Their time in New York ends faster than they thought, mostly because the days are packed with preparations and people to meet before leaving for January Camp. They try to cherish every moment with just the two of them, however it seems as if there is never enough time. Now that they are on their way to the hotel in which the team meets up in LA, they know things are getting pretty serious. They share a knowing look when the driver pulls up the driveway. It’s time to focus on just one goal, which is winning the World Cup. Kelley takes Alex’s hand in her own, squeezing it tightly.
“Let’s do this.” Alex says, looking in her eyes deeply to which Kelley responds with a determined nod before getting out of the car. When they enter the lobby, they are greeted by some of the staff members and coaching staff, who happily congratulate them on their engagement and catch up with them for a bit. Just as they are handed their room keys and the schedule for the next week, a loud whistling is heard throughout the lobby.
“Well, well, if that isn’t WoSo’s hottest power couple.” Megan hollers with a huge grin as she walks towards them with her arms stretched out.
“I prefer soccer’s hottest power couple.” Kelley grins, walking into Megan’s arms, who hugs her tightly.
“Congrats man, what a move O’Hara. Good job.” Megan whispers in her ear happily and proudly while patting her back.
“Thanks, Pinoe. It means a lot.” Kelley smiles brightly, pulling back and holding onto her shoulders, looking at her just as proudly.
“Giiiirl, show me the ring though!” Megan whoops, walking towards Alex, pulling her in a tight hug as well.
“I missed you, Pinoe.” Alex laughs, rocking from side to side while hugging her. Little by little, the whole team arrives at the hotel and everyone is super happy for Alex and Kelley. Some cheer, some yell, some cry and some make lame jokes, but to be honest, that’s still a typical start to January Camp. After all the emotions, Alex and Kelley are happy when the first day of camp comes to an end after a welcome speech by Jill and collective dinner. The next morning starts pretty busy. After breakfast, the first training and gym sessions start, followed by some press obligations and lunch. After lunch, they have a meeting, another training session and recovery before heading to dinner. When they finish dinner, Jill wants to exchange some words with Kelley and check up on how she has been doing after her injury, so Alex already makes her way to their room. She goes to the bathroom, removes her make-up and brushes her teeth before she lays down on the bed and grabs her book. A few minutes later the door opens and Kelley walks in, making her way to the bed and crawling on top of Alex. She lays her head on her stomach exhaustedly, the rest of her body somewhat lays between Alex’s legs while her own legs dangle off the bed. Alex reaches for Kelley’s head, putting her hand through her hair, stroking it and slowly disregarding her book, laying it on her nightstand. Kelley runs her hands up and down Alex’s sides, pushing her top up in the process and exposing her tanned skin. She softly starts trailing kisses from Alex’s hipbone up to her ribcage.
“How are you?” Alex asks softly, still stroking her hair lovingly. Kelley stops, letting out a stream of hot air against the skin just underneath Alex’s ribcage. She then nuzzles her head against Alex’s stomach, groans and lays her head down with her ear pressed to Alex’s stomach. She sneaks her arms between the mattress and Alex’s back, hugging her tightly around the waist, which causes Alex’s back to arch slightly so Kelley’s arms fit underneath her.
“Aww, somebody is tired.” Alex says softly, smiling down at Kelley, watching her closely, who just lays there with her eyes closed.
“I barely saw you today.” Kelley pouts, nuzzling her nose against Alex and pressing another kiss to her skin.
“You are so cute when you’re sleepy.” she says, moving one of her hands to Kelley’s neck and slowly running it down her spine as far as she can reach, lightly massaging her back muscles under her shirt. Kelley let’s out a moan of relief as she feels the soreness in her back being eased.
“God, please never stop.” Kelley mumbles, now pressing her forehead against Alex’s stomach.
“I’ll have to stop eventually, or you’ll fall asleep with half of your body on the floor.”
“That’s fine, as long as you keep doing that.”
Kelley slowly let’s go of Alex’s waist to crawl up her body until they are face to face. Kelley’s eyes lock with Alex’s while she is hovering over her.
Kelley’s eyes start wandering, studying Alex’s face closely.
“You look pretty.” Kelley finally says after a few seconds, her mouth curved into a cute smile. Alex reaches up and puts a strand of hair behind Kelley’s ear.
