Christen's pov
"I can't believe this is your girlfriend" Kelley said as we watched Daniëlle and some other of the girls immerse their heads in buckets of water. "You're just jealous she's winning" I said as she pulled another apple out of the water. "Times up" Katie said. The girls on my team started yelling and stuff as usual because we won. "That's so unfair!" Manu complained. "You're just mad because we kept beating your ass all day" Leah provoked the other teams earning a dip in one of the buckets. "You suck" Leah said pushing Vik playfully.

"Good job you" I told Daan as I went to sit beside her. "Thank you" she smiled as she put her arm around my waist. "You're dripping everywhere" I giggled as she started rubbing her head on me. "Oh sorry did I make you wet?" Daan said as she got over me. "Get a room!" Jill shouted from across the house. "I'll go dry a little bit" My beautiful girlfriend said before going outside with some other girls.

"Fucking knee" Beth said before she let herself fall on the couch next to me. "Is it getting better?" I asked her. "Yes rehab is paying off but I still need a month or more to be able to play without risking anything" Beth replied. Talking injury is never fun. "Can I ask you something?" I said. "Of course" she turned to face me. "Why didn't it worked out between you and Daan?" I asked her. "Oh" she said. She was most definitely expecting everything beside that.

"I think it's mostly because I wasn't as involved as she was. Nothing happened that like caused our relationship to go downhill, it just got worst slowly everyday. In the beginning it was magical. We fell in love after we've been playing together for a little while. I was roommate with Leah at the time, but we decided to move in together. It was all perfect, but I was never really good with commitment. I didn't cheat on her or anything because I'm not like that and I know her history, but mentally it was like I was. I wasn't really there with her and it just didn't feel right. I loved her, but it just wasn't meant to be" Beth explained. "I'm glad she has you now. She deserves someone that's good for her. I just hope the pattern won't continue" she said. "I don't intend on doing so" I reassured her. "So now that this is out of the way, can you stop being distant with me?" Beth asked. "I wasn't" I started to argue, but stopped when I saw her expression. "Okay, maybe I was just a little" I admitted. "Jeez not just a little, you didn't even say hi or anything to me all day long" Beth laughed and it reassured me that she wasn't mad. "Sorry, I was just a litte.." I trailed off. "Jealous?" Beth said. "Hmm" I hummed and nodded. "You don't need to be, it's over between Daan and I and it has been for a while now. She's one of my best friends so don't worry she's all yours. And if anyone tries to steal her from you, well I'm vert sorry for them" Beth looked around the room and I understood the meaning of her last phrase.

All of them have been so supportive of our relationship and they have showed a lot of enthusiasm about Kelley and I being here. You couldn't even tell that we've only been around them for a week. The girls back home were also very happy for us even if we get texts and calls everyday from them because they miss us. This club is just so respected and renowned internationally that everyone understood our decision to come here. When we announced that I signed here, the media went crazy. Mostly the fans that have been really into my relationship since the very beginning. They were very happy we were reunited and that Kelley was also coming since during the World Cup, a picture of Jill and her hugging had been posted and it didn't take long for the fans to start shipping them. They're also glad the 'Stanford buddies' are still together. However, I feel bad that we both left the Royals. They're going to have a very hard time now and when Becky will leave in a year or so, it will be critical for them. I try not to feel too guilty about it though. I have to worry about this team now. With two international level Americans coming into the FAWSL at the same time, many more people have started following the league than before and I feel like it's just the beginning. I'm very proud to be a gunner or I may say a gooner.
