Leah Williamson love story

Chapter 19

Riley p.o.v

"Riley... Baby it's time to wake up." I can hear leah trying to wake me up but i don't want to open my eyes. "ill carry you if you want?" leah sweetly offers but I know that'll cause a lot of people to stare at us and to be honest I'm not sure I want to have attention on us right now. I open my eyes and smile at leah. "you're so cute but Ill get up. I just feel so sleepy." I say whilst trying to gather up my stuff. The plane ride was actually not as boring as I thought it would've been. Me and leah watched a few films to begin with and then eventually fell asleep. It definitely helped the time go by. Leah helps me to get my things and off the plane. We get through security and as soon as we go outside we are swarmed with people with cameras. I instantly panic and freeze. They surround me and ask me so many questions at a time i can't even think straight. "Cooper who are you signing with?" "Cooper are you dating leah Williamson?" "will you live in the US if you sign for a label here?" all these questions continue to get fired at me and I politely try to make my way through the people. I can feel my head start to pound and I know I'm going to end up fainting. The minute I start to  feel a bit dizzy I feel a pair of arms around me. It's leah, she's keeping me up and walking me through the sea of cameras. We notice a car and a man holding a sign with my name on it. "hi, miss Cooper. Sorry about the paps. They're assholes. Come on let's get you to your hotel." the kind man says and opens the door for us. "thank you" i reply and we all get in. "that was crazy." Beth says. "are you okay?" viv asks me. "yeah I'm sorry. That was weird and overwhelming. I didn't mean to put you all in that position. You guys have enough to deal with without adding all these extra issues." "it's not an issue. We are more used to this than you are. Don't apologise to us. We are in America. They usually are more intense when it comes to celebrity names." Beth says. "it's true. Everyone comes to America to get their name out there because the paps are ruthless out here and will make you a celebrity overnight. Living in the US makes it a lot easier for your brand or music or art to be put out for the world to see. Media coverage is always huge here" the driver says. "yeah but I'm not staying... We are here for a couple days and then we are going back home." I state to the driver. "that's what they all say. By the time your trip is up, I bet you'll not want to leave." I can see leahs face drop and I know she's worried he is right. "yeah well if you'd said all this 6 months ago then I mightve just agreed, but not now. I have the most amazing life now and I won't be giving that up for a shot at being famous. I don't need to be famous. I will be leaving America and going back to England in a couple days. With my partner and my best friends." I state simply and hold leahs hand. "I'm coming home with you." I whisper to leah. Leah just squeezes my hand and I can feel her relax more.

We arrive at the hotel and it's stunning. The hotel definitely is too posh for me. We get out and all these people come over to take our bags and give us champagne. This is so weird. "miss copper, lovely to have you staying with us. My name is Marie. I will show you to your rooms." we follow Marie and go to the top floor. "you're in penthouse 4 and penthouse 5. You can decide who is In what room but both offer the same features and breathtaking views Of L.A." Marie hands us our cards and we go to our rooms. Me and leah go for room 4 and viv and Beth go for 5. The rooms are huge with a massive bathroom and a separate living area." four poster bed." I point out to leah." could've got restraints and tied you to the bed." leah smirks. "you've always got a dirty mind." I laugh. "only around you." leah kisses me. "I dont want you to worry on this trip. No matter what happens I am coming home with you. If they can't give me a contact that works around us and being in England then I don't want it. I never needed all of this, I will be quite happy to go home right now and forget all about contracts and music deals. As long as i have you, I have everything I need." I need leah to know this. She has to know she means more to me than money and fame. " Riley I play football. I may need to travel for games or events. I might be away for weeks at a time for tournaments, the world Cup being one of those, If I am called up. So I understand making sacrifices for your passion. I wouldn't ask you to not take a contact. Even if It means you are away. I just hadn't thought about that. I am so happy for you and excited to see where this takes you and be with you every step of the way but there will be sacrifices you'll have to make to get to where you want to be and as long as we make time for each other when we can, we will be okay." leah smiles at me. "leah i don't know if I want to do this. I don't want this to change anything. I'd much rather just forget about it and keep things the way it is." I don't like change and especially not change that'll effect me and leah. I just want to go home. "baby. No matter what we will be okay. Just see what they've got to say and take it from there. You don't need to decide right away." leah wraps me in her arms and we relax together.
