Tate POV
I woke up in Nika's arms, exactly where I wanted to be. No where else in the world would I want to be than here. I took in her features as she slept, mouth slightly open with soft snores escaping. She was perfect, I wanted nothing more right now than to be with her.
Of course I gotta use the bathroom, the one time I don't wanna get up. I slowly try to get off the bed, gently moving Nika's arm from around me, to go to the bathroom. As I go to get off the bed fully, Nika's hands pull me back down.
"You can't leave me," sleep evident in her voice, I let out a low laugh.
"I'll be back, niks,"I say, leaving a kiss on her head, "I just gotta use the bathroom."
"You're not allowed," She says, cuddling into me.
"Nika," I say.
"Yes Tate."
"I really gotta go," I try to push her off, failing miserably.
"No baby, just hold it," I laugh.
"There's no way you just told me to hold it in?" Nika lifts her head up a bit, showing the bright smile on her face.
"Fine, I guess I'll just what for you to come back to go back to sleep," She rolls off me, causing me to laugh out loud.
"Oh my god, I'll be right back," I lean down, placing a kiss on her head, I notice the soft blush coating her cheeks, "I promise, Niks."
She turns away from me, letting out a sigh, "I'll believe it when you come back."
"Ughh, you're so cute sometimes," I say, Nika's head shooting towards me, "What is it baby?"
"I am not cute," She pouts her lips, crossing her arms.
"Oh, but you are," I say, moving in the direction of the bathroom, "I'll be right back."
After finally going to the bathroom, I walk back into Nika's room. She wasn't on the bed. Where could she have gone. I move towards the bed, thinking she might've been hiding on the other side, maybe laying in the floor.
I was wrong.
Nika jumps from her closet, grabbing and pulling me down onto the bed. I scream before she's able to put her hand over my mouth.
"Shhh, pretty girl. Don't wanna wake the other girls up," She smirks, and at this very moment, I realized why. I was laying down on the bed, she was on top of me, with her hand over my mouth.
She removes her hand from my mouth, leaning down to place a kiss on my lips, "I think I like seeing you under me."
"Okay, Nika," I manage out, flustered out of my mind, "No, you can't say stuff like that."
"Why not? It's nothing but the truth pretty girl," My face had to have been redder than the color red.
"Umm, you wanna go get something to eat, or we could go and make something to eat?" I ask, trying to find a way to get out of the situation.
Nika leans down even more, her lips grazing my ear, "I know something I wanna eat."
Something had taken over my body, causing me to change the positions we were in, "Okay, you're done, cut off."
"Cut off from what? I didn't even say anything baby," Nika says, smirking below me.
"Oh don't play dumb with me, you know exactly what you did," I look her in the eyes, she's up to something, "What are you up too?"
"Nothing baby," She pauses, biting her bottom lip, "I don't know what I like more, you under me or on top of me."
"Nope," I jump off her, going to grab my phone.
Nika follows behind me, stopping me, wrapping her arms around my waist, "I'm sorry, come on, lay back down with me."
"Mmm, I don't know," I turn around to face her, snaking my arms around her neck, "You seem to be...in a certain mood."
"I just happened to wake up beside the prettiest girl in the world," Blush coating my cheeks.
I laugh, "Really, what's up with you?"
"I'm in love with you."
"You're so freaking cute."
"Freaking?"
"Yes, freaking."
"Do you love me back?" She ask, already knowing the answer.
"Mmm, let me think on that," She pouts, "Of course I love you."
Her smiles bigger than ever, "I love hearing you say that."
"I love how happy you get when I say it."
"I love everything about you," She says continuing it.
"I love everything about you."
"Not as much as I love everything about you."
"Okay, you're seriously in a weird mood," I pause, "Oh my god, you're lovesick."
She laughs, "Only for you baby," She says, leaning down, leaving a soft kiss on my lips.
"I love waking up next you," I pull one of my hands from around her neck, using it to emphasis my words, "And whatever's goin' on with you when you wake up."
"You just make my day a 100 times better being around me," I pull her into a hug, trying to hide my blush.
"So, you wanna go make breakfast?" I ask.
"You wanna make breakfast?" I nod, "Sure, I'm just not sure how that's gonna end."
"You have no clue how good I am at cooking, do you?"
"So another thing to add to the list of things I love about you," She places a kiss on my forehead.

Nika POV
After my many failed attempts to make scrambled eggs, I just opted for watching Tate do what she does. She made us pancakes, bacon, and some eggs.
"I promise I can make some banger eggs," She hums in response, "I just need some good Croatian eggs, than I'd be working some miracles."
"Niks, I don't think the eggs are to different. I just think you can't make scrambled eggs," She hands me my plate, "But it's okay, cause I'll make it for you."
The smile on her face was the biggest smile I've ever seen, "You're so cute."
"Hey, I got in trouble for saying that," She hands me a glass of water before sitting down beside me.
"You didn't get in trouble, I just didn't agree with the statement," I shrug, taking a bite out of the pancake, "Oh my god, this is so good."
"I know, I made them outta love," She places a kiss on my check, "Just for you."
"This is what I mean when I say you're so cute," I place a hand on her thigh, rubbing small circles.
She laughs, "You know, when you go to the WNBA, I'm gonna be a WNBA girlfriend."
"Or WNBA wife?"
She looks down at her plate, "I wouldn't mind it."
"Baby, I couldn't hear you? Can you speak up?" I move my focus from the food to the girl beside me.
"I wouldn't mind being a WNBA wife," She finally allows our eyes to meet, blush creeping up on her face.
"Like I said, you're so cute," I go back to eating, in the back ground, someones phone was blowing up.
"Who's phone do you think it is?" She asks, looking back at my room.
"I'm not sure."
"I'm gonna go check really quick. Just enjoy the lovely breakfast I made for you," She pats my shoulder, leaning in to kiss my cheek.
"Okay, baby."

Tate POV
I made my way to Nika's room, searching for our phones. Finding them on the bedside table, checking to see which one was blowing up. Mine, which was kind of weird.
5 new messages
Unknown number
UN: Hey beautiful
UN: You know something?
UN: Me and you gonna end up together
UN: You and your little girlfriend
UN: not gonna last
I could not pinpoint the number, I had no idea who this could be.
Tate: I think you might have the wrong number
I go to put the phone down and make my way back to Nika, but it goes off again.
UN: But I do have the right number, Tate
Tate: Who is this??
UN: you know who I am
Tate: Obviously not if I'm asking who this is
This was weird, I felt the need to tell Nika. For some reason, I also felt the need to keep this from her.
UN: You'll find out sooner or later
And with that, I silenced my phone, just wanting to stop the weird interaction. I try to shake off the uneasiness before heading back to Nika.
"Everything okay," Nika asks, turning in her seat.
"Yeah, just Ava sending me a bunch of tiktoks," I lie, sitting down on the seat next to her.
"Okay," She pauses, "Does she ever send you edits of me?"
I slap her arm, "Oh my god, why would you think that?"
"So, it's a yes?" She lifts a brow.
"Shut up Nika," I mumble, putting my head in my hands.
"Oh my god, wait do you have a favorite?"
"No Nika," I shake my head, holding in my laugh.
"You definitely do."
"Nah uh."
"Yeah huh."
"Niks, don't you have practice today?"
"Oh god, Imma have to run so much," She gets up heading to her room, throwing her stuff on, "I'll be back in like 2 hours."
"Okay, I'll be waiting," She leans down, pressing a soft kiss to my lips.
"I love you so much!"
"I love you more!" I scream before she shuts the door behind her.
