Me: I don't know what jersey to wear today.

Duchess Meghan: What are your options?

Me: well it's USA v England today and I could wear Lucy's jersey or I could wear Christen's jersey.

Duchess Meghan: Are you dating Christen?

Me: No.

Me: Not yet

Duchess Meghan: Then I'd wear Lucy's.

Duchess Meghan: Just so nobody gets suspicious and jeopardizes your relationship before it even starts.

Me: Smart Duchess Meghan.

Duchess Meghan: Anna😡

Me: Love you😘

Me: I just remembered I don't even have Christen's jersey 😐🤦‍♀️

Duchess Meghan: Problem solved.😂

"Foods here Anna." Leah says.

"Alright." I say then join the other three ladies.

"This is it?" Freya asks as we look at our food.

We decided to try In-N-Out before we head to the stadium because a lot of people told us to try it. The four of us each got a burger then we decided to split some fries.

"I thought American burgers were supposed to be bigger." Beth says.

"Looks like were eating at the stadium as well." I say as we start eating.

"Their fries taste like cardboard." Freya says.

"It's a decent burger." I say after I finish the small burger. "But I don't understand the hype."

"Same." Leah says as we turn on the TV to watch the Nigeria v China game.

"Ah shit." I say.

"What?" Freya asks as I get my Mac out.

"I need to update the website."

"Oh." Leah says as the other girls get out their phones to read off the scores.

"Agreed." The three ladies say as my phone buzzes so I pick it up.

Lucy: So who are you cheering for today?

Me: I'm hoping for a draw.

Steph: Are you going to wear an American kit.

Me: No.

Me: I don't have her kit yet.

Lucy: Still not gonna tell us who's got you all bubbly?

Me: If I tell you who it is you have to promise not to hurt her or get to rough.

Lucy: Promise

Steph: Promise.

Me: Christen Press

"Anna we need to go." Freya says.

"Alright." I say then grab my stuff.

The four of us head out of my room, take the elevator down to the lobby, then we get in the waiting car outside our hotel. We then make the half hour journey to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

"Have you talked to Christen today?" Beth asks as we pull into the parking lot.

"We Facetimed at breakfast but not after that. I don't want to distract her before the game." I say.

The four of us exit the car then head into the stadium and make our way onto the field. Once on the field the four of us check out the state of the pitch to make sure it's in good condition then we go stand on the sideline as the two teams come onto the field to start their warm ups. Both teams seem super focused in their warm ups so me and my three friends decide to head up to our box.

When we get to our box the four of us get real food then head out to our seats right as the Americans kick off.

"Guess we missed the anthems." Leah says.

The first forty minutes of the game is very back and forth with nobody getting a decent shot off. Eventually Kelley plays a ball over the top of the English defense and the ball lands at the feet of Christen. Christen takes a couple of touches then shoots low and hard bast Karen making the score 1-0.

"Should I celebrate?" I question.

"No clue." Freya says.

"I'll just clap." I say then clap while everyone else around us loses their mind.

Half time comes a few minutes later so the girls and I head back into the indoor part of our box and throw away our trash. The four of us then take turns using the bathroom then we grab some drinks and head to our seats before kickoff.

The second half is a lot more chippy and Steph and Lucy go at Christen a lot harder then necessary.

"I'm going to smack them next time I see them." I say after my best friends both tackle Christen unnecessarily.

"I think they deserve more than a slap." Beth comments as I get out my phone and text the two Englishwoman

Me: Were the second half fouls necessary?

Eventually the game ends with the score being 1-0 thanks to Christen. Me and the other girls wait a little bit then we head down to the car and drive back to the hotel

As we walk into the hotel I take out my phone and text my favorite American.

Me: Hey are you still up to going out tonight

Christen: I am.

Me: Well instead of going out to dinner would you like me to pick you up and we can pick some food up then we can relax in my room for a while.

Christen: That sounds nice.

Me: Awesome. See you in 30?

Christen: See you in 30

Exactly 30 minutes later I pull up to Christen's hotel just as she is coming out of the hotel. I go to get out of the car to get Christen's door, but she's already opened it.

"I could've gotten that." I mumble as Christen gets in the car.

"I know." Christen says as she buckles up.

Christen leans over the console and kisses my cheek.

"Hi." Christen whispers

"Hey beautiful." I say with a smile. "You kicked butt today."

"Thanks." Christen says as I start driving. "Your friends are very rough."

"Yeah." I say then scratch my neck. "They asked who was making me so happy and I told them it was you so that may be the reason...sorry."

"I make you happy?" Christen asks.

"Very happy." I answer.

Out of the corner of my eye I see Christen smile while blushing. The American then slips her hand into mine which makes me get butterflies in my stomach. I then bring our intertwined hands up to my lips and kiss Christen's hand.

Christen and I decide where we want to eat so we head to the drive through and pick up our food. After we get our food I drive us back to my hotel then we head up to my room and start eating.

"Oh." Christen says and grabs her purse. "I have something for you."

Christen hands me a red jersey and a white jersey.

"I didn't know which one you'd like more so I got you both." Christen shyly says.

"I love them." I say then smile at Christen. "I'll wear it to your next game."

I then kiss Christen's cheek, but when I pull back I notice Christen looking at my lips.

"I kinda wanna kiss you." Christen whispers.

"I wanna kiss you too." I whisper.

"Why don't you?"

I don't reply.

I just slowly lean in and softly kiss the brunette goddess and holy fuck her lips feel amazing.

I really need to ask Christen to be my girlfriend.
