notes hi guys! this is my first ever fic and i really hope you like the first part of it ꨄ︎ if you have any request for future fics lmk :)
Paige and Azzi lay restless on their respective beds in the hotel room, watching a boring (not so scary) scary movie. It was nearly 2:00 am and for some reason they just couldn’t seem to fall asleep. They had been unsuccessfully trying to for the last two hours since they got back from dinner and everyone had gone their separate ways into their own hotel rooms.
The Uconn women’s basketball team had won their game in Zagreb against the Croatian All-stars, Azzi leading the Huskies with 38 points.
“Ughh, I’m so bored!” Paige threw her head back in exasperation, frustrated that she couldn’t just magically will herself to sleep.
Shifting in her bed, Azzi tried to refocus her attention on the film playing in front of her which Paige had honestly forgotten about.
“This movie sucks ass,” she said before grabbing the remote from the night stand and turning the TV off.
“Tell me about it,” Paige sighed right before a tempting idea popped into her head out of the blue. “Wait…Az, at what time does the pool close?”
The brunette’s face scrunched up in hesitation as she already knew from the tone of her voice that Paige was onto something.
“I don’t know… like at 12 or something?”
“Well, shit,” she cursed under her breath, dissapointed but something else quickly occurred to her.
“Are you crazy!?” her best friend shrieked in bewilderment.
“Aw come on, Princess. Don’t be a party pooper. It’ll be fun.”
“Paige, I’m not being a party pooper, I’m trying to not break the law. Geno will murder us if he hears about this!”
“Pftt chill, sneaking into a pool in not breaking the law. And Geno’s not gonna hear anything,” Paige countered, laughing to herself at how dramatic Azzi was being. She got up from the bed and stepped into her sandals.
“What are you doing?” Azzi watched as her roommate proceeded to walk towards the door of their hotel room.
“I’m going to the pool, with or without you,” she shrugged, a smug grin plastered on her face. She knew exactly what she was doing. Of course she wouldn’t go by herself, there’d be no fun in that. She’d said it because she knew Azzi wouldn’t let her go by herself.
The younger girl exhaled in annoyance and defeat, closing her eyes and trying to convince herself that this wouldn’t be so bad.
“The things you make me do,” she shook her head but couldn’t help the subtle smile that slipped its way onto her face when she looked up and saw Paige grinning from ear to ear. She’d won her over.
“It’s going to be fine, as long as we don’t make any noise we won’t get caught,” Paige assured Azzi, watching her remove the duvet which laid on top of her before getting out of bed.
“If we get in trouble it’s all on you though,” Azzi warned. Although a small part of her felt intrigued by Paige’s idea, she still couldn’t believe she had actually agreed to it.
“All on me,” she threw her hands up in surrender and waited for her best friend to put on her shoes before opening the door.
The hallway was eerily quiet but then again it was two in the morning. Paige let Azzi step out first and checked her pockets to make sure she had the card to unlock the door before she closed it behind them.
They began silently walking besides each other towards the elevators but before getting there, Paige pulled Azzi with her to turn the corner into the fire escape.
“Shhh!” Paige shushed her and whispered: “We can’t take the elevators or they’ll see us in the lobby. We have to get out by the back.”
She held onto her wrist gently as they hastily climbed down the stairs trying to be as quiet as possible. Azzi was starting to regret her decision to join Paige the closer they got to their destination. She’d never done something so crazed before and the thought of them getting caught put her nerves on edge. She couldn’t help but voice her dismay.
“Actually, let’s just go back. I don’t wanna go anymore.”
Paige slowed down her pace causing Azzi to stagger behind the blonde. Turning around to face her, Paige grabbed her hands and squeezed them firmly.
“Azzi, nothing’s going to happen. We won’t get caught and if we do, the worst that they’ll do is just send us back to our hotel room,” she tried to assure the girl in front of her.
“Just trust me…I got this,” she said as she let go of Azzi’s hands and walked down the few remaining steps before reaching the bottom.
Her best friend didn’t move, standing still in the spot she’d left her. Paige grabbed the handle of the exit door and turned her neck up towards where Azzi was.
“Come on, we’re here already anyways.”
Azzi hesitated but finally gave in, maybe she just needed to let go for a little and learn to have some fun. She traipsed in Paige’s direction and in a matter of seconds they were outside, the mellow breeze nimbly brushing past them.