Kelley’s soft smile, turns into a bright beaming smile, which causes Alex to smile even brighter as well. She grabs the collar of Kelley’s shirt and pulls her down for a kiss. Kelley carefully lowers the lower part of her body on top of Alex again while holding herself up with her hands on either side of Alex’s head. She turns her head slightly, deepening the kiss and Alex’s hands move to her face, holding on to it. Their tongues clash lovingly and Kelley starts sucking on Alex’s bottom lip, biting it lightly, which causes Alex to let out a little moan. Kelley smirks slightly and then breaks the kiss, moving to a spot on Alex’s neck, which is extremely sensitive. Alex starts giggling and twitching immediately.
“Not that spot, that tickles.” she giggles loudly. Kelley gives her a lopsided grin and starts kissing and teasing the spot again just to hear Alex laugh like that.
“Kel, stop! That’s unfair, you know that spot is sensitive!” Alex full on laughs, squirming, trying to push Kelley away by her chest.
“Kel-ley!” she giggles, trying to breath. Alex grabs Kelley’s head and pushes her onto her back with all her strength. Alex straddles Kelley’s hips and pins her arms to the mattress. Kelley grins, looking at Alex’s ribcage rising and falling quickly as she’s trying to catch her breathe.
“You little cheat, that was naughty.” Alex pants.
“That’s how you like it.” Kelley smirks, thrusting her hips into Alex, which makes Alex’s jaw drop.
“Ooookay tiger, stop it before I rip your shirt off.”
“In that case, why would I?”
“Because we have rules.” Alex says, looking at Kelley warningly, leaning down to peck her lips before lying down next to her.
“I hate camp rules.” Kelley whines, rolling over and putting her head in Alex’s cleavage. She cups Alex’s boobs, “I know you guys hate camp rules too, we’re going to break them eventually.”
Alex looks down at Kelley and gives her an are you serious look.
“Are you really talking to my boobs right now?”
“That’s for them and me to know!” Kelley defends, kissing her cleavage.
“I mostly can’t believe it, but I’m so in love with you.” Alex mumbles under her breath, shaking her head.
“Huh? What did you say?” Kelley asks, lifting her head.
“I said I’m donating you to the zoo.”
“Hey! That’s rude.” Kelley exclaims with a frown. Alex leans down to kiss her head and the frown is replaced by a smile again. Kelley looks at Alex intently, leaning up to peck her chin.
Alex smiles at her, “Really good, I missed you though.”
Kelley reaches for Alex’s hand and intertwines them while Alex goes back to stroking Kelley’s head with her other hand.
“How is your ankle holding up?” Alex asks and Kelley starts playing with her hand, watching their interlocked hands for a while, not answering the question.
“Kel.” Alex lets out with a worried voice.
“This whole thing is taking a toll on me. Honestly? I feel exhausted.” Kelley mumbles defeatedly.
When it’s Alex’s turn not to answer, Kelley looks up at her quickly. When she sees that Alex looks at her concerned Kelley tries to back paddle.
“Exhausted in a sense of tired.”
“Have I ever been wrong about something like this?”
Kelley looks at Alex confidently, who gives her a deadpan look in return.
“Actually, yeah, quite a lot.”
“Okaaay, I may have been wrong once or twice, but-” Kelley rambles.
“More like countless times.” Alex interrupts.
“Buuut I’m feeling a lot better since being with you.” Kelley cheeses with a huge grin. When Alex looks into Kelley’s eyes, she sees a mix of pleading to just let it go and Kelley really meaning that she is making her feel better, which is why Alex decides to roll her eyes and let it go. She smiles at Kelley, who visibly relaxes at the change of mood.
“You better tell the physicians about that then.”
“So they prescribe me to lie in bed with you?”
“Whatever helps.” Alex grins.
“I mean, you mentioned the rules.” Kelley wiggles her eyebrows. She starts kissing along Alex’s collarbone and now both of Alex’s hands tangle in Kelley’s hair. Kelley slowly makes her way to Alex’s pulse point, lightly and almost teasingly sucking the skin. Alex’s breathing speeds up immediately, her nails lightly scratching Kelley’s scalp. She looks up at the ceiling scrunching up her face, desperately trying to convince herself that she should make Kelley stop, but it feels too good. She closes her eyes and while Kelley kisses her neck, one of Alex’s hands moves to her back, digging her nails in to silently tell her to keep going. Kelley smirks against her skin and leaves open mouthed kisses on her jaw, which makes Alex throw her head back to give her better access. Kelley’s hand moves down to disappear in Alex’s shorts, applying pressure to her center through her panties. Alex’s jaw falls open slightly and a soft breathless moan escapes her, “Kel.”
