Don't Fight It.

Chapter Five

(A little O'Solo for everyone)

Chapter 5:

Hope stood frozen in her spot because A. she couldn't believe Tobin and Alex finally admitted their feelings for each other and B. that they were able to keep it a secret from the rest of the team. She thankfully knew of a little squirrel that decided to stay behind in the hotel with her so she sprinted off to find Kelley.

"Kelley!" Hope said pounding against Kelley and Alex's door.

"I know I'm so fun to hang out with, Hope, but you don't need to break down my door." Kelley said and moved aside to let Hope into the room.

"I'm about to tell you something that you have to keep secret from the rest of the team, okay?" Hope asked and Kelley quickly nodded.

"Tobin and Alex are together. Like together, together. I just saw them kiss and flirt and it was kinda gross." Hope managed to get out.

She was a little thrown back when Kelley just laughed.

"Kels, they are your best friends. Are you not made that they kept it a secret from you?"

"Actually, Hope Yolo. I knew about a week or so ago. They came barging into me and Alex's room making out and didn't even notice that I was in the room. I told them I would keep it a secret."

Hope shook her head. "Okay first I'm mad you didn't tell me and second I'm surprised you kept it a secret for that long."

"Oh Hope. You don't know anything about my capabilities." Kelley said with a wink which made Hope roll her eyes.

"Shut up, Kid. Now what movie do you wanna watch since we're both too lazy to go out." Hope said as she laid on Kelley's bed.

"I was thinking Pitch Perfect if that's okay." Kelley said walking over to the DVD player.

"Fine with me now come cuddle with me." Hope said with a playful smile.

"Only if the team knew that the big, bad goalkeeper was one who loved to cuddle." Kelley smirked and slowly climbed next to Hope who quickly threw an arm around her shoulders.

Kelley snuggled into Hope's side and sighed a little. She knew Hope was recently divorced but she just wished Hope would give her a sign if she truly liked her or not.

The movie started and almost instantly Kelley was focused on the movie, quoting about every line. Hope smiled everyday Kelley would quote a line before the actual character does because she loved seeing Kelley so excited. About half way through the movie, Hope was looking more at Kelley than the TV. She was studying how Kelley's brows furrow or how her nose crinkles when she laughs.

Damn what has this kid done to me Hope thought as she continued watching Kelley.

Kelley's voice interrupted her thoughts. "You're not watching the movie." She said with a little pout.

"I found something more interesting to watch." Hope whispered.

Kelley rolled over and looked up at Hope's eyes and saw adoration, something no one ever sees. Neither seemed to notice that their faces were only a few inches apart and Hope's eyes quickly flickered down to Kelley's awaiting lips. As they both began to lean in, a knock came on the door.

"Hey Kels, I forgot my key and we're back from our hike. Can you let me in?" Alex pleaded.

Hope and Kelley looked at each other and Hope sat up a little in the bed while Kelley went and opened the door.

Once Alex saw that Hope was there, she felt a little bad especially since she knew of her best friend's little crush.

"Oh gosh. I didn't Hope was over, I can go over to Tobin's room or Sydney's if you guys were watching something." Alex said already backing out of the door.

"No I was just leaving. See you later, Kelley." She said with a little smile and walked out the door.

Kelley deserves better. Kelley deserves better than you. Don't fall in love. Hope's mind was bombarding her with thoughts about the little freckled girl.

"What was that about?" Alex asked while she got a bottle of water out of the fridge.

"Um I don't know." Kelley said still unsure what just happened.

"Kels, did something happen?"

"No...well kinda. If you haven't of knocked, something definitely would have happened."

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, Kelley. If I would have known Hope was in here, I would have just want to Tobin's room."

"No, it's probably a good thing you knocked because I don't think either of us know exactly what we want." Kelley sighed.

"She'll come around, trust me. No one can push you away even if they tried." Alex sighed and gave Kelley a quick hug.

"Speaking of Hope, you might not be happy to hear this." Kelley said quietly.

"What happened?"

"She might have saw you and Tobin kiss and overheard you guys flirting so she knows." Kelley said quickly.

"That's fine. Did you at least tell her not to tell anyone else?"

"Yeah she knows to keep it a secret."

"I gotta go tell, Tobin, so she doesn't freak out if Hope starts questioning her about us." Alex laughed and headed out the door. "And remember, Kel, she'll come around."

Kelley just sighed and fell back on to her bed but she shortly after she got a text.

We need to talk - Hope <3

About? - The Squirrel

Us. - Hope <3

Roof in five minutes? - The Squirrel

See you there. - Hope <3

Kelley groaned and made her up to the roof where she quickly found Hope standing by the ledge.

"You wanted to talk?" Kelley asked with her arms folded.

"Yeah. I don't know how to say this because I'm bad with emotions and all but I do like you, Kels. I just want you to know that but I also want you to know that you deserve someone better than me. I'm a newly divorced women who has anger problems sometimes and can't express her emotions. I'm a ticking time bomb off the field and I could never live with myself if I headed up hurting you. So please, Kels, save us both the heart ache and just reject me and we can go back to being friends and..."

Suddenly Hope felt Kelley's lips against hers and her arms impulsively wrapped around her waist. Kelley basically had her pinned against the ledge and her hands were in Hope's hair. Both pulled away slowly, not sure what just happened.

"I-I'm sorry. You were rambling and I just wanted you to be quiet because I'm willing to put my heart at risk for you and it was really stupid. I'm..."

Hope didn't let Kelley finish and this time it was her closing the gap and kissing her with full force.
