sparks fly ~ caitlin clark

14. i'd give up everything to be close to you

When Izzie woke up, she heard the water running, telling her Caitin was in the shower. While she waited for her, she pulled out a couple pieces of clothes that were warmer than anything Caitlin owned. She knew she was underestimating how cold it actually was out there. 

"Hurry up, Caiti! I need to leave soon!" 

Izzie wasn't lying last night when she said she had an exam that day. It was probably the biggest exam she had to pass this whole semester! She felt confident though. Time management was something she had learnt to juggle pretty nicely. She had been studying for weeks and no more was ever going to find a place in her mind.

Caitlin came out of the bathroom with her hair soaking wet in some shorts and a t-shirt.

hot.

Izzie smiled approaching the girl that was following her back home. 

"Don't you look beautiful today?" She placed a small but loving kiss on her lips and hugged her.

"I do want to make a good impression on your family!"

"It's not like that was what you were going to wear there anyway," Izzie laughed.

"What? Yeah, that's what I was planning on wearing," Her eyebrows furrowed confusingly.

Izzie started laughing thinking the girl had to be joking. Her smile dropped immediately when she realized she was not kidding.

"Caiti, what do you think the temperature is like there?" 

"Mm, I don't know like 10 degrees?"

"Let me ask you something, where is Quebec situated compared to Iowa?" Her lips formed a tight line.

"Izzie why are you laughing at me? Just tell me what's going on."

"Caiti, uh during this time, temperatures often drop to -30 degrees Celsius (-13 farenheit)."

The point guard's face drops. 

"How? No. You're kidding right?"

"No! Look, when I told you it was cold over there, I wasn't kidding." 

Caitlin groaned and buried her face in a nearby pillow.

"Okay, I really need to be going right now, but I pulled some warmer clothes out," Isabella explains pointing to the many clothing items that formed a pile on her bed. "You can take a look through that, take what you like and you have a little time to get a few pieces from the store if you want. We are leaving at 11:30, okay?"

"What about snacks?" Caitlin's face lights up.

Izzie had learned that Caitlin didn't mind any time on the road if she had good snacks. When they had away games, the only way to keep Cait from whining with some of the other girls was to hand her a bag of peanut butter M&M's. She found her adorable whenever she would ravage through the grocery store aisles to get her perfect snack mix.

"We are leaving from here at 11:30. We have an hour to buy any food and drinks we need for the flight and then we leave for the airport at no more than 12:30." Izzie was happy to announce to her.

Caitlin was satisfied with her plan and got up from the bed to say their goodbyes. 

"You are going to do great, Iz," Caitlin into the crook of her neck while they were hugging.

Once they pull back from their passionate hug, Izzie can't help but smile at the girl so close to her. She pulled the back of her neck and connected their lips. Caitlin laid her hands on her waist travelling to her lower back when the kiss deepened.
