Work Text:
Ali just came back from grabbing dinner with Crystal and she's absolutely exhausted. After a quick shower, she quickly switches on her Mac and waits for the other side to pick up the Facetime call.
Ashlyn: Hey pretty! Did I mention how much I envy Labbe...
Ali: That's funny because Nault sent me a text saying how she's envious of me....
Ash: haha well how was dinner?
Ali: ohhh we tried out that new Pizza place ...I'll bring you there after Spirit beats the Pride
Ash: does that mean I'll never get to go then? I mean I'm a pretty badass keeper if I must say
Ali: of course you are babe ....omg....seriously!?
Ash: what?
Ali: didn't you check your twitter tags?
Ash: no....I've been watch past Thorn games..why?
Ali: just go see for yourself...
Ash: so Alex, do you have anything you need to tell me?
Ali: Ashlyn, you know I won't cheat on you right...i mean we've been through so much and like I know the distance was what caused us to ....
Ash: Breathe Alex! *smiling giving Ali the dimple smile* I'm just curious who he is. Never took you to be the one to keep secret lovers
Ali: *sensing Ash is just teasing* Well "he" happens to be in Portland right now actually...and "he" isn't really a "he"...it's actually a "she". Plus I never had the need to hide "him"
Ash: urghhhh I KNEW IT!!!! *cover her face*
Ali: *begins to panic and wonder if she mistaken Ashlyn's teasing tone* Ashlyn...? babe....
Ash: *couldn't hold the laughter anymore* I knew you and Alex had a thing!
Ali: hahaa I love you
Ash: aww i love you too babe!
Ash: *shoots off a reply to that tweet*