“You see there’s nobody here, we won’t get caught,” Paige spoke as they both looked towards the gated pool just mere feet away from them. All the lights were off except for a single one at the entrance gate.
Azzi felt herself loosen up as she came to the terms with the fact that they really wouldn’t have much of a chance of getting caught, at least it seemed so from the looks of it.
The older girl walked towards the black metal gate and put her hands on the top of it. She examined it, trying to determine how exactly she’d manage to get both Azzi and herself past it. It wasn’t too tall, only coming up to her mid-waist, it wouldn’t be hard to jump over it.
“Can’t we just get in by the entrance?” Azzi whispered as she tentatively got closer to Paige.
“No dummy, it’s probably locked or has some sort of alarm system,” she laughed, “By the way, you can stop whispering now, there’s nobody around.”
Azzi squinted her eyes at Paige playfully before the girl jumped over the fence without warning. A scream threatened to escape Azzi as the thought of her best friend falling and hurting herself crossed her mind but Paige had landed steadily on her feet on the other side.
“You fucking scared me, idiot! Next time say something before you just jump like that out of nowhere,” she huffed, bringing her hans up to her chest to catch her breath.
“I- I don’t think I can,” she stuttered looking up and down the metal structure.
“Just put your foot on the bottom of it and jump up, I’ll catch you.”
“Oh yeah, the famous last words.”
“Bruh just do it, don’t think about it.”
Finally, Azzi took one deep breath in and went for it. Her hands gripping the top of the gate as tightly as they could as she hopped over it.
Her right leg tangled itself on one of the bars and she almost landed face first on the concrete but thanks to Paige who caught her, she was spared. She wound up on the ground, on top of her best friend who groaned in discomfort from the fall she’d taken. Multiple shrieks of terror had spilled from Azzi’s lips during the whole shebang and Paige worried that they might have been heard.
“Go and scream louder, why don’t you?” she grimaced as Azzi stood up, regaining her balance and allowing Paige to sit up. She arched her back and rubbed her spine with one of her hands.
“I almost died!” Her face twisted in vexation, she had no right to give Azzi an attitude when this had all been her idea.
“Whatever, big baby, at least we made it.” Paige looked up at her annoyed best friend and outstretched her arm, signaling for her to help herself up.
“Now lighten up and help me get up, we have the pool all to ourselves baby!”
Azzi tried to suppress the smile hiding behind her wary expression, but to no avail. She could never stay mad at Paige no matter how hard she tried and she hated that about herself. She took Paige’s hand and lifted her off the ground, letting go once she’d straightened herself out all the way.
“Fuck!” Azzi muttered and Paige looked at her, furrowing her eyebrows.
“Ugh we’re so dumb, we forgot our swimsuits,” Azzi whinged at the realization, “So we basically just did all this for nothing.”
“Oh…uhh just get in with your clothes on,” Paige shrugged it off and started walking towards the deep end of the large, unlit pool.
“Yeah good idea! So then when we get out and go to our room we’ll get everything wet,” the younger one retorted sarcastically following close behind the blonde one as she removed her sandals and placed them near the edge of the pool.
“Actually, I have a better idea… let’s just get in naked,” she said making Azzi gasp in horror.
“Are you out of your damn mind?”
“What?! You’re the one who doesn’t want to get your clothes wet,” she countered in defense, her back to Azzi as she lifted her white t-shirt over her head and threw it on the ground.
Azzi swallowed hard as she tried not to lower her gaze at her best friend’s toned abs.
“You already dragged me all the way down here, there’s no way I’m getting in there naked.” She crossed her arms, bouncing her left leg impatiently.
“The pool lights are off, we won’t be able to see anything anyways.”
The thing was, Azzi had caught feelings for Paige over the years they had known each other. Somewhere between all the time they had spent together, admiration had quietly turned into attraction, and now it was impossible for Azzi to ignore. When Paige casually suggested they jump into the pool naked, Azzi felt her composure slip. It wasn’t because she was embarrassed to be naked herself—it was because the thought of seeing Paige’s undeniably sexy body up close sounded like the fastest way to completely lose her control.
“Well, what if we get caught or actually, what if w-” Azzi was so distracted coming up with random excuses that she hadn’t noticed her best friend had taken off her sweatpants and was in the process of removing her black sports bra and boxers until she looked down.
Her eyes widened in shock and she spun around so quickly she almost lost her balance.
“PAIGE!” she squealed causing the other one to chuckle in amusement as she finished taking off her underwear.
