Sorry for the shorter chapter today!
Today is game day. Christen and I have gotten a lot closer. I plan on asking her to be my girlfriend before the game. I already talked to the team and the coaches. They are all okay with it. And I'm so nervous.
"You okay y/n?" Christen asks
"Yeah im okay Pressy" I reply with a soft smile
"It's game day, are you excited?" She asks
"Yeah I'm excited to be back to playing." I reply
We headed to breakfast and sat down at our normal seats. I just got something light. The whole team knows I have something special planned and Christen has no idea which I'm so thankful for.
We loaded the bus and get to the arena and head straight to the locker room. I was just taking off my brace and putting on my other one but I'm shaking so bad. I can't get the strap through the buckle.
"Need some help?" Asks Christen
"Yes please" I say
"Your shaking so bad right now" she says pulling me into a hug and I hug her back
"I know" I say
"Do you have a bad feeling something is going to happen? If you do I would talk to Jill and maybe not play today." She says looking at me with a worried expression.
"No it's not that I think something bad is going to happen, I'm just nervous to play again. This is my first big game since I've been shot." I say
"And your gonna do great!" She says
We get in our line and walk out while they do the anthems for Costa Rica and USA. After that the starters get on the field and the game starts. We are up 8-0. The first one to score was heather in the forth minute, then I scored in the 17th minute, then Christen scored in the 29th minute, then Julie scored in the 36th minute. That ended the first half and then Kling scored in the 56th minute, three minutes late Heather scores for the second time in the 59th minute, the Engen scores in the 63ed and Christen closes it out by scoring again in the 68th minute. We won 9-0. It was a great game. The arena empties slowly and we all are just talking. I pull the ball out and toss it to Christen. She catches it and looks down at it and then looks back up at me with a huge smile.
"Good job superstar" I say and hug her.
"Thanks, you did great too" I wouldn't have made two of them without your help on getting me the ball." she says holding the ball
She still hasn't seems the lettering on the ball. We head to the locker room. I want her to notice it when she notices. We change and we are the last ones in locker room.
"Thanks for the ball" she says smiling and looking down at it and finally realizes the lettering. She smiles and looks up at me.
"So what do you say?" I ask
"Yes of course! Oh my god this is the cutest thing ever! Why didn't you tell me to look at it?!" She asks getting up to hug me.
"I wanted you to notice it on your own". I say hugging her back.
She wraps her arms around my neck and I wrap mine around her waist. She stares into my eyes as I do the same. She leans in and so do I until our lips finally connect. It was short and soft. It was like a bunch of fireworks just went off and the butterflies in my stomach. We break apart and we are both smiling.
"We should go get on the bus" I say
"Yeah your probably right." she says laughing. I switch braces and she helps me with the different straps. She pecks my lips after and of course I peck them back. Then we walk to the bus. We sit down next to each other. She grabs my hand and I interlock our fingers and I bring the back of her hand to my lips and kisses it. She just smiles at me and we hold hands the whole time.
We get back to the hotel and Christen gets in the shower and then I get in after her. After that we walk down together for dinner. We eat with the team and then we decide to go get something for desert. We went to this bakery place and I got some (whatever your favorite desert) tand Christen got some strawberry cheesecake.
I turn away for a second looking at the surroundings. I couldn't help but feel like someone is watching us. I know my dad is still out there, and I know he will strike again.
"Hey babe" says Christen
"Yeah" I say and turn back to Christen but I feel something cold and white get put on my nose.
"You did not just put whip cream on my nose." I say laughing
"Oh, but I did" she says laughing
I get the whip cream off my nose and chuckle.
"Your lucky your cute" I say
"Well duh of course I'm cute." she says causing me to chuckle
After that we finish our desert and walk back to the hotel to watch a movie. One the way there I bump into someone. I felt something poke me.
"Ow" I say holding my arm
"You okay babe?" Asks Christen as I smile at the new nickname.
"Yeah I'm okay, that guy bumped into me and I thought something poked me." I reply rubbing my arm.
"Oh, we can look at it once we get back to the hotel, it's getting close to curfew and I don't want to feel the wrath of coach Jill." She says tugging at my hand to keep walking.
"Yeah I agree" I say as we continued our walk back to the hotel.
We finally got back to the hotel and we got up to our room, we both changed into your pajamas and then We both get in her bed and she turned on the Notebook. Next thing I know my eyes are getting heavy and I'm leaning on Christen falling asleep.
Christens pov
Y/n and I are watching the notebook and about half way through the movie I looked down to see she was fast asleep. I smiled and slowly laid her head on the pillow. I took off her brace and set it on the table next to the bed. I laid back down next to her and she cuddled into my chest almost instantly. Our legs tangled together and I wrapped my arms securely around her waist. I fell asleep minutes later.
