Jucinara's POV

"It's so cold." I mumble as I hold on to my girlfriend.

"I'll warm you up after the game with Nara." Christen says as we're handed tonight's line-up.

Once we have the line-up, my girlfriend and I look at it.

18-Casey Murphy
11-Sarah Gorden
4-Jucinara
12-Tierna Davidson
3-Emily Fox
8-Julie Ertz
6-Morgan Brian
16-Rose Lavelle
23-Christen Press
14-Talia Martin(C)
10-Catarina Macario

We're playing Norway tonight.

"Here Freckles." Christen says as she passes the line-up to Talia.

"Psst." I say then Christen looks at me.

"Yes Baby?" Christen questions with a smile.

"Hi." I say.

"Hi baby." Christen says then she pecks my lips as we pull up to the stadium.

Once at AT&T Stadium, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.

When we get to the locker room everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.

Once my stuff is in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.

"Walk with me." Cairo says and leads me away from everyone as Nalu and Koda walk with us.

"What's up?" I ask.

"Officially I need to know what's happening between you and Lindsey." Cairo says.

"As long as we're not on the pitch at the same time then we're good." I say. "Otherwise I have no doubt we'll butt heads and she'll end up costing us a goal so that I can look bad."

"Can I know what's going on?" Cairo says.

I sigh then I tell her what's been happening between Lindsey and I.

Cairo already knows about the bullshit last camp so I tell her about the stunt that Lindsey pulled with Christen and Rita and some other stuff that's happened between Lindsey and I.

"Okay unofficially I will help you kick her ass." Cairo says.

"Good to know."

"But officially we may have to get you to talk everything out."

"I'd rather not play on the team than talk to her."

"Noted." Cairo says then we look over the pitch.

After we've inspected the pitch, my teammates, Cairo, Nalu and I head back to the locker room.

When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, I take out my nose ring, and I take off my necklaces and my rings, then I put my jewelry and AirPods in my bag.

Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit then I put on my warm up top and my game shorts.

I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my red boots.

After my boots are on I wait for Christen to do Talia's hair, then, once she's done with Talia's hair, I sit down on the floor in-between Christen's legs to let her do my hair.

"Hi Nara." My favorite Tattoo'd forward says.

"Hi Chrissy." I say then I relax, face forward, and let Christen do her thing.

Christen runs her fingers through my hair for a little bit then she puts my hair into a pony tail just like I like it.

"Thanks." I say then I hug one of Christen's legs.