Kelley’s hand moves to the hem of Alex’s underwear, disappearing under one more layer of clothing while she kisses Alex’s throat. Alex pulls Kelley up for a sloppy kiss and when Kelley’s fingers finally touch Alex’s center, Kelley’s lips are on her neck again. Alex’s jaw goes slack, when suddenly her eyes dart open and she freezes at a muffled voice that doesn’t belong to Kelley.
“Kel, stop.” Alex panics and Kelley pulls away immediately, sitting up fully. She looks at a flustered Alex worriedly.
“I’m sorry. Did I do something wrong?” she asks caringly and respectfully. Alex can spot a bit of panic in her eyes when she looks up at her and her heart skips a beat. She is meaning to answer, but before Alex can say anything the voice is talking again, this time louder.
“I swear Kellex, don’t you dare have sex while I’m next door! I’m not sure if that was a moan I heard, but if so you better stop right fucking now.” Crystal’s voice announces from the door and Kelley looks at Alex wide eyed before putting her finger to her lips, gesturing for Alex to stay quiet.
“What are you doing?” Alex whisper yells when Kelley stands up and walks to the door. She hears Kelley opening the door, which she can’t see from the bed.
“Sorry Crys, Alex is already asleep and the air conditioner made too much noise, so I kind of tried to jump to hit the off button. This damn thing hangs too high to reach, but I didn’t want to wake Alex up again.” Kelley whispers, pretending to be out of breath from jumping.
“Oh my god, girl I feel you. I had the same problem last night. These things seem to be mounted extra high whenever it’s most inconvenient.” Crystal whispers back.
“So annoying.” Kelley scoffs.
“And here I am thinking you two are getting it on. Sorry for that.” Crystal laughs.
“That’s alright. I’d be thinking the same.” Kelley chuckles.
“Okay, I hope I didn’t wake up Alex.”
“Nah, I think if she slept through my groaning a knock on the door won’t wake her.”
“Let’s hope so. Good night, Kel.”
“Night Crys.” Kelley says and she closes the door. When she walks around the corner Alex looks at her in shock, her jaw agape for other reasons than just a minute ago.
“Are you a Russian spy or something like that?”
Kelley lays down next to Alex again, propping her head up on her elbow.
“If I tell you, I might have to kill you.” Kelley smirks.
“That was insane! She totally bought it. How did you come up with that story this quickly?” Alex gasps.
“I overheard her complaining about not being able to reach the air conditioner at lunch.” Kelley shrugs.
“You’re too smart.” Alex whispers dumbfounded, shaking her head.
“You’re too loud.” Kelley chuckles, earning a hit in the chest by Alex.
“Shut up.” Alex says, hiding her face by pressing it to Kelley’s chest. Kelley smiles down at her, kissing the crown of her head.
“It’s okay, I feel like screaming when I look at you too.” Kelley teases.
“Stop it.” Alex blushes. Kelley leans down again, kissing Alex’s cheek repeatedly.
“You’re cute when you blush.”
Alex grabs Kelley’s chin and holds her still. She looks up at her, due to Kelley still leaning slightly over her while laying propped up on her elbow.
“You’re cute when you worry about my consent.” Alex smiles softly, referring to Kelley asking if she did something wrong. Alex leans up to press a kiss to her lips.
“I just want you to feel save.” Kelley says matter of factly.
“I do. Always.” Alex smiles, pulling her down for a few more kisses.
“As much as I hate it, it seems as if you were right though…about that camp rule.”
“I can’t believe I hear Kelley O’Hara say I’m right about camp rule.” Alex fake gasps.
“I don’t mean in general, I mean in this particular hotel. Maybe the next one will have soundproof walls.” Kelley remarks.
“I’ll talk to the coaching staff about it.”
“As long as you behave for now, you can do whatever you want. No funny business!” Alex warns.
“I’ll do my best.” Kelley says, holding up her hands in innocence.
“Good.” Alex smiles, pecking her lips.
“I wouldn’t mind some of that back massaging though.”
“Of course you wouldn’t. Come here.” Alex chuckles. Kelley lays down on top of Alex again, her head resting against her neck as Alex reaches for Kelley’s back. After a few minutes, Alex’s train of thought goes back to Kelley’s health once more even though she wanted to let it go.
“But Kel?” she asks quietly, stroking underneath her shirt comfortingly.
“Mhhm?” Kelley purrs, her eyes closed.
“You need to tell them if you are in pain or have problems.” Alex says, not quite able to drop the topic without a plea yet.
