It's been 3 weeks since El and I had that conversation about her moving to London and getting a job at Arsenal. I drove her to the train station the next morning so she could go home, finish packing up her things and spend some time with her family.
A week later she made the trip down to London in her car, seeing as it was easier for her to drive rather than take the train along with all of her things. This way she'll have her own car and she won't have to depend on me for rides.
It's November 16th today meaning, one month left of the season and then El turns 22 the day after our last game.
I'm with Katie and Leah, walking around different shops, I'm trying to find a gift for El and they're looking for Christmas presents.
"Sooo..." Katie starts.
"Sooo..." I mimic her, hoping she'll get to the point.
"What are you getting El for her birthday" she questions.
"Sara doesn't know what she's going to get her, hence the reason for our presence" Leah says. Such a know it all.
"Exactly, soo...what should I buy" I ask the both of them.
"How the fuck would I know" Katie asks, before saying "She's your bloody girlfriend mate"
"Woah K. No need to be jealous....you'll get a girl that'll stick around...someday" I laugh at her and she punches me in the stomach.
"Oi...behave the two of ya" Leah scolds us, not wanting to make a scene in such a crowded place.
Sometimes it sucks being a public figure...
Being expected to behave like a role model...is worse.
"Won't happen again captain England" Katie jokingly salutes her.
"You're no better...cApTaiN IrElaNd" I mock her in a sarcastic tone.
Somehow Katie and I managed to lose Leah and ended up in a toy store. I saw a football and we started a game of keepy uppy. Katie being the bastard she is, sent me a low, hard pass and before I could even think to react the ball hit me in the crotch.
"Fuuuu..." is all I get out before I fall to the floor trying to catch my breath because of the pain while Katie tries to catch her breath from laughter.
When I manage to catch my breath and stand up, Katie starts running for the door. I quickly catch up and tackle her to the ground.
"I-I-I'm sor-sorry" she gets out between laughs. I get my revenge by punching her in the crotch, and now she's the one on the floor, trying to catch her breath.
We both get pulled up off the floor by our arms by (really fucking angry) Leah and dragged out to the car.
"What the BLOODY HELL were you thinking, getting into a fight in the middle of a fucking toy store" she's MAAD.
"She star—" we both began to say, getting cut off by Leah.
"Just shut it. I don't want to hear a word from either of you until we get back" she says.
When we finally get back, both Katie and I run past El, going straight to the freezer, taking out the ice packs and slumping down on the sofa.
"What the hell happened" I hear El ask Leah and I'm just gonna assume that Leah's ranting about it.
I take off the skinny jeans that I wore and place the ice pack under my boxers, Katie does the same but has on shorts instead.
"I don't think I'll be able to make babies anymore" I say making Katie laugh.
