I woke up to a thousand notification. Story of my life.

I said I'd drive with Sasha, Jack and Phil to training today seeing as my car was still in the garage.

I had a quick shower and shaved. When I say quick it was around 20 minutes.

I put on my England home shirt that had Grealish on the back with a pair of ripped denim shorts. I wore my hair down and straightened with a little bit of glowy makeup on.

Sasha and Jack beeped outside so I put on my Nike panda dunks.

After an hour ride to Wembley, we all walked in to an almost empty stadium. Gareth and a few other boys were there.

"Hey everyone! Well Gareth, Trent, Luke and Harry," I said counting the amount of people m actually sat here.

"Not many yet?" I said giggling.

"No Nat but if you want to get logged on to the laptop ready that would be great," he said smiling at me.

"Copy that!" I said and grabbed the laptop and logged into my socials and England's nationals aswell.

They were playing against Spain today and Gareth finally said I could sit pitch side with the subs.

I was buzzing as I watched more boys turn up to start training.

After all socials were updated I was free so I was just watching. Actually I did answer a few invoices but that was it.  Judith liked to keep updated on all emails.

"Natalie! If your free could you lead a game with a group?" Gareth shouted me over.

"Yea on it boss!"

I assisted a group of the boys and set up a game of football between them while Gareth took the other groups. I took some pics of the boys to post them on the national account to let them know just how goofy Trent really was.

I sat in the stands with Sash and Megan Pickford before I had to go down to sit with the subs. I sat next to Mason and Harry Maguire because Phil was going to start in the match. I asked Gareth if I could go to the changing rooms just to see the boys to wish them good luck.

"Of course, remind them to bring the drinks crate out!" He said and laughed before looking back at his phone.

I walked through the tunnel and to the home locker rooms. "Hey Jack!" I shouted as I saw him leaving the showers. I ran over and gave him a hug, "How's Sash doing?" He said whilst hugging me back.

I smiled. "I love how worried for her you are, she's fine she's with Megan," I said and hugged him bye.
He looked me up and down then excused himself to get his kit on.

"NATALIEEE!!" I heard and spun around. "Bukayo?!" I said and hugged him back. "Yeah of course, so excited for the game!" He said and his smile widened. I laughed, "good luck Kayo!"

I saw him come out from the showers in nothing but a towel. Oh wow. I shuddered but went over anyway.

"I wanted to wish you good luck but you seem.. naked," I said and started laughing.

"Uh yea I am, but uh I did want to find you," he said.

"Oh yeah what for?" I said being very aware of his very low towel.

"I wanted to ask you if u wanted to catch dinner with me tomorrow, like a date?" He said smirking at me with his piercing eyes.

"I'd love to," I said and smiled before saying bye.

"Harry don't you dare forget that drinks crate!" I said as I left.

I sat down and noticed that there were spare seats on my row.

"Sash, Meg come sit down here we can get a better view!" I shouted up to them. They rushed down and then Megan offered to get us some drinks.

Megan quickly came back and started showing me and Sasha pictures of hers and Jordan's little boy and telling Sasha millions of parenting hacks.

The boys got ready to walk out and I saw Phil in line being super focused. We sang our national  anthem and then it was kick off.

We reached half time and still it was 0-0  so I went into the changing rooms to see how they were. They were all out of breath so I handed out the drinks and then Gareth gave them a team talk. I sat in between Phil and Harry Kane as I listened to the harsh words of Gareth.

I don't know why but I impulsively grabbed Phil's arm and gave it a squeeze to comfort him. He turned and gave me a knowing glance. It didn't even feel wrong.

It was the 79th minute and Harry Kane scored an amazing goal but it wasn't looking good for England as defense was lacking.

We kept it away and suddenely Jack scored from a free kick.

The uproar of fans was deafening that Sash had to go inside for a drink.

The game ended with only the 2 goals and I again rode home with Sasha and Jack.

This time I made it in the door before sickness took over my body and I needed to throw up.