“Yeah.” Kelley mumbles against her neck, lightly pressing a kiss to it.
“Okay.” Alex says softly.
Just minutes after Alex started again, Kelley falls asleep on top of her and Alex reaches for the bedside lamp to turn off the lights.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day the coaching staff introduces a mini tournament. They split the team up into groups of 7 and the teams are divided into defenders and attackers. As a little incentive the coaching staff promises that the winning team is going to get a surprise. Originally, the tournament was intended as a fun idea to lighten up the training session, however as it progresses it is getting more and more intense with every game and every group wants to win the prize. As chance would have it, Kelley’s and Alex’s teams make it to the final. Therefore, Alex, Alyssa, Tobin, Mal, Rose, Christen and Megan are up against Kelley, Becky, JJ, Crystal, Tierna, Abby and Ashlyn. The game is almost over and Alex’s team needs at least a tie to win the tournament, however Kelley’s team is up 1:0, because of a brilliant cross by Kelley that lead to a ridiculous header by JJ. The last minute is running and Alex’s team finds itself with their last chance of a counter attack. Christen plays a perfect pass over the last line of defense and which falls directly into Alex’s run. Alex sprints towards the ball, outpacing all the defenders, realizing that no one is going to be able to catch up with her now. She runs towards goal, knowing that if she shoots at the right point, a goal will be unpreventable. She focuses on the top right corner, because from the angle Ashlyn won’t be able to make a save. She takes her last step and starts to swing her leg towards the ball, when suddenly she sees a shadow and someone slide tackles the ball away from her feet, causing her to fall towards the ground. In this moment, Alex knows once she is going to hit the ground, the fall is going to hurt badly. However, the person holds out their hands, catching her at her hips and cushioning her fall with their body so that Alex doesn’t even touch the ground. They slide across the field until the endline and everything happens so fast that Alex only recognizes that she lays on top of Kelley when they stop sliding.
Alex looks at her dumbfounded, her jaw agape, “You didn’t!”
“Oh, I did.” Kelley winks and pushes Alex off of her, standing up and brushing off the dirt that is covering her entire back. Jill blows the whistle and Kelley’s team celebrates their win like a real tournament win. Alex looks at JJ and Ashlyn lifting Kelley up while still sitting on the ground next to the slide marks that almost look like someone plowed up the field. Her team walks towards her with looks of compassion and all pat Alex on the back encouragingly.
“How the fuck did she catch up to me? I outran them all.” Alex asks baffled.
“Dude, her pace was insane, no chance.” Tobin shrugs and Alex groans loudly, banging her fist on the ground. Pinoe high fives Kelley, pulling her to her chest.
“If there would be couches in your hotel room, you would be sleeping on one.” Pinoe laughs loudly.
“Shut up.” Kelley chuckles.
“Oh, wait maybe it’s the lobby for you then.” Pinoe goes on, causing Tobin to laugh loudly.
“At least those couches are comfortable man.” Tobin joins in.
“You must have some experiences with that Tobin.” Kelley smirks, causing Tobin to shut up.
“Uhh, savage.” Ashlyn laughs, while Tobin pushes Kelley’s shoulder lightly. Kelley walks towards Alex, who is taking off her shin guards on the ground. She bends down and hugs Alex from behind, pulling her up in one swift motion by hooking her arms under Alex’s. She then leans to whisper in her ear.
“Come on pretty girl, stop sulking. I’ll let you score next time.” she says, pressing a kiss to her ear and slapping her butt, before quickly ducking from the shin guard that is aimed at her. The first one is a miss, but the second one hits Kelley right in the back while she’s running towards the locker room. Kelley lets out a mix of a laugh and a pained groan. She then picks up Alex’s shin guards and stuffs them inside her waistband.
“Watch it O’Hara!” Alex yells after her and Kelley blows her a kiss from the other side of the field, before disappearing in the tunnel.
“I sometimes hate her.” Alex rolls her eyes walking towards Allie, who waited up for her.
“That doesn’t stop you from sleeping with her.” Allie says, handing Alex a water bottle.
“We all have our habits.”
Allie snorts and they both make their way to the locker room as well. Kelley is standing at her locker, pulling her shirt over her head, when Alex approaches her, hugging her from the side. Kelley smiles at Alex immediately, looking at her expectantly.
