Today we have our last friendly ,against Argentina
I'm a little nervous because I know it will be the last one before the World Cup
Leah slept quietly next to me and as strange as it sounds, I watched her sleep
she looks so peaceful
But unfortunately I have to wake her up because we have to go to breakfast
Fun fact it took me 20 minutes to get ready and I let Leah sleep
I then took my water bottle and poured some water over her
Elena:,,come on up, you have 5 minutes to get ready"
Leah:,,mmhhhh...wtf why are you watering me?"
Elena:,,get ready, your comment only gives you 3 minutes"
Leah: "Has anyone ever told you how unromantic you can be?"
Elena: "Erm yes... you... you and oh wait you"
Leah: "Asshole"
Elena: "2 minutes Leah, I'm not kidding, we really have to go"
Leah: "What should I do in 2 minutes?"
Elena: "Get dressed"
Leah: "Elena..."
Elena: "1 minute"
Leah: "I hate you"
Elena: "Only 30 seconds due to this comment"
She got up and I sat on the bed and waited for her
she was only wearing an oversized t-shirt from me and her hair was tied up
She looked extremely hot
Leah: "take a picture, it will last longer"
Elena:,, oh believe me I already have photos"
Leah: "Can you...for once...think normally?"
Elena:,,mhhh"
I checked her from bottom to top
Leah: "Stop that Elena...very dangerous"
Elena: "What, I don't even do anything?"
Leah: "I know the looks"
Elena:,,that's the 'undress or I'll do it' look
Leah: "I don't think the second idea is bad at all"
*beep beep
Leah: "Did you seriously set an alarm for this?"
Elena: "Yes and that means we have to go"
Leah: "okay okay let me brush my teeth and do my hair"
Elena: "1 minute"
she's done her chores and we're out of the room
Leah: "Wait...I forgot my phone"
Elena:,, how bad... unfortunately I lost the card"
Leah: "come on elena open the door"
I pretended to open the door but turned around and got Leah over my shoulders
she started laughing
Leah: "What are you doing?"
Elena: "Get you to breakfast because you annoy me"
I walked with her over my shoulders to the stairs and put her down
Elena: "Can you walk the stairs without me?"
Leah: "nahhh I don't think so"
she said and stepped closer to me
Leah: "Not here"
Elena: Seriously? now I'm being bribed too?"
Leah: "yeah"
she said and kissed me
I had to smile into the kiss
Leah: "Stop smilling, idiot," she said, smiling
Elena: "I don't even do it"
I said smiling and kissed her again
Emma: "good morning?"
We broke the kiss straight away
Elena: "Morning"
Emma:,,i have so Many questions"
She said laughing.
Elena:,,why? Can't i kiss my girlfriend haha"
Emma:,,How is your hand?"
Elena: "Yeah, like yesterday..."
Emma: "I'll take a closer look at them later"
Elena: "Thank you"
She then went into the elevator while me and Leah took the stairs
i looked into Leah's eyes and she smiled.
Leah: "You called me your girlfriend"
Elena: "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to..."
she kissed me again
Leah: "That was great idiot"
Elena: "progress"
Leah: "kind of"
we walked down the stairs
Elena: "I wish Jordan would have seen it"
Leah: "Why?"
Elena: "Then she would know that you are mine"
Leah: "She doesn't have to know that...it's enough if we both know that we are ours"
Elena: "and emma"
Leah: "Yes, but she knows now that she doesn't have a chance with you anymore"
Elena: "Shit now I have no more options if you get back to jordan"
Leah: "First you could've have anyone, second who is Jordan when I have Elena Rodriguez"
Elena: "right you're right"
We were now standing in front of the door to the entrance to the cafeteria
Leah: "Can I get one last kiss?"
