A True English Man

Chapter 12

Kate and I make our way up to the family area function thing with Elle. It looks so full yet empty at the same time due to the room being huge but it was full up of near on 250 people. I look around to see how many people I recognise, which isn't many. Kate is still linked arm in arm with me and boy am I glad, whilst Elle is no more than 2 feet infront of me taking in all of her surroundings.

"Do not worry my love. They all look scarier than they actually are" Kate smiles and reasures me that everything will be ok. I notice some of the players begining to appear in their fancy navy suites and crisp white dress shirts with their signature scarlet red ties. No Owen yet though. A waitor approches us with what looks like flutes containing champaign and what I believed was Orange juice. I smile at the guy but before I get a chance to grab a glass Kate does it for me. It was champaign just to be clear. She grabs her self the orange juice. "These bloody waitors take too long trying to be polite and all but they just aren't quick enough. I mean I know I can't have the alcohol anymore but still." Kate's comment makes me chuckle.

"I always wondered how the alcoholic was managing with being pregnant....." I turn around with Kate and see a group of about 5 women all in very glam outfits with shiny jewellary and expensive looking accessories. Don't get me wrong I'm not broke but I could never afford have the things these girls do. "....looks like you also made a friend Kathrine." The one who was talking looked me up and down with a wicked smirk like some mean girl sceen out of an American High School movie. I can see Kate getting irritated and gritting her teeth, then, finnaly she speaks.

"Oh my Elizabeth, I'm managing just fine thank you" Kate smirks "and my dear friend here is actually your ex's new Mrs". The one who I believe to be Elizabeth just looks at me again whilst her smirk drops, Kate continues "you know, Owen, the guy you cheated on with his teammate, the best guy I know, that ex". We wait for a response. Elizabeth just huffs. Owen has an ex? Of course he has an ex we all have ex's....but her? she's so...fake? she's ice blonde with little perky boobs, big filled lips, what looks like lash extentions, tight tight dress with big heels and I wouldn't put it past her to have abs underneath there (not like usefull, I can lift abs but those ones that just look pretty as well as anarexic).

She looks me up and down once more "come on ladies, we have wife things to do".

"Don't worry Jord, she's a fucking bitch" I swing around and see Jack Nowell's laughing while Elliot Daily smiles proudly of his comment till he sees Elle then he turns white. "Jord I am so sorry I didn't see Elle. I....um...." before I can reasure him my daughter chimes in. "Dales don't worry man, my mum and aunt Tam swear like fucking trupers." We all look at her in shoke then burst out laughing in histerics.

Owen and Jamie George seem to apper at our little circle along with Henry Slade, George Ford and Ben Youngs. "What are you guys laughing at?" Owen asks and Nowell's replies imediatly "your kid man, she's bloody hilarious". I pause waiting for their response, Jamie and Kate look at me and because of this I'm asuming Owen told them of our situation. But our wait is cut short "ye I know my little princess is something int she" Owen opens his arms and Elle runs straight for him as usual, he scoops her up and she plants a big kiss on the side of his face.

We all stand around chatting for a while different people coming in and out of the circle until its juts Owen, Jamie, Kate and me. Elle is running around with some of the other kids here in their little section, which I can't lie looks bloody awesome. It's been about 2 hours already and I'm just midlessly nodding along at this point because all that's on my mind right now is who the fuck is Elizabeth? and why hasn't Owen ever said anything to me? He knows all about me and Elle's biological Father but why has he never mentioned this? Like she cheated on him apparently.
I'm snapped from my thoughts when Kate rubs my arm indicating her and Jamie are going to chat to his parents who are over the other side of the room. After meeting Kate she gave me her Instagram to follow and I did the same so we say our goodbyes and that Kate will text me later so we can arrange a catch up soon together.