“Do that again and you are sleeping in the lobby indeed.” she whispers, pulling back and smiling brightly, as if she just told her the most awesome news. She then leans in to kiss Kelley’s ear just like Kelley did kiss hers. When she pulls back, she winks at a puzzled Kelley, slaps her butt and walks towards her locker happily. Kelley looks after her speechlessly and before she can do anything she is interrupted by Dawn.
“Alright guys, hurry up! Recovery at the pool in 10.” she yells from outside the locker room, causing everyone to speed up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Oh my god, that’s so cold!” Mal exclaims.
“What is this?! Did you put the iceberg the titanic crashed into in here? I’d rather die than going in there right now.” Kelley groans, making the group laugh.
“Do we really have to Dawn?” Sam whines.
“Absolutely. I’m back in 15 minutes and I want everyone in there by then.”
“Oh, come on.” Kelley turns around, looking at Dawn in disbelieve, who walks away with a smile.
“Okay guys, who is going in first? Because I am not.” Crystal says, after touching the water. Everybody looks at each other cluelessly, not wanting to be the first. Lindsey and Sonnett start joking around pretending to jump in to see if Rose and Sam will jump for real, but everyone is smart enough to refrain from doing it. While all the attention is drawn to the younger players antics, Alex stands in front of Kelley and playfully pushes her in the chest, smirking at her, causing Kelley to almost fall into the water. Kelley quickly grabs Alex’s waist and brings her in close. She stands at the edge of the pool with her back to it, holding onto Alex tightly so that if she pushes her, Alex will fall into the pool too.
“Try that again.” Kelley smirks cockily. Alex gets in her face, wearing a sexy smile, mustering her up and down, causing Kelley to look at her confused. Alex puts one of her hands in-between them, resting it on Kelley’s chest, letting it glide down her body excruciatingly slow. Her hand is wet and cold from feeling the temperature of the water, causing some drops of water to make their path down Kelley’s body, predicting the destination of Alex’s hand as they pool at the seam of her bikini bottoms. Alex’s other hand is playing with the hair at the nape of her neck and Kelley is looking down between them nervously.
“Alex, what are you doing?” Kelley asks quietly through gritted teeth, turning her head to check if anybody is watching. Alex leans forward to whisper in Kelley’s ear, but instead breathes hot air against her ear, making Kelley blush furiously. Alex smirks, knowing what effect she has on Kelley. Alex pulls away, biting her lip seductively and looking into Kelley’s eyes deeply. Kelley gulps heavily when Alex looks at her with her typical fuck me look. She asks herself what has gotten into Alex, doing all of this in front of their teammates and risking to be seen. However, that thought is forgotten when Alex moves her lips to Kelley’s ear again, making her take in a deep breath. Just when Kelley expects her to say something, Alex let’s out a low sexy moan that makes Kelley freeze and sends shivers down her spine. Alex pulls away, getting out of Kelley’s grip easily and looking at her as if nothing happened.
“Fuck my life.” Kelley whispers, looking at Alex pained, feeling extremely turned on. She then pushes herself off the edge and jumps into the pool with a backflip.
“HOOOLY SHIT!” she yells when she comes up again and everybody looks at her wide eyed, except for Alex, who is trying to hide her laughter. Kelley then pushes herself out of the pool and charges towards Alex, who takes off squealing.
“Duck for cover!!” Allie yells, pushing her way through the group, trying to hide. Everybody starts laughing and they all run away, not wanting to get dragged into the pool as well. After a few steps, Kelley catches Alex and grabs her waist, picking her up easily.
“Kelley, stop!! I’m serious, stop!” Alex screeches.
Kelley turns around and carries Alex to the pool, who laughs loudly and tries to escape from Kelley’s grip yet again. However, Kelley jumps straight into the water, making Alex scream loudly. When they hit the water, it splashes on most of their teammates, which causes a huge battle. Now, everybody starts to push each other into the water as well. Alex comes up gasping for air.
“OH MY GOD!!” she exclaims, pushing her hair out of her face and reaching for Kelley, clinging onto her shoulders to push her upper body out of the ice-cold water. She hooks her legs around Kelley’s ribcage and steadies herself by holding onto the back of Kelley’s head so that only her legs touch a little bit of the water. Kelley hooks one arm under her butt and one around her spine to stabilize her. She then cranes her neck to look up at Alex with a huge grin.
“You dirty motherfucker.” Alex says, looking down at Kelley. Kelley’s jaw drops and she looks at Alex in disbelief, laughing loudly.
“I can’t believe you just said that.”
“What are you going to do about it?” Alex smirks provocatively.
