Always and Forever

nine

Today has been a good day so far.

Today started off with some early morning training which went well. Now, i am in the cafeteria with the team for some lunch. I sam sat at a table with Leah, i am at one side and Leah is at the other and we are both on our phones.

"hi sociable friends"
I heard Beth shout from across the cafeteria. I looked up and saw her with her camera out. I just smiled.

"hey"
I looked back at my phone for a few minutes before putting it down and looking back at Beth who's camera was pointed at me.

"are you zooming in?"
I asked, laughing.

"Yeah because you're being antisocial, you and Leah aren't talking, had a wee fall out?"
Leah was now looking at Beth smiling.

"Of course not. Right babe?"
Leah asked, smirking at me.

"Course not"
I said, returning the smirk.

"Does she ever smile?"
Anna asked as her and Beth walked over to Leah who was no longer smirking.

"only when she's around"
Viv said, appearing out of nowhere.

"who?"
Anna asked.

"hey, Leah?"
I said and Leah almost instantly broke into a smile.

"Sophie"
Viv said, smiling.

Leah kept smiling and stood up. She walked over to me and stuck a hand out, i took it and she pulled me up out of the seat, Leah then sat down before pulling me down onto her lap. Leah put her arms around me and rubbed her hand down my side. My stomach was full of butterflies and i couldn't concentrate on the three girls, Viv, Beth and Anna who were smirking at me. I couldn't concentrate until Beth started laughing.

"you should see your face"
Beth laughed.

"why?"
I asked, confused.

"you're bright red"
Anna said, joining in on the laughing.
Leah looked at my face before whispering into my ear.

"am i embarrassing you, princess?"

"princess, really? No but you're making me nervous"

"sorry baby girl"

"Leah, stop"

"okay babe, whatever you want"

"baby, please"
I could feel my face getting redder and redder.

"excited to play city?"
Anna asked as her, Beth and Viv sat down at mine and Leah's table.

"of course. It will be a good game"

"excited to see your english friends?"
Viv asked. I looked at Leah and smiled.

"yeah. I'm excited to see Ellie and Hempo"
Leah, upon hearing Ellie's name, gently removed me from her lap before walking away. Leah went and sat with Jordan, Katie, Lotte and other's. I just sat down and laughed a little.

"what's wrong with her?"
Asked a confused Beth Mead.

"she's just jealous"
I responded.

"why?"
Viv asked.

"because Ellie is my best friend but according to Leah and quite a lot of people, Ellie has a crush on me. She's just jealous because i am quite close to Ellie but there's most definitely nothing there and it's funny that she gets jealous. I don't even think Ellie does like me but even if she does, Leah's my person so it won't change anything"

"the Leah Williamson jealous. Never thought i'd see the day!"
Beth exclaimed. I just sat back and laughed.
