"Have you ever played here?" Mal asks as the team is in the locker room before the Spain game.

"No. There isn't a team in Alicante." I say.

"Are you friends with any of the Spanish players?" Rose asks.

"I'm friends with a few of them yes."

Jill made 3 changes from the France game with Julie, Pinoe, and Tobin coming back into the side. Once the pregame talks were done we headed out onto the field for the anthems. After the anthems were played we walked down the line and shook hands with the Spanish players. At the end of the line was an old teammate who hated me and when I got to her I put both of my hands behind my back and walked right past her. I then made my way to my position and waited for the game to start.

In the 3rd minute Tobin had the ball on the right and passed it to Alex in the box, but she was closed down by three defenders so she one touched the ball to me and I hit it towards goal and it was deflected for a corner. The ensuing corner didn't amount to anything unfortunately.

After that fast start the game slowed down and nothing happened, but in the 35th minute we got a throw in and I ran to make myself open. Sonnett threw the ball at me and right before it got to me I received a boot to the back.

"Fuck that hurt." I say when Julie helps me up. "Who was that?"

"The girl who's hand you didn't shake." She says.

"Of course it was."

After I got up I saw my old teammate getting a yellow. She then looked over at me and winked making me roll my eyes and get on with the game. The rest of the half was pretty boring with no real chances for either team.

In the 54th minute I passed a ball to Christen in our own half and she took off and ran all the way to the six yard box then shot at goal and it was going in anyways, but a Spanish defender redirected into the goal so I don't know if it was an own goal or not.

This whole game I've noticed my old teammate following me around and it's pissing me off.

"¿Qué deseas?" I ask my former teammate and professional hoe, who is following me around, while trying to find space to receive a pass. The only reason she had friends on the team is because she would sleep with anyone who asked.(What do you want?)

"¿No puedo decir hola a mi amiga?" She says. (Can I not say hi to my friend?)

"Nunca fuimos amigas. No eras más que un desperdicio de espacio y talento en mi equipo."(We were never friends. You were just a waste of space and talent on my team.)

"Usted tiene un montón de nervios diciendo eso. Que eras una perra para mí y no hizo nada para ti." I know what this is about. (You have a lot of nerve saying that. You were a bitch to me and I did nothing to you.)

"¿Todavía estás loco porque no voy a tener relaciones sexuales con usted?" I say while laughing.(Are you still mad because I won't have sex with you?)

Her eyes darken and she ball her fists. "Es una pena que el tipo no te mató cuando tuvo la oportunidad."(It's a shame that guy didn't kill you when he had the chance.)

Now you've gone too far bitch. I forget there is a game happening and walk over to her and get right in her face.

"Usted no se llega a mencionar eso. Sólo porque eres una puta que tiene que tener relaciones sexuales sólo para usted a no ser una perra. Ha intentado matarme sólo porque no te lo permitiría en mis pantalones. Es una pena que se preocupan más por tener relaciones sexuales que jugar al fútbol. Que podría haber sido un gran jugador. Ahora usted es sólo la puta equipo." (You don't get to bring that up. Just because you're a whore who has to have sex just for you to not be a bitch. You tried to kill me just because I wouldn't let you into my pants. It's a shame you care more about having sex than playing football. You could have been a great player. Now you are just the team whore.)

"Es mejor ir lejos." She seethes.(You better go away.)

"¿Por qué? Ah sí toco una niña nerviosa?" (Why? Oh did I touch a nerve little girl?)

"Sólo tiene que esperar hasta después del partido cuando no tiene su grupo de prostitutas alrededor para protegerle. Voy a golpear a la mierda de ustedes a continuación, hacer que su novia mi perra."(Just wait until after the game when you don't have your group of whores around to protect you. I'll beat the shit out of you then make your girlfriend my bitch.)

OH NOW I'M REALLY GOING TO FUCK YOU UP.

"Hija de una prostituta." I say then rush at her only to be stopped by Christen. (Daughter of a prostitute.)

"Cairo stop." She says with her arms wrapped around me. The referee comes over and pulls out both of her cards. She shows my old teammate a second yellow and a red and I get shown a yellow. As she is walking off she looks at Lindsey and winks causing me to slip out of Christen's grasp and sprint over to her and stop her from walking off.

