if you want to continue interacting with me or my muses i'd appreciate if you either liked this or reached out just so i know who to keep and who wants to build dynamics.

❛ will you still look at me like you do now? ❜

❝   i'm like a hundred years pregnant, what's your excuse ?   ❞      grey not being here ? one thing. feeling uncomfortable no matter how or where she lay, another. plus, it felt like the baby was currently having fun playing soccer with her bladder. ❝   she's kicking.   ❞      alive and well. hand lightly brush over bump, looking from it and up to rhia. ❝   wanna feel it ? she's pretty strong for someone that's not even born yet   ❞

     ❝ 38 weeks and three days to be precise, ❞ she corrects with a grin, mulling over the question for a second before she shrugs.     ❝ i miss blake, ❞ hasn't heard from him yet despite their win. cannot fault him, most likely out celebrating with the team.     ❝ i'd love to, ❞ light in her eyes as she stretches out her hand for alex to place on her bump.

the sound of the shower turning off was the sound that woke her, that had her stir and realise nate wasn't occupying the space beside her anymore. she lay still for a moment before moving to pull something decent on --- that being an old top of his and a pair of shorts. her movements were slow, silent, she didn't mean to startle him but knowing she did had a smirk pull at her lips. kelly leans on the doorpost, eyes unashamedly checking his form, smirk turning into grin. ❛ ❛ shame that. i could do with a shower too. ❜ ❜ a brow raises, a playful lilt to her words. finally pushing herself off the post at the words of coffee, having to walk past him to reach it. ❛ ❛ but can't let the coffee go cold, that's a crime. ❜ ❜

     ❝ you snooze you lose, ❞ he teases, still holding onto his towel. would have loved to shower with her, run his fingers over soft curves and bask in the warmth of the water. steps aside as she moves to get into the coffee,     ❝ mmm would be such a shame, ❞ he mumbles to himself before changing into a pair of underwear and sweats before he joins her in the kitchen.

❝   like our own place, just the two of us ?   ❞      and winnie of course. still not sure where she'll be after graduation, if she is going to be playing or figure out a career in journalism, but living together ? it sounds good either way. great even. arms wrap around the back of his neck, pulling herself closer if possible.

     ❝ mmm, just you and me baby, ❞ he hums, had been grateful for his living situation in college. but it should also just remain that, a college living situation. graduation is nearing, his future already set in stone. not a forward, therefor not first overall pick. he may among the best defence players in this generation, but teams often overlooked them for the sake of forwards.     ❝ still liking boston i hope? ❞

it was as if he felt her lack of presence immediately, for he stirred almost instantly. she pulls on a t - shirt that lay on the floor before peering over her shoulder at the man that occupied the space in her bed. ❛ ❛ if we're late once more this week the guys are gonna start asking questions. ❜ ❜ she laughed, as tempting it is to crawl back in beside him, they surely would be on hick's radar for the third late arrival, never mind their squads. kelly couldn't risk it, nate couldn't risk it ... even if she wanted to.

     ❝ i hate it when you’re right, ❞     he mumbles —— at least about this, doesn’t usually mind but he wants nothing more than to curl up in bed with her and not leave. he pulls off the covers before pushing himself off the bed, running a hand over his face.     ❝ do we have time for breakfast? ❞     not quite sure what time it is, but wouldn’t mind a few more minutes in her presence while enjoying breakfast together.
