Ellies P.O.V (Back to the 'Getting to know each other' night)
I walked back into the house after seeing Leah to her car. Beth and Viv were in the kitchen, clearly having both had a fair few drinks.
"Soooo...." Beth said as she leant on the kitchen side
"So...nothing" I said
"Really? Your not going to tell me?"
"Beth, there is nothing to tell. I invited Leah round earlier as a friend, we had a good night" I smiled at Beth
"You sure it was just as a friend?" Beth questioned
"Yes, Beth"
"There is definitely something in the air with you two, I can feel the tension when you are both together" Beth starts to say
Viv abruptly interrupts "Beth, I think we should head off to bed" I think Viv has probably noticed the slight panic in my face after what Beth said.
"I'm going to bed too, night guys" I make a swift exit and go up to my room

Conversation between Viv and Beth
"Beth, you need to learn to just not say certain things" Viv whispers to Beth
"What do you mean? I didn't say anything" Beth completely oblivious
"About Jonesy and Leah, you of all of people know what Ellie is like, don't get me wrong, I love Ellie but I also love Leah and I do not want to see Leah get hurt" Viv says
"Hmmm, your right, I don't either. But come on, you must admit there is defiantly tension between the two, right?" Beth questions
"Yes, there is, I agree with that, but you need to stop making stupid comments to them both about it. We know what Leah is like, she is a pure soul and I'm not saying Ellie isn't, but obviously her track record doesn't scream out 'relationship' to me, and we know Leah doesn't do the whole hook up thing, its all or nothing with Leah, plus isn't Ellie hooking up someone else?" Viv whispers
"I know, I get it, your right. I don't mean any harm though" Beth sighs
"I know" Viv smiles "Let's get some sleep"

I laid in bed waiting for the text from Leah to let me know she is home safe, thinking about what just happened before Beth and Viv came back. Fuck, I wanted to kiss Leah. In that moment, nothing else seemed to matter...her eyes, those big, bright, blue eyes. I could see Leah was looking from my eyes to my lips and I couldn't help but do the same, if Beth and Viv didnt come back in that moment, I don't think I would have been able to stop myself, I definitely would have kissed her.
Fuck. What am I thinking? I don't 'get with' team mates, not after last time at Barca. That really didn't go well and its a situation I never want to be in again.
Did Leah even want to kiss me? Or was I just blinded by the fact I wanted to kiss her? There is no way I can ask her though, if she says she wanted to kiss me than that makes things 100x times worse, how would I get out of that situation? Don't get me wrong, I know Leah and I flirt a bit, but admitting to each other that we both wanted to kiss each other. Well that goes to a whole new level of awkwardness.
Leah is beautiful though, inside and out. She is so genuine, a pure soul. Her smile, her goofy laugh, the way she can come across so confident but then get shy in an instant. Her shiny blonde hair, and when she tucks it behind her ear it makes me go weak. Fuck sake, I'm going soft, what is the matter with me.
It does feel different though, I don't want to sleep with Leah, I mean don't get me wrong, I definitely wouldn't say no if we were in a different situation, but there is something different about her. I definitely felt butterflies earlier when we were, maybe, about to kiss and that is certainly not like me. I love spending time with her though, we chat, we laugh, we have banter, she is a good friend to everyone. I don't want to ruin that, and if anything ever did happen, i would definitely end up ruining it. If there is one thing that i most definitely do not want to do, it is that i would never, ever, want to hurt Leah. She is too special.
Leah may not even have any of these thoughts anyway, I hope she doesn't, it would probably be a good thing that she doesn't. God, what is going on.
Ping Ping.
My phone vibrates and its a text from Leah letting me know she is home safe. I can't help but smile down at my phone as we exchange a few texts, thanking each other for a good night and of course, i couldn't help myself but be just a little bit flirty.
I put my phone on the side and decide its time to try and get some sleep.
