《Seeing Double》3
Advertisement
Apparently team bonding night is in Mal and I's room.
Great.
"Alright so first thing we are doing is getting to know the newbie." Pinoe says and everyone looks at me.
"Okay."
"Who do you play for?" Tobin asks.
"I have played for Wolfsburg since 2008." I say.
"Wait you've played in the Champions League?" Carli asks.
"I have. I won it twice with Wolfsburg."
"Would you ever want to come back to America?" Christen asks.
"Maybe. My contract runs out in a month so I don't have a club anymore so I may retire."
"So you know German?" Kling asks.
"I do. I mean I'd hope so I've spent eleven years in Germany."
"Why haven't you been called up before?" Sam asks.
"I have been, but I rejected every call." I say and everyone looks to me like I'm an idiot
"Why?" Becky asks.
I look at Kelley and she subtly nods.
"Okay so as you know I'm Kelley's twin..."
"Yeah you just took all the height." Ash says.
"It was nice to have growing up since we were inseparable and it made it easier to cuddle...but anyway as Kelley's twin, through no fault of her own, I lived in her shadow. And during college I had something very traumatic happen to me and I left America and I've had a lot of healing to do and I'm almost healed."
"Still didn't have to leave." Kelley mumbles.
"Kelloggs I have never missed a game I could get to." I say.
"Wait Kelloggs?" Alex asks.
"Kelley was always hyper as a kid and she always ate cereal so I started calling her Kelloggs."
"Yeah and if anyone else calls me that I will punch you in the throat." Kelley says in all seriousness, but everyone else laughs.
"She's not kidding." Christen says and everyone stops laughing. "Astrid's college boyfriend called Kelley that and she throat punched him."
"He was also a prick." Kelley says.
"Yes he was...But Kelley I have seen all of your games in Europe, I went to every game in 2011 when you played in your first World Cup, I went to every game in Canada when you won the World Cup, I was at every game in London and Rio when you played in the Olympics and I always go to your games in the summer. "
"W-what?....Y-You saw?" Kelley asks.
"I saw everything Kels. I saw you win Gold in London and I saw you win the World Cup in Canada. You have no idea how proud I was of you when you scored against Germany. I'm surprised you didn't hear me screaming my head off."
"Oh my god." Kelley whispers then tackles me to the bed in a hug.
"Alright Kelloggs get off." I say then Kelley get's off and goes and sits back down.
"So are you straight?" Allie asks.
"No I'm gay. The guy who Kelley punched was a dude who was a fake boyfriend so people wouldn't find out I was gay."
"What do you do during your offseason in Germany?" Rose asks.
"I work for an aerospace company designing airplanes." I say and a couple of girls' jaw's drop.
"Yeah. She's that smart." Christen says.
"How were you able to go to the olympics? Didn't you have club games?" Abby asks.
"Our season hadn't started yet so I was able to go to both...speaking of the Olympics, Kelley you know I ran into some of your teammates in both London and Rio."

"Who?"
"Well in London I ran into Abby, Christie, and Shannon and they were very confused then in Rio I ran into Hope and Carli..."
"Wait I remember that." Carli says. "I was confused as fuck."
"Yeah you even asked if I knew Kelley."
"And then you started speaking German so I dropped it."
"Hope was trying not to laugh."
"You've met Hope?" Mal asks.
"Yeah in Canada her and I went to dinner because she wanted to meet her girlfriends twin then we've met up a couple other times after that."
"How long did you stay at each Olympics?" Lindsey asks.
"I stayed for the whole two weeks at both and both were very eventful."
"What do you mean?" Christen asks.
"Let's just say I was still in the healing process at both games."
"You nasty." Kelley says.
"I'm confused." Mal says and everyone else nods.
"Astrid was hoe." Kelley says then I smack her in the head. "Bitch."
"I was not a hoe alright. I just indulged is all."
"Mhmm... How many did you sleep with?" Kelley asks.
"4 in London and 5 in Rio."
"Damn you're an open book." Emily says.
"With somethings. This stuff I don't care talking about since it's in my past and I'm no longer a fuckgirl. Some stuff I'll talk to Christen and Kelley about then there are things not even Kelley knows about."
"Do you know who you got with?" Someone asks.
"Yeah. I may have been a fuckgirl, but I wasn't an asshole."
"Alright I wanna know." Kelley says. "Who in London?"
