"So can I do something?" Andy asked. "Something I've been wanting to do for a while?" Theo nodded, hoping Andy was talking about what she was thinking. Andy leaned in closer to Theo. She looked Theo in the eyes and looked down at her lips. Andy could feel Theo's breath on her lips. She watched Theo look down at her own lips. Andy smiled. She could smell the pineapple chapstick on Theo's lips. She smiled again and leaned in.
When their lips brushed together, Andy couldn't take it anymore and gently grabbed Theo's face. Their lips connected. Andy felt weightless. Ever since her injury, she felt weighted down. Like she was being a burden to people. But the second she kissed Theo, all of that went away. It was cliché but the fireworks in both girls' stomachs, exploded. They moved their lips together in sync. Andy pulled gently at Theo's bottom lip with her teeth. She opened her eyes and Theo opened hers and the two smiled at each other. They collided their lips together again and deepened the kiss. Theo grazed her tongue over Andy's lip asking for entrance, which Andy granted. Their tongues battled for dominance. Andy moved her hand to Theo's abs and pushed her hand gently underneath Theo's shirt. Theo smiled into the kiss. She pulled away and looked lustfully into Andy's eyes. "You do like my abs don't you?" She whispered against Andy's lips. Andy smiled.
"Shut up." Andy said rolling her eyes and looking between Theo's eyes and lips.
"Make me." Theo said. Andy snapped her eyes up to Theo's and back down to her lips and collided them together again. They battled for dominance again and finally Andy won. The two soon pulled away and Andy put her forehead against Theo's.
"I really like you Theo." Andy whispered.
"I really like you too Andy." Theo whispered back. The two pulled back and Andy reluctantly removed her hand from Theo's stomach. "You don't have to remove your hand if you don't want to..." Theo said, biting her lip. Andy smiled and put her hand back under Theo's shirt. Theo grabbed the remote and laid back on the couch. She put her arm around Andy and Andy snuggled up close to Theo. Theo turned on the tv on 'Lifetime' and Orlando Pride was playing Washington Spirit. "I'm glad Alex didn't go to Orlando. I know that was a possibility a long time ago." Theo said looking down at Andy. Andy looked up at Theo.
"Yeah. I'm glad too." Andy said. She looked down at Theo's lips and leaned in. They pulled away and focused back on the game. "Theo?" Andy asked. Theo looked at Andy again. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Andy asked, looking up at the girl holding her.
"It would be my honor Mini Heath." Theo said. She leaned down and kissed Andy again.
Barely 15 minutes later, Tobin and Alex walked in with bags. Tobin and Alex quickly noticed the two on the couch and smiled. "Hey kiddos." Tobin said, as they entered the apartment. Andy and Theo didn't try to move away from each other as the two pros already knew about Theo and Andy's feelings for one another.
"Hey moms." Andy said looking over the back of the couch at her moms. Tobin and Alex smiled.
"So I take it the conversation went well?" Alex asked smiling and walking towards Andy and Theo, Tobin close behind.
"Mom. Mama. I would like you to meet my girlfriend." Andy said, motioning to Theo. Tobin and Alex smiled.
"I'm so happy for you two." Tobin said. "Theo, if you hurt our daughter, I won't be able to forgive you." Tobin said. Alex slapped her on the arm lightly.
"Toby!" Alex scolded. "Be nice." Alex said, turning back to the couple on the couch. "But seriously if you hurt her-" Tobin cut her off.
"Alex!?" Tobin said, giving Alex a look.
"Tobin. Alex." Theo said, gathering the two pros' attention. "You don't have to worry. There isn't a bone in my body that could hurt Andy. Mentally, physically or emotionally. I could never hurt her. Hurting her would only hurt me and I don't want her hurt." Theo explained. Tobin and Alex visibly relaxed. Tobin and Alex expressed gentle smiles.
"We know kiddo." Tobin said. "We're just giving you a hard time." The older couple sat down on the other couch and watched the game with the younger couple.
Several hours later, the older couple got up to get ready to head to the stadium. Once they were ready, the four got into the car and drove to the stadium. Tobin, Alex and Andy were to go to the Thorns locker room so Theo pulled Andy in for a kiss and said she'd see her later or during the game and Theo made her way over to the Royals locker room. The small family made their way into the Thorns locker room and Tobin and Alex began getting ready for the game. They put their warm up gear on and headed out to the field with Andy. Andy sat down on the bench and watched her moms and the Thorns warm up as the stadium filled up. Mark Parsons joined her a few minutes after she sat down.
"Hello Andy." Mark said, reaching his hand out for her to shake. "I'm Mark Parsons."
"Hi. I'm Andy." Andy said. "But you already knew that." Andy said, mentally face paling herself. Mark chuckled.
"I wanted to ask you how you were doing." Mark said.
"I'm ok. Knee still hurts. And Tobin and Alex are great. They've really made me feel welcome and at home." Andy said. Mark smiled.
"That's great. I'm so glad." Mark said. "I wanted to let you know that we've had our eye on you for a while." Mark said and Andy's eyes went wide. "This was way before we knew your mom was Tobin Heath so don't think I'm just saying this because of Tobin. I know you still have one more year of high school left, since you apparently jumped a grade, and once you get better, I want you to play like you always have. And who knows, we may just come knocking." Mark said. Andy smiled brightly. He reached his hand out again for Andy to shake.
"Thank you so much coach." Andy said.
"Of course. Now, I must get back. I have a team to coach and a game to win." He said smiling. Andy nodded and said goodbye.
That was Mark Parsons and he just said that the Portland Thorns have been watching me play. Andy thought. Do I want to go to college? Will I even get a scholarship? She continued thinking. She decided not to worry about it for now and focused back onto her moms warming up. She looked at her moms who were laughing at something and couldn't help but smile. Andy thought one more thing to herself before fully focusing again.
The road to recovery begins. Portland Thorns here I come.
