《Seeing Double》14

"Happy birthday Toby."
"Thank you." Tobin says and kisses me.
We kiss for a very long time until air becomes an issue then Tobin lays her head on my chest so I wrap my arms around my girl.
"Ahh." Tobin says and lets out a happy sigh. "This is nice."
"It is." I say and kiss Tobin's head. "I wish we didn't have training today. I want to just stay here."
"Me-"
Tobin gets cut off by banging on the door.
"Shh." I whisper. "If we don't make any noise they'll go away."
"WE HAVE A KEY." Kelley shouts.
"Let's prank them." Tobin says. "Act asleep."
Both of us shut our eyes as the door opens.
"HAPPY..." Multiple people say, but I guess they believe we are asleep.
"Twin." Kelley says and shakes my shoulder. "Twin....Twin."
Under the covers I squeeze Tobin's hand three times.
"AHHHH." Tobin and I scream.
"AHHHHHHH." Everyone screams and Kelley falls back onto the other bed.
"Dicks." Christen says then jumps onto me and Tobin.
"Jerks." Alex says and joins her girlfriend in jumping on us.
The rest of the girls follow suit and soon Tobin and I are at the bottom of the dog pile.
"get off get off get off get off get off get off get off get off get off get off." I mumble into the pillow.
"Can't breathe." Tobin somehow says.
Everyone scrambles off of us and finally we can breathe.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY."
"Thanks...What are we doing today?" Tobin asks.
"We're training at Tottenham's training facility then I think were going to an Alpaca farm." Carli says.
"Alpaca farm? That's a thing?" Kelley asks.
"Apparently."
"All right everyone." Tobin says. "We need to change so get out."
The team all file out of our room so Tobin and I get changed then head down to the meal room to eat and have a small birthday celebration for Tobin. After we've eaten we walk from the lodge part of the training facility down to the training pitches and watch as Tottenham finish their last training session before they head to Madrid.

Once they finished the players came and said hello then we took pictures for social media. After that was done we warmed up then the keepers went off and did our own stuff until we were called for finishing training.
I was first in net and the first shooter was Allie. She dribble up a little bit then fired the ball straight at my head causing me to move out of the way so I won't get a concussion.
"What the fuck is your problem?"
"You." Allie says then she jogs away.
I quickly grab the ball from the net then drop kick it and send it just over Allie's head.
"Fucking watch it." Allie says through gritted teeth.
Allie then walks towards me so I walk towards her and we meet around 30 yards from goal
"ENOUGH." Kelley yells as the team surround us.
"If I wanted to hit you then you'd have a fucking concussion right now." I say.
"Okay." Allie sarcastically says.
I grab a ball off the ground then move out of the group circle.
"Right crossbar joint." I say.
I then drop the ball and put my foot through it. The ball flies through the air then hits the spot where the crossbar meets the right post.
"Told you." I say.
"What is the problem here?" Jill asks and looks between Allie and myself.
"Are you two still not over this?" Carli asks.
"I am, but apparently Allie isn't." I say.
"Come on." Tobin says then grabs my arm and walks us away from the group.
"Am I doing something wrong?"
"No Astrid."
"Then why can't she let it go. I mean she didn't say shit about Ash and Ali keeping their relationship a secret."
"I don't know baby." Tobin admits.
"You can tell her why." I say.
"Are you sure?"
"If it'll get her off my ass then yes."
"Alright." Tobin says.
The two of us then walk back to the group and when we get to the group Tobin pulls Allie away.

"You alright?" Kelley asks.
"I thought all of you could put the pieces together of why we aren't public. With everything that happened in college, the stuff that happened in Germany, and with it being a new relationship I'd rather us be happy and have only family and friends know rather than us be unhappy and have the whole world knowing Tobin's my girlfriend."
"Not everyone know's what exactly happened Astrid."
"And they don't need too." I say. "Everyone has secrets they don't wish to share. There's things I won't ever tell Kelley."
"We understand that." Christen says.
"Not all of you." I say and gesture to Allie, who's looking very sheepish at the moment.
Good.
Allie and Tobin finish their conversation and walk back over to us.
"Alright back to work." I say then walk away before Allie can say a word.
Not really in the mood to hear her voice.
The rest of training goes smoothly and Allie avoids me the whole time. Once training is over we all do our cool down stretches.
"Astrid your leg tattoo is fading." Mal says and points at it.
"Yeah since April of last year I've been getting it removed."
"Why?" Kelley asks.
"It was a way to remember Lily, but it's been holding me back from healing so I'm getting rid of it."
"How much longer till it's gone?" Moe asks.
"Two more sessions so about 13 weeks."

