Friends for life?

18. The Wedding Pt2

Leah's POV

Todays training session had been good, after my chat with Nan the other day I was feeling a bit confused. I didn't know what to do but football always distracted me from my feelings. As I'm finishing my shower I can hear Katie screaming about something in the changing room, I've no idea what it is no doubt she'll be causing havoc as usual.

"LEAH!! When did Isla get a tattoo?"
Literally as soon as I walked in. Ah that explains what Katie was so excited about.

"Erm, she doesn't?" I quickly mumbled. When we'd sobered up we'd realised having each others initials tattooed on our ribs probably wasn't a very 'best friend' thing to do.

"I know what I saw" Katie smirked pointing her finger at me

"A tattoo! Katie you mad? She's terrified of needles. Remember we had to distract her when they came to do our Covid injections" The club had been desperate for us to get back to training so they paid an insane amount of money for us to all be vaccinated as soon as they could. Isla was a mess the whole day, she nearly passed out after the first one so they had Katie and I with her for the second. I hope this makes Katie believe me.

We had Friday off to attend Emma's wedding. The Scottish girls were going to the full day and the rest were joining them at night. Isla had told Emma I'd be her plus one so my invite could be used for someone else. For a while we'd been each others guests at events, even before our breakups. Josh worked away a lot so it was normal for me to join Isla, and there was always so much speculation when Sophie and I were seen together so I avoided that by taking Isla as my guest instead. Part of me always imagined what it would be like for her to be my plus one because we were together and not to stop the rumours online about my relationship with anyone I was seen with.

For the wedding I was wearing a white cropped top and a cream suit while Isla wore an orange dress. It hugged all the right places I couldn't help thinking she looked so hot. Other than Isla, I'd never been attracted to any girly girls. Some of my friends and even my cousin, Holly, had similar style to Isla. Of course I thought they were pretty but that was it. I don't think I'd ever seen Sophie wear a dress or heels whereas that was normal for Isla. She loved getting her hair and makeup done and dressed up. I'm trying so hard to not be distracted by her right now, I'm failing.

I was chatting to some of the Scottish girls when I noticed Isla had disappeared. Then I spotted her, she's doing kick ups with some kids and Lisa Evans, of course Lisa was involved. I'd heard about the things these two get up to in Scotland camps. I'd even witnessed it at the 2019 World Cup in France, they were staying in the same hotel as us.

Flashback
I was heading back to my room after dinner, not paying any attention I got in the lift while looking at my phone.

"Don't say hi then, how rude" looking up I was met with Isla, Lisa and Caroline Weir all grinning.

"Why are you wet?" I laughed looking between the three of them. There's a puddle on the floor of the lift where they're standing.

Lisa and Isla had been carrying on at the side of the pool. Caroline had pushed them both in before being pulled in herself by the other two. It took them 5 minutes to tell me this, they couldn't speak for laughing

Flashback over

Emma and her husband had stopped to chat to us they both looked so happy, I couldn't help think I want to be that in love some day. Well I am right now but that's a secret and she doesn't feel the same anyway.

I had only spent time with some of the Scottish girls before today but they made me feel so welcome, even when Isla had abandoned me for keep ups. I really hope nobody shares a video of this or she'll get so much stick for it, at least she took her shoes off though.
