âtell us again why youâre still with her?â
azzi paused for a moment before continuing, âbecause she treats me better than any girl or guy iâve ever been withâ
âso youâre sayin in the 2 months yall have been together sheâs treated you better than riley?â leila, one of azziâs friends had asked.
âyes leila, i donât know how many times i have to tell you i literally caught her cheating,â azzi sighed, palming her forehead as she shook her head subtly.
âwell yeah but before all that mess she wasnât good at all,â questioned another one of azziâs friends.
azzi was fed up with the same talk that seemed repetitive for weeks now. it felt like no matter what they couldnât accept the fact that azzi moved on from riley.
it sometimes made azzi dwell on it, not because she misses her but because she feels like she ruined her group's dynamics since they all had grown up together.
âi mean i guess but she just never made me feel special or at least not how paige doesâ azzi smiles faintly at the mention of her girlfriend.
âwhat even is paigeâs deal, like i swear weâve never met her, we just know she drives a beat-up car and works as a mechanicâ
âwhich is kinda crazy if you think about it because wouldnât she have a nicer car by now since sheâs a mechanic,â questioned julian, leilaâs boyfriend.
ârelax julian itâs not like youâre driving anything better,â she rolls her eyes, âor anything at all,â azzi mumbles the last part.
âplus you just use leilaâs car to drive you both around because sheâs too scared to get her licenseâ
âease up az weâre only jokingâ
âyeah az itâs not our fault she drives a carcacha,â jamie said, cracking up.
they all look at him with confusion written all over their face as he was making a scene laughing obnoxiously and slapping his knee.
it wasnât until julian spoke up, âwhat the hell are you talking about jamie?â
âbruh carcacha is a term for a beat-up, old, rusty car which is literally what paige drives!â he exclaimed.
they all burst out into laughter after realizing what he was trying to say at both his joke and the fact that he had to explain said joke.
â you know what, iâm not just gonna sit here and let you guys talk badly about her, sheâs perfect in every way and i wouldnât change a thing about her,â azzi had said sternly before getting up from her seat near the pool to try and calm herself.
she grabbed her phone, ignoring the looks around her and walked away from them going near the mini bar.
they could never understand how truly amazing paige is, all they cared about was their wealth and status. sometimes azzi questioned her friendship with them because nowadays it seemed like all they wanted to do was pick on her for being someone who âwasnât up there caliberâ.
azzi was getting tired of being around them and so with that she called the only person who genuinely understood her and would make her feel much more comfortable.
after the second ring paige picked up.
âhey baby sorry i couldnât answer quickly. i was wiping my hands, they were drenched in oil,â paige explained with a chuckle at the end of the sentence.
âitâs okay p,i was just wondering when youâll be out, i kinda wanna leave and hang out with youâ
azzi was ready to leave as soon as paige had dropped her off and the first thing her friends said to her was, âwhat the hell is that?â which they were referring to paigeâs car driving off after they saw azzi get out from the passenger side.
to which azzi flipped them all off and started walking inside to get checked in. (and yes they all followed her like lost puppies)
âi thought you wanted to hang with your friends?â the blonde questioned.
âi tried to but it seems like every time i do, i get shit on for being with you and while i donât care what they have to say it sometimes is just draining that we canât have a simple hang out without them bashing you,â
paige could hear the tint of anger behind that sentence so like the good girlfriend she was she offered a solution.
âdonât you worry az, iâll be there soon babyâ
azzi paused for a moment, âare you sure paige, i donât want you to get in trouble with your dad,â she said anxiously.
âyou donât have to worry about that, iâll be there in 15 okay? i love you az,â the blonde smiled.
now azzi knew paige had the fattest fucking grin ever and that only made her smile wider.
after the call ended paige couldnât stand hearing her girlfriend's voice seem so small when in fact azzi is lightyears beyond that pitiful word.
she scrambled to get her stuff together and texted her dad letting him know that azzi needed her and sheâll work a double later on in the week.
paige hopped into her 1999 chevy silverado which was indeed rusting and recently the paint on top of the hood had begun to peel.
now the question was could paige have bought a new car? definitely.
did she want to? absolutely not.
that truck belonged to her grandpa and he had passed it on to her before he passed away.
the only reason paige didnât keep it tidy on the outside was because her grandpa always said that not every truck needs restoration and that sometimes itâs weathered outside just means it has memories a paint job could never express.
paige honestly has no idea how azzi hangs with them; what paige hears from the brunette is that they all are selfish and would genuinely leave each other for dead if it came to that.
paige brushes off the thought and she starts the truck up listening to the engine spluttering before eventually sounding somewhat normal.
she yanks off and starts driving to the country club she knows azziâs at.
a few minutes go by of her driving until she comes to a halt at a red light.
as sheâs waiting at the light she spots a lady in her maybe mid 40s, selling a huge thing of flowers. the sign said âramosâ and paige had no idea what that meant so to the blonde it just looked like bouquets on steroids.
nonetheless she bought some for azzi; she got her pink and white flowers with a pink outer layer and a cute crown on top.
she set it cautiously on the passenger side and went off after thanking the lady profusely and giving her more money than was necessary.
paige, true to her word, had made it in 15 minutes and was texting azzi to come outside.
unfortunately for her, she realized azziâs phone died because the message she had sent didnât go through.
she quickly turned the truck off and unbuckled her seatbelt before basically jumping out of the truck. paige ran to the other side almost tripping but catching herself on time.
she grabbed the ramo very gently not trying to ruin it and immediately started to speedwalk towards the entrance.
she ran into a problem though.
