"Why did I kiss him!" Payson yelled at herself in her bedroom mirror. "He is my coach, my trainer. I can't like him." She walked over to get her bag ready to leave when Sasha walked in.
"Payson."
"Sasha, what are you doing here, practice is going to start soon?" Payson said looking at her wrist as If she had a watch on.
"I came to see you Payson."
"You will see me, at practice." Payson said turning red. Sasha took at step closer and Payson took a small step back.
"I want to kiss you Payson, not train you." He laughed, and walked over to Payson and kissed her. Payson didn't have time to react, her mom walked into her bed room.
"Pay we need to- Sasha , Payson?" Kim said confused why her daughter was kissing her coach. Or her coach kissing her daughter.
"Mom, It's not what it looks like." Payson said as she back away from Sasha.
"Ms. Keeler, I can explain. It is-"
"No, Sasha, Payson should be responsible and know not to kiss you. Payson, we talked about this, you said it was just a crush." Ms. Keeler said walking over to Payson who was now sitting on her bed starting to cry.
"Mom, you let me explain." Payson cried.
"Kim, I kissed Payson. Ever since she kissed me, I can't get it out of my head. It's like true love." The coach said sitting on the bed by Payson.
"Pay, Is that true?" She asked.
Payson just nodded and stood up, "Can we go to practice now?" She said, wiping her tears and fixing her sweater.
"Yes sweetie, I will get the car ready." Kim started to walk out when Payson said,
"Can Sasha take me, we need to talk?" Payson said, unsure of the answer.
She thought about it and looked at Sasha, "Is that okay, coach?"
"Yes, I can give Payson a ride all the time." He stood up and smiled.
"I will meet you at the gym, Payson, don't do anything with Sasha. Like kissing, or anything else." She said.
Payson shook her head and grabbed her bag that she had dropped and walked to Sasha truck.
"Why did you want to ride with me?" Sasha asked as they got in the car.
"Cause, like I told my mom, we need to talk. We need to talk about us." Payson said throwing her bag in the back and sitting on the soft car seats.
"Us?" Sasha asked. He looked clue less. Like there was never a Payson and Sasha.
"Yes Sasha. You and me, we kissed. Twice. We can't just leave it like it is. You are dating Summer; think about how it is going to affect me. Also, you are cheating on Summer." Payson said.
He had a confused look, "Cheating on Summer? Payson, I kissed you, not had sex with you."
Payson turned red; Sasha made a kiss sound like a hug, like a handshake. It wasn't exceptionally to Payson.
"So, if I told Summer, she wouldn't care?" Payson asked in a sarcastic tone.
"What, don't tell Summer!" Sasha yelled.
"You said it wasn't cheating, so I have every right to tell her." Payson said looking right at Sasha. He looked over at her and said,
"You won't tell Summer, you know why?" He asked, still looking at her.
"Why?" Payson said in almost a whisper.
"Because you love me." He slowly moved his head closer to kiss her but Payson moved and ended up kissing her arm.
The rest of the car trip was silence. She didn't know if she loved Sasha, yeah, he was always there for her but does that , mean that they should love each other.
Kim was already there and was waiting for Payson.
"How was the ride? Any kissing?" Kim laughed.
"Mom, that's not funny, and don't say that out loud."
"Sorry Honey. It's just thinking of you two you know whating, well, it's sorta funny. Hard to picture."
Kim walked into the gym first. Sasha and Payson were still outside.
"Don't say anything." He said.
"But-" He put his finger over her lips and shhed her.
"Let's go." He grabbed her bag over her shoulder and put it over his own.
"Why thank you." Payson laughed. They both started to walk on together.
"You go first." Payson said. Everyone already knew about their first kiss and she didn't want to be more embarresed. She grabbed her bag from him and he said as he gave it to her,
"Payson, you can do it." He kissed her gently on the cheek and Payson slowly walked in, with Sasha shortly behind her.
