"Damn they take everything to heart," I groaned as I seen the TikTok video. I sent it to Kate before swiping away. The door opened and I looked up seeing Caitlin walk in.
"Uh missy. Did you see the TikTok's and tweets I sent you?" She asked as I shook my head.
"Nah my phone is on dnd. What was it bout?" I asked as she laughed.
"You and Katie. They're like one thousand percent shipping y'all after that kiss," I groaned again, making Caitlin laugh as she plopped on my bed next to me. I rubbed my eyes before looking to her.
"What time do we have to leave again?" The season was over, and I was traveling with Kate and Caitlin to New York for the WNBA Draft.
"Uh like 8. Plane leaves at 10 so," she said as I nodded. I got up finally deciding to get dressed. I threw on grey sweats with a white cropped top and slippers down my crocs before grabbing my already packed suitcase.
"Okay it's like 7:48 now. Are you already ready?" I asked Caitlin as she nodded.
"Yeah I'm not taking anything. I'm pretty much just showing up for real,"she said as I nodded. We headed off the meet the rest for her girls and headed to the airport.
During the flight to New York, Kate and I found ourselves surrounded by our friends, Caitlin, Gabbie, and even some of our other friends that went to different schools like Paige and Hailey. They all knew about the growing connection between Kate and me, and their presence added an extra layer of comfort and excitement to the journey. As the plane ascended into the sky, Caitlin pulled out a her phone, adding us all to a group chat, and soon we were engrossed in a game of Uno, laughter filling the air as inside jokes and playful banter flowed freely. I just know the other strangers on the plane were sick of us. Kate leaned against my shoulder, her presence grounding me in the midst of the joyful chaos. Once the game ended, we settled back into our seats, the hum of the plane lulling us into a sense of peace. I caught Kate stealing glances at me, a soft smile playing on her lips. The tension between us was insane, the unspoken words hanging in the air like a promise of something more. It was during a moment of quiet contemplation, with the soft hum of the plane's engines in the background, that Kate reached for my hand, intertwining her fingers with mine. The simple gesture sent a jolt of electricity through me, sparking a desire to finally address the growing feelings we had been tiptoeing around. And as we landed in New York, the anticipation and excitement of the upcoming WNBA Draft mingled with the nerves of what was to come between Kate and me. As much as I was so happy and supportive of her and Caitlin, the sudden wave of reality hit me. There were a few teams near Iowa, but they were not close by any means. It's been so long since I've been without Kate, I don't know how I'll survive. Surrounded by the bright lights and energy of the city, the truth spilled out between us, setting the stage for a new chapter in our relationship. With our friends by our side, offering unwavering support and companionship, Kate and I stepped into the unknown, ready to navigate the twists and turns of love together. And as we embraced the future that awaited us, I knew that our bond was unbreakable, our love story destined to be written in the stars. Tonight was our last night with her being just an average college player, so we took advantage of it. As we walked through the crowded streets of New York, Kate and I stayed close to each other, our fingers intertwined. The city buzzed around us, but all I could focus on was the way Kate's presence filled me with a sense of calm and contentment.
"Jay, I've been wanting to talk to you about this for a while," Kate began, her voice soft but determined.
"I know we've never really put a label on whatever this is between us, but I want you to know that I've never felt this way about anyone before. And if you're on the same page, I'd love nothing more than to be with you, officially. I felt a rush of emotions flood through me at Kate's words. The sincerity in her eyes and the vulnerability in her voice made my heart swell with affection for her.
"I feel the same way, Kate. I've never been able to put into words what you mean to me, but I know that being with you feels right," I confessed, a weight lifting off my shoulders as the truth spilled out. Kate's smile was radiant, her eyes bright with happiness. She pulled me into a tight hug, the warmth of her embrace enveloping me in a sense of security and love.
"I'm so glad we finally talked about this," Kate said, her voice filled with relief.
"I can't wait to see where this journey takes us, Jada." And as we continued to explore the bustling streets of New York together, hand in hand, I knew that with Kate by my side, I was ready to face whatever the future held for us. Our love story was just beginning, and I couldn't wait to see how it would unfold.
