Forbidden Love

Game Day

The Portland Thorns were playing against the Utah Royals today. It was going to be a good game, both teams were on edge.

Lindsey was excited for the game. Her friends and fellow United States Women's National Team members Christen Press, Kelley O'Hara and Becky Sauerbrunn were on the Royals.

Her other USWNT members Tobin Heath, Emily Sonnett and Adrianna Franch played on the Portland Thorns with her.

Lindsey is really good friends with Tobin, they played on Paris Saint-Germain together after Lindsey got out of high school. Even though Tobin is 6 years older than her, the girls are still close, probably one of each other's best friends.

"Linds, are you ready to go?" she hears Tobin shout.

"Yeah, one sec!" Lindsey grabs her phone and bag from her room, meeting Tobin in the kitchen. The two girls live together, it's just easier when you live with someone on your team who also happens to be one of your best friends.

"Will you let Sonnett know we're on our way?" the older girls asks.

Lindsey nods and does what she asks.

To Sonny

On our way, be ready or else Tobin will be annoyed

From Sonny

The old lady can take a chill pill, I'll be ready.

Lindsey rolls her eyes and chuckles at her friend.

No one knows this, not even Tobin, but Linds has a little crush on the girl. She has for about a year now. They've been through so much together and her feelings grew as time went on. She could never tell Emily because she didn't want to lose their friendship.

"Ready?" Tobin asks. Lindsey nods and lock their apartment, heading to Tobin's car.

"So, are you excited to play against Christen?" Lindsey asks, smirking.

"Oh shut up. We've played against each other before, it's not a big deal." Linds can see her friend start to blush.

"You are SO blushing right now!"

Tobin shakes her head. "We have a bet about who will win the game. The loser has to buy the other one dinner."

"Isn't that just like a regular date for you guys?" Lindsey asks confused.

Tobin shrugs, "I wanted to make it more sexual but Chris wouldn't let me."

"Ew ew! TMI! I didn't need to know that!" Tobin just laughs and the other girl covers her ears with her hands.

"We're all adults Linds, it isn't that big of a deal," Tobin says, rolling her eyes.

"I still didn't need to know," Lindsey mutters under her breath.

They pull up to Emily's apartment and Lindsey texts her other best friend, letting her know that they are here.

When Emily walks out with Hayley Raso, another one of their teammates, the two girls sitting in the car are surprised. "I thought....wait, what?" Lindsey tries to formulate a sentence but words can't seem to come out.

Emily opens the car door and gets in, Hayley scooting in after her. "Hey guys," the blonde says.

Tobin and Lindsey look back at them, confused.

Emily puts on her seatbelt before looking up and seeing her two friends giving her strange looks.

"Aren't we going to be late for practice?" she asks, not knowing why her friends are giving her such strange looks.
