"See ya soon." Mom says then she hangs up.

Once my Mom hangs up all of my aunt's look at me.

"What?" I ask.

"You know we're gonna find out who it is." Alex says.

"So?" I say. "Not like I care."

"Then who was it?"

"Ask yourselves that." I say. "She's standing amongst you right now."

"WHAT?" My aunts yell

"Fuck's sake." I mumble as I rub my aching hears. "Stop fucking yelling.

"Okay let's pause that conversation." Lindsey says. "So you and your Mom know everything about each other?"

"Everything." I confirm.

"So you know about the late night rendezvous?" Alyssa says.

"Yes I know all about everyone's hook ups......And I do mean everyone's" I say and pointedly look at the straight women.

A moment later I get a text from my Mom telling me she's outside so I let the coach's know I'm leaving then I leave and head out to my Mom's rental.

"Hi Mama." I say when I get in the car.

"Hi babygirl." Mom says as we hug. "Ready for some steak?"

"So ready." I say then Mom drives away.

Mom drives to the restaurant and once we're there Mom parks then we head inside the Japanese steakhouse. Once inside I do all of the talking since I'm fluent in Japanese

"Arigato Gozaimasu." I say to the hostess when we're seated.

"That was thank you right?" Mom questions as we look over the menu.

"Yes." I say.

"I have two questions...How much is this?" Mom asks and points to a price.

"10,000 Japanese Yen so about 90 dollars."

"Cool. Now can you help me decided what to get?" Mom asks with a smile.

I chuckle then help Mom decided what she wants to eat. A few minutes later a waitress comes over so I tell her what Mom and I want then she leaves for a few minutes before she returns with our drinks. Once we have our drinks Mom heads to the bathroom.

While Mom is in the bathroom I type some things on my phone then wait for my Mom.

"Mom can I ask you something?" I question as Mom sits down.

"Of course." Mom says so I hand her my phone.

Mom reads my phone then she hands me my phone back and nods.

I listed 9 names then asked my Mom if all the people she slept with we're on the list.

Only 6 are still on the team.

"Did something come up about it?" Mom asks.

"The team wanna know who I slept with back in 2015 so I'm gonna say if they're serious about knowing then all the people that were with you have to admit it to the team."

"Well then." Mom says and chuckles. "When did you realize that I was doing this with one of my teammates?"

"Come on Mom." I say. "What grown women has a 'sleepover' with another woman?"

"Well what was I supposed to say?" Mom questions while chuckling.

"I mean I didn't mind." I say. "I got to have a sleepover with some of my favorite Aunts."

"Why do they wanna know so bad who it was?" Mom questions.

"I don't know." I say.

Mom and I's Kobe beef steaks come a moment later so once they're placed in front of us we dig in and resume talking with more light hearted stuff. Once we've finished eating the big ass steaks Mom pays then we leave the restaurant and Mom drives back to the hotel.

"Well I guess I'll see you at the game?" I question as Mom and I walk into the lobby.

"I'll be on the front row wearing your jersey."

"Cool." I say with a smile then I hug my Mom. "I love you Mom."

"I love you Audrey." Mom says then she kisses my head.

Mom and I hug for a few more seconds then we part ways and I head to the meeting room.

"Audrey can you tell us who it was?" Alex asks as I walk into the room.

"Who what was?" I question.

"Who the person you slept with back in 2015 was." Ash says.

"Why does it matter?" I question. "It was five years ago."

"Because we wanna know." Kelley says.

"The only way I'll tell is if the people who slept with my mom tell the team."

"What? Why?" Kelley asks.

"Because your asking me to do the same thing." I say. "So if you ladies that slept with my Mom tell the team then I'll tell you."

"Well we've got nothing to hide." Ash says as she and Ali stand up.

Mom said both of them wanted to try having a threesome for their anniversary so they asked my Mom and they only did it that one time with my Mom. Mom said they told her they really enjoyed, but they only wanted to do it that one time.

"I don't have anything to hide either." Becky says and stands up. "Alyssa knows so I don't care."

"Well I'm dating Hope so you all know I have." Kelley says.

"I have as well." Carli says and stands up. "Most of you know that though."

"Is that everybody?" I question.

I give the last person time to stand up, but she doesn't.

"Someone didn't stand up so the deals void." I say. "Sorry."

"Oh come on." Kelley groans.

"Would you look at the time." I say. "Almost curfew."

"Dammit." Someone mumbles.

"I'm gonna head to bed." I say then I leave the room.

Once I'm outside of the room I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding while thinking about the last person still on the team Mom has slept with.

Thank you Alex Morgan for not standing up.
