A/n: half of you fine line readers haven't read my woso imagines book on samkerrsgf where I originally wrote this chapter, so you all can have it here!!!!
It had been one and a half months since the 2024 summer olympics where the Australian Matildas had won, being crowned the gold medalist and making their country nothing but extremely proud.
It was beginning to get to the point where everyone slowly started to return home, saying goodbye to their fellow teammates before joining back with their normal lives, living with the euphoric memory of that night, when the Matildas took home the golden medal and made a mark on Australian history.
There was only a few of them left now, Kyra, Caitlin, Mackenzie, Steph, Alex and Cortnee had all stayed, planning to take their leave in a few days, obviously staying with them had been their partners, Helen and Odessa had it easy when flying towards France, their season at Swifts had ended with them winning the suncorp trophy and the two wasted no time flying to France together to surprise their girlfriends during the Matildas first match.
Odessa was quite upset that things were slowly coming to an end. It was a looming feeling, the exictement and happiness the Olympics brang had continued to die down with every passing day, knowing that the girls wouldn't see each other for a small while before the Asian cup the following year.
Odessa and Sam were going to stay an extra two days before flying to Perth to visit Sams family before returning back to their lives. Sam playing for New South Wales. Helen and Kyra had survived long distance, but everyone was almost sure one of them would crack and they would end up moving in together, whether it was in England or Australia.
Although Sam told Odessa she loved the New South Wales team, Odessa could tell that wasn't what Sam wanted, Sam wanted to be back at Chelsea, and with their offer to reach out to her, it was getting even harder. Odessa had finished off her contract with the New South Wales swifts, and herself and Helen had secretly signed with an English team. Making their relationships better. Obviously Kyra and Sam had no clue about it.
The girls were walking around the city of Paris, where love was known to float through the air, everyone in the group who had a partner, had them with them. It was peaceful. Things felt right. The stars danced along their heads and the Eiffel Tower sparked behind them. The night felt truely magical. It made them forget that their time was coming to an end.
"I wish we could stay here forever" Sam sighed, her tattooed hand wrapping around her girlfriends hands.
"Well, if you're Ellie, you could" Odessa joked, the two had drifted from the group, making their way to the back.
Sam smiled with a soft shake of her head "might have to swap places with Ellie. This place is beautiful."
Odessa nodded, agreeing with her "magical."
"I can't wait to go back to Aus, visit family." Sam changed the subject, purposely leaving out the New South Wales club.
Odessa chewed on her bottom lip before releasing it "yeah, we need to talk about Aus." She stopped the pair.
Sam scrunched her brows together "what about it?"
"Do you actually like the New South Wales team?" Odessa questioned, she watched Sam nod her head "don't lie to me Samantha."
