Defender Of My Heart

Chapter 32

Chapter 32 – Your POV

Waking up I felt an arm wrapped around my waist and I turned to look and see Leah suddenly last night came back to me. I lifted her arm up grabbing my clothes and going to the bathroom to shower and change. I tip toe into the kitchen deciding to make some pancakes as that always helps me when I'm a little worse for wear. Mixing the batter, I start to cook them placing them in the oven on low so that they keep warm until Leah wakes up. I grab all the toppings you can think of Nutella, sugar, lemon juice, strawberries, raspberries as well as yoghurt. Leah was still asleep, so I grab my laptop and started to do some work waiting until she woke up. It must have. Been about 20 minutes before I heard noise coming from the bedroom, the door opens, and I see Leah emerge walking into the kitchen with a sleepy smile on her face.

"Good morning" I smile looking up from my computer.

"Morning" she clears her throat "Have you been up long?"

"About an hour" I say smiling.

"Shit, I'm so sorry" I go to stand up and head to the kitchen.

"Don't be sorry, I'm just glad you're safe after last night" she looks at me with a quizzical look on her face.

"Last night? What happened last night?"

"You left your keys with Keira, and she left you, so you would've been out on the street" I say, she scratches the back of her neck.

"Ah yes, I remember now".

"Are you hungry?" I ask opening the oven and turning it off keep heated.

"Starving" she states.

"Good! Take a seat, I made pancakes!"

"That sounds delicious" she sits down opposite me and digs in. "Oh my god best pancakes ever"

We sit and chat eating breakfast.

"So have you got a busy day planned?" I ask.

"I've got to go and see the physio just for some pre match exercises" I nod.

"You've got the Conti Cup final next week don't you?" I ask.

"Yeah we do, I always forget how much of a fan you are" she poked my arm and I laugh looking down trying to hide my blush.

"Shhhh, I can't help it I'm in the presence of greatness" I exclaim and Leah chuckles.

"I was wondering if you wanted to come and watch the final? I have a few spare tickets and I'd love you there"

"Can I get back to you on that? Just need to check that I'm free!"

"Yes of course"

"Thank you for the invitation!" I say.

"No worries, have you got a busy day?" she asks.

"Not really just a relaxing homey day"

"Well, if you're free why don't you come with me to my physio then we can grab some dinner after?"

"Uhhhh I'm not sure I don't want to impose".

"You wouldn't be, I want you there plus you're my PR manager".

"One of your PR managers" I correct her and see her rolling her eyes.

"Well, the only one I like" she says and I laugh standing up and putting the plates inot the dishwasher.

"Okay so say I was to come for a purely work-related visit what sort of time would I need to be there?"

"Well, why we take a taxi and head to mine, and I'll grab what I need then we can head there together and I'll drop you back after?" I sit in thought for a few seconds before I see Leah standing up and clapping before making her way over to me and pushing me towards my room. "Go on grab a bag and your stuff I'll call the taxi".

I walk into my room and start gathering my bag with a scarf and charging bank and lip balm and makeup. Looks like I'm heading to Arsenal training centre and not as a fan...

As a +1!
