CHAPTER THIRTEEN
calm before the storm!

iowa state, iowa city IA
W 70-57

     THE cheerleaders and the basketball players made a big circle around the arena before the game. it was an hour before the gates open and the other team were inside of the locker room leaving them alone.

"um, are we doing a seance?" stefani asked frowning her eyebrows and looking at both of the coaches.

"can we mediate in peace." coach lucy said closing her eyes and holding her hands out in front of her. the rest of the team went silent mocking lucy's actions.

"if we crawl very quietly we can escape." caitlin whispered to kinsley. lucy peeled an eye open and shushed them. caitlin and kinsley bit down their mouths to prevent a laugh from escape. kinsley looked at caitlin and then to the group. kinsley did the first step to go on her knees and no one batted a eye. probably because everyone was taking a nap or actually mediating.

kinsley scooted back. thankful she didn't have her shoes on so when she stood up all she had to do was slide. kinsley waved her hand at caitlin who silently took off her shoes and stood up gliding towards kinsley. the two girls glided to the locker rooms successfully without no one realizing they even left.

kinsley and caitlin giggled once they reached the inside of the locker room. kinsley intertwined her fingers with caitlin and she guided them over to the other exist of the locker room. the one that leads into the hallway of the building.

"come on." caitlin said now her being the one to pull them down the hallway. kinsley giggled pressing her head against caitlin's arm as she lead them into an empty room. it was a classroom to be exact.

kinsley sat on one of the desk and swung her legs as caitlin closed the door and locked it. she pulled down the blinds before turning around and smiling wickedly at kinsley. caitlin made her way to stand in between her cheerleaders leg.

kinsley was leaning back against the desk, her palms holding her steady and her eyes never leaving caitlin's. caitlin was feeling lucky since kinsley was wearing her cheer uniform, meaning she was in a skirt. kinsley held her breath as caitlin's larger and rougher hands glided up her legs. starting from her ankle, to her thigh.

"remember when you asked me what it is that i fantasize?" caitlin asked pulling kinsley closer to her. kinsley hummed lifting her hips up and pressing them against caitlins. kinsley sat up straight putting her hand on caitlin collarbone. "do you really wanna know kenny?"

kinsley looked between the lock door and caitlin. it was the heat of the moment and kinsley couldn't care less on where they stand right now because right now she wanted something and when she wants something she gets it. no matter the risks.

"show me."

"i've been meaning to ask," stefani said after the game. their girls won and it was finally time to take a big nap or go out to celebrate. the teams decided to just meet up at matt's house and do whatever they want since matt has a big ass house with multiple guest rooms. "what happened before the game? i've never seen caitlin smile so much neither have i seen you with such glow."

kinsley bit down her lip to prevent a grin to appear. she shoved her shoes and her pom poms inside of her bag. memories from earlier flashing through her mind.

"fuck, caitlin, uh-huh." kinsley moaned her slim fingers finding their way to caitlin's hair and holding onto it like her life depended on it. her other hand pressed on her mouth so that no bigger sound is made.

"baby, i need you to keep quiet or we're gonna get caught." she said holding her hips down and bringing her other hand onto kinsley's mouth.

"kinsley? kinsley! kinsley hello!" stefani said snapping her fingers in front of her face. kinsley blinked rapidly and gave stefani a confused look. "you zoned off and you're pupils got hella dilated and your pupils only do that when—" stefani cut herself off. she eyes kinsley then at caitlin who was getting out of the showers throwing over her hoodie and putting on her shoes. "kinsley elizabeth chung."

"my middle name is not elizabeth." kinsley muttered standing up. she changed her cheer uniform into the hoodie that caitlin gave her on their first official talk and had nike pros on. kinsley sat on the bench and slipped on her air forces while stefani stayed on the ground with her mouth wide open.

"did the mosquitoes attack you or what?" monika said with a laugh. caitlin frowned her eyebrows looking at monika who slapped her hand on caitlin's neck. caitlin hissed in pain and slapped monika away. caitlin then went over to the mirror and grinned to see the marks on her neck.

"mosquitoes?" stefani whispered to herself. she then reached forward and pulled down kinsley's hoodie. she had the same amount of marks on her neck, possibly even more. "you guys had sex?!"

"say it fucking louder won't you." kinsley snapped standing up, throwing her bag over her shoulder and grabbing stefani who did the same thing. kinsley and stefani hurried out of the locker rooms and into the parking lot.

"kinsley. spill." stefani said still shocked.

"we didn't have full on sex but we did do other stuff." kinsley muttered looking shyly down at her shoes and rocking back and forth.

"what." stefani gasped gagging.

"fuck kinsley." kinsley was about to physically pass out if caitlin moaned out her real name one more time because the way it was coming out of her mouth should get her thrown to pound town.

either way, kinsley felt proud that what she was doing to the tall athlete making her feel all kinds of pleasure and all kinds of noises was because of her. she was too cocky when caitlin accidentally let out a louder moan than hers.

caitlin could feel kinsley's grin against skin. caitlin fists up her hair that was already in a ponytail. "shut up." caitlin breathed out letting out a small cuss and kinsley bit down.

"i mean yay! but ew because you keep on zoning out and i can't help but assume it's because you're thinking back to your unholy business." stefani said raising her eyebrows at kinsley. the cheerleader only giggled her face turning into a bright red and her reaching into her bag for her car keys.