The alpaca farm was cool.
It was funny seeing how much Lindsey and Moe were struggling with their alpaca while mine and Tobin's alpaca was the best behaved.
After the alpaca farm we came back to the Lodge and had dinner then we were free for the rest of the night so Tobin and I went back to our room to spend some alone time together on her birthday.
"So I do have gifts for you, but I left them in America since we'd be here and you wouldn't really have space in your bag."
"That's fine." Tobin says with a smile.
"But I um do I have one thing here for you." I say and scratch the back of my neck.
"Okay."
I walk to my bag and get out one of my Wolfsburg keeper jersey from last season. I then turn around and hand it to Tobin.
"Here." I say.
"Your jersey?" Tobin asks with a soft smile.
"Yeah." I say and scratch the back of my neck. "i thought you might...you know when were apart....and then maybe...uh you know..."
Tobin chuckles the softly kisses me.
"You know you're really cute when your nervous." Tobin says.
"Sorry." I mumble.
"It's fine. And I know what you're thinking and it's not stupid. I'll gladly wear your jersey."
I smile at my girlfriend then softly kiss her.
We then set up netflix on the tv then each of us shower and change into our sleep stuff. After both of us were changed we got in bed then cuddled together while watching netflix.
I didn't really pay attention to the tv show because my girlfriend has very addictive lips.
"I really like kissing you." I admit.
"I really like kissing you too." Tobin says.
"I know I say this a lot, but I'm really happy you're in my life. I know I'm not always the easiest person to be in a relationship with, but with you in my life..." I say and try not to get emotional. "Just thank you for not giving up on me."
"I'll never give up on you Astrid." Tobin says then softly kisses me. "You're stuck with me."

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.

LIlith's Firstborn
The legend says that the Forbidden Fruit made the first two humans – Adam and Eve – intelligent, but what if it was the other way around? What if the Forbidden Fruit took most of their humility, their intelligence, their kindness, etc. away and turn them into the discriminating, angry, and hateful humans that they are? What if the only way to turn back into their former selves was to lead a good life on Earth to cleanse their souls? The legend also says that Lilith was a demoness who fled from Heaven and was granted mercy when she showed humility and proved that her soul was still worthy of saving despite all her wrongdoings. What if, after centuries of sinning, Lilith finally found her way back to kindness? What if God forgave Lilith for her crimes? What if she gave birth to a baby after she had repented? And what if that baby is the only human soul in existence that isn’t tainted by the Forbidden Fruit or her past sins? Tallitanya of Lilith inherited her mother’s immortality and grew up at a rate much slower than an average human so she had witnessed the rise and fall of empires even though she is physically and mentally 21 years old. She was born on Earth, but she moved to Heaven when she was physically 5 years old and didn’t return until she was 18 years old. She was tasked, by God himself, to guard over the Forbidden Tree which had since been replanted on an isolated island on Earth. She loves that job, and she loves that she was given direct instructions instead of having to figure out what God’s so-called ‘mysterious plans’ for her was. Centuries went by. Tallitanya is 21 years old when the Final Judgement is nigh. As an immortal who has yet to have a real affiliation with Heaven or Hell, Tallitanya has received a personal invitation from the Antichrist who wishes to recruit Tallitanya. Heaven also sends its angel – Michael – to inform Tallitanya that as a human, her soul would also be judged by God. She was ordered to leave her post as the Forbidden Tree’s guardian so that she could get to know the other humans before she makes an actual decision about who she wants to align herself with. The second she steps out of the island, it disappears. Turns out, her message from God was faked, and so was her mission. The devil had tricked her, and as the guardian of the Forbidden Tree, she must recover the tree and the island, or humanity will perish within the year.