Elena:,,help...are we dying? I really hope that this won't be the last"
Leah: "The last for 12 hours"
Elena: "yeah ok fair enough"
I grabbed her waist and pulled her towards me
The kiss wasn't very long but full of emotions
Leah: "Hey that was the 5th best kiss we've ever had"
Elena:,,what is the first one "
Leah: "psh I won't tell you"
Elena: "Then I'll ask Keira, she probably knows"
Leah: "Yeah she does..."
Elena: "okay I'll just ask her"
Leah: "Hey, that's not how the game works"
Elena: "Then tell me"
Leah: "Yeah, okay, it was our first kiss after the 5-year break"
Elena: "That's awesome, he wasn't even in my top 20"
Leah: WHAT?! that was by far the best"
Elena: "nahhh"
I opened the door so she can go through
Leah: "What was your best?"
Elena: "From us?"
I said laughing and she slapped me lightly at that
Elena: "okay...okay just kidding williamson please go through the door i've been holding for 1 minute"
She rolled her eyes and we sat down at our table
Elena: "Morning"
Nobody said anything back they just stared at me and Leah
I whispered to Leah
Elena: "What's going on here?"
Leah: "I don't know"
she whispered back
Beth: "Mate, why didn't you tell me?"
she said to me
Elena: "Are you talking to me?"
Beth:,,yeah ofc i do"
Elena: "What... said?"
Beth: "You and Leah getting back together?"
I just stared into her eyes
Elena: "We...are...not together?"
Keira: "come on you can tell us"
Elena:,, no really we are not together"
I said
Georgia: "They bluff"
Elena: "Why should I?"
Beth: "Emma told us she saw you guys kiss"
I looked into Leah's eyes
Elena: "probably just a dream"
but put my hand on her thigh so she knows i'm not serious
Beth: "Come on Elena..."
Elena:,,I don't want anything from Leah we are good friends but that's really all there is haha and if you'll excuse me now I'll go get something to eat"
Leah: "yes me too"
we went to the buffet together
Elena: "That was funny"
Leah: „Funny? you said that so real"
Elena: "You know I don't mean it"
Leah: "Yeah, I knew it, but it still hurt when you said that"
Elena:"Nahhhh williamson maybe we should really just be friends"
I said, biting back my laughter
Leah: "ha-ha very funny"
Elena: "You know I love you"
I whispered in her ear
Leah: "me too"
Elena: "Hey! that's not fair, the game doesn't work that way"
Leah: "okay Elena Rodriguez...I love you too"
We then ate and got on the bus to drive to the stadium
I sat with Leah in the back again.
Leah fell asleep on my shoulder and I was scrolling through insta
what i didn't realize was that a few of us were doing tik toks and me and leah were on it
that means there are new edits coming from me and Leah haha
I threw Leah some more water from my bottle over it
Leah: "ughhh can you please stop that for once"
Elena: "never"
Leah: "Your shoulder was comfortable maybe I sleep on it every night"
Elena: "I certainly wouldn't have a problem with"
I said and smiled at her
Leah: "ughhh stop smiling at me like that"
Elena: "Why?" I said, laughing
Leah: "Because you look great and I want to kiss you"
Elena: "is your mum coming to the game today?"
Leah: "that was random, why do you think my mom while i tell you you're good looking"
Elena:,,sorry but your mum is clearly the prettier williamson"
Leah: "Hey!"
Elena: "So she's coming?"
Leah: "yeah she is"
Elena: "That's great, I haven't gossip about you with her for ages"
Leah: "ughhh she loves you more than me"
Elena: "That's the funny thing, I can ask her anything and she would answer me"
Leah: "I didn't tell her everything"
Elena: "Does she know about us?"
Leah: "nope" she said, emphasizing the P
Elena:,,WHAT? are you serious right now? I thought I might do a daughter-in-law and mother-in-law talk today"
Leah: "We're not married, it's not your mother-in-law"
Elena:,,ughhh I don't care, now I have to talk to your mum while she thinks we're still separated for 5 years"
Leah: "Elena she's like your mother, you could cheat on me and she'd still invite you to Christmas"
Elena: "Does she have that with Jordan too"
Leah: "No, that's the bad thing, me and jordan were together and she was talking about you at the dining table"
Elena: "That sounds like drama"
Leah: "In hindsight, yes, it was too"
Elena:,,is your brother and your dad coming too?"