"Kaylyn Kyle who's a Canadian soccer player, Christine Merrill who's a Sri Lankan Hurdler, Genevieve LaCaze who's an Australian that competed in the steeplechase, and a Hungarian swimmer named Zsuzsanna Jakabos
"You slept with a Canadian?" Kelley asks.
"I didn't know she was a Canadian. I mean it's not like we had sex in her room."
"Still. The nerve of you."
"If you think that's bad then you won't like who I got with in Rio."
"Astrid." Christen says.
"Fine...Michelle Jenneke who is an Australian hurdler, a Russian long jumper named Darya Klishina, a dutch field hockey player named Ellen Hoog, a Danish swimmer named Pernille Blume...and I don't want to say the last one."
"Astrid." Kelley says and raises her eyebrows at me
"She plays in the NWSL and some of you are teammates with her right now."
"Oh shit." Kling says.
"Which team?" Pinoe asks.
"At the time an east coast team."
"Was it an American?" Julie asks.
"No."
"Swedish?" Alex asks.
"Fuck no."
"Canadian?" Emily asks.
"Maybe."
"You really have a thing for Canadian soccer players." Kelley says.
"Ehh I'm more into a different soccer player at the moment...and no I'm not telling you who that is."
"You suck." Pinoe says. "So which Canadian was it?"
I then mumble the answer.
"What was that?" Kelley asks.
"Shelina Zadorsky."
"WHAT." The three Orlando players yell.
"Don't tell her you know. She seems happy with that dude."
"How did that even happen?" Ali asks.
*Flashback*
Well it's my last night in Rio so I might as well go out with a bang
"Please stop." A voice behind me says.
I turn around towards the voice and see a woman with encapsulating eyes.

Seeing she needs help I walk over to her then sit in-between the woman and the man.
"Sorry I'm late babe. I couldn't find my wallet." I say and keep my eyes on the green-eyed woman.
"Uh excuse me we were talking." The guy says.
"That's nice."
"HEY." The guy yells.
"Baby I'm not really feeling this place. Why don't we get outta here. I wanna go somewhere we can dance." I say and hold my hand out to the woman.
"I'd love to." The girl says and takes my hand.
The two of us leave the bar and walk down Copacabana Beach.
"Thank you for that."
"Of course." I say. "You looked a bit uncomfortable."
"I was...anyway I can repay you?"
"Depends."
"On?"
"Do you have plans the rest of the night?" I ask.
"I don't."
"Would you like to join me for dinner?"
"If you tell me your name."
"Astrid."
"Shelina."
"So dinner Shelina?" I ask.
"Lead the way." Shelina says.
Shelina and I head to a restaurant and sit down to eat. The whole time we're eating I listen to her talk while staring at her gorgeous eyes.
"Something on your mind Astrid?"
"Just thinking what I'd do if I had one wish." I say
"And what would that be?" Shelina asks with a smile.
"I wish to be lost in those hazel green eyes of yours. To unfold the mysteries hid behind; And to hear the stories, unspoken. To unfurl the truth that's hidden; And to explore the real and mysterious you." I say and her jaw slightly drops.
"Flattery will get you everywhere Astrid."
*End of Flashback*
"And well we ended up back in my room."
"Nice pick up line." Kelley says.
"Yeah...I know I sound like a hoe and I was at the time, but I'm not anymore. I was hurting at the time and I distracted myself with sex. I'm no longer like that."
"Alright truth or dare time." Pinoe says thankfully moving the conversation swiftly to the next topic. "Who's first?"
"ME." Kling yells.
"Alright Kling shit." Ash says.
"Ash truth or dare?" Kling asks.
"Dare."
"I dare you to put ice cubes in your pants and leave them there until they melt.
"Fine." Ash groans.
Ash gets up and puts four ice cubes in her pants and we all wait for them to melt.
"That shit's cold...Astrid truth or dare?" Ash asks
"Truth."
"What's the most embarrassing story you have of Kelley."
"All her embarrassing stories are about her and Hope."
"Like?"
"Their sex life...she tells me everything for some reason"
"So what story is embarrassing?" Alex asks.
"Kelloggs?" I say and look at my twin
"I'm not embarrassed. You can say it."
"Oh you're not embarrassed to admit that you and Hope once had sex for so long that you woke up the next morning with her fingers still inside you."
"Oh my god." Alex says in between laughs as everyone dies of laughter.
