What I didn't even know about myself
Ali stayed home for the next 3 days, it gave her the opportunity to learn more about Ashlyn and how on earth her job was enabling her to just spend 3 days home with her. She's a soccer player. But it's the offseason, so she has a lot of time for herself. Ali knew she was working in sports, but she never really asked and just supposed Ashlyn was a personal coach or something. She also learnt that the blond never tells what she does because she doesn't want people to use her and be interested to spend time with her just for her money.
Well with Ali, she can be safe. Ali isn't into sports at all, and even if she knows a few things about soccer it was a long time ago when she was in college, plus she's not after Ashlyn's money at all because she earns more than enough to take care of herself.
During the last night off she has, she is cuddling with the blond on the sofa, almost asleep as she keeps massaging her scalp she's interrupted by her doorbell. Who can be disturbing them at that time? She immediately thinks of her father but thinks better of it when she knows that he already begged her to agree to come back to work. He wouldn't take the risk to invade her privacy and making her change her mind.
"I can get the door if you want" Ashlyn offers to the very sleepy brunette
"Humm yeah thank you babe" Ali answers with a very groggy voice
Ashlyn leaves Ali on the sofa, and walks a little bit faster when the doorbell rings again. She opens the door and comes face to face with a handsome guy.
"Hi, can I help you?" Ashlyn asks
"Hummmm well you must be the hottie my sister has been banging!!! No wonder why she's crashing and burning with our dad!!! you're just too hot and all these tattoos!!" the man says
"I m sorry, do I know you?" Ashlyn asks not sure to follow
"Who is it babe?" Ali asks coming from the living room when she heard voices
"KYLEEEEEE!!!!! Hi!!! What are you doing here??? I m so happy to see you!!!" Ali runs and hugs tightly the man
"I m happy to see you too Alex!!" Kyle answers
"Ash, this is my brother Kyle. If you thought I was a queen, you're about to meet the biggest queen of us all. Kyle this is my girlfriend Ashlyn." Ali says
"Ohhhhhh giiiiiiiirl, I know who she is. Everyone knows who she is!!! Well, everyone following women soccer knows!!!"
"Yeah everyone but me then" Ali says
"So tell me, what are you doing here?" Ali asks
"Well, dad called mom saying you were impossible, very hard to handle and he didn't recognize you lately, said you didn't give a shit about the senator case and all you cared about was being at your place to "relax" all of a sudden. So mum offered to fly here and see what was the matter with you, and if you were very tired. I figured it was better if I showed up unannounced than mum!!!"
"Oh dear god yes....I can't even imagine if Ash had opened the door to Deb!"
"Hum why?" Ash asked shyly
"Well, our parents are very nice people, but they are very narrow minded. They still think I m in phase for fuck sake, and I've been out and proud for 15 years. But Alex is the little princess, and even tho you're not her first rodeo, they never really knew about her liking for girls!" Kyle says with a smirk
"Well, hopefully they don't find out by showing up here by surprise at a bad time" Ali says with a chuckle
"Ohhhhh like your father that first morning!!!!" Ash adds laughing
"I want to hear everything about this story" Kyle says
"Okay Okay, come inside. How long are you here for?"
"5 days"
"That's so great!! but I m going back to work tomorrow, you should have told me!! I would have taken more time off" Ali says with a frown
"Oh no sis!! You need to put the old man out of his misery before he murders one of your intern. I swear he is about to loose it." Kyle laughs
"I know!!! He called me 30 times, I was about to throw my phone by the window!! Ask Ash!!!"
"I believe you!! You tend to get a little crazy at times!!!" Kyle laughs "Well girlies, this flight really wore me out!! See you tomorrow morning!!"
"Yeah just pretend you live here and go lay down without asking anyone!!!!!" Ali laughs at her brother antics
"Well Ash, that was my brother!! very unexpected but always a pleasure. I should warn you that he is a lot to handle. So if you wanna stay here during the next few days you may have to deal with him and he can be a real pain in the ass. It's up to you, but you're more than welcome to stay if you want to. I love coming home to you." Ali says sweetly ending her sentence with a soft kiss.
"No problem for me babe. I'll be happy to get to know him better, he sure seems like a funny guy."
"Babe? It's new..I like it."
"You said it first when you were half asleep... But I don't mind I love it."
"Come on BABE, let's go to bed, some of us have an hysterical father and boss they need to be ready for tomorrow."
"After you..."
The following morning, Ali wakes up before her alarm and silences it before it wakes up Ashlyn. She gets into the shower and is very surprised to find the bed empty when she comes back to the bedroom to get dressed. She chooses her outfit for the day and casually makes her way downstairs where she finds Ashlyn cooking her breakfast in the kitchen in a sport bra and gray sweatpants.
"Well you're a vision Miss Harris... Clearly doesn't make me wanna go to work..." Ali says as she gets closer and kisses the blond deeply. "And this smells very good babe. What are you cooking?"
"Waffles, eggs, bacon and coffee for the queen. I didn't want you to go back to work with an empty stomach... I hope it's okay.."
"You, Ashlyn Harris, are way too good to me. It looks delicious thanks babe."
They eat together, and laugh, until it's time for Ali to leave. She puts on make up, brushes her teeth, and straightens her hair and she's ready to go.
"Okay, I gotta go I m gonna be late. Bye babe, I can't wait to see you tonight.. Have fun with Kyle and text me." Ali says and kisses Ashlyn softly. The blonde tries to deepen it, but Ali laughs and pulls away "We don't have time for that, and you're gonna ruin my lipstick!!!!"
"See you tonight babe, I know you're gonna kill it, you're the best."
When Ali leaves the house, she is feeling happy. She starts her car, and puts some music. She's in a very happy mood, so she sings along. She doesn't notice that the black BMW who was taking photos of her and Ashlyn three days ago, is now behind her following her. And inside the car, the same guy she bumped into when leaving work a few days ago. But as she sings along the lyrics of "Someone to you" by Banners, she doesn't notice anything and keeps driving to work.
