We were only at St George's park for a couple of days this time around, so the next morning flew by with only a couple of dribbling drills being done. Before I knew it, Leah and I were back in her car on our way to London.
"So, are you-" Leah began when she turned to her left and saw that I was already fast asleep next to her leaning on the window.
Leah smiled to herself and turned the radio down a couple of notches to not disturb the sleeping forward.
Noelle still hadn't told Leah what exactly had happened whilst she was on the phone but she could guarantee one thing, Mason Mount had something to do with it. Saying that Leah wasn't his fan would be an understatement, she would be quite happy to not have anything to do with the boy ever again if it wasn't for Noelle. Noelle had cried for a good 15 minutes last night whilst she stayed wrapped up in Leah's arms, in the end she'd only stopped crying because she'd fallen asleep. Leah snuck out of the room once Noelle had fallen asleep, covering her with a blanket and leaving a kiss on her forehead before she left.
She made sure to drive smoothly on the way home, not wanting to wake me up after the night I had last night. I eventually stirred around 2 hours into the journey.
"Oh God." I groaned, "how are we still driving?"
"Very rich coming from the girl who's been asleep for 2 and a bit hours." Leah laughed.
"Do you wanna come in when you drop me off so I can make it up to you?" I said, without realising what had actually just come out of my mouth.
"What an offer." Leah smirked.
"You know what I meant, you dick." I blushed and Leah laughed at my clear embarrassment.
"I'll come up as long as your boyfriend isn't there because as much as I love you, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than be in his presence." Leah smiled, sarcastically.
"First of all, that's so dramatic. Second of all, he shouldn't be. Let me text him." I replied as I pulled out my phone.
