leah williamson- enemies to lovers

part 9- more than friends

I roll over and throw my arm over leah's side of the bed, excepting her to be there, next to me. I pat the bed to see if i can find her without opening my eyes but i couldn't find her, i quickly open my eyes and notice she not in our bed. The clock read 9:40 so i quickly jumped in the shower and then headed down to breakfast. As i pushed open the double doors, i saw her standing with Keira and Georgia, she doesn't notice me, so i grab my breakfast and sit down with Millie and Rach. "excited for training later," Rach asks, "can't wait," i reply sarcastically as i point out the window to the heavy rain. I chat to Millie and Rach for a while before heading back to my room to get changed for training. As i open the hotel room door i hear the shower turn off and i realise leah is back. We haven't spoke about last night so i wasn't sure how she felt about it. I started to get ready for training when the bathroom door slowly creeped open and leah slowly appeared from behind it. She was already changed into her training kit but her hair was still soaking wet. "what you staring at?" leah asks, looking around the room for the hair dryer, "nothing, i erm," i respond, handing her the hairdryer. "lost for words are you," leah laughs, "i make you that nervous do i," she adds, making my cheeks turn bright red. Before i could respond, leah turns the hairdryer on, which allows me to get ready in the bathroom. I wasn't sure if i was starting to like leah or not, i liked cuddling her a night but she always made me feel so annoyed at her every conversation we had. After around 10 minutes, we walk down to training in silence, glancing over at each other, giving a soft smile. We didn't talk much in training either, i started to get the feeling leah regretted what happened.

Training had finally finished but i couldn't help but feel annoyed with leah and how she ignored me all session. Even when we disliked each other she would shoot me dirty looks from across the field and make silly comments under her breath, but today was very different. As we got back to the changing room, I couldn't help but notice Leah, her beautiful blonde hair shimmering from sweating and her cheeks had gone a rosy colour. I began to smile which caught her attention and her eyes met mine but quickly glanced away, which removed the smile from my face. I was the last one in the changing room and as i grab my final belongings, the door swings open and i turn around to see who it is. "You okay," she asked softly, "It looks like you've been crying," leah says whilst putting on her jacket. I had been crying, but only a little, i was so confused what was going on with leah, one minute we're in bed together and the next she won't even look me in the eyes. "I'm fine," i reply rubbing me eyes. I go to push open the door to leave but leah puts her arm on mine and pulls me away, "you can tell me, even though we don't like each other it doesn't mean i'm not here for you." I run my hands through my hair and think about what to say, "that's the problem leah, we don't like each other, why are we trying to change that," i say sitting on the end of the bench."What are you talking about G?" leah asks confused, "do you actually not know, are u okay?" i say slightly raising my voice, "for 2 nights now i've slept with your arms wrapped around me and your still treating me like it didn't happen and asking what's wrong!" i add in a frustrated tone. "G, you're right, it's just..." "Leave it," i say interrupting Leah. I grab my things and head back to my hotel room.

As i finally get back to my room i remember that i invited some of the girls over for a movie night. I didn't want to be alone with leah so i text beth to come earlier than the other girls. Soon Beth arrives and to my surprise she enters with leah, "Hey G," Beth says opening her arms for a hug. "Come in," i reply pulling away from our hug, "everything is set up the girls should be here in like 10 minutes," i tell Beth who throws herself onto the couch. I don't say hi to Leah, i don't even make a joke about her, i just give her a half smile and continue to head over to the kitchen area. "Can we talk?" Leah asks sitting on top of the counter. "Sure," i reply leaning against the opposite counter. "I know i didn't show it but i really did enjoy the other night," she says quietly whilst playing with her ring. My cheeks start to blush but before i could say anything back there is a knock on the door. I open it to find all the girls stood outside, "movie time!" Rach says pushing her way through the door. I laugh and gesture the rest of the group to come in. Everyone finds a place on the couches and i'm the last one to sit down, the only seat was next to Leah but i wasn't sure how she felt about me. Leah looks up and nods her head signalling for me to sit down next to her and as soon as i do, i feel the awkward tension between us start to grow. Leah shared her blanket with me, which meant our shoulders were centimetres away from each other. As the movie went on, i could feel Leah getting closer to me when finally are knees grazed one another, this sent a shiver down my spine which leah noticed. She placed her hand gently on top of my thigh which made my whole body start to tingle, and made my head swing back and fall onto the back of the couch, luckily there was a blanket over the both of us so none of the girls noticed. I turned to Leah and whispered "i thought you didn't like me?" "I don't," leah whispered back into my ear, "Then why is your hand on my thigh?" i questioned giving her a sarcastic look, Leah laughed and returned to watching the film, not moving her hand from my thigh.
