dreams to reality

13.

It's match day and it was a noon kick off so I was up early. I had breakfast and headed to the training ground to get on the bus, we eventually left and had some weird conversations about whether tomatoes were fruit, because this would mean ketchup would be a smoothie. It confused me. We arrived I was greeted by our media team outside I shot them a wink and went inside with the team. There was amazing vibes and I was in charge of the music, everyone seemed to love the music I put on. I footbed out I was starting and as the stadium started to fill up I got a little sweaty, I don't normally get nervous but I felt the nerves in the stadium.

As we walk out for kick off I heard cheers from the fans. We knew what we needed to do.

2' goal for Man City, Bella smith

"It was an unbelievable start for Man City, the first 30 minutes were electric, what happened to them?"

93' chance missed, Lucy bronze header is saved. Corner to Man City.

It was now or never, I tried to loose cuthbert who was marking me, I twist and turn before the ball is played I jump up for the ball, I connect but everything went black. Before I knew it I was on the ground hearing gasps, I try to open my eyes but see a blur, the ball is scrambling in the box, I get to my knees and the ball is kicked off me, it went into the back of the net. Everyone went crazy, i got up and everyone was jumping around cheering. I jogged to the corner with my team, my vision was a blur but right now all I cared about was that we won.

The game ended after what felt like a really long minute. I was walking to shake hands but I fell to my knees, the medics rushed over and gave me water. They told me to keep drinking, I still shook the Chelsea players hands, Ellie ran up to me but immediately stopped after seeing I was not in the mindset to jump about. "You are unreal smith" she says, "thanks" I replied while sitting down in the dug out. My vision began to get clear and so I went with the rest of the girls to the fans. They were all shouting on me so I took photos and signed a few things, everyone I saw had a huge smile on their face which made me smile. I was soon called over for a post match talk for the BBC.

"What a game, I mean how did that even happen?" A male voice spoke, I didn't recognise him.

"To be honest I don't even know myself, this result means so much to me and the girls, we lost of flow in the first half but the second half was unbelievable"

"I bet Jonas will be kicking himself now, he must of thought it wasn't possible for a comeback from city" Alex spoke.

"These group of girls are different class. I mean it looked impossible but its football and anything could happen" I reply with a big smile.

"An England call up must be coming?" Alex said

"yeah maybe" I laugh awkwardly.

They ask a few more before Alex makes a comment.

"I saw Leah in the stands, it's really nice for her to come and support you" she said which made me confused. Leah was here?

"She is? I haven't saw her" I said searching fthrough the fans.

I excuse myself and thank them.

I scan everyone until my eyes eventually land on her. She is here. I run right over to her, she was over the barrier so I climbed over and gave her a huge hug. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I say, "shush children are here, I came to see you silly" she says. I wanted to smash my lips on hers but it would bring too much attention. "I can't believe your here, I was going to see you tomorrow" I say smiling, "tomorrow is too far" leah says which makes me laugh. We walked around to the tunnel talking about the game.

"Okay now you go get showered cause you stink and I'll be waiting outside" leah says, "how rude, I smell like flowers" I say making us both laugh. I reluctantly go inside, greeted by a smiley Ellie roebuck. "Umm whatcha staring at?" I ask her walking into the changing room, "you n leah huh?" Ellie says making me go red, "she came to watch isn't it nice?" I say not wanting to go down that road. "Veryyyyyy nice of her, I mean teammates definitely do that" she says as I pack up my things. "Yep and now I'm away to go shower" I say walking away.

It was roughly half an hour later, I showered and had the team talk. As I walked outside I see Leah standing beside my car talking to Alex. "Hey superstar" Leah says making me blush, "hi Bella, well done today. I'm away to catch my train so I'll talk soon" she says, we say bye and I unlocked the car.

We talked for the hole ride to my flat. "Cuppa?" I ask her as I put down my bag. I didn't get a reply, I turn around and she was right behind me. "Umm" was all I could get out. Before I knew it she crashed out lips together. One hand was on my lower back and the other was latched onto my neck.

We both pull away for air and smile at one another, "I've been wanting to do that for along as I can remember" leah says. We kiss one more time before I pull her over to the sofa. "I've missed you so much" I say. "I've missed you more" leah says before giving me a quick kiss.

"I'm sorry to ruin the moment but my train is in an hour" leah says making made me smile, "your not sad I'm leaving?" Leah questions me. "That's funny cause my train leaves in an hour" I say before kissing her. "Cuppa?" Leah asks making us burst out laughing. "Very funny, but yes please" I say.

We sit about for roughly half an hour, I text the girls and let them know I couldn't make games night since I was going back to London, they understood and said they'll see me Monday. I asked Ellie to drop me and Leah off at the train station and she agreed.

When we arrived in London I couldn't be happier, leah noticed and gripped onto my hand leading me off the train. When we left I recognised the car parked outside. I see Beth and Anna practically run out of the car. They both run up to me and hug me, "we've missed you so much" Beth said eventually letting go of me. "I missed you guys too, how is everyone" I ask them, "they're okay" Anna said. They wouldn't stop asking me about city and everyone and I saw Leah getting a bit annoyed. I squeezed her hand and flashed her a smile. They dropped us off at my house and I thanked them, "I'll see you two tomorrow" I said as I got out of the car.

When I opened the door to my house I pulled Leah in pushing her up against the door. "No interruptions" I say as I give her a passionate kiss, we pull away and Leah chucked her phone on the sofa and smirked. This is going to be a fun night.
