Why do we fall in love?

9. Back to work

I woke up to my alarm, I pulled myself out of bed and got everything ready for the day. I get in the car and drive to the training center. Once there, I get out of the car and take my bag and go inside. but I'm stopped by Bella's voice,
"Emma, ​​wait" I stop and turn to her "hey Bella, ready for work?" I ask as we enter the training center.

"So how was your weekend?" Bella asks me. "Well, let's just say we have a lot to talk about" I say as we walk towards our office."What do you mean we have a lot to talk about, what happened?" Bella asks as she takes her seat, and I do the same firmly in mine. "well..it started with me telling Ava that I liked girls.." I started telling Bella.

"And that's how Leah got my number and has lots of messages from me when I'm both drunk and not drunk" I finish saying everything that happened this weekend and Bella just looks shocked. "eh.. ok.. that was a lot of information .. eh.. what did you write to her?" Bella asks and I don't want to say it so I give her my phone and say "see for yourself." I see how her eyes open in shock when she reads the messages. "oh my god, she's flirting with you" says Bella and I roll my eyes "No she doesn't, we work together, she's just friendly" I say with a little hesitation at the end, Bella wants to answer but my mobile gets a notification and she gets a smug smile when she sees the message. Why should people text me when someone else has my phone? "She's just being friendly" Bella says sarcastically, handing my phone back so I can see what it says.

Leah

Leah: you looked nice today

I don't know why but I blushed at the message. "It was just a compliment, anyone can say a compliment" I say before my phone gets another notification, I look down and read the message.

Leah

Leah: Why do you leave me open love?

I try to ignore the feelings I get and write back

Leah
Me: I didn't leave you open with meaning, I just have a lot to do before the tests me and Bella will do on you guys.

It's like Leah is waiting for me to write back because she answers me right away.

Leah

Leah: If you say so boss.

I have never blushed so much in my life, I shut down my phone and look up at Bella who has a knowing look on her face. "Just friends huh" Bella says and I reply "stop we have a lot to do for the tests" I say to end this conversation "you just don't want to admit it, you're smiling with your whole face" Bella says to me, and that's when I realize I haven't stopped smiling since Leah texted me, I stop smiling and roll my eyes "shut up and work" I say and Bella just laughs when she sees how much I want to end this but she brightens as well and starts working.
Me and Bella went out on the pitch and set everything up. "Do you think we need more cons?" Bella ask me, and I look around to see, No, I don't think so"

A few minutes later the girls showed up "okay girls we're going to do the beep test today" I say, and they all groan. "okay, it's not that bad" I say and Bella says "let's get a heart rate monitor and go to me or Emma to get it, then we'll start as usual" When Bella finished talking everyone went and did as they should, I helped some girls with the heart rate monitor, then Beth came and it didn't go as fast as the other girls, "How were you on Sunday because I was almost dead" says Beth as I'm putting on her heart monitor "I'm probably as bad as you, I've never been so drunk in my whole life" I say to Beth "You looked pretty drunk to be honest but you looked pretty cozy with Leah" Beth says to me now looking straight at me and fuck I feel myself getting hot just from talking about Leah, why does she have this effect on me. "ehh, we just dance, you and I dance too, plus we work together" I say trying not to look her in the eye "Me and Viv work together so it's a bad joke and you were really that close " Beth says to and and she has a point but I don't have time to rant until someone interrupts me and Beth. "What are you guys talking about?" asks the voice and I know immediately who it is, Leah. "Nothing Beth was just about to leave" I say as I look at Beth so she knows she should go and she just laughs and says "yeah I was just about to leave, she's only yours" Beth says to Leah and leaves."what can I help you with?" I ask and Leah hands me the heart rate monitor and turns around. Then she pulls up her shirt, and I honestly think I died. I can't move. I stare at her bare back which is so fit. "so much for being professional" Says Leah who snaps me out of my thoughts and I start putting on a heart rate monitor on her "sorry " I say when I'm done, Leah pulls down her shirt and says "Don't say sorry love, you can look at me as much as you want" she says to me and I blush, Leah starts to walk away but stops next to me oh bends down to my ear, I can feel her breathing against my neck. "I wouldn't say no to looking at you, love" Leah says and walks away. My knees almost give up, I don't want dirty thoughts but, I would let her. god this is wrong i'm not supposed to like her like this. "Emma, ​​hello Emma '' I'm pulled out of my thoughts by Bella "we're going to start now" she says and I nod and follow Bella to where we're going to take the tests.

The tests have gone well so far, everyone has done well, some things we need to change. Now is the last group to do the beep test, the group that Leah is in. I'll just try not to look at her. It shouldn't be that hard, right? It's starting to run and so far so good, I don't watch Leah's a lot, just a little. When it's done, everyone lies down on the ground and some start to sit up after a while. Leah sits facing me, and she pulls up her shirt, damn her abs are so damn nice. I can literally stare at her abs for the rest of my life without getting tired. I look her up and down, how can be so pretty, it shouldn't even be human. I look up at her face again, but now she's looking straight at me, fuck. Should I look away or not, I don't know what to do. Leah stands up but we keep eye contact. I've never felt this way before. We just stare at each other until someone calls out to Leah and she turns her head, but I'm still looking at her. When she looks back, we make eye contact again. she gives me a wink before walking away. I feel the butterflies in my stomach. "Emma, ​​can you stop having dirty dreams about Leah and help me and we can go home" asks Bella and I get out of my head "of course I'm sorry" I say and start helping her in with the things.

Bell and I have finished everything for the day and are on our way to our cars. "are you ready for the game this weekend?" Bella asks me, "I'm a bit nervous, after son I haven't been to a match before" I confess to Bella "You have nothing to worry about, I'm with you" Bella tells me when we arrive to our cars "thanks, but see you tomorrow" I say and hug Bella "see you tomorrow" Bella says before we jump into our cars and go home.

When I got home I didn't do much. I continued reading my book until Ava called "hey girl please tell me you're not reading again" Ava said to me and I roll my eyes "you know I like to read so I run away from reality" I say, but Ava has never liked to read. Me and Ava talk a bit before I have to go to bed and hope I won't end up in the same situation with Leah tomorrow.
