liv💗.

i knocked on the bathroom door because juju was out of bed when i woke up so i went to the guest bathroom to brush my teeth and do my morning routine.

"you okay ma ?" i asked knocking lightly.

"yes, im almost done" she replied instantly. i plopped down on her bed and sighed. i took the time to text hannah back.

a few seconds later she walked out. her hair was down and her curls were super curly.

"you look beautiful" i said making her smile and blush.

"thank you bae" she replied and i nodded.

"i made breakfast, come on" i said grabbing her hand leading her to the kitchen.

"thank you" she said as i handed her a plate. i nodded and sat down beside her. the silence was kind of awkward and i could tell we were both just tryna figure out what to say and where to start.

"i" ju started and then stopped exhaling.

"take your time mama, im here to listen when you ready" i said.

"idk what to say other than i'm sorry. the way i acted idk it wasn't me & it's not me. dying on the inside is literally holding me back" she said.

"you're fine baby. i'm sorry to. i understand why you felt like everyone was turning on you i promise i wasn't but as your gf your body comes before basketball at all times" i said.

"and i will admit that me saying your emotions were a lot to deal with was on my part. i been with you for 4 years it'll never be to much, but i don't want you putting basketball or anything else over your mental for this exact reason" i told her.

"i was so vulnerable and i needed someone to cry to but i didn't wanna be judged for being such a emotional person" juju said to me.

"and i will never judge you. some people are emotional and that's okay it's normal. besides hannah a crybaby to so you're not alone" i joked making her giggle.

"aye now ntm on my twin." she said shaking her head.

"liv" she mumbled making me look up at her.

"i love you.. and i know that i was being difficult idk i really didn't know what to do or how to feel" she said.

"i love you more mama. and nothing you will ever go through is gonna change that" i said.

"why were you so quick to realize i took your name out my bio ?" she asked making me chuckle.

"intuition, ik how petty you are so i had a feeling lol" i told her.

"man i was going through it omg." she said laughing.

"but i did put it back tho" she said showing me her phone.

"yeah with yo childish a**" i said making her giggle.

"so basketball ?" i asked.

"um.. idk tbh, idk if im ready to face them especially after how i acted ngl. and on top of that i've been mentally unhappy since the beginning of sophomore year" juju said.

"so you're not going back ?" i asked.

"idk it just doesn't feel like home anymore. thinking about transferring" she said looking at her fingers.

"girl you love LA & USC you really gone let this one little misunderstanding ruin yo love for the game ?" i asked.

"no it's not even that, idk it's been rough. i haven't been happy since freshman year ended" she admitted.

"that understandable. and yk i support you and everything you choose to do my love. go where yo heart desires" i said.

"thank you bae" she said and i nodded.

"i missed you" she said getting up wrapping her arms around my neck.

"i missed you more with yo stubborn a**" i said making her laugh.

"hey i was emotional okay" she said leaning down to kiss me.

"oh yeah im definitely aware" i said shaking my head

juju💕.

"so you and liv ?" my mom asked.

"we talked & we're good.. im working really hard on my communication skills & also being calm about situations cus im a crashout fr" i said.

"yeah i know.. i have no idea where you got that from cus me or your dad don't act like that" she said making me scoff.

"okay don't do me mom. im working on it" i said as we laughed.

"that's good. im so proud of you for hearing her out." she said hugging me.

"thanks mommy" i said.

"speaking of, you have a visitor my dad said making me look up. i saw liv and she had flowers in her hands.

"hey stink" i said excitedly.

"hey mama, these are for you" she said making me blush.

"omg i love them.. thank you" i said hugging her.

"anything for you pretty" she said.

"how was your workout ?" i asked.

"it was good.. very much needed" she said getting into bed beside me.

i took some cute pictures of the flowers she got me and posted them on my story. i exhaled and rested my head on her shoulder.

"you okay mama ?" she asked.

"mhm im slowly getting over this anxious feeling in my stomach" i mumbled.

"nervous ?" she asked.

"mm mm it flares up sometimes" i said. she interlocked our fingers and the butterflies in my stomach went crazy.

"can i tell you sum ?" i asked and she nodded looking down at me.

"i unblocked you on imessages before you flew to cali" i said making her stare at me.

"and you ain't tell me ?? ohh you petty. real petty" she said making me laugh.

"i thought you'd be smart enough to check again." i said shaking my head.

"lord the way i gotta deal with this for the rest of my life" she joked.

"yeah but you love me so" i said back.

"mhm wouldn't change it for the world" she said.

she lightly grabbed my neck forcing me to look at her. the way i still get nervous even after 4 years should be studied.

she pulled me towards me and kissed me making the inside of my body jump. just folded like a pretzel not gone lie.

"and we're not home alone" i breathed out to myself making her laugh.

"it's been 4 years bae, i still make you nervous ?" she asked.

"absolutely lol. if i looked like that i would get nervous to" i said making her chuckle.

"i love you" liv said making me lick my lips and smirk at her.

"i love you more" i said.

"yo ahh still freaky i see. ain't much changed at all" she said making me laugh.

"that's never gone change, but i need someone to match my freak" i said making her shake her head.

"i got you beautiful" she said. i stared at her and stood up making her look at me with a confused look on her face.

"bae wyd ?" she asked.

"nothing" i said moving her arms to her sides. i smiled at her and laid my body on top of hers wrapping my arms around her waists.

"you so clingy" she said making me hum.

"always and forever" i mumbled.

"so have you thought of any schools you might wanna transfer to ?" she asked.

"i have thought about South Carolina cus when i was about to commit it was between usc and south carolina but i feel like they packed already" i said.

"so maybe like lsu or ucla" i said and she nodded.

the only reason notre dame isn't a choice is because i feel like they also have a packed team at the moment.

"well wherever you decide to go, i support and yk imma be a fan" she said making me smile.

"thank you bookie" i said kissing her cheek.

i closed my eyes and i felt myself slowly start to drift off to sleep. i could hear liv's heart beating and that put me at ease.
