slut - Alexia Putellas

15.

hm, one of my favorite chapters so far 🤭😏

The following morning, Erin stirred reluctantly from her sleep as she felt someone settle beside her on the couch, the soft rustle of fabric and the delicate touch of fingers brushing strands of golden blonde hair out of her face pulling her back to wakefulness.

"Bonita," Alexia's tender voice whispered gently, laden with apology as the Ballon D'Or winner spoke.

Blinking away the remnants of sleep, the therapist's heavy eyelids fluttered open to find the brunette sitting beside her, a cup of freshly brewed coffee in hand.

Immediately, the aroma drifted enticingly through the air as Alexia offered it to her with a soft smile on her delicate lips. Furrowing an eyebrow in confusion, Erin accepted the cup with a mumble of thanks, sitting up slowly while pulling the blanket tighter around her slender form.

"I'm sorry to disturb your slumber," the athlete murmured, her tone tender as she watched the blonde take the first sip of coffee.

Erin took a moment to gather her thoughts, feeling a mix of irritation and uncertainty clouding her mind.

"Do you feel bad or something?" she wondered, her voice raspy, edged with sleepiness and a hint of annoyance. "Or why else would you make me coffee?"

Chuckling softly, Alexia shook her head.

"I do feel bad, but that's not the only reason," she admitted gently. "Someone's coming over for a visit in a couple of minutes and I wanted to let you know."

Erin's expression darkened slightly as she set the cup of freshly brewed coffee down on the table, her lips forming a thin line as she turned away from Alexia, laid back down, and pulled the blanket closer around her.

"Great," she muttered under her breath, unable to hide her annoyance.

Shifting just a tad closer on the couch, Alexia's demeanor was still gentle despite Erin's clear irritation.

"I promise it won't be disruptive," she assured earnestly, reaching out to touch Erin's shoulder lightly. "She won't stay long. I'll keep it quiet."

Erin sighed heavily, her frustration evident in the way she avoided looking at Alexia.

And she shook her head in disbelief, mumbling a grumpy "Quiet sounds fine," before closing her eyes to go back to sleep.

Alexia nodded understandingly, her hand lingering on Erin's shoulder for a moment before she withdrew it. "Sleep tight, Bonita " she whispered softly. "I'll make sure you're not getting disturbed."

Rolling her eyes with an audible sigh, Erin remained silent as she heard the captain's footsteps disappear.

But not long after Alexia had padded into the bathroom to take a quick shower, there was a knock on the door.

Erin's eyes fluttered open, wide in exasperation.

"So much for not getting disturbed," she muttered under her breath and, with a resigned sigh, the blonde made her way to the front door, swinging it open, not bothering to hide her annoyance.

"The bedroom is over there," Erin grumbled immediately, gesturing toward the very end of the hall where Alexia's bedroom was located, and turned away without looking at the visitor, heading toward the kitchen unbothered.

"Well, I'm not here for a nap," came the amused reply from the woman standing in the doorway.

Erin paused mid-step, turning back to see who had arrived, and her irritation faded momentarily, replaced by surprise as she registered the, somehow, familiar face standing before her.
