My eyes slowly fluttered open with the sound of ringing in my ears.
'Uhhhh, why did I drink so much' you groaned whilst holding your hand on your head trying too massage yourself to take the pain away.

You knew if you went back too sleep you would be late for training... why did we even decide to go to a club when we have training the next day...

Once I had finally gotten out of bed I rummaged through my bag hoping I had packed some paracetamol. After many minutes of searching and tiping the contents in my back over the floor, I found nothing, so I grabbed the hotel phone that rings straight down to reception and dialed the number.

After many seconds of the very old ringing sound they finally picked up.

'Hey sweet how are you this morning' Gill answered
'I'm hungover... do you mind bringing up some paracetamol up for me pleaseeee' you begged with hope in your voice.
'Of course I will, I'll leave it outside your door, I won't be long'
'You are a life saver gill' you said before putting the phone back onto the hook.

~~

After taking the paracetamol I decided I would just lie in bed for a couple of minutes, recalling anything that happened tonight. I danced with complete strangers... argued with Phil, PHIL. WE KISSED. ME AND PHIL KISSED!

You lunged for your phone and grabbed it off your bedside table. Desperately you dialed your trustworthy roommates number.

'What Esme it's so early' Taylor groaned
'I went out last night' I replied
'Ok so... I'm confused... wait, who did you kiss this time' Taylor giggled
There was a pause of silence until I finally decided to answer.
'Phil, we had an argument so I stormed off, he come after me grabbed me by my arm, pushed me against the wall, and...and kissed me' Esme rambled on.
'Slow down... I'm not sure why he would kiss you if he hated you' Taylor asked with a confused tone
'Well do some of ur next level witch magic and find out'. Esme replied
'Wait, maybe he didn't hate you'. She slowly said
'What do you mean Taylor'
'I mean, what if he never actually hated you...?' Taylor questioned me

~~

After the long phone call with Taylor I realized I was late so I quickly got up, took a quick shower and grabbed my clothes and left my hotel room.

I decided I would try and avoid Phil just for today, maybe see if he would try and talk to me, but I doubt he would, we were both drunk of our heads, it was probably a mistake. Probably

~~

After arrive shortly afterwards, you take your things and drop them in your locker, you pull your hair into a high pony tail, and like every other day you grab your bib and pull it over your body. You headed out onto the field where everyone was already doing various drills.
'I'm so sorry I'm late Uncle G' I apologised
'It's fine Esme, don't worry about it, just get out there' he smiled
'Thanks G' you returned the smile before jogging out into the pitch

~~
After many hours of training and Phil staring at you, grinning and smiling, you came to the conclusion that he didn't forget what happened yesterday. You mentally screamed in your head before booting the ball for one last time into the left top corner of the goal.
'Damn Esme, that was sick' Mason said whilst patting my shoulder.
' thank you mase, I mean I've been playing my whole life really so yeah' you smiled at him
'You are so talented, you need too go on the local team or something' he suggested
'No way... I'm not good enough for that' I awkwardly laughed
You noticed mason was about too say something before he was interrupted
'You are good enough for that, if anything you're too good for them Esme'
I turned around to were the voice was coming from and saw Phil standing behind me smiling
'Uhhhh thanks?' I said, very unconvincingly.
And with that he turned and walked away off of the pitch.

~~

After getting home and going in the shower, you got into bed and switched on Netflix on your trusty laptop.  Halfway through the film my phone pings telling me I have a notification.

'You looked cute today:)' it read
'Stop stalking me Phil' you replied before shutting off your phone and carrying on with the film.
