A/N: Here is the new chapter. More things are developing and even though not much actually happens in this chapter. I'm sure you all will love this anyway.

Chapter Twenty-One: First Game

Coach Benson blew her whistle and the Ravens came in. It was the last practice before the first game which was later that night.

"That's it guys, go get showers and rest and I'll see you at seven. Sam, Kylie can you two stay for a minute?"

Sam turns to Kelsey and kisses her softly.

"I'll meet you later."

Kelsey smiles and nods her head. She follows her fellow teammates into the locker room.

"What's up coach?"

"You two aren't connecting. I want you to spend the next hour either doing drills or talk because I can't have this out on my courts. I need you both there and in the game tonight."

"Okay coach," Sam says with a roll of her eyes. Coach Benson grabs her things and leaves the gym. "Kylie, get your head in the damn game so I don't have to spend this hour with you. I have better things to do."

"Look, have sex with your girlfriend some other time. I don't want to hear it."

Sam shakes her head and takes a seat on the bench.

"Not like it's any of your business, but I don't do that with her."

"But she's your girlfriend," Kylie says as she hesitantly sits down next to Sam. "Aren't you supposed to do that?"

"I don't know. I don't have much experience in that."

"Are you a virgin?"

Sam shakes her head.

"Not technically. I don't even know why I am telling you this."

Kylie furrows her eyebrows.

"How can you technically be a virgin? It's either you are or you're not."

Sam glares and stands up. She starts bouncing her basketball. Kylie grins and stands up.

"You're a cheater aren't you? You cheated on Kelsey. Does she know you're not a virgin?"

Sam throws her basketball against the wall. Kylie flinches.

"I was raped. Are you happy? Before you came here, before I started dating Kelsey, I was raped. She was there as a friend to help and then I fell in love."

"I'm sorry," Kylie apologizes. "I didn't know."

Sam shakes her head.

"It's whatever, look, I may not like you and you may not like me, but we need to at least work as a team."

"I don't hate you. You're braver then I am."

"You keep saying that, but what do you mean?"

Kylie sighs and shakes her head.

"You did what I can't. You're being who you are. I can never do that."

Sam bites the bottom of her lip.

"I won't say anything Kylie, but it's okay to be who you are."

Kylie shakes her head.

"Not for me," Kylie says before leaving the gym.

Sam meets Kelsey before the game. Her parents were sitting in the stands already.

"You've been quiet for awhile, what's wrong?" Kelsey asks concerned about her girlfriend.

"I've just been thinking a lot about some stuff. Do you think I'm a tease?"

Kelsey laughs and shakes her head.

"Baby, you're not a tease. I know your hesitancy about making love to me okay? I don't want to rush anything either. We will take that next step when the time comes."

Sam steps closer to Kelsey and wraps her arms around her girlfriend's neck.

"What would you say if I told you that I'm ready now?"

Kelsey raises an eyebrow to this.

"I'd have to say that we have a game to play and after we'll go from there."

"You're sweet," Sam comments before kissing Kelsey. Sam pulls away with a smile.

"I love you."

"I love you too," Sam says with a grin. "But we have a game to play."

"For the first game of the season I have to say that Sam's team is really bringing it," Julian comments as he watches his daughter shoot another basket in. Julian cheers and sits closer to his wife.

"I know they're amazing aren't they? Sam and Kelsey are really heating the floor up tonight," Brooke comments. Sam gets knocked on her ass. "What the hell was that? Call a foul." The ref called a foul and Brooke smiles.

Julian just grins at his wife. She always got caught up in their daughter's game.

-DG-

"Ravens, shooting for two."

Sam steps up to the free throw line with a smile. Sam shoots the ball and it goes in.

"Alright baby, you can do this."

Sam glances at Kelsey and smiles. Sam shoots again, but misses. Kylie comes up to Sam.

"It's okay just work it off. We've got a game to win."

Sam smiles and nods her head. Kelsey watches them and frowns.

Kelsey steals the ball from the Buckeye's and makes her way down the court. There were only a few seconds left on the clock and she was quickly double teamed. With five seconds left she passes the ball to Sam who shoots it to the basket quickly. The timer goes off and shortly after the ball falls in the net. Ravens win.

Sam laughs as her team comes forward and hugs her. Sam looks at her parents in the stand and smiles. Brooke and Julian were currently in a hug. Sam feels arms wrap around her waist and is happy when she turns because Kelsey's there.

"Nice team work," Kelsey says brightly.

"I know," Sam says before she gets Kelsey into a lip lock.

Kylie glances around the gym as everyone slowly disperses. Sam and Kelsey were still in their lip lock which made Kylie chuckle.

"Hey you two love birds, every one's leaving."

Sam pulls away from Kelsey with a blush. Sam turns to Kylie.

"Hey, do you want to have pizza with us?" Sam asks.

Kelsey frowns at Sam, but smiles and nods her head at Kylie. She didn't like what was going on.

"Are you sure?" Kylie asks hesitantly. "I don't really want to impose on you two."

"You won't be," Sam says. "Come on, we know the best pizza place around."

"Okay," Kylie says as she watches Sam grasp onto Kelsey's hand wishing that it could be her on that hand. Kylie sighs and follows Sam and Kelsey out of the gym.
