Babygirl...- Mal Pugh

Y/N pov

I storm off the field after shaking hands and practically stomp into the locker room. I walk over to my locker and bang on the metal gate around it.

"Fuck!" I yell out.

I played so bad. Now I'm probably not going to make the Olympic roster and Vlatko's plans for me just swirled down the drain. We won the game, but I literally did nothing. I seriously just ran back and forth down a field and lost the ball almost everytime it was in my possession.

I throw my "lucky headband" in the trash. I walk over to the showers and get in the shower. I let the water run cold before stepping in.

The coldness shocks my back. It is refreshing though. I was off my face as I hear the girls enter, cheering of course. I mean, they have the right to. They won. I lost.

I stopped the water and grabbed my sweatpants and Mal's old U19 team. It still fits me of course. Since I'm 17 going on 18. I brush out my hair into a ponytail.

I put on some Man's Uggs and walk into the locker room. All my teammates turn to me.

"Skipping out on the fun Y/N?" Carli asks nudging my shoulder.

"Sorry guys. I'm not up for that right now." I say and go sit back in my locker. I bite at my finger nails while scrolling through my phone.

I saw a post that mad me both mad and sad.

Y/N Rodgers' game tonight may of just placed her a spot on just the Thorns.

I exited out of it all my tabs and leaned back. I heard the locker room get quieter so I took the opportunity to scavenge the left over alcohol or champagne.

I put my AirPods in to block out anyone. I played Let you Down by NF. It reflected my mood right now.

I saw a bottle of champagne and popped it open. I grabbed it and just drank right out of it.

"Woah Woah. Let's put that down." I hear Alex say and she rubs my back. "You okay?"

I nod and turn away from her.

"Mal needs to talk to her." I hear Becky say through my music. I sigh out. Mal does need to talk to me. She makes me feel better. Everytime.

"Ladies the bus is loading up!" Coach Vlatko yells and I stand up. I grab my bag and walk to the bus. I walk back to my regular seat and sit down.

I turn to look out the window. I place my chin on the palm of my hand and sigh.

The girls start loading on and the bus gets loud. I just want quiet. I put my good up and continue to look out the window.

"I'm gonna talk to her guys. She's mine to worry about." I hear Mal say through my headphones and I sigh again.

I feel her head on my shoulder. Her hands rub my back and I move the arm rest out of the way. I wrap my arms around her torso and snuggle my head into her stomach. She continues to rub my back.

She takes on of my AirPods out and gets close to my ears.

"I love you."

She puts back in my AirPod and I grab her hand. She rubs it and squeezes it. I smile and close my eyes.

I feel a shake on my shoulder and I lift my head.

Mal is smiling at me.

"We're at the hotel."

I put away my AirPods and walk down the bus aisle way. I exit and follow the group.

"Okay girl! Energy drinks and snacks are in the dining room! Please by back in your rooms by 12. Even though you have an off day tomorrow I don't need anyone sick or sleep deprived." Vlatko yells and makes his way to the elevator.

"I'm gonna go upstairs too. See you up there." I say quietly to Mal. I walk to the stairs and walk up them quickly. I walk down the hall to get to my room. I pull out my key and unlock the door.

I throw my stuff to the side and lay in Mal's bed. I take her blanket and cover myself with it, surrounding myself in her scent. I lean up and grab the teddy bear Mal gave me for my birthday last year. It has her voice in it and her smell is written all over it.

I cuddle it and tears drip down my face. I know you probably think I'm being really over dramatic, but I played really bad. I wipe my tears on the soft fur of the bear.

I hear the hotel door open and Mal'a voice.

"I will! You too! Goodnight Chris! Night Tobs!" I hear Mal yell and I wipe the remainder of my tears.

"Baby?" I hear Mal's voice and I sniffle. "Aww honey-bear." Mal says sitting on the bed. I lift my body up and my head falls into her chest.

"I played so bad Mal..." I cried out into her chest. She ran her fingers through my hair.

"That's what you're so upset about. I was so worried pumpkin. I thought you were mad me or something worse. What am I saying, nothing is worse than you being mad at me." Mal says and I smile, and sniffle.

"I can never be mad at you."

She laughs loudly. "I beg to differ. Every month around the same time you get real pissy with me. But I love you for it. I love helping you and being there for you."

I wrap my arms around her tightly.

"It was just a game. One game. You've had so many amazing games baby. Everyone has that one off game and I guess you're's was today, even though your amazing to me everyday." She says and I blush. I lift my hand to her chest.

"Stop it Mally. Your making me blush."

"Good, as your girlfriend and certified lover, I should. I should make you feel wanted and loved. Amazing and beautiful. And most importantly, important. Cause you are so incredibly important to me." She lifts my head by my cheeks. "You hear me babygirl?"

I nod and she kisses my lips softly.

"I'm gonna change and come cuddle you. You look like you need some Mally cuddles..." she says and I smile. I bounce up and down on the bed like a little kid.

"Hurry up! I'm cold!" I yell into the bathroom and I hear the water turn off. She walks out and pours a glass of water for me. She sets it on my nightstand.

Mal then walks to her side and gets in the bed. I move into her body. My arms stayed compact in her chest and my legs tangle with hers.

She plays with my hair for a while.

"I love you babygirl. So much." Mal whispers and I lift my head a kiss her passionately.

"I love you more."