âwe cannot let you in if you do not have a membership,â the front desk clerk told paige for the tenth time in the last 20 seconds.
âplease maâam iâm here to see my girlfriend sheâs at the pools and her phone died so i couldnât text her to come outside,â paige pleaded with the woman.
âlisten, i canât let you in the back but i can call and ask her to come to the front?â
âyes please, that works too. I just need to see her!â
âokay whatâs her name?â the clerk asked.
âwait,â the clerk paused for a second, âazzi fudd? as in the owners daughter?â the lady seemed astonished with her mouth hung open.
âis she? iâm not sure i just know she comes here a lot, she told me itâs because she liked tanning and reading and this place apparently also has the best views,â paige shrugged her shoulders.
âi am so sorry miss, you can go on right ahead,â the clerk proceeded to walk paige towards the back where the pools were.
âthanks so much maâam,â the blonde flashed her big smile.
once paige turned around to face the pools she was scanning the area for a group and in particular a tanned skin goddess with the cutest smile and dimple she had ever seen.
once paige caught her she started speeding towards her, a sense of urgency rising the closer she got to the brunette.
azzi had since been sitting on a pool chair taking in the sun whilst a small group of people were sitting around her.
paige had never seen them before; she was far too busy working or hanging with azzi one-on-one to even be bothered by them.
the thought of what azzi had told her ran through her head but paige being who she is wasnât going to be petty because of it so as she approached the group she plastered a semi genuine smile onto her face.
âwhatâs up guys!â paige blurted out.
they all looked at her in complete shock.
azzi took her sunglasses off and immediately turned at the sound of her girlfriend.
she immediately jumped up and booked it towards paige. she didnât even notice the huge bunch of flowers paige had in her hand; she just wanted to feel the warmth of paige that not even the sun could compete with.
ââazzi! my coveralls have grime and oil all over theââ
azzi shushed the blonde not caring whatever may get on her just simply taking her in.
paige chuckled slightly at the action and wrapped her arms around the brunette.
they eventually part their heads from the crooks of their necks and just stare at each other.
âhi beautiful,â paige grinned at the girl in her arms.
âpaige, iâve missed you so much,â the brunette replied holding the blonde tighter.
at this moment both paige and azzi didnât give a rat's ass as to what her friends were doing. all that mattered was that they were together.
âazzi,â she muttered, âi- is that paige?â questioned leila.
azzi hadnât paid her any attention; she was still reeling in the feeling of her girlfriend.
after a moment azzi pulled back slightly, giving paige a kiss before landing on the huge bouquet.
âoh right! these are for you mâlady,â paige stuck her hands out with the ramo in her hands and she started bowing down slightly like a knight showing his princess something of value.
âpaige these are beautiful honey but whyâd you get them for me?â azzi grabbed the ramo and smiled softly at it before looking back at paige.
âi just wanted to, i saw it and it made me think of you,â paige smiled brightly.
azziâs heart softened at the sight of paigeâs eyes scrunching as she smiled and that paige was thinking of her.
she put the ramo on the nearest table she could find before returning to paige and wrapping her arms around her, âyouâre perfect, pâ
paige wrapped her arms around azziâs waist, still grinning and showing all 32âs.
azzi leaned in savoring the softness of paigeâs lips, which was surprising considering the blonde bites her lips every chance she gets.
it didnât matter though because all that mattered was azzi being wrapped up in the arms of the girl she loved the most.
unfortunately for them the moment got rudely interrupted by leila tapping azzi on the shoulder.
azzi pulled away slightly from paige but not too far so she could face leila and ask her what it was that she wanted.
leilaâs eyes quickly turned to the group and back on the couple, nervously looking at them back and forth.
âazzi you never introduced us to paige!â leila exclaimed.
âfigured i didnât have to since you guys are all so keen on me and rileyâs past relationship that mind you ended 8 months ago!â
paige looked at azzi with her eyebrows furrowed because azzi never mentioned this to her at all.
âwait why didnât i get the scoop on this?â
azzi turned back to look at paige and started to clarify, âbecause it honestly doesnât matter now, i have completely moved on from her paige. youâre the only one i see in my futureâ
paige being easy af, smiled widely at that before turning to look at the evil brunette.
âlook i know weâve said some stuff we obviously didnât mean but that was just because we didnât know paige was soâŚâ leila trailed off.
ââŚso what?â azzi asked, confusion now on her face.
ââhot!â jamie cut in.
paige chuckled at that because wow she didnât know her ego was gonna get fed today, or at least right now.
âyou know what, weâre out letâs go paige!â azzi quickly grabbed the ramo and immediately grabbed paigeâs hand to start heading towards the exit.
as soon as paige and azzi were out of view the group got to talking again.
âwow sheâs actually really hot,â jamie blurted out.
if i wasnât with a man iâd definitely be up her alley.
âum leila? what the hell was that!â julian jumped up from his seat angrily.
âoh come on! did you NOT see her in that mechanic uniform and hat, sheâs like straight out of that one music video fifth harmony did,â leila pleaded.
before julian could answer back, jamie beat him to it.
âgirl itâs called work from home, donât be dissing fifth harmony!â he rolled his eyes âand they were construction workers. but i see the vision,â
âsame concept, she looked soââ
ââdonât you dare even finish that sentence.â
julian and leila began to argue about paigeâs looks which then eventually just led to julian being butthurt that his girlfriend and best friend both thought paige was hot.
meanwhile, azzi and paige were getting ice cream and having the time of their lives.
apart from paigeâs dads texts that were not so pleasant but she saved those for a separate time.
