Invisible String

85

As Alex gets closer, the girls and I try and figure out which of the Swift sisters it could be. Or if it even is a Swift.

Alex finally makes her way into the hotel, security following her.

"Alex?"

"Hey guys." Alex says as she walks over to us.

"Who was with you?" Rose asks. "And what's with the bodyguards?"

"That's what I wanted to talk to all of you about. Something that I need to tell all of you." Alex says.

"You look like you knew the paparazzi would be here." Sam says.

Baseball cap on, big sunglasses that made sure to cover her eyes and maybe her whole face, but a nice outfit might I say.

Natalie's POV

"Natalie! Natalie why are you with Alex Morgan?"

"Here to support the women's national team." I say as I try to get through all the paparazzi and into the hotel.

"But why only accompany Alex Morgan?"

"We're good friends."

"Just friends?"

Oof.

"Yes." I say as I try and continue to push myself through the crowd. "Come on guys, you know I'll always try and compromise with you, but not today."

I walk into the hotel lobby and I'm met with all the girls staring right at me. I freeze in my spot as I take my sunglasses off.

"Hello?" I ask as I wave my hand. "I'm Natalie Liliana Swift."

"Wh- bu- you-." Rose stammers out.

"Came to visit some friends." I say with a smile.

"Wait, Alex was about to tell us something." Sam says.

"So as I was about to say, before Nat came in." Alex says and I walk over to stand next to her.

"Sorry did I hear right? You called her Nat?" Emily says and I chuckle.

"Come on Al, don't be so mean, look at them." I say as I nudge her arm.

"Let's go somewhere private." Alex says.

We head to a closed off room, a conference room is where I think we are heading to.

"Babe let me have my fun." Alex says and I chuckle, shaking my head as I look at the girls.

"BABE? BABE?"

"You two?! TOGETHER? DATING?" Emily shouts.

"OH MY GOD."

"How aren't any of you guys freaking out!" Sam shouts, hands in the air.

"Can I have your attention again?" Alex asks.

"Oh we're paying attention." Emily says, eyes wide.

Alex intertwines our hands and I smile as I look around the lobby.

"Hey Tobs." I say waving my hand.

"Best friend!" Tobin shouts and I laugh.

"So, what we wanted to say is that, we're not dating." Alex says and I chuckle.

Alex and I pull our rings from our jacket as we place them on our ring fingers.

"We're actually married." I say with a smile, looking at the girls.
