Don't Fight It.

Chapter Forty-Five

Chapter 45:

Tobin and Alex quickly changed into their recovery clothes aka a sports bra and compression shorts. Since recovery was only for those who played, there was only about half the team in the pool area.

They grabbed their towels and put them near the edge before stripping down.

Recovery like normal went slow and was boring, it wasn't till HAO was talking to Julie when she saw something.

"Oh my god!" She basically screamed out.

"What?" Julie asked.

HAO just shook her head and whispered something in Kelley's ear who bursted out laughing.

"What?!" Julie asked again.

"Did you get grabbed on the neck last game or something?" Kelley asked.

"No why?"

Kelley raised an eyebrow. "Oh just cause you have a huge bruise on your neck."

The comment made everyone turn towards JJ and notice the blueish purple mark right where her neck and shoulder meet which JJ tried to cover up, but the water washed away the makeup.

"How'd you acquire that, JJ?" Hope smirked messing with the rookie.

"Must have gotten in a fight or something. Right?" Kling chipped in.

"No no no. Must have been from running into something." HAO added.

"Oh no guys! I figured it out. It's a hickey but who from?" Kelley pretended to think. "I'm guessing it's from Christen Press."

"I think you're right, KO." HAO said as Julie turned bright red. "You know what that means?"

"Oh please tell me, HAO." Kelley jokingly pleaded.

"I think they finally did it."

"You think?"

"I mean if she left that big of hickey and they didn't do it. Damn I would be scared to see what happens when they do."

By now, everyone was holding back laughter as Julie stuttered trying to find the right words.

"Oh come on, JJ. You can tell us. What's the worse that could happen?" Kling tempted.

"Ugh fine. Yes." Julie finally said.

"Called it." Kelley exclaimed high fiving HAO.

"When?!" Half of them asked at the same time.

"Last night..." She said shyly.

"Oh my god! After a game? Damn girl you must have some stamina in, ya." Ali joked at her.

HAO threw her arm around JJ's shoulders. "So how was it? Give us the details."

"Seriously?" Julie groaned.

"Yes it's like initiation into the sex club. You got to share details." Kelley said.

"Well obviously we went pretty well if I have this." She glared at them, gesturing to the hickey.

"Good point." Ali laughed.

"Tell Christen to not be as obvious next time." Tobin joked.

"I wouldn't be talking, Heath." Hope said to her.

"What do you mean?"

Hope swam/walked over to them and swiftly moved Alex's hair so it wasn't covering her neck, revealing several hickies on her collarbone and her neck.
