Fighting for Love

Chapter 2: House Rules

"So like I reminded you before we left the training ground, this is my house so I have some set of rules to come with it" Leah said sternly
"Enlighten me" i smirked
"First you'll calm down with that attitude"
I nodded, knowing it was never gonna happen
"We have to share the jobs around the house"
"I'll do the heavy lifting, I know you can't lift much" I winked, winding her up
"Already broken rule number 1" Leah rolled her eyes
Leah listed off all the rules and then eventually we started to move my stuff into my room
"You want a hand?" I asked her as she lifted a set of cupboard up the stairs
"Who do you think I am?" Leah said offended
"Just trying to help" I laughed watching as she struggled with it but to stubborn to ask for help

"And we are finished" i said dusting down my clothes, looking around the room
"Good" Leah rolled her eyes
"Rule number 1000 don't roll your eyes" i said giving her a cheeky smile
"Rule number 1000, very funny I only made 10 rules" Leah said giving a pointed look
"Might as well be 1000" I mumbled looking down
"Sorry what was that" l
"I said I'm so thankful you only gave me 10 rules to follow" I said emphasising the word only
"Hm yeah that's what I thought" Leah said walking out of the room

"Honestly mate! When I tell you how many rules Leah has made for me at mine and hers house is unbelievable" I laughed talking to Beth
"How many has she made for you?"
"10! She listed them all off when we walked into the house, didn't even let me move my stuff into the house before she started barking orders at me!" I laughed
"Break em" Beth winked
"Good idea" i smirked

"What are you two talking about?" Leah said coming standing next to me
"You and your rules for the house" i rolled my eyes
"Ah no rolling your eyes!" Leah snickered
"Let me guess that's one of the rules" Beth laughed
"No! Alex made it up for me" Leah shakes her head
"If I have to follow 10 rules you have to follow 1 rule" i shrugged with a smirk
"I think Jonas made a mistake putting you two together" Beth laughed

I've never been much off a physical touch person, growing up I was so against the idea of hugging and being close to people, I just didn't understand why you needed to touch each other to show that you like each other or are close. Now a days I understand why people show physical touch, at least I try to understand I don't understand it all the time but I'm learning, but I'm still very against it.

"Alexxxx" Beth shouted running up to me hugging me, I gave her a few seconds before getting myself out of the situation.

I think I panicked, because I don't understand why people do it and grew up like that I don't know how to react and that makes me panicked

Arsenal have this thing where at the end of the training sessions the team go round and hug each other, to make us feel more like a family....

You can only imagine how I was feeling, but I couldn't not do it... that would bring more attention to me

So I went round sort of pulling into the hug and then tapping the players back and walking off.

"What you doing?" Leah laughed, not in a judgmental way... in a sort off friendly way.
"What do you mean?" I said trying to play off
the whole thing
"You? Can't you give proper hugs" Leah asked, again not in a vicious manner... in a sort of questioning manner.
"Yeah I can" I lied through my teeth...

"What you making?" Leah asked me as I cooked dinner for us, putting her arm around my shoulder from behind looking over my shoulder at the food.
"Food" i said sarcastically, moving out of her reach.
"Top class comedian you are" Leah rolled her eyes
"Rule number 1 rolling eyes... you've just broken that" I laughed pointing the cooking spoon at her
"Yeah yeah" Leah laughed
