PURPLE - Trent Alexander-Arnold

TWENTY FOUR

2/6/2018

1 week ago Liverpool had lost in the Champions League final and ever since Ella had been anxious to see Trent. The Liverpool players had been given the week off and tomorrow was the day they would come to England International Duty, Trent still called Ella every night but she could tell the defeat had hit him hard

But tomorrow being the day they returned meant today was the day England played a pre World Cup friendly against Nigeria and Ella was nervous as hell

They had a calm morning training that was mainly focused on technique for each position and final preparations. They had a nice team lunch outside to try calm everyone's nerves and at 2:30 they all had to get onto the team bus

Ella sat with Beth at a table along with Ruben and Kiera, they spent the half an hour ride playing cards which Ruben turned out to be awful at

They arrived at Wembley at 3 and the cameras photographed them all getting off the bus which overwhelmed Ella since there were more cameras than when she played for Chelsea

Vardy got off behind her and could see her nerves rebuilding so he put a hand on her back and led her inside Wembley, they all dropped their bags in the changing room before heading onto the pitch to walk about

Ella jumped onto Marcus' back and he ran with her on his back, making her laugh happily. He dropped her down and her and the Mancunian went to talk with Dele and Lucy for a while

From behind them John Stones poked a hole in his water bottle and sprayed it down Marcus' shirt, Ella jumped away but he chased after her and she ran to hide behind Gary Cahill. Gary pulled her back in front of him so she got sprayed by John's water instead of him and she laughed

"You're bullying me!" she giggled

"You're just small so it's funny," Harry Kane teased

"Shut up," she glared at him playfully "And you're very lucky I'm in my hoodie not the white shirt or I'd kill you,"

"Try me," Stones grinned and she rolled her eyes

"By the way, turn around," Harry said

"Why? So you lot can soak me again?" she said

"No but you should seriously turn around,"

"I will if you tell me why," she countered

"Because you'll want to," He said

"Says who?"

"Maybe Trent," he pointed over her shoulder and she whipped around. And there he was coming out of the tunnel with Henderson, he was already looking at her and his face broke out in a smile

"Oh my god," she whispered and felt her emotions begin to surface. Trent brushed past the team and manager nearby him and made his way straight towards her, Ella didn't notice the team filming them and she ran towards her boyfriend

He pulled her into his arms and buried his face into her hair while she hid her face in his neck "I've missed you so much,"

"I can't believe you're here," she whispered and her tears clouded her eyes "Oh my god,"

"I wish I had been here," he sighed

"Trent I'm so sorry about the final, you guys deserve to win the Champions League," he pulled back and cupped her face softly

"I don't care about any of that now," his gorgeous brown eyes met her sapphire blue ones "I love you, sweetheart,"

"I love you too, curls," she whispered and closed the gap between their lips. Trent's arms circled her waist to pull her closer and Ella gripped the nape of his neck, leaning on her tip toes to be as close as possible. Kissing her was something Trent hadn't been able to do for a month and he didn't know how he survived so long without it, he forgot about losing the final, not playing tonight, getting into the Champions League, none of it mattered with her
