Forbidden Love- Leah Williamson

Chapter Six

Maeve

I wanted to kiss her.

Our lips were so close together, and I wanted to kiss her. As our bodies lay close together, my breasts pressed against her chest. I saw her look at my lips, it was right after she had invited me to come with her to Australia for the world cup.

Of course Skye would be there, I doubt Leah and I would even have that much time alone together anyway.

I hear my phone ringing as I enter my bedroom after making my way back up the stairs. I really couldn't be bothered for Emily right now, but as I reach my phone I notice that its my mum calling me.

"Hey mum" I answer the phone. I lay on the bed stomach down with my legs behind me kicking. I hadn't really spoken to her much since getting fired, she knew of course; I think Skye had called her.

"Hello darling, how are you doing?" she asks me.

No one had actually asked me this in a while, asking me how I really am doing. If I was being honest, it wasn't good. My life was just going downhill. I had been fired and my girlfriend was an asshole.

The only thing that was good for me was the fact that Leah had offered me to spend the summer with her. I guess that part of my life was getting better, at least I would be able to travel.

"Okay I guess" I speak, I lay my head down on the bed with my phone by my ear.

It was 9am and I still had the rest of the day to go. I had nothing to do. I guess I would just walk around London and I guess blow the savings I had to make me feel better.

If I was good at one thing it was spending money I didn't have.

"How is Skye, is she treating you okay?" my mother knew how Skye and I could be. A lot of the time we could argue, but she's not even woken up yet so we haven't had time.

"I mean yeah, she was late picking me up but-"

"Oh im sure she didn't mean to" she coos over her. Skye can never do any wrong in my mothers eyes, "did she make up the room all nice?"

"Yeah she did, its actually nicer than my Edinburgh bedroom" I say.

I normally hated being away from home, but right now the place felt more like home than anywhere else. I didn't want to be around Emily, not did I want to go home just yet.

"Maeve honey, you know you can come home whenever"

"I know mum, but I think I just need more time" I say, "also, Leah invited me out to Australia for the world cup with her and Skye.

There was some silence, my mum adored Leah, as did my dad. They thought she was the nicest girl to ever live. I don't blame, them, she is pretty cute.

"That's so lovely of her" she coos over her, my mum had always supported my dream to become a writer.

Of courser she never actually read anything that I wrote, I wouldn't let her. I didn't want the feedback, I would rather just think im my head what I was doing was good.

Living in delusion was my favourite thing to do.

"Yeah... I think I might go. It means I can travel and-"

"Emily isn't going is she?"

Why does everyone hate her so much?

"I don't know mum, she might" I snap

I knew she wasn't the best girlfriend, not by any means but everyone was always so rude to her. I felt a level of protection over her. I wanted to prove to everyone she wasn't a complete asshole. I saw the nice sides when they were there.