"¿Tiene un deseo de muerte? Tienes suerte hay cámaras aquí de lo contrario que usted necesitaría cirugía plástica sólo para reorganizar su cara después de que me termine contigo." I say and the Spanish captain, Becky, and Ash sprint over to us. (Do you have a death wish? You are so lucky there are cameras here otherwise you'd need plastic surgery just to rearrange your face after I got finished with you.)

Ash comes behind me and wraps her arms around me and Becky stands in front of me. "Cairo that's enough. You need to calm down." Becky says as I breathe heavily.

My old teammate is then escorted off by her captain and is getting the scolding of a life time. I'm actually decent friends with the Spanish captain and she knows all of what went on between the two of us. Most of the Spain team know as well. Once my old teammate reaches the touch line the police meet her there and escort her to the Spain dressing room.

My number is flashed on the board along with Moe's number. Thank fuck for that. I walk over and brush past Moe and walk down the tunnel to the locker room to let out my frustrations. As I'm walking I notice the water bottles just sitting there so I kick them sending water everywhere and keep walking to the dressing room.

Once inside the locker room I go to my locker and strip out of my kit and lean back in my locker and try to relax for the last 25 minutes of the game. After the game is over everyone comes in and nobody says anything about what happened. Everyone listened to the post game comments from Jill and then the coaching staff left the room.

Once the coaching staff left the room nobody moved. I can feel everyones eyes burning holes in my head. Lindsey gets out of her seat and comes over and sits on my lap making me subconsciously wrap my arms around her.

"Are you okay?" She asks and everyone looks at me.

"I'm better now."

"Who was that?" Alex asks.

"She was an old teammate who has held a grudge against me just because I wouldn't have sex with her."

"For the sake of understanding...why wouldn't you have sex with her?" Kelley asks.

"She slept with most of the girls on the team and I don't want an STD. She found out I hadn't gotten laid in awhile so she made it her mission to sleep with me for some reason."

"Fuck it I'll ask. When was the last time you got laid?" Pinoe asks.

"Umm well during the time when she wanted to sleep with me it had been four years."

"Damn...and how about right now?"

"Year and a half."

"Okay I admit that could annoy me, but not enough for me to almost strangle her so what did she say to you?" Christen asks.

"She called you girls whores. Then she said she was going to make Lindsey her bitch. I'm sorry I got in the way of the game, but I would do it again in a heartbeat."

"It's okay Cairo. We know you only get upset when someone or something affects people that mean a lot to you." Becky says.

"Yeah...How bout I take everyone to dinner as a sorry for putting my self above the team." I say.

"Shit I'm not turning down free food." Kling says and everyone laughs then we all change and head to the bus.

On the way to the bus I was stopped by the Spain captain, Marta Torrejón, and she hugged me earning glares from most of the team.

"Hola Cairo. Lo sentimos por ella." She says. (Hi Cairo. Sorry about her.)

"Hola Marta. Está bien. No debería haber dejado que se interponga en mi cabeza así."I say(Hi Marta. It's okay. I shouldn't have let her get in my head like that.)

"Por lo que vale la pena es probable que nunca se ve de nuevo. Su club está enojado con ella porque apenas aparece para entrenar y todos en el equipo nacional oído lo que ha dicho a usted para que el cuerpo técnico es muy molesto."(For what it's worth you'll probably never see her again. Her club is pissed at her because she barely shows up to train and everyone on the national team heard what she said to you so the coaching staff is very pissed.)

I just nod and see Marta look behind me. "Algunos de sus compañeros de equipo son muy intimidante, mientras que otros parecen cachorros pidiendo comida." (Some of your teammates are very intimidating while others look like puppies begging for food.)

I laugh and look back to see the team still glaring at Marta. "Easy girls. Marta's a friend from my time here." I say and they stop glaring, but still stand behind us. I turn back to face my friend."Así que era agradable ver a usted. Esperemos que voy a verte este verano."(Well it was nice seeing you. Hopefully I will see you this summer.)

"Ojalá. Adiós Cairo."(Hopefully. Goodbye Cairo)

"Adiós Marta." I say then walk with the girls to the bus. Once on the bus I sit with Lindsey who puts her head on my shoulder and intertwines our hands. We stay like this until we get back to the hotel.

Once at the hotel we change then do recovery for a while. After recovery the team goes to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Once we get back from eating everyone packs up their stuff then heads to bed hoping to get a few hours of sleep before the flights in the morning.
