Chapter Forty-Seven Part One

Chapter 47 part 1:

"You know it's Alex's birthday tomorrow?" Kelley asked nudging her during their water break.

Tobin rolled her eyes. "Thanks captain obvious."

"Just trying to help. Do you have a plan for what you two are do tomorrow? Oh and what did you get her?!"

"Not telling and not telling." She smirked, running back onto the pitch.

"What did she tell you?" Alex asked right when Tobin left.

"Well she knows it is your birthday tomorrow and she wouldn't tell me anything." Kelley huffed out.

"Ugh I don't like surprises."

"Tobin, tell me." Alex whined as she paced their room at night.

"You'll see tomorrow, Lex. I promise it's nothing over the top like come on, it's me. I don't do anything over the top, I'm chill."

"Fine I trust you because we do have training tomorrow." Alex sighed, laying down next to her.

Tobin laughed. "I love you."

"Yeah I love you too. Goodnight."

"Hmm good morning, Tobin." Alex yawned out, turning over.

"Tobin?" She asked, opening her eyes and seeing the empty space next to her.

On the pillow next to her was a note.

"Love,

I woke earlier to prepare my plans for your birthday. You won't see me until team breakfast. I love you and happy birthday.

-Tobin"

"Ugh shouldn't my girlfriend be here to tell me happy birthday when I wake up?" She asked to the empty room.

"Thanks again Pinoe for the guitar." Tobin said leaving their room.

"No problem Tobs. Just don't break it." Pinoe joked.

"I won't!" She called back laughing.

"Hey where's Tobin? She left a note telling me that I would see her at breakfast." Alex asked HAO.

"I haven't seen her yet. She's probably finishing her birthday plans for you. By the way happy birthday."

Alex gave a small smile. "Thanks."

Her phone vibrated and she quickly looked at it.

The text read, "I may have lied about breakfast but I'll give you a hint of where I'm at. Who was my first true love before you came along? -Tobin."

"Idiot." Alex mumbled and stood up.

"See you guys at training later today." She announced before leaving the room.

Catching a cab, she ended up at their training field which sadly she found empty besides a single soccer ball in the middle. She walked over to it and saw that the ball was actually cut in half and inside was all her favorite candies with another note.

"These are for after the World Cup cause I know how much you miss being able to munch on some of these. ;) but anyways since we are in Canada, I'll test your knowledge on the country. What is the name of the first coffee shop that opened here in Vancouver? P.s that's your hint of where to find me."

"Thank god for google." Alex said out loud to no one and typed the question into the search engine as she put the candies in her locker.

Getting the answer, she caught another cab to the location. Opening the door, she realized why Tobin made her go there cause it was absolutely beautiful and it smelled delicious.
