Best Hugs

Your POV:

All the World Cup players head off with their national teams. 

I had tickets to the USA's first game. I also had a game with Chicago the opening day.

We got to New York and started getting ready for the game. 

"Yo!" I looked.

"Hey Sam." She hugged me. "What's up giant?"

"Nothing- hey. I don't want to be called giant." 

We talked and then I left with the team. 

In the locker room we paid attention to the game. Canada and China.

"Canada's got this." Danny said.

We went out and played our game.

We lost. 3-1.

Our next game wasn't till the end of the month. The team went to visit family, I went to the airport and flew to Winnipeg.

When I landed I saw I had a text from Kelley.

Let me know when you land

So I texted her.

I just landed

Ok. Be right there.

I locked my phone and got my bag.

I waited and saw a car pull up in front of me. Kelley jumped out of the drivers seat and walked over to me.

"Hey you didn't have to come pick me u-" She wrapped her arms around me.

"I missed you." She mumbled into my shoulder.

"Aw O'Hara. I turned you into a big softie." She laughed. 

"You bring out the best in me L/N." She said. She put my bag in the car and drove to the hotel I was staying at. 

"Shouldn't you be with the team?"

"Yeah but I want to make sure you get settled before I leave. Lucky for you, my parents are staying at the same hotel."

"Oh great. My time in Winnipeg is full of the O'Hara charm." She laughed. 

I got checked in and went to my room. She threw herself on the extra bed.

"So how's NWSL life?" She asked.

"Pretty good. First loss against Western New York." I shrugged.

"Yeah we watched it."

"We?"

"We had 2 screens going. Washington and Boston on one screen, Chicago and the Flash on the other." 

"Enough soccer." She said. "While we're here can I take you on a 2nd date?" 

"If you have enough free time. We'll see."

"That is an answer I will happily take." She got up. "I better head back. You have good seats tomorrow?"

"The best my mom could get."

"Your mom?" I explained the whole situation. "Good woman." 

"She is."

"So I'll see you tomorrow?"

"You will." I said.

"Good luck hug?" She asked.

"Ok you dork." I hugged her.

"I swear you give the best hugs."

"Why are you such a dork?" She laughed. "Get out of here before I catch whatever you have." She opened the door.

"You love me."

"I wouldn't go that far O'Hara."

"Whatever you say L/N." She left.

"Dork."
