Kelley woke up early today.

She was lying down on the side, one white arm under her neck, and the other wrapped around her body. She felt a warm breath caressing her skin, and felt chills all over. She tried to turn around without waking her up. Once she achieved doing that, she just faced the still-asleep girl in front of her, whose mouth was slightly open. Kelley caressed the blonde's arm, not minding to be obvious as she was looking at her naked body without any shame.

Two deep blue eyes opened suddenly, and caught Kelley's. They remained still and silent for a while, letting Allie waking up in her rhythm. When the middy realized what really happened yesterday, she rolled her eyes.

"We're so pathetic" she let out, placing a hand on her face.

That made Kelley giggle.

She knew exactly what Allie meant : they agreed on pausing their relationship, but this new resolution didn't last long. And now, they were reunited for good, and just couldn't resist each other. After the very small party thrown by some of the girls to celebrate the win and also the return of Ash, Carli and Hope, they ended up having sex, and falling asleep in each other's arms. They were lucky to have Sonnett and Tobin as roommates, because they were very supportive of their relationship, and didn't mind switching rooms from time to time, allowing the two love birds to be together.

Kelley smiled, as she was running her fingers through Allie's back.

"Don't you think we should tell the team ?" she asked, concerned.

Allie frowned. "I thought we agreed on going official after the tournament ? Besides, they all already know."

"Mark doesn't"

The blonde sighed, looking away from her girlfriend. Kelley's smile faded immediately, because she didn't get Allie's reaction right now.

"Kels... I love you, but-"

"Uhn ?"

Allie rolled her eyes again. She knew Kelley would react like a children, as she usually did when she felt that the blonde wasn't into the relationship enough. But the middy didn't want to break the things they said at the beginning of this journey.

She sat down on the bed, while Kelley was rolling to be resting on her back.

"It's over in less than two weeks, babe. We have to think about the team before thinking about ourselves"

"Julie and Christen didn't wait that long" Kelley argued. "And they are living it really well."

"They were spotted by paparazzi" Allie reminded her, annoyed by her girlfriend's reaction. "You know it's not about me wanting to be committed or not. It's about the team, and what's best for a cause that is bigger than us. It's only two fucking weeks, we stick to the initial plan. You can tell whoever you want, but not Mark."

Kelley threw her a death glare. "We always do as you want, princess" she hissed.

"Oh, come on. You agreed on this. Where did you love for the team go ?"

"Behind the love I have for you."

The blonde wasn't expecting this answer. She lied down again, allowing Kelley to come into her strong arms again. She then kissed her forehead, and Kelley's hand was caressing her naked legs under the covers.

Allie sighed.

"I've already told you about my feelings. It's two weeks, Kels, not two months."

"I know" Kelley let out, defeated. "I'm sorry for reacting like this. We agreed on keeping this a secret until the whole thing is over."

"Well, we clearly failed from keeping it a secret to our teammates" Allie commented.

They laughed in sync.

The door slammed open, as Sonnett came in. When she saw the intimate position of the two girls - and also that they were naked - she immediately turned around, yelling a loud 'sorry' as she was closing the door and running down the hall. Kelley and Allie exchanged a look, before bursting into laughter.

Kristie was beginning to be worried.

When she woke up, Stephanie still wasn't here. She hasn't bee answering any of her fifteen texts, or answered her phone. And she tried to reach her over ten times. She was really freaking out right now, thinking that maybe they had a problem on the way back from the hospital, or maybe that Alyssa was in a lot more troubles than she seemed to be in the first place. She got up and began to walk back and forth in the room.

Syd, who was her roommate, let a long groan out. She didn't like to be woken up by her worried best friend, but couldn't help but notice how concerned Kristie was.

"I've never seen you like this" Syd commented.

Kristie looked down at her. "Stephanie hasn't come back. I don't know where she is."

"Aw, you really do have feelings after all ?" the dark-haired exclaimed. "I've never thought you'd end up with someone like Hoodrat, though."

The blonde didn't even answer. She just kept on doing her little stressed walk, imagining all the worse. When Sam came into the room, Syd made her a sign not to make any comment, so her sister just sat down on the bed.

Kristie sent another text.

Sam, who read over Kristie's shoulder, smirked.

"Maybe if you just write her something nice for once, she'd maybe answer" she commented.

She knew her sister would just throw her a death glare and then go back to ignoring what she just said. But she also knew Kristie didn't like to care about anyone. Even when it came to Sam - who, by the way, was the only person she really cared about, until Kristie met Stephanie - she didn't like to feel that weird feeling, that feeling that meant she loved someone. And now, she was beginning to feel this for someone else than her sister, and that scared her big time. Sam knew that.

Sam shook her head, while Syd was slowly straightening in her bed.

"Kris, she isn't on her own. The gals are by her side, nothing will happen to her." the dark-haired said, while Sam was energetically nodding her head.

"What if something really happened ? Uhn ?" Kristie asked, totally freaking out. "I hate to say this, but if something happen to her I don't think I will ever recover."

That made the two other girl shut up, while Kristie was dressing up and leaving the room with anger.
