Alex, Christen, and myself are flying out together to Portugal from LAX. Alex is on my left and Christen is on my right. I'm working on a project for my business and the two girls have their heads on my shoulders and are looking at the screen.

"Cairo?" Alex asks.

"Yes?"

"I'm confused on what you do with your company."

"Same." Christen says.

"Okay well this is one of the fields we are replacing in Romania." I say while pointing to the 3-D image on the screen.

"How many are you replacing." Christen asks.

"The Romanian FA told us 85"

"That seems like a lot."

"The Swiss FA had us replace 110."

"So how do you go about everything?" Alex asks.

"Well the client will contact us and tell us what they want from us. We then go and take pictures of the fields that the client want us to change and take soil samples of the area surrounding each field. Once we have the pictures they are uploaded into a 3-D program like what you're looking at. We then research what grass would best thrive in the climate of the client. We then have to order supplies and hire trusted workers who know how we work. They remove the turf field and the concrete. Then they level out the hole left from the turf field. Next we plant the grass and let it take root before we let anyone on it. Finally we give the client instructions on proper care of the field and we do that process for however many times we need to until everything is finished."

"Do you fly out to see whatever it is you have to replace?" Christen asks.

"No. Since I started it when I was in Europe I have people over there who go and view and oversee everything."

"I'd be scared to be that far away from my company."

"Well since I have final say on everything and I'm the only one who has access to the accounts nobody fucks me over."

"Does this process cost the client a lot of money?" Alex asks.

"Yeah. The Swiss job I believe we were paid 40 million."

"Holy fuck. Not that it's any of my business, but how much did you pocket?"

"Five million. 25 million went to the construction workers, company employees, and supplies. The last ten went to charity and a fund for the workers in case something happens to them or their families."

"Have you ever had to use it?"

"Yeah. Do you remember that phone call I had when we were eating breakfast at my house?" They nod. " Well that was my number 2 in Italy and she has a son who was injured very badly and our old insurance wouldn't cover the cost of his medical bills so she came to me and asked what to do and so I told her to bring me the bill when her son is all better and she did and I took care of it." I say. We talk for a little while longer until Alex and Christen fall asleep.

Turns out both Alex and Christen are clingy when they sleep. The whole time they slept their heads never moved from my shoulders and they both wrapped their arms around my arm that was closest to them.

When we landed in Lisbon the three of us got our bags then headed to the hotel. Once at the hotel the three of us walk up to the font desk to get our keys.

"Olá, como posso ajudá-lo?" The front desk lady says and I just look at her weirdly since I can't understand her.(Hi how can I help you?)

"Lo siento, no puedo entender portugués. ¿Sabes español?" I say. (Sorry I can't understand Portuguese. Do you know Spanish?)

"Sí."(Yes.)

"Increíble. Estamos con el equipo nacional de los Estados Unidos de la mujer y nos dijeron que para recoger nuestras llaves de la habitación aquí."(Awesome. We are with the United States Women's National team and we were told to pick up our room keys here.)

"Sí. Sus nombres por favor."(Yes. Your names please.)

"Christen Press, Alex Morgan, and Cairo." The lady checks a sheet and then grabs two sets of keys so I can tell two of us will be roommates.

"Todo el mundo está en el piso 14. La Sra. Press está en la habitación 1432. Sra. Morgan y la Sra. Cairo se encuentra en 1424" (Everyone is on floor 14. Ms. Press you are in room 1432. Ms. Morgan and Ms. Cairo you are in 1424 )

"Gracias." I say and take the keys. (Thank You.)

"De nada. Si necesitas algo, háganoslo saber." (You're welcome. If you need anything let us know.)

I nod and we walk to the elevators.

"Why do I find foreign languages so sexy?" Alex says as we get on the elevator and I press fourteen.

"Maybe you find the mystery of not knowing what is being said sexy or they way some words roll off the tongue." I say

"Maybe so what did she say?"

"Well as you can see we are all on the fourteenth floor. Christen you are in room 1432." I say and give her the keys to her room. "Alex you and I are rooming together in 1424." I give Alex her keys too.

"Did she say who my roommate is?" Christen asks as we step off the elevator and walk towards our room.

"No, but I did see who it is on the sheet she had."

"Who?"

"I'll give you one guess."

"Tobin?" She says and her eyes sparkle.

"You two keep it down Christen." I say and she smiles then runs to her room like a giddy school girl.

"Ahh young love." Alex says.

"They grow up so fast." I say and wipe a fake tear.

Alex and I go into our room and put our stuff away then relax until we have a team meeting. The meeting consists of the camp schedule and what we will be doing at each training session. Once the meeting was over we were released for the day so the team went out for dinner then came back and slept off the jet lag.
