"Mal do we have to go to a club?" I ask.

Tonight was the game against Belgium and I didn't play in that game either so accepting this call up was a small waste of time...Okay not really because I got to see my twin and Christen for the first time in eleven years. I also got to meet Tobin which I'm very happy about.

"Yeah it's some team bonding thing that was Pinoe and Kelley's idea."

"Of course it was...Are you 21 yet?"

"No. I am at the end of the month."

"Ah that sucks."

"Yeah... wanna slip me a drink?" Mal asks.

"I'm good. I don't feel like getting my ass beat by Christen."

"Fine." Mal groans.

"I tell you what Mal. Next camp I'll take you out for your first legal drink before we head to France."

"Deal." Mal says.

The two of us finish getting ready then head down to the lobby. When everyone is in the lobby we split into groups of four and get Uber's to the club Pinoe and my twin decided on. Once everyone is at said club we head inside and go to our private area that Kelley and Pinoe somehow managed to get us. The more social girls on the team head over to the bar and order everyone, except Mal and Tierna, shots so we all quickly down our shot.

"Hey cutie." A blonde woman with obvious plastic surgery says and sits on my lap.

"Sup." I say and take a sip of my drink.

"You should buy me a drink."

"Should I now?" I ask.

The woman tries to wrap her arms around me, but I quickly shut that shit down. Out of the corner of my eye I see all the girls looking at me with Tobin paying the most attention to the bimbo on my lap.

"Yeah then maybe we can head back to my place."

"Nah trick you good." I say.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. I'm not interested so go hoe around with someone else."

"BITCH." The bimbo shouts and tries to hit me, but I catch her hand before she connects with my face.

"Fucks sake Stacy." Some brunette says and walks over to us with a couple other girls. "I apologize for her."

The group of girls takes the blonde off my lap and walk her away from us.

"Sorry." The same brunette says. "She's usually not like this."

"Somehow I highly doubt that." I say.

The brunette girl sigh's then walks back to her group.

"I'll be back." I say to the team then get up.

As I walk towards the bar I feel all of the teams eyes on me. Once at the bar I order my usual drink and wait a minute for it to be made then head back to the area with my drink. When I get back to the area the only available seat is right next to Tobin so I gladly take it.

As I'm relaxing I feel a tap on my shoulder from Tobin.

"Yes Tobin?" I say and turn towards her.

Tobin doesn't respond.

Tobin brings one of her hands up to my face and caresses it while she stares deep into my eyes.

"Tobin?" I ask.

Tobin then leans in and softly kisses me. The kiss swiftly turns a little heated and before we can go too far Tobin pulls away.

"I know we're going slow." Tobin says. "But even though we aren't dating yet I don't enjoy women sitting on your lap that aren't one of the team, your twin, or me. Got it?"

"Yep." I say and gulp. "Mhmm. Got it."

What the fuck is the woman doing to me?

"Good." Tobin says then downs her drink. "Let's dance."

Possessive Tobin is hot as fuck.

"Do you have to go?" Mal says into my chest while hugging me.

The team is at the airport since everyone is leaving today and Mal is pretty sad I'm leaving.

"Yes Mal I do." I say while raking my fingers through the young forwards hair.

We've become pretty close.

"But I'm gonna miss you too much."

"I'll miss you to Mal, but I'll be back in a month."

"That's too long." Mal says and tightens her grip on me.

"You have my number so you can call me, text me, or FaceTime me whenever you want." I say and kiss her head.

"I still don't want you to leave."

"Actually I have an idea." I say then look at my twin. "Kelloggs can you watch our stuff?"

"Of course." Kelley says.

"Sweet...come on Mal." I say and grab her hand and lead her to one of those airport shopping places.

"What are we doing?" Mal asks.

"Well I need a drink for the flight so do you want anything?"

Mal nods and gets what she wants then I take it out of her hands.

"And now I want you to go pick one of those plush animals." I say and gesture to the mountain of stuffed animals.

"Okay?" Mal says and does what I say.

After my hands start getting cold from the drinks I walk over to her.

"Find something yet?" I ask.

"No I can't decide...which one do you like?"

"Well Panda's are my favorite animals."

"Then I'll take this one." Mal says and grabs one of the pandas and hugs it.

The two of us go to the register and I pay for everything, much to Mal's annoyance. We then go back over to the group and put our drinks away then I lead Mal to my suitcase.

"Alright...pick a shirt." I say after opening my suitcase.

"What?"

"Pick a shirt."

Mal looks at me skeptically then picks one of my sleeveless Wolfsburg shirts.

"Alright now hand me the panda."

Mal does and I slip the shirt onto the panda then tie the bottom of the shirt off so it fits the panda.

"There we go." I say and hand the plush toy to Mal. "Now you can cuddle that when you miss me."

"Thanks Astrid." Mal says and hugs me.

"Your welcome Mal."

"Lufthansa Flight 453 to Munich will begin boarding in 10 minutes." A voice on the loud speaker says.

"That's my flight Mal."

"No." Mal says and tighten's her grip on me.

"I'll be back soon."

"Fine." Mal says then breaks the hug.

I zip my suitcase back up then hug some of the girls before I reach my twin.

"I'll see ya soon Kelloggs." I say and tightly hug her.

"See ya soon." Kelley says then I feel my shirt get wet.

"Kelley I'm not running anymore. I'll be back in a month."

"I know...I love you."

"I love you too." I say then kiss her head.

I then grab my stuff and head to my gate and hand the gate agent my ticket then walk onboard and sit in my first class seat.

Ahh the perks of designing airplanes.

As the other passengers get on the plane my phone rings alerting me to a FaceTime.

"Hey."

"Astrid?"

"Yes?"

"I miss you."

"I miss you too Mal."

We talk until a little bit before I have to go then I call someone else before relaxing.

Fuck this going to be a long month.
