《Seeing Double》14

"Happy birthday Toby."
"Thank you." Tobin says and kisses me.
We kiss for a very long time until air becomes an issue then Tobin lays her head on my chest so I wrap my arms around my girl.
"Ahh." Tobin says and lets out a happy sigh. "This is nice."
"It is." I say and kiss Tobin's head. "I wish we didn't have training today. I want to just stay here."
"Me-"
Tobin gets cut off by banging on the door.
"Shh." I whisper. "If we don't make any noise they'll go away."
"WE HAVE A KEY." Kelley shouts.
"Let's prank them." Tobin says. "Act asleep."
Both of us shut our eyes as the door opens.
"HAPPY..." Multiple people say, but I guess they believe we are asleep.
"Twin." Kelley says and shakes my shoulder. "Twin....Twin."
Under the covers I squeeze Tobin's hand three times.
"AHHHH." Tobin and I scream.
"AHHHHHHH." Everyone screams and Kelley falls back onto the other bed.
"Dicks." Christen says then jumps onto me and Tobin.
"Jerks." Alex says and joins her girlfriend in jumping on us.
The rest of the girls follow suit and soon Tobin and I are at the bottom of the dog pile.
"get off get off get off get off get off get off get off get off get off get off." I mumble into the pillow.
"Can't breathe." Tobin somehow says.
Everyone scrambles off of us and finally we can breathe.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY."
"Thanks...What are we doing today?" Tobin asks.
"We're training at Tottenham's training facility then I think were going to an Alpaca farm." Carli says.
"Alpaca farm? That's a thing?" Kelley asks.
"Apparently."
"All right everyone." Tobin says. "We need to change so get out."
The team all file out of our room so Tobin and I get changed then head down to the meal room to eat and have a small birthday celebration for Tobin. After we've eaten we walk from the lodge part of the training facility down to the training pitches and watch as Tottenham finish their last training session before they head to Madrid.

Once they finished the players came and said hello then we took pictures for social media. After that was done we warmed up then the keepers went off and did our own stuff until we were called for finishing training.
I was first in net and the first shooter was Allie. She dribble up a little bit then fired the ball straight at my head causing me to move out of the way so I won't get a concussion.
"What the fuck is your problem?"
"You." Allie says then she jogs away.
I quickly grab the ball from the net then drop kick it and send it just over Allie's head.
"Fucking watch it." Allie says through gritted teeth.
Allie then walks towards me so I walk towards her and we meet around 30 yards from goal
"ENOUGH." Kelley yells as the team surround us.
"If I wanted to hit you then you'd have a fucking concussion right now." I say.
"Okay." Allie sarcastically says.
I grab a ball off the ground then move out of the group circle.
"Right crossbar joint." I say.
I then drop the ball and put my foot through it. The ball flies through the air then hits the spot where the crossbar meets the right post.
"Told you." I say.
"What is the problem here?" Jill asks and looks between Allie and myself.
"Are you two still not over this?" Carli asks.
"I am, but apparently Allie isn't." I say.
"Come on." Tobin says then grabs my arm and walks us away from the group.
"Am I doing something wrong?"
"No Astrid."
"Then why can't she let it go. I mean she didn't say shit about Ash and Ali keeping their relationship a secret."
"I don't know baby." Tobin admits.
"You can tell her why." I say.
"Are you sure?"
"If it'll get her off my ass then yes."
"Alright." Tobin says.
The two of us then walk back to the group and when we get to the group Tobin pulls Allie away.