"come on, let's go get ready i think matt is throwing another party." kinsley said glancing behind her shoulder to see caitlin. kinsley purposely brought her thumb up to her lip and pretended to wipe something away. she send her a wink before going into the drivers seat.

the whole ride back home kinsley and stefani talked about their situationship. kinsley explained that her and caitlin went on an official date just the other day but that they aren't dating yet. stefani said something about how if she doesn't ask than to move on but that's the thing. kinsley doesn't want to move on any time soon. she doesn't want caitlin to leave.

"what if i ask her out?" kinsley said as they pulled up to their parking lot.

"what?" stefani asked unbuckling her seatbelt and glancing at her.

kinsley shrugged her shoulders turning off her car after putting it in park. "i'm saying what if i ask her out? just because she leans more towards the masculine side doesn't mean she's the only one that does the first step in whatever ship we are right now. i can be the upper hand too. she asked me out on a date, i can either ask her out or ask her to be my girlfriend."

"listen with whatever you decide to do i am here okay? i will help you set up the way you want to ask her out, i will help you with your wedding. oh you want me to be the maid of honor? of course!" stefani said leaning forward and throwing her arms around kinsley's shoulder. kinsley scoffed and laughed at her best friend.

"i'm happy that you're finally putting yourself first because after benard and your family, you deserve this." stefani said pulling away and putting her hands on kinsley's cheek.

"about that..."

• • •

kinsley kept in mind to never let stefani drive when she's mad. unless she has a death wish. "stefani can you slow down!" kinsley shouted holding onto the handle at the top of the door. kinsley shouted at the top of her lungs when stefani did a sharp turn.

kinsley then picked up her phone and called the groupchat. "hello?! hello?! stefani is going to kill us! i repeat stefani is going to kill—ahhh!" kinsley screamed when stefani came into a stop causing them both to go forward.

"we're here." stefani said innocently putting the car on park and smiling.

"save me." kinsley whispered hanging up in the phone and immediately getting out of the car. kinsley immediately kneeled down making sure that her dressed didn't hike up. she kissed her hand and placed it down on the concrete. "i'll never complain about my feet hurting ever again!"

"you're lucky that i'm taking my anger out on driving instead of going to kill him." stefani said standing in front of kinsley.

"i rather you kill him than kill me." kinsley mumbled standing up. stefani let out a giggle hooking their arms together. kinsley's heart was still racing after the death she just experience but it seemed to stop beating the second that her eyes landed on caitlin.

it was as if someone stabbed a knife right through her heart and she didn't have the ability to breath properly. just a fling. kinsley seemed to say in her mind. her and caitlin never said they were anything. the kiss didn't meant anything. what they just did didn't mean anything. but it did. it meant so much to kinsley.

"caitlin looks like so in pain." stefani said as she spotted caitlin as well.

"does she really? that girl looks so much prettier. she holds herself good, she even giggles. her makeup is gorgeous, her hair is straight and black." kinsley said tightening her grip on stefani. kinsley could automatically see that the girl caitlin was talking to was a copy and paste latina. kinsley always envied them. they were so beautiful.

and caitlin grinned and nodded her head. "you're reading to much into it. go get your girl, kins." stefani said pushing her best friend. kinsley only got a few steps in towards caitlin. the tall athlete immediately feeling her presence and glancing over to her. caitlin smiled widely about to go walk towards her and kiss her so passionately but she noticed the face drop from kinsley.

her eyes glancing between the latina and her. caitlin glanced down at the girl and then back at kinsley. shit. she realized how bad it looked that she was talking to another girl. someone passed by holding two cups in the air.

kinsley didn't care what was inside. she just needed to get burning feeling out of her chest and stomach. she couldn't believe that caitlin was having this affect on her. sure she's experienced jealousy but not as bad as this. this was worse.

she chugged down the drink along with the other one. it was time to get the party started. caitlin pushed past the girl and over to kinsley but the cheerleader was gone in the middle of the dancing floor.

caitlin groaned to herself and cursed at herself for not getting to her sooner. caitlin decided to sit back since she was the dd for the night but she wasn't paying attention to the rest of her friends or the party. she was only paying attention to kinsley.

kinsley kept on slapping and pushing anyone who got close to her or put their hands on her waist. none of them felt right and even if she was a bit tipsy, neither of their hands felt right. kinsley was happy and free dancing with herself. caitlin long forgotten. for a bit.

the song "lost on fire" by the weeknd started playin. kinsley and madison sang too loud and too proudly the part where it said, you said you might be into girls, but they didn't sing the part of said your going through a phase. they burst out laughing since they caught each other at the same time.

the instrumental part came on and kinsley felt a pair on hands on her hip. kinsley dropped her head and grinned to herself. those hands felt right and it was confirmed when she brought her head back up and tilted her head to the side.

she didn't say anything and continued to move her hips from side to side. kinsley bit down her lips feeling herself get hot as caitlin's eye lids were hung lowly and only one thing was displayed on her eyes.

kinsley spun around and slithered her arm around caitlin's arm. she pressed her body against caitlin feeling their heats dangerously close. "if i ever see you with a girl again caitlin, i will kill them and the blood will be on your hands and then kill you." kinsley whispered to her ear.

caitlin's breath hitch and her grip on kinsley's grip tighten. "got it?" kinsley hummed out giving caitlin a kiss on her neck. "say it."

"got it. my car is big you know."

and the rest is now part of history.
