When Lindsey woke up, she was surprised at the little peach of beauty sleeping next to her. She had forgotten that Emily was there altogether. They had fallen asleep after a late night out on a date and both exhausted, the women fell asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow. 

Lindsey twisted onto her side and grabbed her phone, carefully trying not to wake Emily. It was almost nine in the morning. As she returned to her original position, Lindsey felt her leg locked in between two thighs and she froze. Glancing under the think sheet that covered their half clothed bodies, Lindsey's eyes widened as she saw Emily straddling her leg in her sleep. 

Lindsey looked back up at her face and couldn't help but smile a little as Emily's eyes blinked open softly.

"Good morning," Lindsey whispered, leaning closer into her embrace. Emily pressed a kiss against her head and pushed herself further against the woman's body. 

"I should shower," Lindsey said, excusing herself from the bed quickly. She shed her clothes in front of her (girl)friend, smirking as she felt the woman's gaze shredding her body. She turned and winked at the blushing woman and hopped inside the shower. 

Emily stayed in the bed, thinking. It was working, their relationship. It really was. Nobody knew, and if they could keep it that way for another year and a half until Lindsey graduated, everything would work out. If they were even going to be together at that point, who knows. 

Emily closed her eyes once again and sunk into the pillow, only to sit bolt upright at the sound of a key in the door. She looked around the room. The door to the bathroom was wide open and the sound of water barely covered the noise. But Emily had heard it and a quiet whisper of, "Shit," from outside made her stand up from bed. The knob twisted and Emily ran into the bathroom. 

"Lindsey?" Mallory called loudly from the messy room. Emily yanked open the shower curtain and stepped in, clothes still on. Lindsey gaped at her, open mouthed as she did nothing to conceal her naked body. 

"Uh, yes, Mal?" Lindsey called back, her eyes not trailing from Emily's. She could feel her heart beating in her throat. 

"I think I left my charger in here the other day! Have you found it?" Mal asked. Lindsey could here the freshman ruffling through her stuff outside. She prayed that Mal wouldn't come across Emily's duffle. 

"No, I haven't seen it!" 

"Are you sure?" The forward shouted. Lindsey rolled her eyes and Emily had to stifle a laugh. 

"Yes, Mal! I'm sure, can you go?" She shouted through the roar of the water. 

Emily waited until they could hear the door shut behind Mal to get out of the shower, taking one long look up and down her girlfriend before stepping out. She was soaked.

"Babe, are you ready?" Ashlyn called pacing outside the bathroom as she scrolled through her instagram. Ali had been in the bathroom for over fifteen minutes doing her makeup as Allie and Hope waited on the sofa in their apartment. 

"One more minute," Ali spoke adjusting her mascara quickly. She shut the bottle and kissed Ashlyn shortly before joining Hope and Allie on the sofa. 

Seeing the defender, Allie sighed.  "Finally. Are we ready?" she asked, standing up and yanking Hope with her. 

"Yes!" Ali smiled, grabbing her girlfriend's hand and opening the door. The four women walked out the hall and met near Allie's subaru. She unlocked the doors and slid inside the driver's seat. "I call shotgun!" Ashlyn shouted, beating Hope to the front of the car. The goalkeeper rolled her eyes. She didn't really mind. 

The drive to the bowling alley was fast and pretty uneventful, except for the annoyingly loud disco music Allie blasted the whole time. As she said, the driver was the dj. 

The alley was empty except for a young family competing near them. The women exchanged their sneakers for bowling shoes and sat down on the nearest bench to tie them. Ali finished first and sat down at the name input, typing in "Hope", "Ali", "Alli" and "Ashy". Ashlyn rolled her eyes at the nickname, but picked up a ball silently and waited for her Hope to bowl.

She did, and she bowled a perfect ball, knocking every single pin over. Ashlyn, Ali and Allie all groaned in unison. Hope was definitely going to crush them.
