once i had trained for twenty minutes me and mason both go back inside.
"what do you want to do?" he asks me
"mount and chilwell." one of the coaches says, "just who i was looking for."
"nothing to be scared of." they says, "just a meeting. please follow me."
when we get to the meeting room everyone else was already sat down, the coach must of been sent to look for us. there were two seats left and we both sit down.
"okay thank you everyone for joining me." gareth starts saying
"i need to piss." mason whispers in my ear making me laugh
one of the staff members stood next to us gives me and mason a death stare as we both try hold in our laughter.
"so just running over the fixtures, san marino home, albania home, andorra away." gareth continues
"and training coaches is there any updates on the gym refurbishing?" he asks them
"no like seriously y/n i can't hold it." i hear mason say
"stop gareth's gonna kill us." i say trying to ignore him
suddenly mason grabs my hand and squeezes it.
"are you joking?" i ask
"i haven't gone, i just need the support." he whispers still squeezing my hand biting his lip
"mason, y/n, can you repeat was suzie just said about the gym?" southgate asks
"oh err..." mason says
"..." i keep quiet
"i'd like to speak to you two at the end please." he says, "everyone else may go."
the squad get out of their seats, phil walks past and looks at me before i realise mason was still holding my hand. i quickly let go but he's already gone.
"right you two." gareth says, "care to explain what you were bsuy gossiping about instead of listening?"
"look gareth i'd love too, but if i don't go now, these chairs will get ruined." mason says
"excuse me?" southgate asks
"y/n explain." mason says running out of his seat
"he needs the toilet." i say
"so that was what was so important?" he asks
"yeah sorry about that..." i say
"alright go on then." gareth says
"thank you see you later." i say exiting the room
i go back to my room and check my phone to see phil has messaged me
𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗻: Sleeping with Mase are we?
𝘆/𝗻: what?
𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗻: Look I know we're not on good terms, but I wouldn't just go sleep with another girl??
𝘆/𝗻: what? i'm so confused
𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗻: I saw you holding Mason's hand in the meeting, and you've been hanging out a lot
𝘆/𝗻: we're just friends
𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗻: And you want me to believe this?
𝘆/𝗻: you know what just fuck off phil
there was a knock at the door and it was mason.
"hey wanna hang out?" he asks me
"i don't think now is a good time... sorry." i say
"what's up?" mason asks
"..."
"you can tell me." he says
"phil thinks we're sleeping together." i say
"𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞?." mason chuckles
"what?" i ask
"i wasn't gonna tell you this y/n. but might as well? i've backed off for a while now cause phil's my mate, but it's clear you two aren't working " he says
"don't tell me if me and someone else are working or not? you don't know anything." i say
"i do. i know that i really like you." mason says
"well sorry but i don't feel the same way..." i say
"but it's not like you're taken are you? so what about getting to know me?" he asks
he was right, me and phil weren't together.
"that's not the reason, i like you as a friend." i say
"you tell me you like phil as a friend." mason says
but i don't like phil as a friend. and i was so stupid of letting myself think he was only a friend.
"excuse me i'm coming through." i hear a familiar voice say
"ugh it's you." mason says
"it's me her boyfriend." phil says, "now piss off."
"you're not her boyfriend." mason says
"you don't know shit." phil says, "now i think i told you to piss off? did you hear that y/n?"
"yeah i heard you." i say
"good so someone's ignoring me." phil says looking at mason
"come in." i say to phil who pushes past
i close the door behind him
"what i said out there, i didn't mean it. i know we aren't a couple." phil says
"oh i hoped you did mean it." i say
"what?" he asks
"i was holding back. i do really like you, i just wasn't letting myself believe it." i say
"you really like me huh?" phil smirks
"a lot." i say
"i guess i could say the same about you." he says
"can you ask me out?" i ask
"that's not how it works." phil chuckles
"do you think i care?" i ask
"knowing you, probably not." phil says