“Actually, nothing.” Kelley responds with a lopsided grin.
“No clever comeback and you’re letting me use you as a life belt while you are in that water? Babe, did you hit your head?” Alex smiles at her, pushing Kelley’s hair back.
“No, but I got no reason to complain.”
“Actually, you got plenty.”
“Nope.” Kelley says, popping the p.
“Cause my face is between your boobs.” Kelley cheeses.
“Why do I even like you perv?” Alex rolls her eyes.
“You love me-” Kelley grins.
“-And I love those.” she jokes, mustering Alex’s cleavage.
“Gosh, keep it in your pants, O’Hara!” Megan calls.
“Shut up, Pinoe.” Alex defends, flipping her off. Kelley gives Alex a look to which Alex replies with a nod. Kelley then dives under water and comes up again with Alex sitting on her shoulders.
“Come at us, Pinoe!” Kelley challenges, holding up her fists, throwing some air punches.
“I got you, Pinoe.” Allie says, diving under water as well to pick Megan up.
“Are you sure this is gonna work babe?” Alex asks, looking down at Kelley unsurely.
“Of course, why wouldn’t it?”
“Because you’re like 2 inches smaller than me.”
“But I’m also reeeeally strong.” Kelley grins, wiggling her eyebrows. Alex rolls her eyes and slaps her forehead, while shaking her head.
“I think I changed my mind. Will somebody please help me fight against this showoff?” she asks Megan and Allie, pointing down at Kelley.
“Too late Al, you made your decisions years ago.” Allie says empathically, which causes Megan to laugh loudly.
“I’m right here.” Kelley exclaims irritated.
“Hush, I’m talking to Allie.”
“I think you forgot that I could throw you in that water in one motion.”
“Don’t you dare, it’s cold!” Alex whines.
“Sounds like a personal problem.”
“You’re bickering like an old married couple and you aren’t even married, where is this going to end?” Megan shakes her head.
“Stop interrupting them Pinoe, I’m enjoying this way too much.” Allie says excitedly.
“Okay that’s enough.” Kelley says as she holds onto Alex’s thighs tightly and charges towards them. Megan and Alex immediately start trying to push each other into the water. First it seems as if Megan and Allie indeed have an advantage due to Kelley not only being shorter than Alex, but also being even shorter than Allie. However, that advantage doesn’t work out like they thought it would. Even Alex is kind of surprised at how well Kelley is managing to simultaneously hold their balance and wrestle Allie. When Allie looks at Kelley, she is wearing a huge smirk and Allie furrows her eyebrows.
“What are you smirking at Worms?” Allie complains, visibly struggling when Kelley takes another step closer to give Alex the opportunity to push Megan. Kelley looks up at the determined look on Alex’s face and looks right at Allie.
“This.” she says, just before she and Alex both shove them at the same time. Megan and Allie fall backwards, which causes the water to splash and them to scream. When they come up from the water, they are met with loud laughter by their teammates and winning poses by Alex and Kelley.
“They’re never going to let us live that down.” Allie says to Megan.
“Come on guys, what were you thinking?” Julie chuckles.
“Seriously, have you forgotten who was sitting on my shoulders? As if Alex Morgan was going to let you win at any kind of game. Allie, you should have known better. You know Alex is crazy competitive.” Kelley snorts.
“So are you!” Alex protest.
“Personally, I wouldn’t mess with Kelley.” Becky laughs.
“Okay I have to say, that was kind of stupid Pinoe.” Allie admits.
“I think she could easily take out a grown man.” Becky jokes, while Megan scoffs and the team laughs.
“Yeah no shit and I still help Pinoe even though I witnessed that.” Allie chuckles, slapping her hand to her forehead.
“What do you mean you witnessed that?!” Megan exclaims, as all eyes fly to Kelley. Kelley looks at Allie wide eyed, who slapped her hand over her mouth immediately and looks at her wide eyed as well. Kelley’s head quickly cranes so she can look up at Alex, who still sits on her shoulders.
“Let’s see how you get out of this one, killer.” Alex chuckles and leans down to press a kiss to Kelley’s cheek.
“Alex, get in the water!” Dawn yells as she makes her way to the edge of the pool.
“But it’s too cold.” Alex pouts. Dawn laughs and gives Kelley a look.
“Wait, what was that look? Kelley, I swear-“ but she is interrupted by Kelley letting herself fall backwards, immerging them both in the water.
“Traitor.” Alex pouts at Kelley as she comes up again.
