You park your car in the practically empty parking lot, get out of the car and walk through the corridors holding two bottles from the vending machine until you finally reach the court where your friend – hookup – girlfriend was training. Yeah, it was confusing, but for now, it still worked.

Riley was a hopeless romantic, or as she liked to joke and say "incapable of loving less" but that was just an excuse to be emotional and a little obsessed with you. You on the other hand, were cold, anxious, hated feelings and were allergic to the phrase "I love you".

While Riley swallowed her jealousy, tried not to rush things and push you away, you made a point of breaking her heart, not realizing that sometimes your coldness was a little too much for her soft little heart to take.

But Riley tried to ignore it, it wasn't like you were a horrible, indecent human being or treated her badly, it was just that sometimes you didn't know how to show your feelings or you needed more space than Riley and made her think you didn't want her around.

All Riley wanted was to put a ring on your finger, call you her girlfriend, and kiss only your mouth for the rest of her life. But you didn't make the process easy, It took four months just to kiss you for the first time, then another two to sleep with you, and now you were finally letting her get to know you for real.

You enter the court and greet some girls from Riley's team, who are leaving, but obviously Riley, being stubborn as she is, stayed to train more. They had a championship coming up and Riley was the team captain, she was very demanding of herself.

Riley is sweaty and tired, she just wants to go home, but she never knows when it's time to back off so she keeps training. She hits the ball on the ground and when she finishes shooting it in the basket she hears your giggle and her eyes fall on you, her heart pounds, her eyes shine and part of her brain calls her an idiot.

She knows you always come to pick her up after training, a silly bet you lost and that was your punishment, one Riley meticulously chose to spend time with you and you didn't complain.

I gotta say, i'm shocked you're still coming to pick me up. Riley says teasingly when she sees you, she takes the water you offer and smile at you trying to contain the happiness she feels when she sees you, she hates this dance trying not to scare you away.
