“About time you woke up, I was getting worried.” Justin teased playfully as he watched his girlfriend stirring as she was waking up from last night’s sleep. “Jetlag is a real pain.” He smiled as he walked over to her with his towel around his waist. He placed a soft kiss onto her lips, humming softly. “Kai got Jake this morning, you were asleep but don’t worry, I made sure he had his shoes on and his overnight bag packed. He had breakfast as well.” Justin smiled. “I have a surprise for you.. It’s in the closet on the counter.”

Ryan was lying in bed, watching as Makenzie was getting dressed. “So do you sleep with all of the players you interview?” He asked with a smug look on his face. He chuckled as he sat up then leaned down to put his leg brace back on. “Or just the injured ones who are currently out for the season?” He added with a slight tease. The two have been fooling around for a bit but they didn’t make anything official because maybe it was better for them to not get too attached because of their careers kept them apart. But Ryan was getting to the age where he couldn’t live the bachelor life anymore, his parents were requesting he settle down with a nice girl already.

Grayson was out for the next month and a half, he was having a difficult time laying around and not doing much except for the physical therapy that he was told that he needed to complete in order to fully recover. He was holding himself up as he worked out his hip in the living room with his physical therapist, “Fuck.” he hissed out in pain as he gripped onto the bars for support. “This is bullshit!” he exclaimed as he moved to lay back onto the bed that was put in the living room since Grayson couldn’t walk up the stairs. 

Oliver was smiling at their daughter, she was a spitting image of her mother and it made his heart skip several beats. He didn’t want to go on this trip but he knew they had to take a break from their stressful lives and strengthen their relationship. He stood by the crib and cooed at their baby girl, grinning and making silly faces to get the giggles that made him the happiest man. Oliver called his parents to come to the states to help Casey’s parents with the eight month old. He smiled when his mother in law walked into the room he was practically kicked out. He sighed and walked into the master bedroom, “Your mum kicked me out again,” he stated, shaking his head and rolling his eyes as he climbed into the bed, “How are you feeling?”

Grayson was sitting in his seat of the private plane that was taking the newly wedded couple to the United Kingdom for their second wedding since Annabelle’s mother was adamant about them getting married again but the ‘proper’ way. He looked over at his wife then over at the security team as well as their friends, whom were all occupied. He smirked when he looked back at her and began sucking onto her neck, “I need you..” he whispered as he unbuckled her seat belt.

Carmen was in town for a story and of course to watch her brother play the game the family loved maybe even more than football. She was surprising her brother and take him out to lunch with herself and Chase but she was a bit caught off guard when Grayson didn’t open the door. She frowned then raised an eyebrow, glancing back at the address. “I’m sorry, I must have the wrong house.. Does Grayson Kyle Aiken live here?” she asked the woman, whom she never seen or heard about. She knew of her brother’s antics when it came to women and how quickly they came and went. “I’m his sister.” she clarified as she stared down the woman. Carmen stood down when she saw her baby brother walking over, “Gray!” she grinned and hugged him after rushing inside, it had been a few months since they last saw each other in person and of course she’d never say out loud but her favorite brother was Grayson. She finally focused her attention on Annabelle, “So how do you know my brother?” she asked, smirking.
