One of the things I love most about Leah is how supportive she is. I'm not a professional sports
Player like her, but she still try's to come to all of my netball games she can, which isn't a lot as it's on Sunday, and she a lot of the time she's playing a game or traveling somewhere. But today she's able to come watch my netball game, which luckily is the one I'm captaining.
"Have you got everything babe?" Leah asks as she waits downstairs for me.
"Yes!" I shout, quickly grabbing my netball shoes and sprinting down the stairs.
"Woah there." Leah says holding out her arms for me to fall into, as I come down the stairs a little too fast.
"We don't want you to be injured before I even get to see you play. This is the first game all season I've been able to come and watch, I want you to actually be able to play." She laughs wrapping her arms around me.
I smile up at her. "I know, I'm so excited."
Leah smiles and kisses my forehead, "me too." She says.
I might just be playing a regular Sunday league, but Leah is still very committed to watching me and supporting me from the sidelines.
I'm on the outdoor court towards the end of the row, so Leah gets to sit in the stands instead of stand and watch.
During my warm up I look over to see Leah with her hood up and sunglasses on - to try not draw attention to herself, as she said she wanting to be 100% there for me today - smiling over at me.
I smile and wave towards her before getting called over to have our team talk.
I am put in GA, and given the captains band to wear. Once the other teams captain and I do the coin toss, my team gets ready to have the ball first. We huddle in a circle, while I shout the chant, which they repeat. Once ready, we get into our position.
Leah's pov:
Today I was lucky enough to have no game, which means I'm able to watch my girlfriend play netball. I'm so excited, I haven't been able to see her play since last season, when I was off with my ACL.
The game is going well, and it's a plus no one has recognised me, I want to be fully there and present for y/n game.
Y/n's team is quick to dominate, with y/n being a key player. I can't stop smiling, she's amazing. The way she moves to quickly, and gracefully on her toes is mesmerising. Y/n quickly gets the ball near the hoop, pushing it out of her hands and into the hoop.
I smile, standing off my seat as I cheer for her. The people around me just give her a small clap, so maybe I look stupid, but I really couldn't care less. My girlfriend just got a goal.
And it happens again and again. She's on fire. During the half time break she brings the girls into a circle, giving them some game tactic, all I can do is smile. She's brilliant, a true captain.
"Team on 3, 1, 2,3 TEAM!" I girls shout together.
The game is going well, y/n's team is still winning by a mile. I can't stop smiling. Quickly looking down I grab my coffee, going to have a slip, and as I do I hear shouting. It sounds exactly like y/n.
I look up to see her and the GD of the other team going at it.
"She fucking pushed me!" The GD shouts towards the ref.
"I stuck my foot out to get the ball, get a fucking grip on yourself." Y/n says back.
I go to stand up, as things are quickly getting heated. The GD had now pushed y/n back, she stumbles but doesn't fall down. Na fuck this, don't put your fucking hands on my girlfriend.
I quickly get down from the stands and start walking over towards the court. But before I can do anything, y/n has.
"You wanna try that again?" She sneers, pushing her back, harshly, making the GD fall to the ground.
"You bitch." The GD sneers.
"Come on, try me." Y/n bites back.
The ref quickly holds up two yellow cards, one for my girlfriend and one for the GD.
"Back in to position, if I see that again it's a red for you both." The ref shouts.
Y/n nods, getting back into position to wait for the throw.
I smile proudly, she handled that so well on her own.
One the game is over and the team talks are done, y/n quickly makes her way over to me smiling.
"Did you like the game?" She asks, kissing my cheek.
I smile at her and nod.
"You were very good, and hot, I liked the way you handled that situation and stood your ground."
This causes y/n to blush and take my hand.
"Let's go home." I say smiling down at her.
"Can we grab something from the cafe down the road first, please?" She asks.
"Obviously, my amazing captain." I say as we walk towards the car.
While we sit at the cafe, I see y/n looking off into the distance.
"What's up babe?" I ask.
"Do you think I was too mean? I shouldn't have pushed her that hard." She says frowning at me.
I shrug and take her hand in mine across the table.
"The bitch had it coming. I was about to do the same thing, you just did it to her quicker."
At this y/n smiles and takes another sip of her coffee.
"Thank you for watching, I know it's probably not too exciting, I'm not a pro sports player like you." She says.
I scrunch my eyebrows and frown.
"Why would you say that? I love watching you play. And plus you are amazing at it, it's not like I would be any good at playing netball." I say trying to make her smile.
She nods and looks back up at me.
"Thanks for being there to support me, I love when you're able to watch." Y/n says, causing me to blush slightly and smile.
"And I love to watch you play. You don't have to thank me, I'm your girlfriend." I say kissing her hand and smiling back over at her.
"I think you should captain your team more often." I say.
Y/n laughs and nods her head.
"Then I can be just like you." She says smiling.
