Christen was beyond happy right now. Except from the whole Allie Long thing, her life was perfect.

Her mom immediately liked Julie. Of course her daughter had talked about the blonde and how cute and nice she was, but once she knocked on the door of her childhood house, Christen was feeling very nervous. But moma Press and her dad were very nice to them. Julie immediately felt at home, and it was only the beginning.

Today, they were going for a walk by the beach. Hand in hand, they were just wandering, talking about details and happy experiences.

- I sometimes wonder how my life would be if you didn't exist, Julie said in a thoughtful tone.

- You'd be married to a douchebag, Christen said sharply.

Julie's eyes went wide. Her girlfriend didn't seem very happy those past two days, and the defender was suspecting it had something to do with the conversation she had with her dad at that time.

She just stepped on Christen's way.

- Babe, talk to me, Julie said in a very sweet tone.

The brunette's eyes fell on the ground, and before Julie could add anything, she said :

- My dad said you were a distraction.

Julie frowned.

- Do you think I'm one ?

- No! No! We've been playing on the same team for years now, and you always brought the best of me. It's juat that I'm tired to be critiziced about who I'm dating.

The took a little break, during which she looked at her girlfriend with loving eyes.

- I love you, and I can't stand anyone taking shit about you, because you're perfect to me.

- Imma talk to you dad, babe, Julie said in a confident tone.

- Don't, he's just gonna get mad.

- Don't worry, I'll just show him that I'm not some stupid distraction for you. Besides, I'm your number two fan.

- Who's number one ? Christen asked.

- Your dad, obviously.

Christen gave her a sweet look, before pulling her closer. Their lips met, and it was like the first time they kissed, over and over again. But Julie tensed up. She broke their connection, her eyes locked on something behind Christen. The brunette turned around, and her jaw dropped. No fucking way, she thought.

Two paparazzi were taking photos of them. They were spotted, that was it. Julie took Christen's arm and pulled her somewhere quieter. She then began to walk back and forth. Christen knew this wasn't gonna end well.

Still, she said :

- Honey, breathe.

- Breathe ? Julie repeated nervously. It's gonna be all over the news ! Just before the Olympics ! Damn, Christen, I can't breathe right now ! Our team will be added into the mix, and the attention of the fans on us, and not on our performance ! And my parents are gonna get even madder! Jill is gonna rip our heads off, a-and...

- Julie, Christen exclaimed louder.

- B-but, Christen, we...

- It's gonna be alright baby, the brunette said.

She pulled her girlfriend closer and kissed her forehead.

- I'm going to call Jill as soon as we get home. Then, our teammates to inform them of the situation. I'll do whatever it takes to keep you... Us, safe. I just need you to calm down.

- O-ok, Julie said. I'm very calm.

- You're shaking, Christen said with a little smile.

Julie wrapped her arms around her neck, and gently kissed her.

- I love you, she whispered.

- We're gonna get ready for the storm, babe, Christen said in the same tone. I love you.

And what a storm it'll be...
