Chapter 1: First encounter

Chapter Text

Hope's POV:
I was looking forward to seeing Karin again we were both so busy and I hardly had time to see my friends especially my friends from home. I had just gotten to the coffee shop and went to my regular table. As I sat down I saw someone had forgotten their phone at the table, quickly grabbing the phone I went to the waiter who usually serves my table and asked if he knew who the phone belonged to. He said there were two women at the table that left before I got there and it most likely belonged to one of them. I asked if he had seen them there before and he said he hadn't.  
Kelley's POV:
I always have alot of fun when I am hanging out with Tobin even though we will be playing against each other tonight we are still good friends and who doesn't enjoy catching up with a cup of coffee. The really good thing about playing for a club in New Jersey is that New York is close by and you can go to the city for awhile without being away all day. As we were walking to the dunkin donuts Tobin suggested taking a picture to send to Alex, as I went to grab my phone I realised it wasn't in my pocket anymore "darn Tobin we need to backtrack I lost my phone, I can't lose my phone it has everything on it, what will I do without it?" I started freaking out and Tobin being Tobin told me to relax she said "we'll find it, just chill". We decided to start at the coffee shop we just left hoping it would still be there. All the way back I was just hoping it would be there I really didn't want to lose everything on my phone and worst of all I didn't want to have to go through the hassle of getting a new one with my old number and everything. When we got there we decided it would be best to go to the table we sat at in the hopes of finding it there. As we went to the back of the shop I could see that someone was sitting at the table. Getting there I couldn't believe my eyes the woman sitting there was so beautiful the most piercing eyes even though she did look a little scary. "Excuse me but did you by any chance find a phone here?"  
Hope's POV:
I was busy texting Karin asking where she was, when all of a sudden I hear someone talking to me, looking up I look into the most beautiful hazel eyes I think I have ever seen, and I am completely lost in them so much so that I have no idea what she said, trying not to look like a fool I cleared my throat and just said "I'm sor-ry I was a little dis-tracted coould you reepeat that" I was cursing myself for stuttering like some kind of idiot but I made sure to listen to what she had to say luckily she just smiled and asked if I had seen a phone at the table. I returned her smile and said "I gave it to the waiter in the hopes that whomever left it here would come back to claim it, looks like it's your lucky day" Internally I was so glad I got myself under control, and at that moment Karin called, I muttered a quick "excuse me" to answer my phone. When I turned back the woman was gone quickly getting up I looked around to see if I could find her but it seemed she was lost, at that moment John set my usual coffee down and I asked him if he had seen the woman I was talking to, "Sure, she just left". I don't know what came over me but at that moment I rushed to the door looking all over and right at the end of the street I saw her turning the corner, running after her I caught up quicker than expected she was laughing with some tanned woman, and before I knew it I was tapping her on the shoulder.  
Kelley's POV:
I wished I could have talked to the woman for a bit, but Tobin and I had to go and she was on her phone, I asked the manager for my phone and she gave it to me after I showed her that I could unlock the screen. Tobin and I quickly made our way down to street heading to my car, it was almost one in the afternoon and our match was at eight tonight. Tobin and I were talking about how lucky we were to have found my phone as easily as we did. Just as we were done talking about this I feel a tap on my shoulder, turning my head I am shocked to find it's the woman from the shop. I couldn't keep the smile from my face and luckily she smiled back  
Hope's POV:
When she turned around she smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back, but now I was acutely aware of the fact that I wasn't even sure why I ran after her, so I went to the first thing that popped into my head "uuhm did you find your phone?" Thank goodness it was relevant even though it was still a bit stupid cause obviously she wouldn't have left if she hadn't found it. She laughed a little and said " I did find it thank you... Uhm I don't know what your name is, my name is Kelley and this is my friend Tobin and your name is?". " O right sorry my name is Hope it's nice to meet both of you" I said while shaking their hands. I swear as I shook her hand there was a warmth that spread all over my body and I smiled even wider. "I'm glad you found it, well it was nice meeting you but I have to get back, I hope to see you guys again"  
Kelley's POV:
As she shook my hand there were butterflies in my stomach and all I could think about was my sweaty hand in her absolutely beautifully soft hand. When it seemed she was about to leave I just blurted out "Would you like to come to our game tonight, you look like someone who would enjoy a good soccer match". I stood there for what seemed like an eternity and from the corner of ny eye I could see Tobin staring at me with a smirk on her face. When she said she would love to come see us play I let out a breath I didn't even realize I was holding. After giving her all the information she would need for tonight we left and I couldn't stop smiling. Tobin put her arm around my shoulder and asked "so when does she meet your parents?" while laughing the whole time. I couldn't help but blush and just replied with a shut up I don't know what you're talking about, but for some reason I was even more excited than usual for our game tonight and I really hoped she would show up.
