Shaking her hair back out of her face, she grinned up at him,<strong>"Of course I am, are you kidding?!"</strong>She gave him her best 'grrr' face which involved more wrinkling of her nose than anything.<strong>"I'm totally making this team, Rafe. It's been decided. The stars have aligned, Fate is on my side."</strong><br/><br/>"Yeah, okay<em>Priestess</em>," Rafe snorted and reached out to ruffle his little sister's hair, "You just make sure you don't kick back too much and miss out."<br/><br/><strong>"Umm... have you forgotten who you're talking to?!"</strong>She gave him an incredulous look. Aurora might talk a lot of crap--like, a LOT of crap--but she backed up with hard work and intensity. She didn't know how to give less than her all in anything. Basketball might have been her first love but that didn't mean she was any less dedicated to seeing this through.<br/><br/>Her brother laughed and drew her into a tight hug. "You're right, what the hell was I thinking. I should be telling you not to hurt anyone. These will be your teammates after all." He kissed her forehead then let her go, looking over at a couple of girls who passed by. The looked at him and then giggled amongst themselves. "Damn... hope they didn't get the wrong idea," he hissed as he continued to look after them. He might not be big on playing sports himself but he was an avid fan and had a very serious thing for athletic women, especially the bossy types.<br/><br/><strong>"Dios mio, Rafe."</strong>Aurora shoved him away with a laugh.<strong>"Go home now. You're hereby free of your brotherly obligation to drop me off. Your mission is complete. I don't wanna see you up here til I call you!"</strong><br/><br/>"What?! I'm just saying." He tried to look sweet and innocent and failed. Finally he held up his hands. "Alright, alright. I'll go. But remember you said you'd keep some feelers out for me in case they had vacancies on the training staff. I would so make sure your teammates got all the tlc they needed after practice and games."<br/><br/><strong>"Ew."</strong>Aurora made a face.<br/><br/>"Hey. I did you a solid..."<br/><br/><strong>"Yeah, yeah. Alright. Fine. I'll call you if I hear anything."</strong>And she would. Despite his words she knew her brother had worked hard to get his degree and all the proper certifications. Landing a job with a sports team, even one that was struggling to really get off the ground, would be a step in the right direction for him. However, that wasn't her focus at the moment.<br/><br/>After saying goodbye to Rafe for the final time, she waved him and his yellow Mustang off then headed for the lobby of the apartment complex thinking it was certainly nicer looking than she'd expected. Dressed casually in Under Armour sweats that were rolled to sit low on her hips while being hitched midway up her calves, an orange t-shirt that ended only a few inches beneath her bottom of her sports bra, and clean Nikes, she didn't figure she'd make too big a wave prior to training camp, which was what she was aiming for. Well, if you ignored the wide grin covering her face and the sparkle in her brown eyes that telegraphed just how excited she was for this all to begin.<br/><br/><strong>"Well now, Rora, here we go..."</strong>
