《The Throne》16

"Hello my Love." I say then kiss my beautiful girlfriend.
"Hi Baba." Christen says then she drives away from the Chicago airport.
Apparently a bunch of NWSL fans petitioned to have the NWSL Championship moved from North Carolina. The president of the NWSL agreed and now it's in Chicago.
"How was the flight?"
"It was nice." I say and intertwine our hands. "I missed you."
"Anna you spent the past two weeks with me and I left this morning." Christen says while giggling.
"Still missed you." I mumble then raise our hands and kiss Christen's hand.
Christen continues driving to the hotel while I look over my girlfriends beautiful face.
Eventually we get to the hotel so Christen parks then she leads me up to my room where we put my stuff away. Once my stuff's put away, my girlfriend and I head to her room where dinner is waiting for us.
"Corsie got us food then she went to someone else room." Christen says then we start eating our food.
As we're eating Christen shows me a picture Tobin posted of herself, Gal, and Gal's kids at the beach.
I really wish she wouldn't have shown me the picture because know I'm annoyed.
"What's wrong?" Christen asks.
"Nothing." I say.
"Anna you know I don't like liars."
"I just wish we were public." I admit. "I want to be able to hold your hand in public, kiss you whenever I want, flirt with you, and tell you that I love you in public."
Christen looks down at her laps and twiddles her thumbs silently.
"I'm sorry." I say and gather my food. "You don't need this conversation the night before the championship."
I then stand up.
"I'll see you tomorrow." I say and kiss the top of Christen's head then I leave the room and head to my own room.

As I'm walking I take out my phone and text some people.
Me: Can one of you go check on Christen?
Becky: Of course.
Kelley: What happened.
Me: Just check on her please
After I get in my room I lock the door then head over to the desk in the room and finish eating my dinner. When I'm finished eating I throw my trash away then I take a shower before I get in bed and go to sleep.
I'm woken up from my sleep by my phone ringing so I pick it up.
"What?" I groan and rub my face.
"Well hello to you too sleeping beauty." Gal says.
"What's up?"
"Well Anna it's noon and I haven't heard from you today so I was calling to make sure you were awake." Gal says then I look at the clock.
"Shit." I mumble. "I guess I decided to sleep in."
"I can tell."
"I'll be ready by two." I say.
"Okay. I'll meet you out front of your hotel."
"Sounds good. Bye Gal."
"Bye Sleeping beauty."
I hang up the phone then I notice one very important text.
Christen💚: Are you still coming to the game?
Me: Do you want me to?
Christen💚:I do.
Me: Then I'll be there.
I put my phone down then order some room service for lunch. I then take a quick shower and get out a couple minutes before my food arrives. Once my food arrives I quickly eat it then get dressed, grab my things, and meet Gal out front of the hotel.
We then drive to the stadium then once we get to the stadium the four of us head to our seats which are on the sidelines.
"So how did you get these seats?" I ask.
"All I know is Tobin got them for us." Gal says.

Right before the game starts I take Maya and Alma to get some food and drinks then we return as Utah restart the game in the 10th minute after Portland scores.
"Who scored?" I ask as I sit down.
"Uh I think her name's Sinclair." Gal says.
In the 20th minute Kelley runs down the left flank with the ball then she floats a cross into the box. Christen runs onto the cross and heads the ball past the Portland keeper making the score 1-1. Christen celebrates with her team then she jogs back to her side of the field.
As she jogs to her side of the field she looks over at me so I smile at her. Christen smiles back at me then continues jog back to her side.
The rest of the first half is a bit boring and nothing really materializes for either team which kinda sucks.
Apparently during the first half the announcers found me sitting in the crowd. At halftime they asked if they could talk to me which I agreed to so I was taken to the booth and given a headset.
"Welcome back to the NWSL Championship game." The lead host says. "It's currently halftime here in Chicago and the score is tied 1-1. Right now though we have a special guest joining us in the booth. Please welcome Princess Annabeth...Anna how are you."
"I'm good thank you for having me." I say.
"So before we get into the soccer being played what exactly are you doing here."
"Well I became pretty good friends with some of the girls on the US Women's National team during the HALO Cup and they invited me to come watch the game."
The announcers then ask me about the HALO Cup, how I met Gal, stuff about the game, and some other random stuff. Once the interview is over I remove the headset then I head down to my seat and eat some of the chips Gal got me.
"So you call French fries chips?" Alma asks.
"I do." I say and smile at the cute girl.
"But what do you call these." Alma asks and holds up a bag of Lays.
"We call those crisps."
"We?"
"British people."
"Why?"
"Long story." I say as the teams kick off the second half.
"That's so weird." Alma says then turns her attention back to the game.
"You're so cute." I say then kiss Alma's head.
The first 44 minutes of the second half is entertaining as fuck, but both keepers keep everything out of the net.
In the 90th minute some Utah player plays a through ball to Tobin's friend, I think her name's Amy, who then sprints towards goal with only one defender to beat. Amy easily beats the defender then she shoots towards the goal, but the Portland keeper gets a hand to it and parry's it away. Unfortunately for Portland the ball goes straight to my girlfriend who puts her laces through the ball sending it to the back of the net.
The Utah girls surround Christen and hug her then they get back to their side and wait for kick off.
Right after Portland kicks off the ref blows her whistle then the Utah girls stream off the bench and celebrate their Championship.
Once Christen has celebrated with her teammates enough she comes over to me.
"You did it baby." I whisper.
Christen smiles at me then she puts her hands on my face and passionately kisses me.
"Woah." I say when air becomes an issue. "You need to win more things if I keep getting kisses like that after."
"You're right." Christen says. "I love you and I'm gonna tell the whole world."
"I love you Christen."

Khaldir's Observer
Markus Kuberski, a 21-year-old mechanical engineering student at the Vienna University of Technology and a weeb, is bored by life. He has no girlfriend he cannot meet up with his friends because there is another Covid-lockdown and getting a side-job is also unsuccessful. Therefore, he has started to write a web novel. “If I cannot be the main character with magical powers and a harem full of cute girls in real life then I will create my own universe and be its protagonist.” Although that has been his first thought, he neither dare to use himself as the main character’s template nor write a harem story. “I am not that desperate!” he muses to himself. Little does he know that he will get more than he asked for when a mighty existence becomes interested in his story and makes it a reality. Hello, this is my first attempt at creating something like a novel. English is also not my native language, so expect some grammar and punctuation issues. I am using Grammarly to help myself in this regard, but in some areas, the free app cannot correct everything.There is currently no fixed schedule, although I believe that two chapters per week should be reasonable. Depending on how much time I have, I can write more.
