Kelley's POV
It was my first day at the US Women's National Team camp. I am sitting beside Tobin and Alex while waiting for our first meeting. I couldn't help biting my fingernails, I'm so nervous. I was looking around watching my teammates when suddenly a beautiful woman walked in. When I say beautiful, I mean drop dead gorgeous. I'm straight and my jaw dropped, that's how beautiful she is.
That face had eyes of blue, so blue that I thought they sparkled like the stars in the sky. Her nose was extremely straight and was framed by high cheek bones and a lovely jaw line. Perfectly straight white teeth were covered by thin but rather sexy lips that she invariably painted pink. Those lips were both blessing and a curse to Kelley.
On one hand, they were cute and the smile produced made everyone within view smile too. On the other hand, those lovely lips were murder to try to read. Kelley pulled herself together when she realized she was staring at her.
" Hope, Hope come here! " Carli called.
" Holy shit....It's Hope Solo! " Kelley curse herself.
" Kelley, what are you saying? " Tobin asked her.
" Nothing Tobin, " Kelley replied.
Thank God the meeting had started, I'm more nervous than before. I want to looked at Hope again but I'm afraid I will be caught staring at her. Coach Jill told us what to expect for the entire training camp. Dawn Scott, our fitness coach gave us our schedule for the day.