“What? It’s not like we haven’t changed in front of each other before,” she said with a smirk on her face.
Correct, but there was a pretty big difference between catching a glimpse in a locker room and voluntarily spending the night trying not to admire your attractive body.
As soon as Azzi heard the splashing of water that indicated Paige had jumped into the pool, she let out a breath of relief.
“You can turn around now,” the girl coaxed right after surfacing from the water. Azzi hesitated but circled, looking down to face Paige. Don’t look down. Don’t look anywhere except her face. You can survive this if you just keep looking at her eyes.
A sheepish smile rested on Paige’s face once Azzi met her gaze.
“What are you smiling at?” she questioned cautiously and Paige sucked in her cheek, trying to contain her urge to laugh.
Azzi raised an eyebrow at her as she drifted further from the edge of the pool.
“This just feels nice,” she admitted, this time not holding back the silly chuckle slipped from her lips.
“OH MY GOD EW, PAIGE!” she grumbled but wound up laughing along with her in the end.
“Just saying, you’re missing out,” she shrugged, her mischievous dimples distracting Azzi as she removed her shoes and took a seat on the rim of the pool. Waddling her feet in the tepid water, she couldn’t stop her wondering eyes from peering down at Paige. Her boobs- STOP, AZZI, STOP!
Azzi fixed her gaze back to Paige’s face before she could notice her staring. She didn’t realize Paige was swimming towards her, ready to splash her in the face until a handful of water fell forcefully against her skin.
Azzi wheened from the blow right before she felt Paige tug one of her legs into the pool with her strong hands.
“I’m NOT getting in!” she exasperated, holding onto the cold, tiled rim of the pool.
“Yes, you areee,” Paige sang, playfully taunting her. She tugged her once more, this time causing Azzi’s grip on the rim to weaken.
“Okay, Okay!” she surrendered and Paige loosened her grip on Azzi’s leg.
“Let me go so I can take this off,” Azzi pulled on her shirt and Paige reluctantly unhooked her hand from her. Expecting for the brunette to not actually get in but run away somewhere where she couldn’t reach her.
To Paige’s surprise, Azzi stood up and grabbed the ends of her oversized t-shirt but before completely pulling it over her head, she spoke.
“Turn around and no peeking.”
“Bro, you’re ridiculous,” Paige said, though she did as she was told, the water around her rippling as she spun in the opposite direction. Even though Azzi knew they were alone she checked her surroundings, just in case, before finally removing her shirt.
The gentle wind that skimmed past her newly exposed skin caused her nipples to harden as she began removing her shorts. While she continued undressing herself, she heard water move in the pool and she instantly froze.
“Don’t you dare turn around!”
“I’m not even moving!” Paige protested and laughed, throwing his hands up in the air.
Azzi exhaled and as soon as she had removed the last piece of clothing from her body, she slowly dipped into the pool. The water felt nice against her skin and she couldn’t deny that skinny dipping was much more enjoyable than she’d expected.
“Are you in?” Paige spoke her back still turned to her best friend. Once Azzi was reminded of Paige’s presence, she subconsiously brought her arms up to her chest obstructing in from the view.
Paige turned around and faced her, noticing the drops of water which stuck to her face from when she’d splashed her.
“So… how is it?” she asked her, her mouth curving into a smile whilst Azzi looked up as if she was looking for a response in her head,
“Better than I thought,” she shrugged giving Paige a lopsided grin.
“See, I told you!” She swam closer towards the brunette and Azzi suddently felt her heart rate double in speed. Don’t let your gaze drop, don’t let your gaze drop. She opened her mouth to speak but no words were coming out and she couldn’t find it in her to move away.
“I- um…” she muttered not understanding why she felt as though the atmosphere around them had changed into something she couldn’t really discern.
Paige tilted her head, a small, amused smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. “You okay?”
“What is it, Az?” Paige questioned, her voice lower than it had been before.
“Never mind,” the brunette spoke, so softly Paige had barely heard her. Azzi’s eyes fixed on Paige’s as they quietly stood there for a few seconds before he dared to move even closer.
Now only mere inches from each other, Azzi took notice of how her breathing was becoming more and more ragged the longer they looked at one another. They were so close she could almost feel Paige’s body heat circulating in the water.