"You alright?" Kelley asks.
"I thought all of you could put the pieces together of why we aren't public. With everything that happened in college, the stuff that happened in Germany, and with it being a new relationship I'd rather us be happy and have only family and friends know rather than us be unhappy and have the whole world knowing Tobin's my girlfriend."
"Not everyone know's what exactly happened Astrid."
"And they don't need too." I say. "Everyone has secrets they don't wish to share. There's things I won't ever tell Kelley."
"We understand that." Christen says.
"Not all of you." I say and gesture to Allie, who's looking very sheepish at the moment.
Good.
Allie and Tobin finish their conversation and walk back over to us.
"Alright back to work." I say then walk away before Allie can say a word.
Not really in the mood to hear her voice.
The rest of training goes smoothly and Allie avoids me the whole time. Once training is over we all do our cool down stretches.
"Astrid your leg tattoo is fading." Mal says and points at it.
"Yeah since April of last year I've been getting it removed."
"Why?" Kelley asks.
"It was a way to remember Lily, but it's been holding me back from healing so I'm getting rid of it."
"How much longer till it's gone?" Moe asks.
"Two more sessions so about 13 weeks."

The alpaca farm was cool.
It was funny seeing how much Lindsey and Moe were struggling with their alpaca while mine and Tobin's alpaca was the best behaved.
After the alpaca farm we came back to the Lodge and had dinner then we were free for the rest of the night so Tobin and I went back to our room to spend some alone time together on her birthday.
"So I do have gifts for you, but I left them in America since we'd be here and you wouldn't really have space in your bag."
"That's fine." Tobin says with a smile.
"But I um do I have one thing here for you." I say and scratch the back of my neck.
"Okay."
I walk to my bag and get out one of my Wolfsburg keeper jersey from last season. I then turn around and hand it to Tobin.
"Here." I say.
"Your jersey?" Tobin asks with a soft smile.
"Yeah." I say and scratch the back of my neck. "i thought you might...you know when were apart....and then maybe...uh you know..."
Tobin chuckles the softly kisses me.
"You know you're really cute when your nervous." Tobin says.
"Sorry." I mumble.
"It's fine. And I know what you're thinking and it's not stupid. I'll gladly wear your jersey."
I smile at my girlfriend then softly kiss her.
We then set up netflix on the tv then each of us shower and change into our sleep stuff. After both of us were changed we got in bed then cuddled together while watching netflix.
I didn't really pay attention to the tv show because my girlfriend has very addictive lips.
"I really like kissing you." I admit.
"I really like kissing you too." Tobin says.
"I know I say this a lot, but I'm really happy you're in my life. I know I'm not always the easiest person to be in a relationship with, but with you in my life..." I say and try not to get emotional. "Just thank you for not giving up on me."
"I'll never give up on you Astrid." Tobin says then softly kisses me. "You're stuck with me."

The Viadon Project: Extinction
In the year 2080, a group of fanatics believed that the world was going to end. In order to save the human race from extinction, a man named Damian Hunts created a time machine and travelled back in time to the Cretaceous Period alongside his fellow believers. They built a massive city on the continent of Laramidia, and named it Viadon. To keep their future generations from travelling back to a broken future, Damian and the Founding Families destroyed the time machine and created a their own version of history, completely leaving out the fact that they had time travelled, and that the Mass Extinction would happen thousands of years later. Two-thousand years later, the future generations of Viadon have no idea of their ancestors pasts, but things start to unravel quickly as Time Travelers come to warn them of impending doom. Vocabulary:Laramidia: was an island continent that existed during the Late Cretaceous period (99.6-66 Ma), when the Western Interior Seaway split the continent of North America in two.

Code Name: GLITCH
Major Xiomar Haydn is a damn good soldier, and an even better mechanic, although he does have a tendency to get himself thrown into the stockades for getting on the general's bad side. To keep him busy and out of trouble, Xiomar is assigned the task of repairing an old Mech that hasn't been touched in fifteen years. He knows he can fix it--he's Chief Mechanic. What he doesn't know, however, is that GLITCH has a mind of its own. Literally. In the midst of a war between two countries, Xiomar and his newly-repaired Mech are caught in the middle. The enemy is trying to obtain GLITCH's technology... the power to give their own Mechs sentience and dominate the world. Xiomar finds himself pondering the morality of forcing a sentient being to fight on his behalf, and what that means for him as a dutiful soldier. With the future filled with uncertainty, Xiomar and GLITCH are certain of one thing--no one's going down without a fight.