"Don't laugh too hard Alex. Christen talks to me about you two's sex life also."
"Chris." Alex whines
"Oh I gotta hear this." Kling says.
"Let's just say Christen's last birthday was eventful." I say making Christen's eyes widen.
"How did you hear about that?" Christen asks.
"You lost that bet"
"Oh yeah...sorry Babe." Christen says then pecks Alex's lips.
I tune out again after that until Kelley is called on.
"Kelley truth or dare?" Carli asks.
"Dare."
"I dare you to tell everyone the story of how you and Hope got together."
"I don't think any of us know that story." Ash says.
I do.
"Okay So it started before we left for London in 2012...." Kelley says.
*Flashback*
"Hey Hopey." I say when she comes into our room.
"Hey Kels."
"What are you doing for the rest of our off day?"
"Probably read a book."
"Wanna go with me to the mall?" I ask and Hope sighs
"Kelley..."
"Please Hope." I say and give her my best puppy dog eyes.
"Sure Kels."
The two of us get our stuff then head to a rental car and go to the mall. Once at the mall we walk around until I see a particular.
"Hope look they have a Build-A-Bear." I say.
"I can see that."
"Come on." I say then start dragging her towards the store.
"Kelley we are not going in there." Hope says and stops us just outside of the store
"Please Hopey."
"Kels no."
"Come on Hope they have a husky. Please can you make me a husky?"
"You owe me." Hope says then walks us into the store.
The two of us then walk into the store and pick out a husky then walk to the stuffing machine.
"Alright would you like it soft and squishy or firm?" The worker asks.
"Soft and squishy...Like Hope." I say only to receive a glare from Hope.
The worker nods then I step on the pedal and fill up the husky.
"And now for the heart." The worker says and holds out the heart.
"Your turn Hope...ooh they have soccer clothing." I say and start to walk away.
"Wait Kelley No." Hope says, but it's too late.
As I'm looking at the clothes I look up and see Hope kiss the heart.
Aww.
After Hope is done she brings over the husky to me.
"What did you pick out Kelley?" Hope asks.
"They have your jersey." I say and show her the outfit with the black goalie jersey with the number 1 and Solo on the back.
"Alright." Hope says with a smile. "What else do we have to do?"
"We gotta name her." I say and drag her to the computers.
"So what are you going to name her?" Hope asks.
"Mrs. Snuggles." I say. " And for who she belongs to I'll put Hope and Kelley...and we're done."
"Alright you put Mrs. Snuggles in her clothes and I'll go pay."
Hope does just that and returns with a house shaped box as I finish putting on the clothes. I put Mrs. Snuggles in the box along with the birth certificate and then I close the box.
"Thanks Hope." I say as we exit the store.
"No problem Kelley."
"I think I know a way to make this up to you."
"Oh and how's that?"
"Wanna go help me try on stuff from Victoria Secret?" I ask with a smirk.
"I-I mean i-if you want we can." Hope stutters.
"Cool."
I then interlock our arms and walk us to the Victoria Secret store then walk us past the store.
"Uh Kelley we missed the store." Hope says.
"I know, but I have a better idea." I say then lead Hope into a book store. "I saw you finished your book today so for part one of me paying you back go choose a couple books."
"Really Kels?" Hope asks with a smile.
"Yep. Now move that cute butt." I say and pat her butt.
"Watch it Kels." Hope says playfully.
Hope then goes to look for some books while I look at some magazines for a bit until she returns. I pay for her 3 books then we head back to the hotel and go to dinner. After dinner the two of us go back to our room and lay in bed.
When we room together we only use one bed because I like to cuddle and Hope can't say no to me.
"And now for part two of me paying you back." I say and grab my laptop. "We are having a movie night and I'll be quiet the whole movie."
Hope nods then chooses the movie. While the movie is playing I stare up at Hope and admire her beautiful face.
"Need something Kelley?" Hope whispers and I nod. "What do you need?"
I close the laptop and sit it off to the side then straddle Hope.
"You." I say then softly kiss her.
The kiss turns heated and we make out for a while until air becomes an issue.
"I'm taking you on a date tomorrow." Hope says.
"Can't wait." I say then smash my lips back on Hopey's
*End of Flashback*
"And that's how Hope and I started dating." Kelley says.
"So that's where that stuffed animal came from." Alex says.
"Yeah...I take it everywhere when we're apart."
"Cute." Mal says.
