Chapter Text
“So what brings you here in California?” Tobin asked, never leaving Christen’s eyes.
“Well this is actually where I come from, it’s great to be back home”. Christen answers, reciprocating Tobin’s staring battle.
“Yeahh Cali girl here makes everyone head over heels, be careful” Kelley said while winking at Tobin. “Oh I’m not surprised” Tobin added and took a sip of her vodka.
Christen smirked at Tobin so Kelley, sensing the sexual tension, decided to change topic “ Tobs, do you know that Christen is one of the best strikers I have ever played with? She is so good, I don’t even know why she hasn’t been called up yet”.
“Really?” Alex began to speak in an unusual friendly tone. “Yes, I’ve been playing since I was young” Christen replied offering a warm smile.
“Now I figure out where this killer body comes from, I really hope you’ll make the team and join us soon” Tobin replied with a flirting tone and her megawatt smile. Alex punched her in the ribs
“Thanks”. All Tobin got was a seductive smile.
Tobin was so intrigued by the tanned girl. She was usually used to make girls blush just by looking at them. But everything was different with Christen. The Cali girl was playing her game as well. She could keep up with Tobin and her usual cockiness. And Tobin was more than ready to put herself out and compete with her.
“I’m going to get another drink really quickly, do you want some?” Christen states. “No thanks”.
Just as Christen disappears, Kelley turns abruptly towards Tobin “Don’t you dare, I really care about her”.
“What?” Tobin tries to play coy.
“C’mon Tobs, don’t tell me you’re not interested, she is hot af” Alex chuckles. “Lex shouldn’t you be with Servando?” Tobin tells her.
“I warned you, don’t hurt her or I’ll k-“
“You’ll do what?” Christen is behind Kelley, an amused look on her face.
“NOTHING, I was just explaining to Tobey here how to treat girls properly” Kelley says, her eyes glaring at Tobin. “ Do not call me that” Tobin warns her with a finger in the air.
“Guys calm down, we are here to have fun, Tobin come with me, I wanna dance” Alex takes Tobin by the forearm and they’re soon on the dancefloor. Christen and Kelley reach a booth in the corner of the room.
A blonde girl approaches Tobin and starts grinding on her seductively. Her back is pressed hard against Tobin’s front. Then turns and puts her arms around the midfielder’s neck.
But Tobin’s mind is somewhere else and it has a lot to do with two green orbs across the room.
Tobin’s eyes have never left Christen’s ones.
A silent dialogue is going on full of lust, curiosity and pride. The loud music is thumping in Tobin’s ears. She is turned on, but in a different way, this time it’s something stronger and deeper. That is why, when Christen goes to the bathroom, she follows her without thinking, leaving the poor blonde girl and a stunned Alex behind.
This is not typical Tobin. She is usually the one in charge, the one who decides what happens next. But for now Tobin is at the mercy of the beautiful Cali striker.
Christen starts to open the door of the restroom but in a matter of time she feels the pressure of a body on her back, pushing her inside. Tobin’s cologne fills the air inside. Christen is pushed with her back against the cold wall by strong arms. She is not given the time to speak or breathe because Tobin’s lips are crushing against hers. They are forceful, violent and merciless. At first Christen is taken aback by the sudden attack but soon she is the one fighting Tobin for dominance. Tobin is pinning her to the wall using her hips, having a hold of her hands above her head. Christen moans into her mouth as Tobin puts one of her thighs between Christen’s legs. With her tongue expertly exploring the raven beauty’s mouth, Tobin doesn’t waste time and insert two fingers inside Christen.
“Don’t you dare … to stop-p…” Christen screams in her ear. “Your friend Kelley seems to have another opinion” Tobin teases her while Christen is reaching her climax.
“I don’t give a fuck about what she says right now” Christen groans.
“Nasty girl uh..”.
She thrusts in and out until she can feel Christen’s legs begin to tremble. So she holds her up while biting her neck and waits until she is met again with the two eyes she is starting to adore.
That night Tobin doesn’t sleep alone.
And the next one either.
//
Their relationship progresses slowly but it is based on trust and love. Tobin’s changed. She starts to plan dates for Christen much to Kelley’s disbelief. Soon they are moving in together. They have a deep connection, something that Tobin had never known before. She forgets her antics: No more one-night stands, games or her “womanizer” behaviour.
The old Heath is gone and Kelley is the one apologising.
“Tobs!”
-“Hey Kelley whassup?”
“Do you have a minute dude?” - “Of course, let’s go grab a coffee”.
“Tobin I just wanted to apologise to you … I mean for the way I judged you at first with Christen. The thing is that I couldn’t believe you would change so much for her. I’m not here to judge anymore but you weren’t exactly the type of person ready for commitment. But I misjudged you and I’m sorry…” Kelley looks at Tobin with guilty eyes “ I’m actually so thrilled to finally see her smile whenever she hears your name, you did good! As you probably have already figured out Christen seems very confident on the outside but she can also be very fragile. It’s not one of the best moments for her … you know… she is struggling to be called up in the team, so take care of her”. Kelley looks Tobin with firm eyes and pats on her back “I trust you”.
“Kells, thanks. I really appreciate you taking the time to talk to me. But you are right. I made a lot of mistakes in the past and I’m more than willing to take care of Christen. I think I love her, I can feel her presence in a big room and the way my body reacts whenever she is around me is not normal. I cannot put into words how I feel about her, the smiles she gives only to me in the morning or the way she hugs me from behind so that I can feel her warmth in the crock of my neck. I’m very lucky” Tobin ends the chat wiping away the few tears that have fallen.
A few weeks later Christen is invited to the USWNT’s camp and she is more than happy.
