts in the weight room, so I could sleep until 10a.m.

Annie's pov:

I woke up felling someone in the bed with me, and suddely the flashbacks of last night came to my head, I looked to my side and Paige was there, sleeping like a angel, I couldn't belive that everything from last night really happend.

I'm a morning person so I usually wake up very early and can't sleep anymore, then I heard a noise coming from the kitchen and decided to make some breakfast for Paige and I, I left her arms carefully not wanting to wake her up because it was still 8 in the morning, I put on a random oversized t-shirt and went to the kitchen.

"Morning Sah" I said stretching my body "Good morning noisy" Noisy? What does she meant by noisy? "What do you mean?" I asked going to the counter grabbing the ingredients for the pancakes "Nothing...but how was it? Is she good in bed?" Sarah asked casually sitting in the counter next to the oven "WHAT? How do you know?" I screamed a little and lowered my tone remembering that Paige was still asleep "First, you have that afterglow in your eyes, second, you're wearing her shirt" I looked down at myself as I mixed the pancakes "come on An don't try to lie to your bestie" "okay...it was good" I said shyly and blushing remembering "Just good? Or GOOD" She emphasized the last 'good' "GOOD" I replied laughing "Oh my good, Annie finally had sex, im so proud of my baby" Sarah said pretending to cry, I could only laugh, I love how Sarah makes me feel comfortable even when she is teasing me.

"Okay, but what happend with KK? I thought she was going to spend the night too" I said finishing frying the pancakes "Don't try to change the subject An" Sarah said avoiding the question "You're the one trying to change the subject, I already told you I had sex with Paige, do you want the details? Because if you want I can-" "NO thank you" we both laughed "It's just...complicated" Sarah said looking at her feet "Are you two not talking anymore?" I asked gently approching her, leaving the pancakes on the table "We just need a time, you know? We'll figure it out" She said trying lighten the mood "You know you can talk to me right Sah? Just don't be so hard on yourself, you deserve someone who really likes you" "thank you An" I gave her a side hug "But you should go to see your loved one, I think she is awake" Sarah said looking at my room "You're right..." "What? Are you embaressed now?" She giggled, I was a little...shy, maybe "shut up Sarah".

I walked into my room and Paige was still laying on my bed but with her eyes open "Hi babe" Paige said "come lay with me" she opened the blanket making room for me and I went "Good morning" I said giggling at the way she was hugging and kissing me "good;" She left a kiss on my forehead "morning" and another kiss in my lips "Did you sleep well?" I asked not knowing what to say, but I didn't care "I couldn't have slept better" We both laughed, Paige's hand was on the back of my thigh rubbing it gently, my hands were on her arms giving a calm massage, we just stayed there for a few minutes looking into each other's eyes, nothing was necessary to say.

"What is that smell?" Paige asked finally breaking the silence "I made breakfast" "Really?" She asked suprised "Yeah, do you want to eat?" "Can we stay like this for a few more minutes, please?" She asked making a cute please face "Of course, my love" I giggled, and I could tell Paige blushed little "you're perfect Annie, you know that?" She kissed my lips softly "So are you P" I kised her back, we were both giggling like teenagers.

Was it a dream? I couldn't belive I was actually living this. After Paige ate the breakfast she left for her workouts, and I stayed in my dorm doing some work, studying and homework, today we still had a party to go to, and for the first time I was excited for it, nothing could go wrong this time.

A/N

Hello again

Finally part 2, just to be clear, I won't write smut, okay? Writing this chapter was already a bit uncomfortable, so I tried to keep it to the minimum details.

The next chapter will probably be out next week (because of the new year).

Also, I had an idea for a Nika Mühl story, maybe that will be my next book.

Sorry for any mistakes, hope you have a great end of the year, see ya 🤍
