We're Not Friends || Shaw

5.

Hannah was grateful that her sunglasses blocked the way she was staring at Luke while he was training. It was their first training in Denver, Colorado. She couldn't believe the altitude. She fanned her face, grateful that she was not doing the running.

"Do the guys look slower to you?" Marie asked.

"I was just thinking that," Hannah nodded, "probably the altitude on top of the jet lag."

"Yeah the air is so thin," she shook her head, "who were you thinking about interviewing?"

"I think a joint interview with Jesse, Dean, and Adnan. They've all been in the academy," Hannah said, "good chance for them to meet the young kids."

"Good plan. Also would be interesting to talk with Luke and Ander. They only had a couple weeks in Manchester before travelling."

"True. We can do both. I doubt Edward is going to get mad about too many interviews."

"True. Which ones do you want to film versus writing an article?" Marie tilted her head before raising her camera to get a few shots.

"Definitely want to film the interview with Dean, Andan, and Jesse. I think an article with Luke and Ander would be fine because I just filmed interviews with them. I'll probably wait until we're in Michigan to talk to them. I also want to talk with Ryan and Louis."

"Sounds like you have a plan."

"Kinda yeah. I did a decent amount of research. You know I like to be prepared."

"That's a nice way of saying you're an anal control freak," Marie smirked.

"Remind me why we're friends?"

Hannah picked up her own camera. She needed to take videos to create content for the social media team as well as the official Manchester United website. She did quite enjoy taking videos and editing them. It was something she was used to doing on her own. She enjoyed having a team to help her, but she was fine doing it herself. She spent many a late night doing video editing at her kitchen table.

"I cannot wait to start editing."

"Edward was so impressed with all the videos I showed him when I was bragging about how awesome of a journalist you are," Marie smiled.

"Thanks," she grinned.

Hannah couldn't help but film Luke. He looked so good. She regretted telling him that she just wanted to be friends. She was sure that he would be an incredible boyfriend. He was so caring and supportive. He always made her smile. And on top of that, he was hot and had a nice ass as Marie said a bunch of the young England players had.

Hannah fanned her face a little bit, feeling a bit hot. She looked down at her phone and saw that it 35 degrees out. She shook her head trying to get the ringing out of her ears. After a few minutes, it hadn't gone away, and she was feeling a little faint.

"Hey I'll be right back," she said to Marie, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Okay."

Hannah quickly packed up her camera and placed it in the shade with Marie's equipment. She hurried towards the tunnel that would take her down into the hall where the locker rooms were. She kept walking before asking a security guard where the bathrooms were.

When Hannah got into the bathroom, she leaned her head against the marble counter and took a few deep breaths. She splashed some cold water on her face. She sighed and leaned against the wall. She had a splitting headache. She closed her eyes and leaned her head into her hands.

"You can do it," she muttered to herself, "you're fine."

Hannah repeated that to herself a few times before walking out of the bathroom back towards the field. As she walked towards the doors, she spotted Luke.

"Hey," he grinned.

"Hey," she smiled back, "you guys are looking really good. Little slow, but still good."

"Slow?" He raised an eyebrow at her.

"Yeah. I'm guessing you're all jet lagged and then the altitude, but you all still look good. I got some great videos to edit."

"Yeah all of Dean?" He laughed.

"Nah. I think I got the back of his head once or twice. Got a lot of you though."

"Did you?" He started to smirk.

"Don't get a big head. You were the closest to where I was filming," she laughed.

"Oh sure. That's why," he smirked.

"Whatever," she rolled her eyes at him again, "but seriously. You did looked great."

"Thanks," he pulled her in for a hug.

Hannah closed her eyes as she leaned her head against his chest. He gently rubbed her back. She looked up at him and smiled. She gently ran a hand up and against his cheek. She was content right there.

Before she knew what was happening, they were kissing. Luke pulled her into the locker room and pressed her up against the wall as the kissed. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he lifted her leg up by his hip.

"What's going on in here?!"
