Since that night ,when we slept in eachothers arms, after months me and Leah have grown closer. Not just in a friend way. We could never be just friends, but we both can't do a relationship right now. I've stayed at her house for over a month now and to be honest I couldn't imaging falling asleep without her. However, I'm going to have to as she has an international break coming up for February. Tonight is our last night together before she leaves, so I'm going to spend it with her cuddling.
"Here you go" I said as I handed her a glass of water as I sat next to her on the couch.
"Gracias" she said with her thick English accent coming through which made me laugh
"What" she questioned
"Your pronunciation is so bad" I laughed
"You know what im trying here" she laughed back
"Babe gracias is the easiest word to say" I said as I drank my juice
"Well, you know what? im actually going to take up spanish classes" she said
"Seriously" I said
"Yeah, i want to be able to communicate with you in your language. You know like why do i expect you to speak to me in english all the time? " She said as she held my hand
"Possibly because i can actually speak English, but i appreciate your trying" I said as I kissed her hand
"I love you" she said as she looked into my eyes
"I love you too" I said as I kissed her cheek
She pulled me closer to her so that I was cuddling into her chest and I could feel how fast her heart was beating right now. She kissed my forhead so I looked up and my eyes met hers. We both leant in and her soft lips touched mine for the first time in months. I sat myself up more and looked at her before leaning down and kissing her more passionately.
"Fuck I've missed this. I've missed you so much Grace. " Leah moaned as I climbed on top of her.
Her hands began to ran up my top as her hands scraped along my naked back. No, I can't this isn't right. I shouldn't do this with her. I don't want to do this. But she does so I should just do it. Nope I can't.
"I can't" I said as climbed of her and stood up
"Are you okay? Did i go too far. Im sorry" she panicked as she sat up
"I can't have sex with you. Im sorry this isn't right." I said
"Hey, it's okay. i understand we can just take it slow" she said as she hugged me gently
"Im sorry" I mumbled into her shoulder
"You have nothing to be sorry for. Okay?" she said
"Okay" I mumbled
"I love you more than anything but i hurt you and im not ready to fully commit to a relationship. So when we both want it, we'll get back together. " She said as we sat down next to eachother on the couch.
"I love you too and i love your growth" I said as she laughed at my comment
"Me too" she replied as we cuddled into eachother both dreading tomorrow morning
We didn't stay up long as Leah had to leave for camp at 9 so we wanted atleast 7 hours in bed before she had to get up and leave. I woke up noticing instantly that Leah wasn't beside me.
"Le" I called out
"Downstairs" she yelled
I got out of bed and slowly walked downstairs, not wanting to say goodbye again.
"Hi" she said as she stood over the oven cooking something
"What are you cooking" I questioned
"Pancakes" she smiled back to me
"Ooo" I said trying to sound happy
"Okay, first of never, become an actor. Second, i can't tell if you're upset about my cooking, which has improved by the way or the fact we won't see each other in over a week. " she laughed as she flipped over the pancake
"Both" I sighed as I sat down
"I can't sleep properly without you"
"Grace, I can't sleep properly without you either, but i have to go and we'll call every day." She said as she came over to hug me
"You better call me otherwise I'll kill you" I said
"Ooo I'm terrified" she laughed
"Remember who is taller and a thousand times stronger" I said
"Yeah well that doesn't.." she began as I cut her off
"What's that burning smell?" I questioned
"Shit" she said as she ran over to the oven and pulled the pan of the stove
"Your cooking has improved, has it?" I laughed as I left to go shower
"I tried ,appreciate that" she yelled as I walked off
Leah's pov:
I left Grace after an emotional goodbye as we both didn't want to let go. Sometimes I wish she played football with me or I just didn't have to work. I arrived at SGP at 9 30 and was greeted with the cameras for the arrival videos.
"Skipper, no hot spaniard with you" Keira said as she came up to hug me
"Lucy, know you think my girlfriend is fit?" I said
"Your girlfriend?" She questioned as we stopped hugging
"Well, we're not together but we're getting there" I said
"Well it's better than nothing" she said as I felt someone jump onto my back
"Oh come on G you know I've had a bad back recently" I exclaimed
"Probably of being a pillow princess for that hot spanish girl of yours" she laughed
"Does everyone just talk about how fit Grace is?" I questioned
"Okay, come on Romeo lets go unpack" Georgia said as she dragged me of to my room, which is right next to hers
