A/N: The Hurricanes just won 41-6 :D :D So here's a chapter, turns out I was slumped by their losses :P
Chapter 6: Two Penalty's
Kirstie rolls over and smacks into the wall, her eyes immediately open as she reaches up to clutch her forehead. With her hand pressed against it she turns her head just slightly, now squinting because of the surprising amount of light in the room. Her eyes only widen further and her breath hitches when she realises that she hit her head on the wall only because she was in this single bed, with another person, and it wasn't her bed!
She finally takes a breath as her brain catches on that's Avi beside her, and she knows him, so that's okay, but still. She lifts the sheet to take a peak and immediately slams the covers back down, then with her other arm she whacks the man beside her in the chest. His eyes don't open, but his hand shoots up to the spot she'd hit him, and he starts talking.
"Five more minutes Kev."
Kirstie starts tapping him repetitively on the chest, harder and faster until his hand takes a hold of hers, stopping her. He rolls over in his tight spot and opens his eyes, he reels back. He slips a little from the bed, but stops himself from completely falling out by bracing himself on the floor with his other arm.
"Kirstie?" he says, all the while not taking his eyes off her.
She bunches the sheet up around her chest, and he lets go of her hand to stop her from taking all of the fabric, keeping himself covered in the process, but still half off the small bed.
"Fuck," Kirstie mumbles under her breath.
"I think we did," Avi tells her in all seriousness.
She springs forward with the sheet still clutched to her and punches Avi in the jaw, not enough to really hurt either of them, but enough to shock him and shut him up.
"What happened?" she asks in a panic.
Avi shakes his head as he pulls himself up to sit up in the bed, "I don't know, I mean my head kinda hurts now that I think about it."
"We slept together Avi, we were obviously drunk."
"What's that supposed to mean?" he casts a small frown at her as she sits up beside him.
"That you're not the kind of guy I usually go for," she pushes her blonde locks back in the sweeping gesture, lightly massaging her scalp as she does.
"What? Nice?"
She clenches her jaw, "You're gonna shut up or I'm going to punch you again, and this time it will actually hurt," her words turn into a hiss as her face inches closer to his.
"Is it weird that I really want to kiss you right now? Even though you're not attracted to me at all, and only slept with me because you had alcohol clouding your judgement… wait that's not my issues, I mean it hurts that you don't think I'm attractive, because I think you're beautiful. So I'm gonna say I'm happy this happened."
Kirstie is about to speak when she stops, breaking into a small smile, "You just said I was beautiful?"
He shrugs, "Well yeah, cause you are," he turns, looking partially over his shoulder at her.
"I've never been called beautiful by a guy before, it's always hot or sexy, never beautiful," her cheeks start to turn red as she looks down, playing with her hands.
"I stand by my statement."
Kirstie reaches forward, grabbing his shoulder and pulling him back to lie down on the bed. Leaning on her elbow, she hovers just slightly over him, "And I never said I wasn't attracted to you."
He reaches up to tuck a few stay strands of hair behind her ear, as she bites her lip, staring down at him. He places his hand on the back of her head as she leans closer to connect their lips in a slow passionate kiss. Avi snakes his other around her waist as she leans closer to him, deepening the kiss.
Almost carefully, Avi turns them over so he was hovering above her, starting to trail kisses down her neck and shoulder.
"You do realise that this is going to have to be our little secret right?" she tells him, slightly out of breath.
"Yeah," Avi mumbles into her neck.
"If the team found out then, well any respect I've gained, which is barely any, will be gone, and I can't have that. To run the backline smoothly I'll need respect."
"You have mine, I'm backline," he tells her, leaning up on his elbows to look at her properly.
"But Darrien? Jake? Kevin? Todrick? And… Beauden? Worst of all him."
With a sigh, Avi sits up in the bed, "He respects you Kirstie, he knows how good you are, Beauds? He's just a little surprised I guess, upset maybe because he's always played fly half. But he does respect you Kirstie," he nods surely. "But you're right, we can't tell them, no one, Kevin is my best friend and I won't even tell him. But that might be hard since I share this room with him, and so he might already know, in which case we can trust him with the secret."
"Well in all fairness I'd say I'd want to tell my best friend, except I can't because she has this thing where she can't keep them, and worst of all she's dating our captain. All in all telling Marley would defeat the purpose of a secret," she huffs.
"So to clarify, the only one who can know is Kevin, and that's only if he already knows? Oh… what about Esther? I don't usually not tell my sister things."
Kirstie turns to him with an 'are you kidding me' look, "So you tell your sister all about your sex life do you?" she raises an eyebrow as Avi turns red.
"No I don't, I didn't think of it like that."
Kirstie's slight smirk drops as she fully realises where Avi was, "This is just sex right? I mean I'd want to tell people if I were in a relationship, so it can't be that okay."
Avi nods quickly, "Oh yeah, I knew that… totally knew that," he gives her a half smile then looks around the room nervously.
"I'm sorry if that's what you wanted Av-"
"No it's fine, I totally understand where you're coming from. You don't want a relationship with another team member defining you instead of you talents. I do understand what you're saying Kirst." He gives her another half-smile, this time more genuine, but fake.
