"jesse, i swear stop-tickli‐ng me!" kai said in between her laughs, her body twisting over the mat in weird positions to prevent him from tickling her.
"why?" he asked with a smirk, his hands coming to pinch her sides.
"i-"
"jess, com'n man. she can barely breathe." marcus chuckled from where he sat on the floor.
the team were now doing stretches inside after their session outside. and jesse didn't miss the opportunity to tickle the italian when her shirt slightly raised.
jesse finally raised his arms in surrender, laughing loudly when he saw her face of relief. "fine, fine."
"thank you." kai breathed out, laying flat on the mat with her hands resting on her stomach, her chest heaving up and down while her mouth was still fresh with the recent giggles. "what's up with you and alex with tickling me?" she asked, glaring at alex who laid his head not too far.
"you're so ticklish!" the brazilian demanded, his shoulders shrugging. jesse agreed, nodding frantically.
"so, i leave to get water and when i come back, my wife could barely breathe?" jadon walked in the room, laughing at kai.
right, jadon and kai were married now.
"don't laugh at my suffering, jadon." kai sent a harsh glare, narrowing her brown eyes. he smiled, taking her seat next to her before he kissed her cheek. "com'n, i was just teasing," jadon smirked with his hands still caressing her cheeks.
kai gasped, slapping away his hands. his face turned into a fake sadness expression, and their teammates couldn't help but laugh at the pair's banter.
kai abruptly stopped everything, every movement as her hands touched her stomach for a minute, then it dropped with a frown on her face.
she was going to stand up to go the bathroom, but she suddenly felt dizzy as she grabbed onto jaden's shoulders. his eyesbrows furrowed at her unexpected gesture, his hand grabbing hers."you okay?"
"yea yea," she shook her head, rubbing a hand over her forehead. "imma' just go to the bathroom real quick," kai said, her mind still fuzzy with the pain in her stomach.
jadon took a glance at jesse, pointing his finger to her then the door as she made her way to the restroom. "what happened?"
"i don't know, she's been holding her stomach since this morning," alex said, his eyes panning to the bathroom door. "maybe she's not feeling well?" marcus suggested. "yeah, her shoots were kinda, misqued and stuff too," bruno inquired, the most of them coming to sit closer together.
"she threw up at my house yesterday when yall were out, she did like twice," avani added, her face concerned. "so whatever happened, beens going on for a while then," she went on to say.
"did she tell you anything jadon?" david asked, and jadon shook his head no.
"why? is there something i should know?"
they shook their heads, "no well we assumed if anything was up she would've told you," jesse finished.
"she hasn't," jadon clarified, then all heads looked up when they heard the door unlock, and kai stepped out.
