The right love

Leah's pov:

"So you two don't talk anymore" Lily asked

"No we still smile at eachother and we're civil, but she doesn't trust me anymore. I love her still ofcourse and i think she loves me still but she'll never forgive me." I said as I drank my water in the cafe

"From what I've heard about both of you, yous need therapy. Yes, you had an affair, which was horrible, but she slept with one of your best friends and doesn't talk about her mental health at all. You're both never gonna be good for each other if you don't sort out your mental health." She sipped her coffee

"Ugghh, why are you always right." I sighed

"Because I've been here before Leah and Grace seems like the perfect one for you."

Me and Lily have known each other for over a month now. We always meet at the cafe every couple of days for a chat. She's like my therapist, but I know I need an actual one. Lily is by far one of the most dirty minded people I've ever met, it's what makes her so funny though. We're both helping each other move on by talking about our problems and drinking, of course. I have to talk to Grace about all of this.

I have late training today at 1, but I decided to come in earlier to try and talk to Grace.
"Hey Lia, you seen Grace?" I asked

"Nope, she's probably not here yet. Why are you here this early?"

"I need to talk to Grace and warm up" I replied

"Warm up? Sure hun, I'm gonna go stretch ,you should come to." She laughed as she walked into the gym, I followed behind her

We stretched as the rest of the girls and staff joined us in the gym. I still haven't seen Grace yet which is strange. Maybes she's sick or is late. London traffic is a joke at the moment.

"Okay girls ,time to warm up, dynamic movement warm up then weights. The weather is horrible to train outside, so for now it's weights and tests." Jonas said as he grabbed his clipboard and went to the staff meeting

"I hate weights" Beth complained from behind me

"That's cause you're weak, Bethany" I laughed as I adjusted the height on the smith machine for squats

"You can't say much twig arms" I heard the thick spanish accent say

"Okay hulk, we get it. You're strong, no need to brag." Beth scoffed at Grace

"Leah you were looking for me?" Grace questioned

"Right yeah. Can we talk about this in private. Your office?" I requested

She didn't reply but simply walked towards her office and shrugged for me to follow her. I followed behind and closed the door after me.

"Do you still love me?" I blurted out

"Yes, I'll always love you. No matter what" she replied as she logged into her laptop

"Yeah, but that's like something you say to your mate. I mean like, are you still in love with me. Romantically?" I mumbled as I fiddled with the bobbel on my wrist. Well her bobbel.

Grace's pov:

"Yeah, but that's like something you say to your mate. I mean like, are you still in love with me. Romantically?" She mumbled

I looked over at her and saw her looking down at her wrist as she fiddled with the hair tie. I gave her that one, I'm sure of it. I slightly smiled at the fact that she still wears it.

"I love you, Leah. I always will. Whether you kill someone or hurt me again. I'll always love you. Romantically, that is. I hate that i love you, that I'm in love with you. We're so wrong and yet so right for each other that it doesn't make sense. " I sighed as I rested into my chair

"I know you don't trust me ,and you don't talk about your past, which makes you deal with things differently. I hurt you, but you've hurt me before. I know that we can at least try to fix this, fix us. We just need to talk about it, about everything. We need to talk about it with someone else." she said

"Someone? Like an encoger" I questioned

"Okay, that's not taught in Spanish class. Let me google translate that.  What is it you said again? " she panicked, clearly confused by what I said.

"Like a shrimp. No? I don't know the name of it like someone you tell your past too."

"Shrink" she corrected me

"Yes, that thing."

"Therapist Grace, i think we should talk to a therapist. I want us to make this work. I love you Grace ,and only you." She said

"Okay" I mumbled

"Okay? Like a yes okay let's do this or.."

"Let's do this. I want us to work. I miss you too much." I interrupted
"We'll arrange the details later but for now Williamson back to weights.  Before Jonas kills me." I laughed as I got up to open the door for her

"Okay" she said as she got up and followed me

Before she walked out the door, she quickly pulled me into a hug. Her arms draped over my shoulders. I moved my arms around her waist for the first time in months. God, I've missed her. She squeezed me tighter before letting go.

"I'll see you in the gym. Edwards" she said as she walked off

"Yep" I whispered to myself
