Ellies P.O.V

We ended up drawing with Villa 2-2, not the best result but not bad, especially away from home and Villa are playing really well at the moment too. As a team we all played really well, we just couldn't secure the win unfortunately but as always, we move onto the next.

Today is date day. Fuck. Date day? Yep, I'm still panicking about it. I'm also questioning if I made the right decision as well now, not about taking Leah on a date but about what I have planned. Especially after what Beth said about wining and dining her, which is not what I've got planned. Too late now though.

The car journey to pick Leah up is horrible, I'm trying to concentrate on driving but its hard, god, why am I so nervous? I'm sweating as well, it's freezing outside but I've got the air con on full. Fuck sake, get a grip.

Leah's P.O.V

Ping Ping

Ellie: Jonesys Joy Rides has arrived 🚗

I laugh a little at Ellies message. Right, here we go, this is it. Deep breath. I can't lie, i'm shitting it. Ive felt nervous butterflies in my stomach since the minute I woke up this morning. Im excited to see Ellie and spend some time with her but i'm nervous too. This date is actually quite important, I know it is technically only our first date but after everything that's happened, the outcome of this either needs to be that we potentially carry on and see what happens or we do actually remain friends.

Leah: 😂 I'm coming

Ellies P.O.V

Fuck. Butterflies. Here she comes.

"Hi" Leah giggles as she gets into the car

"Hi, you look nice" I smile back

"So do you" Leah replies, both of us quite obviously feeling nervous

"Ellie, its fucking freezing in here"

"Oh shit, sorry" Panic sets in as I quickly turn off the air con, flustered, quite obviously as well.

Leah starts laughing

"So were are we going?" Leah asks as I start driving off

"Ah, you'll have to see when we get there"

The rest of the journey is filled with general chit chat, mainly about the game yesterday with Villa and the odd sing a long.

"Foot golf?" Leah smirks as we arrive

"Er...yeah....well...I thought we could do something were both good at" I reply, nervously, questioning my decision

Leah starts laughing "It's a good choice, fun and casual"

Phew.

"My thoughts exactly" I smile "No pressure remember"

We head on inside and head to the first hole

"Soooo....err....foot golf, with a twist?" I say

"What do you mean?"

"Well, as this is, you know, a date, which usually means people find out things about each other, right?"

"Right?"

"So, whoever gets the ball in the hole in less shots gets to ask the other person a question, anything they want"

"Anything?" Leah asks
