A Skipper's Love Story

10

Once the two girls grabbed lunch they found the table Georgia had spoken about and sat with Less, Ella, Lucy and Kiera. Y/n sat next to Ella as Leah sat next to Keira, both girls knowing if they sat next to each other they wouldn't be able to keep their hands off of one another, even just for a short period of time, however this didn't stop the two girls giving each other stares across the table at any moment they could.

'So you two feeling as rough as the rest of us' Kiera asked as all of the girls got dug into their food.

'Yeah, but defiantly worth it for how good of a night it was' Leah responded to her best friend, shooting a grin across the table to y/n.

'Yeah it was pretty good to be fair, you two seemed to have gotten close last night, you didn't let go of one another' Lucy spoke as she chuckled, Lucy always being the most aware one of the group and having clocked on to the fact that maybe something was happening between y/n and Leah.

'Yeah well, gotta make sure I'm in the skippers good books, Beth asked me to be friends with her so I'm now friends with her' y/n replied instantly, wanting to put Leah in the friend zone as soon as possible so the girls wouldn't get any sort of idea.

Leah looked down at y/n's response, she knew that she had only said it to make sure the girls only thought of them as friends but it still hurt to hear y/n call her a friend, when she felt so many stronger feelings for. 

'Friends huh?' Tooney questioned with a sarcastic grin across her face, 'Leah is known to let all of her 'friends' borrow her clothes' she finished off, gesturing towards the jumper y/n had draped across her shoulders.

'Oh shut up Tooney, y/n/n got here yesterday, she hasn't unpacked yet and wanted to be warm, nothing more to it' Leah responded, as y/n reached her leg out from under the table to slightly stroke Leah's leg as a subtle way of saying 'good save'.

'Okay fair enough fair enough, I will drop it, but if I'm right then I bloody told you so' Tooney says, as she points to Less, referencing a bet they had made before y/n had come to camp where she had said y/n and Leah would get together. 

The rest of the lunch went by pretty quickly, the girls laughing and talking, sharing stories of the night before and discussing what film should be played at the first movie night of camp, with Lucy and Kiera acting like an old married couple, bickering over the choice. When all the girls had finished eating, the four others said how they would be going to the common area and Leah told them how she had plans to show y/n around the grounds of St Georges as Beth had abandoned her. And with that, they all went their separate ways and y/n and Leah were alone once more, walking out of the entrance to the hotel and towards the grassy hills next to the training pitch. 

'So Le, what exactly do you have planned for us today then?' y/n asked once the two girls were once again alone.

'A surprise gorgeous, I want to get to know you more so I've got a place we can do that without any interruptions' Leah replied, taking y/n's hand in hers and leading her out into the greenery where no one could find them.

The two girls then reached the most beautiful clearing, it was a bright sunny day, there were trees all around them and a brook just in front which filled the air with a trickling sound of water, it was as if heaven was a place. Laid directly in front of the girls was a picnic blanket under one of the trees, with snacks and drinks and with a speaker laying right in the middle of it.

'Omg, this is so beautiful Le, how have you managed to plan this, we've been in bed all day?' y/n asked, in actual shock that a girl she had just met the day before had done all of this for her. It was by far the most romantic thing anyone had ever done for her.