Paige’s dark pupils flared and Azzi was overtaken by a sudden urge she was familiar with, one that always arrived at the worst possible moments. The curve of Paige’s neck and the protruding vein which ran down its side caught her attention. She felt her stomach twist into knots as she tried to steady her breathing.
Azzi barely acknowledged the sounds the water made when Paige moved her hand up to tuck a curl behind her ear. Her breath hitched in the back of her throat at the gesture and she felt her legs grow weak beneath her.
Out of instinct, she unfurled her arms from her chest. She had been exposed before, but never quite like this—not with Paige watching her just inches away. Her brown orbs travelled down to Paige’s mouth and before she even had time to think about what was happening, Paige crashed their lips together.
The feeling of Paige’s soft mouth raptured Azzi, sending shivers down her body. She’d imagined this hundreds of times, but nothing could have prepared her for this moment. It just felt so right, their lips fitting each orher like puzzle pieces. But Azzi wanted more.
She wrapped her arms around Paige’s neck, pulling her closer towards herself as the kiss deepened into something more. The sensation of their boobs pressing together caused wetness to pool between her legs.
They pulled apart to catch their breaths and Azzi squeezed her things together looking for friction, for release, for something, anything.
“Fuck,” Paige groaned but quickly pulled Azzi back into the kiss, tangling her fingers into her curls. She pushed the younger girl against the wall of the pool and Azzi melted into her touch, allowing her hands to wonder all over the other girl’s back.
Azzi felt a thigh nudge between her legs and and she gasped into the kiss. Paige’s tongue brushed against her lower lip, asking for entrance, and Azzi parted her mouth, letting her in. One of Paige’s hands travelled down Azzi’s back and onto her ass. She squeezed the flesh and was rewarded with a muffled moan in response.
Paige had never been this wet in all of her life, what she felt in the moment was indescribable. All she knew was that she’d never wanted anything or anyone this desperately. She separated their mouths and began peppering kisses down Azzi’s jaw and onto her neck. Their heavy breathing and Azzi’s occasional whimpers filling the air which surrounded them. Azzi moved one of her hands up to Paige’s head, grasping her hair gently as the blonde sucked on her sweet spot.
“P-Paige…” she breathed out and Paige came back up to her mouth, connecting their lips once more. Their bodies moved against each other and wherever their skin touched, it felt as if it burned with yearning.
“We…can’t…k- ugh…keep going,” Paige spoke between kisses. It was hard to get the words out when her best friend, who she had always wanted in ways she couldn’t have, was all over her.
Azzi pretended not to hear her and continued exploring her mouth with her own tongue, reveling in her taste. Paige cupped Azzi’s face with her hands and involuntarily thrust her hips against the other one and sighed in pleasure at the friction it created.
She needed to stop herself before going any further, they couldn’t keep doing this there. It took everything in her to control herself and pull away but she did it before it was too late.
The brunette whimpered at the loss of contact, she tried to pull her back in but Paige mildly gripped her shoulders to keep her at a distance.
They both were panting heavily, shocked at what had happened yet still wanting to continue.
“We can’t keep doing this here,” Paige groaned as she looked at Azzi and noticed how red her face had become. Her lips were swollen and pink and her damp hair was tousled.
“Let’s go up to our room then,” She advised and was startled by her own words.
Paige breathed in heavily, her eyes burning with fervor as she nodded. Turning around, Azzi pushed herself up and out of the pool as Paige backed up.
She could feel the blue eyes burning holes into her back as she briskly threw on her t-shirt which uncomfortably stuck to her wet skin as it fell down to her mid-thigh. She didn’t worry about putting her shorts or underwear and instead grabbed them and held them in her hand.
Paige began getting out of the pool and Azzi kept her back to the blonde, giving her privacy. Though after all that had just transpired between them, there was really no need.
Paige did the same as Azzi and put on her shirt and sweatpants, sticking her sports bra and boxers into the pockets.
She walked towards her best friend once she was done and her eyes couldn’t help but move down to Azzi’s chest. Her damp shirt stuck to her skin revealing her hard nipples beneath the fabric.
She averted her gaze and gulped, shutting her eyes and opening them back up quickly to regain her composure before she spoke.
The two best friends headed for the gate and helped each other over it, this time no injuries or falls occured. Once they both were on the other side, Azzi surprised Paige by grabbing her hand and entwining their fingers.
Paige’s face turned crimson but she didn’t have any time to feel flustered before Azzi hastily pulled them towards the fire escape door they had used earlier that night.
