《Have Hope》5

Alex POV
I felt so badly for hurting Y/n. And I felt even worse for not immediately apologizing. But honestly, I have never been good at admitting when I was wrong, especially to people who make me want to shoot myself.
I was so frustrated that whole game by the goalie. I couldn't even make a single fucking shot, not to mention her teasing. She's so annoying.
But even still, I did hurt her, and I need to say I'm sorry. I was going to do it on the walk back to the bus, but she and Jill were having a conversation, and I didn't want to interrupt.
That's another thing about Y/n that pisses me off. She's always hanging around our coach like a lost puppy, begging for attention she doesn't deserve. I mean, sure, she made some good saves today, but everyone has good days. It was probably just luck.
I decided to talk to Grant after my shower, and I was thankful we had some time before the meeting, just in case the rookie decided to waste my time by being stupid and difficult.
Another thing that's super weird is like, whenever I see, think of, or talk to Y/n, my heart always beats faster and I have this weird feeling in my stomach. Probably just my boiling hate and anger for her.
If I'm being honest though, I was kind of scared to talk to her. I knew Kelley was with Allie at the moment, so I'd be alone with the keeper. She's hard enough to deal with when people are around, she's probably going to be even worse when it's just us.
My palms got a little sweaty and my heart rate sped up as I approached her room. I knocked on the door, and after a few seconds, it opened.
There stood Y/n, shirtless, wearing a Nike sports bra and black sweat pants that hung low on her hips, displaying her Calvin Klein boxers.
But it wasn't her clothes that made my mouth go dry, it was the sight of her abdomen and arms, which had a gorgeous bronze tan. Veins snaked down her arms and over the tops of her hands, and she had a few tattoos scattered across her body.
She had the most well defined, well structured abs and v-line I had ever seen, making me think of Hope, who shared this same trait. Dare I say though, Y/n probably looked even better than Hope.

"You're staring." The keeper said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked up to her face, which dawned a smug smirk, instantly making me want to punch her.
"Like what you see Princess?" She asked in a teasing tone, crossing her arms and leaning against the doorway. All her muscles seemed to involuntarily flex in that movement, making my knees weak for some reason.
Well now I don't even want to apologize. If she's going to be an arrogant prick.
Still, I couldn't stop the heat from rising to my cheeks. I really needed to pull it together. I think it's just been too long since I've seen Serv. That's why my hormones are tripping out. I don't even like girls anyway.
"Don't call me that." I growled.
Y/n swallowed back a grin. "What do you need?" She asked me, her eyes narrowed.
I forced myself to keep eye contact with her, because otherwise I knew I'd just ogle her. "Can I come in?" I asked her, not really wanting to have this conversation in the hallway where other people could hear us. She shrugged and moved aside so I could enter. I made sure to close the door behind myself, walking over to one of the beds and sat down.
Y/n stayed standing, in the same position as before, with her arms crossed, leaning against the wall.
"I wanted to apologize...for today- for hurting you." She nodded, but didn't say anything. She was not going to make this easy, was she.
I sighed. "It was an accident, and now that I know about you being intersex, I'll do my best to be more careful and aware."
"Thank you. I appreciate that." I nodded and stood.
Y/n opened the door for me and as I was leaving, she said: "Oh, and Princess? You got some drool..." She said with a cheeky grin, motioning to my chin.
I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "Oh shut up." I stalked back down the hallway, Y/n's laugh echoing behind me.
It was only her second day here, and I was already starting to resent her for how she makes me feel; annoyed as fuck.
Y/N POV
Okay, so maybe I did find Alex's apology really sweet, and maybe I do enjoy pissing her off because she gives me attention, and yeah, maybe I am quickly starting to have feelings for her, but it's okay, because she'll never like me back.

If you couldn't tell, that was sarcastic. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but whatever. I'll enjoy the time I get with her. I'm not going to get my hopes up, but I'm also not going to waste time moping over her.
Her reaction to me opening the door was pretty funny. And cute. But she's dating that guy, and she's straight soooooo it doesn't really matter.
I was relieved to know that she doesn't have a problem with who I am, regarding my anatomy, so that's a plus. The rest of the team is super supportive and loving, which is also really cool.
A few minutes later, Kelley came back into our room. "You ready for the meeting newbie?" She asked me, her eyes sparkling. I shrugged and stood, following her out of our room and into the elevator.
The meeting was two hours long, which is wayyyyy past my attention span. I couldn't stop moving in my chair or fidgeting with my hoodie strings, and I could tell it was annoying Alex, who was sitting in the row in front of me.
"Can you stop fucking moving?" She hissed, shooting a glare at me. I stuck my tongue out at her.
"Can you stop being annoying? No. Therefore I cannot stop moving."
I heard her mumble something incoherent before turning back to the front. After the meeting, we all got lunch, and this time, I sat with Tobin, Christen, Ash, and Allie.
"So how are you liking camp so far?" Ali asked me, cutting her chicken.
"Well, other than the fact that Alex hates me, I love it here."
Tobin chuckled. "Yeah, Alex can be a handful." I nodded in agreement.
"So, Y/n, if you don't want to answer this it's okay, but how come you didn't tell us about being intersex?" Christen asked.
I shrugged. "I'm not sure. It's not like I was trying to keep it a secret, you know? I just wasn't really sure how to go about it. But I guess getting hit in the nuts did the trick."
Ash, Tobin, and I busted out laughing at my answer, while their girlfriends just rolled their eyes in faux annoyance.
Feeling someone staring at me, I glanced down the table and saw Alex looking towards my direction. We locked eyes, and I winked at her like I always do when this happens, just to piss her off. She responded by flipping me off before going back to her food.
"She needs to get laid." Ash said, having just seen Alex's reaction. Ali swatted her shoulder. "Ash!"
Ash snickered. "What? It's true. She hasn't been with Servando for what, like two weeks? Girl's hormonal as shit."
I almost spit out my water from laughter. "Oh my god dude, that's hilarious."
"Oh wait yeah, you can't get periods, right Y/n?" The other keeper asked me. I shook my head.
"No, thank god, they sound horrible. You guys are troopers."
"You're telling me bro."
"How long have Alex and Servando been together?" I asked, peeling my orange.
Ash looked to Ali. "What, like two years now? I think?" Her girlfriend nodded.
"Yeah, two years."
"She was head over heels for the guy when they first met." Tobin commented, taking a sip of her water.
"Was?" I asked, puzzled.
"Yeah, they've sort of been having issues lately. I think he's upset that she has to leave for so long out of the year all the time."
I made a face of disgust. "Sounds like a dick. He should be proud and supportive, not some jealous asshole."
"That's what I've told her! She keeps insisting that 'he'll come around' and 'he just misses me'" Tobin said, mimicking her friend.
"You know when they first started dating, he thought Alex and Tobs were having some sort of affair? Because they hang out so much. He was such a dick to both of them for a while, until we finally cleared up that I'm with Tobin, and she and Alex are not together." Christen said, her tone full of annoyance.
This guy sounded terrible. Why would anyone want to date some control freak?
"Yeah, I don't know man. Honestly, I'm just counting down the days until they break up. He doesn't deserve her." Ash said, and I nodded.
No one deserved that treatment.
