LONG CHAPTER!

-3 days later-
Olivia POV:
It's been 3 days since I read the article, I did reply to Phil's text that he sent and I told him that I just need some time but I do believe him.
People may say I'm a fool for telling him I believe him without talking to him or even seeing the proof but my gut tells me to trust him and that's what I'm doing.
Phil's playing an away match today, City are playing Chelsea at Stamford bridge. I've decided to go and watch.
After I told him I needed some time, we have texted a few times, he texts me everyday to make sure I'm okay and to tell me he loves me.
I haven't got any shoots for a couple of weeks, so I've spoken to Sasha and she's got me a ticket and pass for todays match, we're driving down together.

Phil POV:
We're lined up in the tunnel and Mason and Ben are next to me "You alright lad?" Mason asks and I shrug "I will be mate, that article really hurt Liv. I'll be better once we're sorted" they both nod "you 2 will be okay won't you?" Ben says and I shrug "I hope so, she's said she does believe me but I haven't seen her in like 4 days." They pat my back and reassure me it'll be okay.
As we walk out of the tunnel I look around and I see my girl, standing there next to Sasha. I grin and it gives me a big boost for this game. When we shake hands with the Chelsea boys, I get to Mase and Ben, Mason says "Got to be a good sign she's here and in your top" I smile and we begin the match. The 90 minutes fly by and both teams play really well, we end up drawing 2-2.
Once the match is finished, I shake everyone's hands and I'm one of the first to run straight into the tunnel, hoping Liv will be there waiting for me.
Jack is next to me, I see her standing there, she offers me a small smile and I run over to her as Sasha leaves to go to Jack.
"Hey, I really didn't expect to see you here today" I say, she smiles and shrugs "I missed you" she says. I hug her and she hugs me back in the tightly. "I've really missed you too Liv, can we go for dinner tonight and talk please?" I say and she smiles, nodding "Yeah, I'd like that. You played really well by the way" she says and all I can do is smile, pulling her closer to me.
Soon we hear "Hey Liv" it's Jack, she hugs him and then we see Mase and Ben coming over. "Hi all" Mason says and we laugh, they both give Liv a small hug and we all chat.
Once Mason and Ben have left to their changing rooms, we walk to ours, Jack says "you 2 coming for dinner tonight?" I shake my head "not tonight lad, I'm taking Liv to dinner so we can talk." He nods and understands, telling me that as long as we be 100% honest it'll be okay.
Olivia POV:
Phil's picking me up for dinner in about 15 minutes, I got home about 45 minutes ago. I've picked a nice outfit for tonight, I only had to top up my make-up and straighten my hair so I'm all ready and he's text me he's leaving in about 10 minutes as he's running late.

The front door knocks, as I open it Phil's the other side, he holds his hand out to take mine. "You look amazing baby" I grin and then he says "can I kiss you?" I nod "of course you can. You don't have to ask" he pulls me in and kisses me, it's deep and passionate, it says all of the 'I miss you's' we haven't said to each other. Once we've pulled away he says "I didn't know if you wanted me to kiss you after everything considering we haven't talked yet. That's why I didn't kiss you earlier" I smile and say "I told you I believed you. I just needed time that's all. I'll explain it all at dinner" he nods and we get in the car to go to our reservation.
Once we arrive and sit down we're in a very quiet booth, it's dimly lit and beautiful. "I think I should explain my reaction" I say to Phil, he holds my hand and smiles "you don't have to, you had every right to be upset and hurt. It was horrible for you to read. You're feelings about the situation are valid and I don't want you to feel like you have to justify why you felt like that" he says and I squeeze his hand "thank you baby, but I need to tell you about my past and I think it will help you understand me and help our future." He nods and reassures me to do it in my own time. "So about 3 years ago, I got with a guy named Tom, he was about 3 months off of turning 21 and I hadn't long turned 19, we spent a lot of time together, well it was any spare time as I was having lots of shoots, he worked full time Monday to Friday so we only really got weekends. But that's not the point, At the beginning we were so close, he'd do anything for me, he'd appreciate whether we got a whole weekend together or an hour. After about 2 months of being with him I fell deeply in love with him, that's where it started going wrong. I did less shoots to make more time for him like he asked, yet he still worked all his hours. After about a year, Emily told me he'd changed me but at the time I didn't see it. He made me feel like he was the only one who wanted me, so I stayed even though after 18 months I knew I wasn't happy, because of him I stopped seeing my friends, I felt unhappy and mentally I really struggled. He'd blame me for everything that happened even if he was the one who done it, he'd say it was always my fault making him angry and have to go out drinking. One day about 3 weeks before our 2 year anniversary, I found out he was cheating on me, he had been with different girls for the last 9-12 months of our relationship. I found his phone and looked through it seeing all the chats, the photos and the calls. It broke me, I lost myself in that 2 years to be made a fool of for half of it, he never loved me and looking back on it now I never loved him, I realise I just loved the idea of him. He tried telling me it was all my fault that he went with other women, that I didn't love him enough. After the hurt he caused, it took me a long time to recover. I became guarded and swore I wasn't going to let myself get hurt again. You're the first guy I even let myself think of being with after all that time." I let out a breath, it's like I've just said it all in one breath. He squeezes my hand "Liv, I'd never do that to you, hurting you is the last thing I'd ever want to do. I love you so much, I can't promise you won't ever read something like that again as people like causing trouble and bringing up things from the past but I can promise it never will be true, if you read something like that talk to me, let me support you through the hurt as I swear I'll never cheat, you're all I'll ever want or need" he says and I lean over and kiss him as I know he means every single word of what he's said.
We leave the restaurant and make up properly at his place.
