Riley p.o.v

I slept in leahs bed last night, it didn't feel weird or strange. It felt like home. It smelt like leah, it was calming and peaceful. Even when leah isn't there I still feel her. I can't explain how much I miss her, I wake up every morning happy because I get to talk to her and go to bed every night happy because its one sleep closer to her being back. I never wanted to feel like this with anyone, I never wanted to need someone so much that it hurts because when they leave me it destroys me. I don't want to think about that right now though. I'm happy and I want to let myself stay happy.

I go into the kitchen and see viv making some food. "hey, Ive made us some bacon rolls, I hope that's okay?" "oh viv you're a lifesaver. I'm starving. Do you want a tea or coffee?" I ask whilst sticking the kettle on. "tea please" I make our drinks and viv plates up our food. "so what would you like to do today?" viv questions. "you want to do something with me?" I ask. "obviously, who else would I want to hang out with?" shes so sweet. She really is like my best friend. "ohh leah actually said I've to take you shopping whilst she was away." viv says. "why?" "she wants you to get new things to keep here. She said I've not to let you buy your own pyjamas or jumpers because you can wear hers but you've to buy clothes that you can't wear of leahs like trousers cause hers are longer but you've got to get things for here and she cleared out a drawer for you to keep it in." oh my god she did what? "that's the sweetest thing ever." I say beaming. "calm down its just a drawers." Viv says laughing. It isn't just a drawer, it's everything to me.

We both get ready. I look through leahs clothes and I pick out one of her jumpers, one of her hats and I wore my own jeans and airforce. The jumper I picked is her arsenal training jumper with her number and name on the back. I mean she did say I could wear anything I wanted. I go down stairs and see Viv wearing her arsenal hat and training jumper too. "oh so you're the new signing" she teases. "yup. Ill give you a run for you money" I wink at her. "can we get a photo? I think it's cute we are matching." Viv ask. "of course." we take the photo and Viv puts it on her Instagram.

Caption:

"arsenal's no.1 fan! FYI this wasn't planned."

I see she tagged me in it and within seconds she has hundreds of likes. Wow. I look at the likes and comments and I see some have noticed I'm wearing leahs jumper. I forgot her number was in the photo. So many people are asking who I am. Some think I am with Viv and some think im seeing leah. Fuck. A few moments later leah calls. Oh no. "hi" I say nervously. "hey, you" she says happily. Phew. "nice choice of outfit today." she teases. "thought you'd appreciate it!" I giggle back. "I love it. Are you going out shopping in that?" her voice is deep now. She's turned on. "I am, is that okay, love?" I say softly. "mhm yeah! It's more than okay!" shes hot when she's turned on. "now, now guys. Not over the phone!" I hear Beth say in the background of leah. "again" she says a little quieter but I still heard. Excuse me? "leah?.." I say slowly. "uh, it's not.. Um.. Well... Enjoy shopping, miss ya, bye" she hangs up. This bitch. She told Beth about our phone sex. I mean I told Viv but that was an accident. She's so funny she could've just told me. Oh well I might make her sweat a little bit.

Me and Viv go shopping. The first shop we went to was, of course, Starbucks. Can't go shopping without a coffee. So now with my coffee in hand we hit the shops. I look at a couple clothes and pick up some ripped jeans and a couple dresses. I go to the pyjama section and have a wee look. "you're not supposed to be getting pyjamas" viv laughs. "it's for everyone. I'm going to get, Beth, leah, you and I matching pyjamas so when they come home we can have a movie and pyjama night." I say. "you're soppy"  "shut up" I hit her arm. Lets be honest I love pyjamas but it will be cute for us all to have matching ones. As we are shoping I can see a group of girls looking over and taking pictures. I start to get worried and viv notices. "sorry, it happens sometimes. Has it not happened when you've been out with leah?" she questions. "no, we havent really gone out. We've gone for coffee and dinners but never really been noticed. I suppose it doesn't help having the arsenal kit on and the fact youre so tall." I laugh. "it'll be fine. They'll come up with their own stories but as long as we all know the truth and we don't let it get to us." she says smiling at me. "do you want to leave?" she looks down at me. "yeah, sorry its just strange" I say quietly. "hey, come on lets pay for these and go get a coffee for the drive home. Okay?" I smile up at Viv. "yes please!" we pay for our shopping. Viv insisted she paid for mine because leah gave her money to cover my clothes and told Viv not to let me pay. She can really infuriate me sometimes. I hate that she pays for me. I dont want her to be that person for me. I appreciate it but i dont care about money or fancy things. Once we are out the shop and heading to Starbucks I see the group of girls again and they approach us. "hey can we get your autograph" they say to viv. I step back and let the girls talk to viv. I sometimes forget the girls I call my best friends and the girl that now has my heart are professional footballers. Theyre known around the world and have people queuing to meet them and here is little ol me just kicking back eating pizza with them. Its so strange but im so lucky and greatful for them. One of the girls approaches me. "what's your name?" she asks. "Riley, what's your name?" I say smiling. "Anna, are you part of the arsenal team" "no, just a friend" i say. "just a friend?" she raised her eyebrow. I laugh "yep, just a friend." I say as confidently as I could. I am the girls friend but there's a certain blonde that has my heart but I can't let that be known. We talk to the girls for a bit longer and then head home. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be." where are we going?" I ask viv. We definitely are going the wrong way home. "viv?" "sorry I took the wrong turn." "how long you lived here?" i laugh and viv pulls over and goes on her phone im assuming to check her maps. Just as we start driving again my phone rings. It's leah.
