L O V E R - a Leah Williamson story

chapter five

I got home from training at around 1pm. After the whole Leah situation we both just went back to do our routines. She wasn't mad anymore after our conversation, which made me think that she was mad because she thought I had a girlfriend. That meant she was jealous, which then meant that she could like me.

I was packing shopping up in my kitchen when I heard my ringtone go off. I looked at my phone and noticed it was Leah who was phoning me. I picked up and walked through to the living room to sit down.

"What's up Leah?" I asked while I switched the TV on and flicked through the channels. More Friends reruns would have to do.

"I was wondering, you know as an apology for today, if you would want to come over to mine?" She asked. I could tell she was nervous as she had a slight waver in her voice.

I was shocked, slightly excited, but shocked. I wasn't complaining but why was she asking me to come over at 1pm? What were we going to do?

"Now?" I asked. I realised that it probably came across that I wasn't interested which wasn't what I meant. "Not that I'm saying I don't want to, I do, I was just wondering what time." I rambled.

"No probably not now. Maybe around 7? We could order pizza and watch a movie or something?" She replied.

"Pizza? Jonas won't be happy." I laughed.

"We'll work it off tomorrow."

"Okay I'll be there." I replied.

I could already feel the nerves kicking in.

I drove to Leah's house and knocked on her door. Jesus even the outside of her house was beautiful. She opened the door and smiled at me, waiting for me to come in.

She was just wearing old joggers and a hoodie with her hair tied back and she still looked stunning. Bloody hell this gay panic was extreme. I smiled back at her and she smirked at me. She caught me staring at her outfit.

"You know if you take a picture it would last longer." She laughed, teasing me. I felt my face go bright red as I looked down and shuffled awkwardly into her house. It had been less than a minute and I had already embarrassed myself.

"You're house is beautiful Leah, wow." I said in awe. She had like a grey cosy theme going on and it was really working.

"Thank you, it took me ages to decorate." She laughed, "Come on through, I've got Netflix up. You pick something and I'll phone the pizza place."

I walked through to her living room and sat down on her couch. Holy shit it was so comfy, probably one of the best I've sat on. I picked up the remote and scrolled through the movies to find some random action one.

"What pizza are you wanting?" Leah shouted through from the kitchen.

"Just a cheese and tomato will do thanks!" I shouted back.

A couple of minutes later she walked back through and sat next to me. "I just ordered one cheese pizza for us to share, is that alright?" She asked.

"Yeah that's perfect."

She looked at the TV and looked at the movie I had picked, "I've never seen this one before." She said.

"Neither have I, we can find out if it's shit or not." I laughed. I pressed play on the movie and turned to look at Leah, who was already looking at me.

"You alright?" I asked with a chuckle. She looked back at the TV.

"Yeah" She smiled.

——————————————————

Leah got up to answer the door when the pizza arrived. I watched her get up and smiled at her. It had not even been a week yet and I was going crazy for this girl.

She walked back into the room and put the pizza box on the coffee table in front of us. I leant forward to grab a slice, Leah done the same thing. I felt her hand brush mine when we both went for the same slice. It was like electricity shocking my hand.

"Sorry." We laughed. I went to get a different slice and went back to watching the movie.

"This movie's shit isn't it." I said after finishing the final slice. Leah laughed and turned towards me. "Yeah it is." We both burst out laughing.

We stopped the movie and decided to watch something else. I noticed that Leah had been watching shameless so we just decided to put that on instead.

"Come here y/n" I looked over and Leah was looking at me with her arms open. "I'm cold." She pouted. I crawled over to her and put my head on her chest for the second time. It was just like the first, I could hear her heart and I could smell her shampoo.

"You looking forward to the game against Everton?" I heard her ask me.

I was actually really nervous for it. Don't get me wrong I had played loads of games for United and I always love playing in front of a crowd, but I guess there was just something about playing for my dream team for the first time that made me anxious.

"Yeah, I'm more nervous than I thought I'd be" I laughed.

"You'll do great."

——————————————————

I woke up and looked around when I felt a weight on my left side. I looked down and saw Leah fast asleep on me. If my phone was within reach I would've taken a picture.

I looked down at my watch. 3:30am. Shit we must've both fallen asleep. I felt Leah start to stir a little bit before I heard her yawning.

"What time is it" She asked.

"3:30"

She looked up at me and got off the couch holding out her hand. "What is it?" I asked confused.

"Well it's too late for you to drive home and you can't sleep on the couch so come on." She whispered, still half asleep. I grabbed her hand and I followed her upstairs to her room.

"Do you not have a guest room or something?" I asked. I wasn't sure if I would survive a night with Leah in her bed without dying from gay panic.

"No, sorry."

We both laid down on the bed and I turned over to try and get some sleep when I felt Leah's arms wrap around me and pull me into her. Fuck sake I was not going to get any sleep. I could feel her hands go under my top and rest on my bare stomach. I shivered. I could also feel her breathing on my neck. I shivered again.

"Are you cold y/n?" She asked.

"No." I replied, finding it really hard to get words out when she was cuddling me like this.

"Good, we couldn't have that." She replied. I really needed her to stop talking because I could feel her lips moving on the back of my neck and it really made me freak out.

10 minutes later Leah had fallen asleep again but I was still awake. I turned over and came face to face with her. Nope. I turned back around and sighed.

This was going to be a long night.
