Forever and Always

~19~

Hey guys!!! Because Jessie is making her 100th international cap today. I thought what better way to celebrate than to update with a cute soft chapter ;) As you all know this book is coming to an end soon. But I'm really grateful to all of you for reading and sticking with the story for so long. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I've enjoyed writing it. Anyways I hope you enjoy. Until next time, bye!!!

"Penny for your thoughts?"

Elliot pulls her eyes away from Jessie talking to a group of fans while Jules clings onto her back arms wrapped around her neck to look at Dylan beside her. Elliot just hums before her eyes go back to Jessie. Smiling when she sees Jessie with a look of mock hurt as Jules giggles away on her back. The fans all laughing at whatever they were saying.

"It's nothing really" Elliot shrugs before her face softens as she watches as Jessie gently puts Jules down so she can take off her jersey and give it to a young girl in the crowd not much younger than Jules.

"Which usually means something" Dylan says with a hint of a smirk.

Elliot scoffs playfully before smiling again. "You have been spending too much time with Christen I think. Drinking her profound cool aid".

Dylan looks at Elliot with a smirk, "Actually that's one of your ones". Dylan shakes her head with a smile. While she is looking at the field, you could clearly tell that's not where her focus was. "You could always read me too well and use to always say that" she says clearly reminiscing those times before she snaps out of it. "So what's up?'

Elliot shakes her head with a smile, "It's nothing bad honestly". Elliot sighs happily as she sees Jessie walking towards the dugout in front of them. "I just.... really like seeing her this happy".

Dylan smiles brightly as she watches how Elliot gazes lovingly at Jessie on the field who is still none the wiser of the adoring looks she's receiving.

Once she's nearly to the dugout, Elliot puts her thumb and forefinger in her mouth as she teasingly whistles at Jessie catcalling her. Jessie's face scrunches up at the stands before her face morphs into a smile realising just who was catcalling her.

"Put something on Fleming! Those are only for me" Elliot yells over to Jessie as Dylan gags beside her earning a nudge from the older woman.

But clearly not everyone agreed with Dylan, as the fans around them who heard cheers and cooed loudly at the couple. Jessie grinned up at them ignoring the fans as she held up a thumbs up with a blush on her face as she quickly pulled on a jacket.

Elliot tilts her head as she watches as Jessie starts to pass a ball around with Jules on the field only to be joined by a few more of the Canadian players.

"Oh that's definitely something" Dylan says watching the furrow in Elliot's brow.

But Elliot shrugs her off once more not wanting to worry the teenager. Instead she settles for a brief glance in her direction before settling back on Jules who "megged" Janine who was cheered on my Sinc and Jessie.

"Just... thinking about how lucky I am...to have all of you".

"Can you tell me a story?"

Jessie pulled her eyes away from the TV. The two had been cuddled up on the couch watching The Great British Bake Off of all things. Honestly neither of them were watching it. It was pretty much only playing for the purpose of background noise and the occasion giggle or cringe if one of the contestants messed up.

Jessie peered up at Elliot from her chest confused only to see Elliot was still mindlessly playing with her hair as her eyes were on the TV.
