Uncertainty

Chapter 12

Tobin's POV;

Tobin's thoughts have been in complete disarray since arriving back in Portland. All the things that have occurred in the small amount of time she's been here is making her crave more and more down time & relaxation with the younger striker in the other room. She knows that soon the pair will be off training & traveling for the national team. Sure, this was exciting & Tobin's dream for certain. However, sometimes Tobin wants to simply chill. She loves her fast paced life because it allows her to appreciate the smaller and subtler moments that life has to offer. It's made her realize how fast time really goes by, and it truly feels like yesterday she was being invited to play with the national team, when it was really 4 years ago. Her realization of life's fast ticking clock makes her want to go out and do everything with Alex. She always has wanted to, but she's finally getting that opportunity and she is not planning on waisting it. 

"Are you just about ready?" Alex asks, stepping into the bathroom and looking at Tobin through the mirror.

"Yeah, don't rush beauty, Lex" She responds, buttoning up her jeans and turning around to face the younger girl.

"Those jeans looked alot better before you put them on" Alex smirks, kinking an eyebrow at the midfielder.

Even though they've had intimate moments, Tobin would never stop getting flustered at Alex's playful & flirty comments, ever. She could feel her cheeks heating up and her eyes widen whenever Alex said something like this.

"Awe Tobs, are you nervous?" Alex asks in a childish voice, pouting her lip out like a puppy dog.

Tobin snaps back to reality and doesn't want the striker to see her all hot and bothered.

"What? No- no way! Just surprised at how, umm, I don't know, flirty you're being" Tobin gets out, disappointed that she officially blew her facade.

"We literally had sex, like an hour ago & you're flustered at me flirting with you?" Alex laughs, and Tobin smiles in admiration at the beautiful women's grin.

"I can't help it! You're just so breathtaking & I don't know how to respond without making myself look like an idiot" Tobin confesses, chuckling slightly at how stupid she sounds.

Alex doesn't say anything, but simply makes her way closer to the striker and kisses her gently. Her lips linger over Tobin's as she speaks into them, "I think it's adorable" She whispers, and Tobin can feel her smirk.

Tobin kisses her again, but before things get too heated Alex pulls back.

"I thought you wanted to eat?" Alex laughs, and Tobin grabs her waist pulling the strikers hips against her own quickly.

Without thinking, Tobin spits out the first thing that comes to her mind, "I plan on it" she says, smirking at Alex, her eyes filled with lust.

Tobin sees Alex blush at her comment and Alex parts her lips and tries to say something, but nothing comes out.

"Look who's all hot and bothered now" Tobin says proudly, letting go of the younger girl and kissing her on the cheek before she slides past her out of the bathroom.

Tobin makes her way to the counter and grabs Alex's car keys & jingles them in front of her to gain Alex's attention.

Alex turns around and Tobin points a thumb to the door behind her, this receives a nod of approval from the younger girl and they make their way out of the building. Once they've both settled into Alex's familiar vehicle, Alex initiates conversation that Tobin wanted to avoid.

"So, are you gonna tell me about Angelina?" She asks, glancing at Tobin. Her tone a bit guarded.

"Um," Tobin begins, clearing her throat before beginning. "Well, let's start out with the fact that she's fucking bat shit crazy," Tobin laughs, and Alex reciprocates. "We hooked up months ago & it was really a one night stand thing. She was at one of our matches & she came down to meet us because she was some news reporter for a local station. And she invited me for drinks, and unfortunately, I went. It was fun while it lasted I guess, but the whole time I was wishing it was you" Tobin confesses, nervous to hear the younger girls reaction.