Leah: "nahhh just my mum, jacob is at his best friend's birthday party and my dad is at work"
Elena: "ughh"
we arrived and were already standing in the players' tunnel
Beth: "Elena betting round"
Elena: "Okay if you score a goal today, we'll go bowling together"
Beth: "Deal, and if you shoot two we're going to party tonight"
Elena: "wow that sounds good, deal"
We clapped hands and before we left I went back to Georgia because she looked worried and gave her a hugElena: "You can do it"
She just smiled and we walked out led by LeahWe won the game with a sensational 5:0
I scored 2 goals and submitted 1
The other 3 shot Ella and G twice
I was man of the match and therefore very proud of the team
I then walked around the stadium with Leah while the others all got ready
That's when we saw Amanda
And I lifted Leah up so she could get over it
I managed to get through the gang myself
I then hugged her
Amanda: "Hey honey good to see you again"
Elena: "I missed you, sorry I stink I haven't had a shower yet" I said laughing
Amanda: "weirdly you always smell good"
then we let go
Leah: "Can I get a hug too?"
Amanda: "ofc"
they then hugged
Amanda: "ughhh you stink"
she turned to me
Leah: "I really do"
I shook my head in no and smiled at her
Suddenly fans from a seat upstairs are asking if me and Leah would be together.
Elena:,,Nahhhh I told her today that I love her and she replied with 'i love me too'"
I said laughing looking over at leah who was just smiling at me
I looked back at Amanda and she has the biggest smile on earth on her lips and looked back and forth between me and Leah
Leah: "I'm going to take a shower, you're coming too"
Elena: "later...Should I carry you down or do you come down alone"
Leah: "Thanks, but I can do it alone"
I jumped down and helped leah get down anyway haha.
Leah: "Love you"
she whispered softly
Elena: "i love me too"
I whispered back and climbed back up to Amanda
Amanda: "You still love her don't you?"
I looked at the floor and clenched my jaw.
Amanda: "You can see it in your eyes when you look at her"
Elena: "Yeah...It's Leah amanda....I could be 50, get married and have two kids and still think about Leah"
Amanda: "Ask her out"
Elena: "You know I'm not that romantic"
Amanda: "You learned Spanish for her Elena, if that's not romantic then I don't know what is."
Elena: "yeah" I said laughing
Amanda: "God she's lucky to have someone like you"
Elena: "I think sometimes I can be quite an asshole"
Amanda:,,The good thing about you is that sometimes you're an asshole but you're ultimately doing it for Leah and never for you"
Elena: "but in the end it was always Jordan"
Amanda: "Nahhh she told me she still loves you while she was with Jordan"
I looked up from the ground again
Amanda: "There are those bright eyes again"
Elena: "Amanda she's the love of my life, it would be weird if I wasn't happy when I heard that" I said laughing
Amanda: "You're so pretty Elena....and you've gotten really tall"
Elena: "And you look younger every year"
I said smiling
Amanda: "That would be nice." She started laughing and had tears in her eyes
I just hugged her
Elena: "Hey don't cry"
Amanda:,,You've just grown up so much, I remember we had a similar conversation like this 7 years ago when you first told me you were in love with leah, at the time I thought it was a silly teenage crush but if I now you see how you still look at her so in love i just have to cry"
Elena: "She could take Jordan 10,000 more times and I would still have hope"
I said laughing as she wiped her tears
Amanda: "I wish my husband would talk about me like that"
she said laughing
i smiled at her
Georgia: "Elena, come on, you only have half an hour left," she said and tried to get up
Elena: "I hope to see you again soon"
Amanda: "Hopefully you guys are togheter then... get your girl"
I smiled at her and went to G
