Willow grabbed the final things and placed them in her bag as she was trying to get back to Leicester,
"You in a rush to somewhere?" Esme joked as she stood against the arch of the girl's room,
"Yep," Willow didn't even turn around to see the girl,
"Why," the Spaniard asked as she sipped her tea,
She was the only girl in the flat that disliked coffee.
"Nothing," the Australian shook her head not wanting to go into many details,
But of course, Esme would get it out of her in a few minutes.
"Nah Nah Nah missy drop the bags," the older girl shook her head as she stopped the girl from continuing to pack,
"Why are you leaving?" She added crossing her arms curiously,
"Because," the sports pundit mumbled as the older girl motioned for her to continue,
"Benandihavekindakissed," she added and was surprised that she was able to get everything out in one breathe,
"Repeat but like ten times slower," the teacher felt her eyes go wide as she wondered what she just heard,
"Ben and I have kinda kissed," the younger girl finally repeated in much slower tone letting her words get punctuated,
"Holy shit when?" Esme asked as she let out a gasp,
"When we made pasta," Willow motioned to the smell of the pasta drying,
It was basically the normal smell of the flat.
"Wait so why are you going up to Leicester?" The Spaniard asked assuming that it would be the first place that Willow would go,
"Because I'm doing what I always do, run." The Australian explained in a duh tone as she continued folding her football jersey from James,
She couldn't risk going to one of his games without it.
"But why though," the teacher cocked her head as she couldn't understand why the girl was so set on going,
"Ben regrets it," the sports pundit let out a sigh as she turned to her roommate,
"How would you know about it?" The older blonde asked as she confused Willow.
"What?" The younger blonde turned around as she cocked her head,
"How would you know if he regretted it?" The Spaniard asked wondering how the Rivers child could have possibly known it.
"Because he hasn't responded to any of my three messages so yeah." The Australian explained in a duh tone hoping that she didn't piss the older boy off.
"You don't know what that means." The older blonde shook her head seeing how deflated Willow looked,
"I've known him for four years, he doesn't sleep in and he always reads his messages when he wakes up at the same time every day." The only downside to knowing Ben for the longer period of time was that she knew when he was ignoring her too,
"Go to Leicester but give him a chance, you don't know what happened." Esme nodded trying to hint to Willow that she shouldn't be thinking the worst.

Ben finally hopped out of the shower and made himself a coffee,
He had a much slower morning routine after he realised he forgot to charge his phone before he fell asleep,
Meaning that he hadn't seen any of Willow's messages because it was dead.
"Fucking hell," Ben let out a groan as he saw the messages from the girl
Hey Ben,
I am heading up to Leicester and wanted to know if you want me to grab anything,
Good morning btw :),
"She doesn't, no right?" Ben trailed off to himself knowing that the girl barely used symbols as emojis unless she wasn't in a good mood,
"To Leicester, I go then." The football hoped that Willow would be with her sister as he didn't want to explain to James why he was there to see his sister.

Willow had spent the last ten minutes trying to prepare James for what he was about to hear,
"Woody, what are you hiding from me?" James asked as he watched the younger blonde tug on the rings on her fingers,
"Ben and I kinda kissed and I don't want you to be mad because I kinda think that I like him." Willow cut her rambling off as she heard what she had just said and it shocked her,
"Cool," the footballer nodded as he sat back on his chair,
"Cool? That's all I get!" The sports pundit let out a groan as she grew annoyed,
"What do you want me to say," the older blonde shrugged wondering if it just so happened to mean that Willow was in one of her moods,
Where nobody is right at anything.
"I don't know, I just assumed that you would be mad." The younger blonde responded in a duh tone assuming that James would have gone all protective on her.
"Willow I'm not going to be mad, you even said it yourself. You knew Ben first, I'm only going to be mad if one of you hurt the other." The Brit explained as the girl nodded,
"And besides it was obvious you two liked each other from the moment you introduced me to him so I can't say that I'm that shocked." He added as he crossed his arms,
"So you knew that it would happen this whole time and you never hinted to it once?" Willow sent him a harsh glare wondering why he let her think that it would be this whole big thing,
"You idiot why do you think I gave you a Chilwell shirt for your birthday?" James smirked as he realised that the girl didn't pick up the reason behind her gift.
"Because it's a Chelsea shirt?" It was the team that she had been assigned to so in her eyes it made a lot of sense.
"You're an idiot and I hope you know that," the football shook his head as the younger girl let out a scoff,
"Hey!" The sports pundit threw a pillow at the older boy
"Wait I think Kelci just sent me a message." Willow pulled out her phone to see a message,
There's a surprise out back of mine, come check it out
"I have to go to Kelci's but this isn't over Mr." The younger blonde warned as she got off of the couch wondering what on earth could have been at her sister's house.
