Saved By Carli

XLI

Sage's POV

The team won all of their send off series games which is good. After the final game Jill gave the team a couple days off to go see family and friends and pack for a month. After those days off the team met up in New York before we flew to Paris.

The flight was 8 hours long. Most everybody slept on the flight. I've never been able to sleep on flights so I just watched movies. Once we landed in Paris and have gotten our bags we load up onto the bus and Jill gets up to speak.

"Alright so I'll go over roommates now and we'll go over the rest after everyone is settled in." She says and lists off the names of who's staying with who, but she leaves the couples for last. "Okay so for the couples I have split you guys up...Sorry...but you will be able to sleep in the same room on nights after games." We all look at her confused.

"How?" Ash asks.

"Well Ash you are rooming with Tobin while Ali is rooming with Alex and Carli and Sage are together and Mal and Christen are together." We all nod understanding what she did. "Okay well we are here." Jill says and we get off the bus. When everyone has their bags I'm pulled to the front of the group by Mom and we are joined by Jill as we go to check in.

"Bonjour." I say when we approach the hotel check-in lady. (Hello)

"Bonjour. Comment puis-je vous aider?" She says back. (Hello. How may I help you?)

"C'est l'équipe nationale féminine des États-Unis et nous devons vérifier dans." (This is the United States Women's National Team and we need to check in.)

"Quel nom est-il sous?" (What name is it under?)

"Jill Ellis."

"D'accord. Vous disposez de 20 chambres et une salle de conférence correcte?"(Okay. You have 20 rooms and a conference room correct?)

I turn to Jill. "Is 20 rooms and a conference room correct?" I ask and she nods so I talk to the check in lady. "Oui."(Yes)

"Bien. Vous êtes tous sur le sol 21 et vous avez une salle de conférence 2. Voici vos clés." (Good. You are all on floor 21 and you have conference room 2. Here are your keys.)

"Je vous remercie." I say taking the envelope with the keys and walking to the conference room. (Thank you.)

"Sage wher-" Kelley goes to say, but Mom cuts her off.

"Just follow her. She knows where she is going." I keep walking until I find the conference room and open it after getting the key from the envelope. After everyone is in the room I go up to Jill.

"Okay so this is our conference room." I hand her the key to the room then I hand her the envelope. "And all of our rooms are on the 21st floor."

"Thanks Sage." Jill says and I smile at her and go stand by Mal while Jill explains everything.

"That was hot." She whispers to me and I look at her confused. "You speaking French." I nod in an understanding way.

"Sucks we aren't roomed together. I could've shown you what else my mouth can do." I say and Mal's jaw drops.

"Come on Mal. You can talk to your girlfriend later." Christen says and drags her away.

"Yo what did you say to Mal?" Ash asks after seeing my girlfriends flustered state.

"Nothing." I say then walk away when I'm called by Mom. Mom and I walk up to our room and pack our stuff away then nap off the jet lag.

After everyone had slept off the jet lag we were free for dinner so I'm taking the couples out to dinner. Tobin wanted to take Alex out on a date so they wouldn't be joining us, but I told them I wanted to take them out as well some time. We made reservations at some fancy restaurant that actually had decent portions for the price.

Once we got to the restaurant we noticed it was packed.

"Good thing I made a reservation." I say and everyone nods.

"Bonjour." The hostess says. (Hello)

"Bonjour. Réservation pour six sous Lloyd." I say. (Hello. Reservation for six under Lloyd.)

"Par ici s'il vous plaît." The hostess leads us to our table. (Right this way please.)

"Merci." I say when we sit down.(Thanks.)

"Sage any suggestions on what to order?" Ash asks.

"Well if you want wine pick a Rosé wine. Most likely everything on the menu is good since this is a Michelin 3 star restaurant. If you need translations don't hesitate to ask." I say as our waiter approaches and I grab Mal's hand.

"Bonjour. Mes noms Jules. Je serai votre serveur ce soir. Que puis-je vous faire dames a commencé avec boire?" The waiter says. (Hello. My names Jules. I'll be your server tonight. What can I get you ladies started with to drink?)

I ask the girls what the want to drink then look at the waiter. "Bonjour. Ils veulent une bouteille de Château Minuty Rosé Et Or et Puissions-nous tous avoir des eaux aussi bien." (Hello. They want a bottle of Château Minuty Rosé Et Or and may we all have waters as well.)

"Bien sûr. Je vais avoir ce droit dehors." (Of course. I'll have that right out.)

"Je vous remercie." I say then he leaves. (Thank you.)

"You okay?" Mal asks.

"Yeah. I still get nervous around guys." I say and she nods. The waiter comes back over with our drinks then takes our food order. He comes back 20 minutes later with our food and we eat and talk for the next hour and half.

"Nous vous remercions de dîner avec nous. Avoir une bonne nuit et bonne chance cet été." Our waiter says after coming back with my card after I paid.(Thank you for dining with us. Have a nice night and good luck this summer.)

"Je vous remercie." I say then he leaves. (Thank you.) "He wished you guys good luck in the tournament."

"Cool. Everyone ready?" Mom says and we nod and make the journey back to the hotel. On the way back to the hotel I text Moe and Kling.

Me: Hey there's a macaroon bar in the Eiffel tower. You guys want to go next free time?

Moe: YES

Kling: FUCK YES

After we get back to the hotel room Krashlyn thank me for dinner then head to their room. Mom walks Christen to her room and Mal walks me to mine.

"Thanks for dinner babe." Mal says when we get to my room.

"Of course. Kinda sucks we can't share a room."

"Yeah, but at least we're together. I would've missed you too much if you weren't here."

"Same...Goodnight Mal." I say then kiss my girlfriend.

"Goodnight Sagey." Mal says and walks to her room as I go into mine and shower. After I get out of the shower Mom goes in and does her business while I get into bed. Once Mom is done she joins me in our bed and we go to sleep.
