L O V E R - a Leah Williamson story

chapter twelve

It had been a couple of weeks since my realisation about Leah, and I had accepted it by now. It was hard, but after many late night conversations with Ella I had remembered why I loved her. This helped me.

Today it was media day at Arsenal, and boy was I excited. It gave the fans a chance to know me better, and gave me a chance to show off my excellent jokes. The media team had told us to get into pairs. I looked to Leah and saw that she was looking straight back at me. We both smirked as we walked over to each other, meeting in the middle.

"So Lee, fancy being my partner?" I asked with a wink. I was pretty sure that everyone knew we were dating by now.

"It would be my honour." We linked arms and waited for our instructions.

We had been told to go over to one interviewer for a game of would you rather. We sat down in the two seats provided and the interviewer explained that we would take turns picking a question out of the box and asking the other person.

"Hello, I'm y/n and this is Leah. Today we're going to be playing a bit of would you rather." I introduced the video. I felt like I sounded so awkward.

Leah bent over to get a question out of the box. "Okay, would you rather have a rewind button or a pause button for your life?"

"Oh easy. Definitely a pause button." I replied.

My turn. "Leah, would you rather have x-ray vision or magnified hearing?" I asked.

She smirked at me, "X-ray vision." I went red slightly when I realised what she meant, I really hoped the cameras didn't pick that up.

She picked out another question. "Would you rather spend the day with your favourite athlete or favourite singer."

"I'm already spending the day with my favourite athlete." I said. Leah started laughing. "Awwww y/n/n, am I your favourite athlete?" She asked.

I smirked. "No, Viv is." I pointed over to her doing a football challenge at a different interview. The camera panned towards her. Leah gasped and pouted.

"That was mean. Watch your back y/l/n." She said. I laughed.

"Okay next question. Would you rather - Ew Leah this one is weird. If you say the wrong thing we are no longer friends." I said with a disgusted face.

"What is it?" She questioned, looking over to try and see the question.

"Would you rather never brush your hair again or never brush your teeth again?" I asked.

"Oh my god definitely never brush my hair. That would be so disgusting." She replied with a chuckle.

"Yes agreed. We are still friends." I lifted up my hand and she gave me a high five.

We had time for two more questions. "Would you rather always be cold or always be hot?" Leah asked.

"Well I'm usually always cold, and it's not that bad. So I'll go with that."

"Okay Leah final question. Would you rather have an extra toe or finger?"

She started laughing. "What the hell." I joined in, her laugh was very contagious. "Umm, probably an extra finger."

We finished the interview and moved on to the next one. This time we were doing quick fire questions. The interviewer asked us things and we had three seconds to answer, we had two strikes and if we went past them then the other person would win.

"You ready Leah?" I asked.

She smiled at me and rolled up her sleeves. "Oh yeah. You're going down y/l/n."
