                 HANNAH GROANED AS she heard the banging on the door to her hotelroom the following morning, desperately trying to block it out as she hid her head underneath the pillow. However, as she was finding herself growing more and more irritated by the minute, she decided to see who it was. She tucked the covers tightly around herself, growling an unhappy ' what ' to whoever was on the other side of the door, only to realize it was Harry and Jordan.


               "Good, you're here." Jordan sneered in response to her growl, before heading back to his room, leaving Harry standing awkwardly outside her room.


                 "Sorry, it was Jordan's idea." Harry mumbled tiredly. "Had it been up to me, we'd have waited until it was eight in the morning at the earliest—,"


               "What is the time?" Hannah yawned, desperately clinging onto the warmth from her covers. "Please don't tell me it's earlier than six, this is literally the only morning I really get to sleep in."


"It's not earlier than six—,"


"It's five past six." Jordan scoffed, his brows furrowed as he looked at directly at Hannah. "You got back late. Don't think I didn't notice; I've got eyes and ears everywhere."


                  The journalist rolled her eyes, shutting the door in the faces of the two footballers, before returning to the comfort of her hotel–bed. However, she didn't get to even fall asleep again, before her phone lit up, signalling she had gotten a message. Though she had not looked at the mobile device, she already knew what it was — or, more specifically, who it was from. She had avoided texting Marie anything about her evening with Jesse, knowing that the Scot would go off the rails as she sought every single detail.


However, it seemed as if she had found out what she needed; and now she came for more.























TEXT MESSAGES
MARIE 😡







MARIE 😡
wow so we're dating without
telling each other now? that
✨ hurts ✨


HANNAH

MARIE 😡
i have contacts, and i was served
photos of you and one mr jesse
lee soffer out for drinks last night


MARIE 😡

something you want to tell me?


HANNAH
i was working, a kind guy came over
and asked if i wanted to go out for
drinks with him. i said yes, we did
and that's it. nothing more, nothing
less.


MARIE 😡
now that's a lie but ok


HANNAH
what makes you think that???


MARIE 😡
one, i know you better than you
know yourself


HANNAH
now that's a lie


MARIE 😡
shitface i pressed send too early,
will you please just let me finish
my messages before judging?


MARIE 😡
jesus christ you've been friends with
me too long


MARIE 😡
two, you haven't looked at someone the
way you looked at jesse, since luke


HANNAH
why are you still pushing this luke thing?


MARIE 😡
because basically the entire squad knows
and you two still keep on denying it 🤷🏻‍♀️


MARIE 😡
anyway, there were paparazzis that
spotted you, hannah. there will be rumors,
people are going to talk. i know you think
you thought everything through, but there
are always one or two paps who outsmart
everyone


HANNAH
speaking from experience?


HANNAH
let the rumors come; me and jesse are
nothing more than friends, okay? i can't
see why you're having such a hard time
accepting that


MARIE 😡
because i know you, hannah


MARIE 😡
you don't think with your head, you
think with your heart. that's going to
get you hurt one day, and i don't want
it to be with some idiot hollywood actor


HANNAH
actually he's a chicago actor


MARIE 😡
yeah yeah whatever


HANNAH
it's not whatever but ok


MARIE 😡
you know my geographical span
stretches from bearsden to glasgow
to manchester, and then i just get on
the team bus and travel wherever that
goes for matches


MARIE 😡
bold of you to assume i'll be having any
control of american geography


HANNAH
your point though?


MARIE 😡
ah yes, of course. tell me about him.


HANNAH
in order to give you a solid reason to
steal him, or?


MARIE 😡
oh god no, he's not my type


HANNAH
your type is literally guys with
brown hair and blue eyes. jesse
is a guy with brown hair and blue
eyes


MARIE 😡
there's a difference, but that doesn't
matter to you or to me because i want
to hear why you like him


HANNAH
why does it matter? he's a friend, and
that's what he will be. nothing more.


MARIE 😡
sure right okay as if i believe you


HANNAH
you're unbelievable


MARIE 😡
just speaking from experience. after
all, wasn't this the exact same thing
i said about juan?
