Tension - Alex Morgan [GxG]

Part 26

"Alex...we'll make this work, okay? I'll fly over to Orlando to see you every chance I get, and then we have another States camp in two months too right", I tried to reassure her. "Look at me baby", I told her as I delicately lifted her chin, her watery eyes made my heart melt and I was quick to pull her towards me and wrap my arms around my waist. Her arms clasped around my neck tightly as she held onto my for dear life and shed a couple of tears.

"You'll face time me every day?", she sniffed as she pulled away slightly to look into my eyes. "I promise", I told her solemnly. She stayed in my arms for a few more minutes as she calmed down then she looked at me with a soft nod. "Breakfast?", she asked with a smile. "As long as you're not having avocado", I replied as we got up, earning a playful shove.

"Keep up that attitude and I'll be having avocado with every single meal", she joked. "Then I won't ever get to kiss you, cmon I'm already like half vegan because you won't kiss my meaty mouth", I whined. "Ew that sounds gross", she scrunched her nose. "Yeah...meaty mouth...I promise not to say that again", I agreed as we both laughed. 

We sobered as we approached a few of our other team mates as we waited for the lift to arrive. "Hey guys", everyone greeted each other tiredly. The small crowd stepped into the lift and Alex and I were pushed apart and now stood on opposing sides. She looked back at me for a few seconds as the doors shut and I winked, making her bite back a small smile as she turned to face the front.

I noticed Christen look up at me and narrow her eyes slightly as she looked back between me and Alex for a few seconds. Shit she had definitely seen our little interaction. I looked back at her with pleading eyes and she eventually cracked a smile, and made a gesture of zipping her mouth and throwing away the key. I relaxed immediately and flashed her a grateful smile as everyone exited the lift. 

At breakfast I found myself sandwiched between Kelley and Trinity, and annoyingly was nowhere near me, she was sat on the other side of the long table. "Stop fidgeting Y/N", Trinity laughed as Kelley nudged me. "I know you're itching to sit with your girlfriend but please just five minutes of peace is all I'm asking for right now", Kelley whispered as she bit back a laugh. I shoved her in the ribs, an action with Alex noticed as she tried not to smile from the other side of the table. 

Other than the usual gossip, breakfast was otherwise uneventful and soon enough everyone was gathered in the conference room for a goodbye meeting of sorts. Kelley and I found ourselves sat behind Alex and Megan unlike last time. Kelley turned to me with a mischievous look as Jill began talking and I knew she was going to do something stupid. I shook my head at her in an attempt to shut down whatever she had planned and I thought it had worked as she shrugged and leaned back.

Turns out my best friend doesn't like to listen to me. From the corner of my eye I noticed her hand reaching out for Alex. To tap her on the shoulder or something? No. She pinched my girls ass through the open-backed chair. Alex turned to me with a huff and a glare as Kelley stifled a giggle. "It wasn't me", I defended but the blue eyed woman in front of me didn't believe it, making me shove Kelley off her chair. 

After a few minutes I admitted to Kelley it was kind of funny, but I was quick to swat her hand away from my girl's ass when she reached out again. "Sorry", she whispered dramatically.

"You do it", she dared with a challenging look in her eyes. I couldn't help but play into her childish games, I slowly reached out and flicked Alex's ass and then quickly sat back and looked forward with a straight face.

"Y/N quit it", she turned back to warn me in a whisper, before flicking her hair as she turned to the front again. After a few minutes Kelley nudged me to do it again, we both bit back a laugh as I reached out and poked Alex's ass, before quickly leaning back in our seats. 

The blue eyed woman turned around furiously, "That's it, Kelley I'm going to smack you and Y/N I'm having avocado with every meal", she whisper yelled as Kelley let out a loud cackle and then fell off her chair again and Megan looked back at us with amusement.

"Everything okay in that corner?", Jill paused her talk and looked towards us. "All good", I told her with a thumbs up as I dragged Kelley back onto her seat. I noticed our coach bite back a smile before she continued her talk. "Okay it's clear everyone is ready to leave, take care and I'll see you all again soon", she concluded the meeting and everyone started to get up slowly and leave the room. 

Me and Kelley walked along the corridor in fits of laughter as we continued joking around. Suddenly I felt someone pinch my ass and apparently so did Kelley as we both stopped and whined in pain. "That's what you get", Alex laughed from behind us.

"That was way harder", I whined as Alex wrapped her arms around Kelley and I as we continued walking down the hall. 

"Awww want me to kiss it better for you?", she teased with a smile.

"Eww, but also what about me?", Kelley asked.

"I'm sure Hope's not too busy right now", I told her with a smirk as I dodged her outstretched swatting hand.
