Lila gets in her bed and puts her phone on charge before going to sleep

It's been a good few minutes and Lila keeps tossing and turning, she ends up debating if she should go downstairs and join the girls

After a few more minutes she gets up and makes her way downstairs

She walks into the relaxation room and finds them trying to decide on what to watch

Chloe: What about Titanic?
Lila: * chuckles* Chlo no. We'd all end up in tears. Including me.

They all look at Lila and invite her to come sit with them

Lila goes to sit on the floor but Alessia pulls her onto her lap, which Lila is glad she did, she wanted to cuddle with her

Chloe: That's just cause your soppy when it comes to the film mate.
Lucy: Ooh! Lilas been called out!

The girls laugh

Lila: You know me too well Chlo.
Chloe: What are best friends for?
Lila: * smiles* Love you.
Chloe: Love you too.
Lila: What about Toy Story?
Keira: Yes.

The girls agree to watch Toy Story and Lila watches the entire thing contently all while sitting comfortably on Alessias lap

Alessia: * draws patters on Lilas inner thigh, kisses her neck and whispers* This is your favourite film isn't it?
Lila: * smiles, turns to face her, runs her hand through Alessias hair and whispers back* Obviously. It's the best.
Alessia: * smiles, kisses her cheek and whispers* Your too cute for your own good.
Lila: * rolls her eyes*

Lila then continues watching

Chloe offers Lila some popcorn which she gladly takes

Lila: * frowns and whispers to Chloe* Is this Sweet and Salted?
Chloe: * whispers back* Of course. I know your favourite, that's why I got it.
Lila: * smiles and whispers* Thank you.
Chloe: * smiles and whispers* No problem Lils.

Alessia frowns, she's a bit suspicious that they were more than friends in the past, but considering how close they are she ignores the feeling

Keira picks up on this, as does Leah, Ella, Lauren and Lucy

Keira and Leah share a look

Leah shrugs even though she knows something that Keira doesn't

Eventually the film ends

Some of the girls go to bed

Keira, Lucy, Lauren, Georgia, Chloe, Leah, Lila, Mary, Ella and Alessia stay up

Lauren: Ok so there's clearly an elephant in the room. What shall we do about that?
Keira: Never Have I Ever?
Lila: * chuckles* Oh god here we go.
Chloe: Sounds good.

They all agree

Keira: Leah you start.
Leah: Ok.... Never Have I Ever..... gotten drunk right before a game?

Lila puts a finger down and drinks some of her water

The girls laugh

Chloe: * laughs* I remember that!!! Gareth benched you for the rest of the upcoming games.
Lila: * laughs* He did.
Keira: Uh.... I'll go next. Never Have I Ever...... Secretly dated someone in this room?

Chloe and Lila both drink and put a finger down

Lauren, Georgia, Leah and Lucy share a knowing look

Ella: * confused* Huh?
Lauren: Chlo and Lils dated.
Lila: Secretly.
Keira: When did this happen and why wasn't I told?!

Leah, Lila and Chloe hold back a laugh

Lila: Even Beth knew.
Keira: Beth knew before me?
Lucy: And me.
Keira: * playfully wacks Lucy*
Chloe: Ok... So... The story started when we both joined Man City, after a few weeks, me and Lila had become quite close, texting daily unless at training where we would talk for ages.
Lauren: I was the first person to actually call them like girlfriends. Both of them went bright red.
Chloe: That we did.
Lila: Yep.
Chloe: Soon I gained a crush on her.
Lila: Same here.
Chloe: But because of our friendship and how close we were.... I didn't want to ruin things. As did Lils.
Lila: Lucy caught onto how I'd act with Chlo around and she asked me if I had a crush on her. I didn't deny it but I never said I did either.
Lucy: I took that as a yes.
Lila: Lucy told me to shoot my shot and it was never spoken of again but we always shared glances and laughed about it. After about a month of not saying anything to each other about the crush. Chloe and I met up at her house and just dumped everything. How we felt. Everything.
Chloe: Lila then asked me if I wanted to go on a date and she took me on a picnic date, it was adorable.
Lila: Long story short, we asked each other to be girlfriends but we both agreed to only tell a few people because of media and attention etcetera, etcetera. I told Leah and Beth. I made Leah and Beth swear to secrecy and * chuckles* clearly Leah made sure Beth never told a soul. We both told Lauren, G and Lucy, I may or may not have told Ellen because I trusted her with it.
Chloe: We dated for about 1 year but ended things because we felt we were more friends than lovers. And we've been close ever since.
Ella: Wow.
Chloe: We have never told anyone else about this so this stays between all of us yeah?
Mary: Definitely. I can actually see you two being together.
Lila: We were but just.... in the past.

Alessia feels slightly jealous but knows that it was in the past so she shouldn't, but her possessiveness over Lila sometimes gets the better of her

Leah: * chuckles lightly* I'm suprised we all kept it a secret for that long.

Lauren, Lucy and Georgia laugh with her

Alessia: * frowns slightly and holds Lila close to her* Why didn't you tell me about that?
Lila: It was ages ago. I didn't want anyone else to know. I'm sorry.
Alessia: Ok. I'm gonna go to bed. See you girls tomorrow.

Alessia leaves

Lila: She's upset isn't she?
Ella: Don't worry. She'll be fine.
Lila: * sighs and feels terrible* Fuck sake man.
Leah: Hey Lils it's ok. You wanted it kept private. She'll understand. Just give it time.
Lila: Can we watch another film please?
Keira: Sure.

They put on Pirates Of The Caribbean and The Curse Of The Black Pearl
