After a viral TikTok of Leah Williamson's Smash or Pass game on a radio show, the England captain has taken interest of one of the biggest pop stars in the world: Izzy Styles.

Katie was right: I was moping. I thought a hot shower and watching re-runs of the Office in bed would sort my foul mood out, but It turns out my entire mood now hangs in the balance of a text message.
What has Izzy Styles done to me?
I throw another Malteser in the air to catch in my mouth when my phone rings and I almost choke on it.

"Hello?" I answer quickly - too quickly as I let out a small chorus of coughs trying to swallow the chocolate.
"Hi... Are you-" She sounds concerned, "Is everything alright?!"
I sip some water and catch my breath, "Yeah i'm fine I just, well I won't lie to you... I just choked on a Malteser."
Izzy chuckled and I closed my eyes in relief at the wave of adoration that washed over me, I loved her laugh. "You be careful! Or are you trying to off yourself so you don't have to talk to me?"
"Well actually I have been trying to talk to you today-"
"I know that's why I called!" She cuts me off, she sounds excited, almost breathless. "I've been in the studio all night working on this new song and Leah it's just ... Ah it's pure magic! We finished it in 12 hours!"
I try to match her excitement but the insecurity burns up me. Maybe i'll never be enough for her, the music, the attractive peers.. the world tours that span months and months. I don't know what I'm getting into-
"Leah?" Izzy asks again, "Are you with me?"
I shake out of my spiralling thoughts, "Yeah sorry!" I correct myself and smile even though she can't see me, "I'm glad your studio session went good!"
"I know but I just wanted to apologise... my phone died and I was so in the zone I've only just recharged it after I woke up." She says sincerely and her tone alleviates my anxiety.
"Leah I have to tell you something."
Too soon. The anxiety spikes back up.
I almost stutter, "Yeah? What's up?" I ask as I try to sound as calm as possible.
There's a slight pause as she sighs, "Last night when you mentioned you were going out with someone... I got jealous." My heart races as the warmth spreads through my chest and I can't help the smile that comes, I'm almost beaming. "Ridiculously jealous, if i'm honest."
I try not to let my amusement show as I hum in agreement.
"Can I be honest?" I ask her as she utters a soft 'of course', "I was miserable today because I thought you'd had enough of me."
She laughs incredulously, "Leah I would never have enough of you." She sighs wistfully again, "The problem is I can't get enough of you, actually."
