Chapter 20 ❥

Even tho technically it was the end of the season I hadn't stop trying to work on strengthening my injuries I felt as though if I was injured I wasn't really any good not only on the pitch but In general everyone had reassured me that everything was going to be fine and not to push myself but if I didn't I didn't feel I was good enough

Another thing plaguing my mind was my contract, my contract with arsenal was coming to an end and was in the works of being re-evaluated it felt almost surreal that I had been on this new team for almost a year but I had made friendships for life and a relationship that was going extremely well but part of my heart longed to be back in Spain

Playing with Barcelona was where I found who I was as a player and where I thrived the most and I wasn't unfamiliar with the fact that a lot of people wanted to see me back in the Barca kit it I had a feeling Deep down that Barcelona was going to put an offer back in but the decision to stay at arsenal or going back to Barca was going to be a hard one

But regardless it wasn't time to focus on that today was me and Leah official second date and it was my turn to plan; Despite my injury I decided me and Leah were going to go to an amusement park, would Leah be fond of the idea, probably not but I most definitely was so she'd just have to deal,

I was trying to finish up brushing out the curls in my hair so I could straighten it when I heard the door to my apartment un lock I looked around my room in slight confusion when I saw Leah appear stood in the centre of my door way remembering I had told Leah to just let herself in when she got here,

a few weeks ago I had gotten Leah a key for my apartment and she got me a key for hers it seemed like a big step but it felt like necessary step also we were definitely close enough to be able to go to each other's apartments

"Leah you're like 20 minutes early" I said in a slightly complaining tone as I made eye contact with her

"Oh well I'm sorry I can't come see my girlfriend before are literal date" she said walking over to where I was sat at my vanity and draping her arms around my shoulders pressing a light kiss to my cheek

"Leah you're gonna smudge my makeup" I replied craning my head in the opposite direction from her

"Why are you so moody" she said lightly chuckling to herself

'I am literally so stressed out' I thought to myself

"I'm not I'm just trying to get ready" I said turning my head to look up at her from my seated position offering her a smile

"Are you actually going to tell me where we're going" she asked still with her arms securely around my shoulders

"Nope" I said really popping the 'p'

"Bella if it has anything to with rides not only am I not going but you are definitely not going"

"WHAT! Why" I said stopping my current actions of getting ready and completely turning my body to face the girl

"Well one I'm not a big fan of heights and Two you are very much still injured" she replied matter-of-factly 

"Oh come on your not that scared of heights and I'm practically fully recovered" I responded

"Maybe in Arabella world you're recovered but in reality your not" Leah said finally removing her arms from my shoulders

"Wow that was actually just mean and also what has me being slightly still injured got to do with me going on rides"

Leah pondered for a second trying to think of a good enough reason but her hesitation proved my point exactly

"See you can't think of anything so therefore we're going to the theme park and we're going to enjoy are selves" I said grinning in victory turning back in my chair brushing out my hair not being bothered now to straighten it and just leaving it curly
