Chapter 6
Ashlyn and Ali sat on the end of Ali’s hotel bed as Tobin, Kelley, and Megan stared them down. Ashlyn stared them straight in the eyes whilst Ali had her eyes trained on her lap, finding more interest in her fingers than the three women watching her. It was quite the situation right now and Ashlyn had to be honest, she is happy that it was these three women that found them and not someone else; at least she knew these girls would stay quiet for them.
“So,” Tobin said, “care to explain yourselves?”
Ashlyn let out a small laugh. “To be honest we don’t really owe you guys any type of explanation. I am pretty sure what you guys saw was explanation enough.”
“Yeah,” Ali said looking up,” if there’s something you want to say, go ahead but we don’t owe you guys an explanation.”
“We know you guys don’t owe us anything.” Megan said with a laugh, pushing Ashlyn lightly. “We just want to know how this all started, we have been rooting for you guys.”
Ashlyn couldn’t help but blush at that moment. She knew her friends would be happy to hear the two girls finally got together but the support overwhelmed her. It was amazing to know that she was surrounded by such great people. Ashlyn reached over and grabbed Ali’s hand, a broad smile spreading across her face. “There’s not really any romantic story for you guys. We just finally found each other and that is that.”
That seemed to be enough for the girls in front of them and they quickly exited the room, mumbling ‘we need more details later’ and ‘have fun alone you two’. When the door finally shut, Ashlyn couldn’t help but smile and fall back on the bed. She saw Ali’s shoulders relax and she took a deep breath before falling back next to her girlfriend. It was actually quite relieving having other people know about their secret little rendezvous.
Ashlyn honestly didn’t care that any other people knew because what really mattered was that her and Ali knew. They were happy together and they hoped it would always be like this. Ashlyn was on cloud nine every time she thought about Ali and it was an amazing feeling. The two girls were like two peas in a pod and whether everyone knew about them or if no one knew about them, it wouldn’t matter to them.
“I’m sorry that happened, Al.” Ashlyn finally mumbled after a few minutes.
“Honestly I was just embarrassed about how they found us.” Ali said with a silly smile. “I don’t care that they found out, it is not the end of the world. I trust them so they won’t go telling everyone.”
“Mm,” Ashlyn said, rolling over and grabbing Ali’s hips, “well now that that is over, how about we continue what we started.”
There was no protest and soon their lips were connected in a heated and passionate kiss. They were in their own world at this point. Lips connected, tongues tangling in a heated battle, teeth nipping on bottom lips. The room suddenly felt stuffy and hot, pushing both of the girls to strip. Ashlyn’s shirt was the first to come off, Ali helped her unbutton it and soon it was by the side of the bed. Ali’s followed in suit, soon clothes pilling next to the bed.
As Ashlyn’s teeth began to nip and suck on Ali’s next, moans began to slip out and fill the empty room. Never did Ashlyn once think she would actually have a chance to be with Ali in this way. She honestly felt like she was in heaven at this moment. But when Ali began to unbuckle her belt and move onto the button of her jeans, the whole moment was lost when a knock came from the door. A groan fell from both of the girl’s lips.
“Team meeting in five minutes, be there or be square.” A voice yelled through the door and it was unmistakably Abby Wambach’s voice. Both girls let out more noises of protest but got off of the bed, gathering their clothes. As Ashlyn buckled her pants and started buttoning her shirt back up, she looked over at Ali and let out a loud laugh. Ali looked over at her questioningly and Ashlyn couldn’t stop her giggle fit.
Ashlyn covered her mouth and pointed at her neck. “Y-you’re going t-to ne-ed a ton of make up to cover that up.”
Ali’s eyes widened and she ran over to the mirror, searching her neck for whatever Ashlyn was talking about. Ashlyn hadn’t been lying; she would actually need a ton of make up to covered up the large purple hickey that was now developing on her neck. She turned to face Ashlyn with fire in her eyes and the blonde girl fell to back onto the bed, her stomach aching with laughter.
“I am so sorry babe; I don’t know what came over me.” Ashlyn said as her giggles finally quieted down. Ali ignored her apology and began to cover her neck with make-up. Soon the two girls were making their way to the team meeting, everyone throwing them a suspicious glance when they walked in. Ashlyn laughed at the half assed make-up job that Ali did on her neck. There was a faint purple hue left on her neck but thankfully no one paid much attention.
Honestly, Ashlyn didn’t pay much attention to the whole team meeting. She couldn’t help but keep her eyes fixed on the girl next to her. She was so infatuated with her and it was so obvious. She couldn’t get over the way Ali’s nose would crinkle when she would smile and how her tongue would stick between her teeth. She couldn’t get over that beautiful laugh she heard constantly. She couldn’t get over the way her eyes would twinkle every time their eyes would meet.
It was kind of crazy how fast Ashlyn had fallen for Ali. She was never the type of girl to catch feelings so quickly. Many of her fans saw her as some kind of womanizer but there were more fans that saw her as Ali’s biggest fan. Ever since the girls first met, Ashlyn knew she was hooked the moment their eyes met. She never believed in love at first sight but when Alexandra Blaire Krieger crossed her path for the first time, her beliefs changed.
At that moment Ali became Ashlyn’s stars, moon and sun. She was her night and day and she would follow her anywhere. Ashlyn didn’t care if Ali felt the same way at the moment; she had a feeling that eventually she would feel the same way. No matter what anyone would say, those two girls were meant for each other. Ashlyn’s heart beat for Ali Krieger and she would be damned if she ever lost her.
“Ashlyn Harris…are you even paying attention?” Abby Wambach asked and Ashlyn’s cheeks heated up.
“Um…” Was all Ashlyn could say and now it was Ali’s turn to laugh at her girlfriend. “Oops.”
