A/N: This is quite a long one.
The Championship season started on 20th of August, the day after we played Crystal Palace at home. It sadly ended 1-0 with a goal from Isabella Sibley. The WSL was due to start on the 9th of September but the Queen passed the day before so couldn't. It moved to the 16th and Arsenal played Brighton which I went to. Played at Meadow Park and witnessed a masterclass.
Arsenal 4-0 Brighton
Love to see it. Leah started but got taken off in the 83rd minute for Lotte Wubbon-Moy. When she came off, she saw me looking down and gave a wink. I could feel my cheeks heat up instantly.
That season I was at my best. Scoring, assisting, POTM's and a player of the month. Can't complain at all. My time with London City Lionesses and the season in the Championship came to an end in the January transfer windows. Many clubs were looking for me.
Brighton, Manchester United, Aston Villa and a couple clubs outside England. A team that stood out to me, and would everyone else but especially me, was Arsenal. How could they want me?! And it's Leah's team aswell.
An update to me and Leah: We don't know what we are. We've kissed countless of times, gone out together, cuddled, taken pictures together and been seen with fans together.
Anyways, I obviously chose Arsenal. Melissa Phillips, the manager before Carolina took over, already made a meeting for me and Jonas. He already knew me as I would drop Leah off at training sometimes before I made my way over to my own.

I get into Jonas' office just after their training ended. I didn't want to see any of the girls even though Leah was on my mind, if I saw them it wouldn't be a suprise.
"Jonasss" I smile as he shakes my hand.
"Niamh, just the person I'm looking for" My face lights up with a big smile.
We went through what my number would be, when I meet the girls and my first training. My number will be 17, like at LCL. Some money was involved but I'll skip that bit out. I couldn't wait to get into the changing rooms one day and seeing 'Yates 17' on an Arsenal shirt.
"We meeting them soon?" I say as the time has come. Before I arrived, I didn't speak to Leah, Beth (that I met at the pub) or Lotte. I've known Lotte for a while now so it was quite hard. Me and Jonas agreed on meeting them in their meeting for the next game. Against Chelsea. Of all teams, fucking Chelsea.
"So before we look at the tactics and how they play, can I just welcome someone?" I could hear as I stood outside the door waiting for my queue. I kept walking up and down the hallway until a young lady, about 20, asked if I was ok.
"Nervous?"
"Very" We laughed until it was time. As I opened the door, everyone's face turned to me as I went next to Jonas with the biggest smile ever. My eyes went all over the room and everyone was shocked. A few of the Lionesses were stood up with their hands on their head. Before I knew it, Leah's arms were wrapped around me.
"You fucking bitch, why didn't you tell me" We all heard her say into my shoulder which we all laughed at.
"Suprise, early birthday present" I smile as she pulls away from the hug. She nodded and pulled me to her seat. Luckily, the seat next to it was free so I sat there.
"Wanna kiss you so bad right now, Niamh" She smirked as my cheeks heated up. I nudged her and she laughed softly. Fuckkk, the things that does to me. After the quick meeting, and introduction, it was my first training. I got told about the cameras for the AWFC Instagram and that they will only post it when I post my transfer on mine.
