"Omg Leah I'm so happy to see you"
I hear as Kiera comes running up to me in the airport. It had been a long while since I had seen her last. Arsenal finished second in the WSL, we won the continental cup and I was happy. The euros were coming up and I had stress on top of stress and one thing I could count on was Kiera to take my mind off things.
"Hey stranger I missed you" I smile taking her into a hug.
"I missed you too so you ready to see Barca beat Lyon" she grin.
"100%, this sun aswell is something England is lacking" I laugh.
"Not the best for my fair skin but it's something I'd miss if I come back to the UK" she laughs as we walk to the car waiting for us.
"Get in losers" I hear Lucy shout.
"There she is the heart throb, the one the only, Lucy bronze" I shout pretending to fan girl making Kiera laugh and Lucy roll her eyes.
On the way to the apartment I have to ask as I haven't and I feel like if I don't I'll regret it.
"So what happening with you two?"
Lucy and Kiera both look at each other.
"So I'm with Ona and Kiera is with Laura and we decided we couldn't live without each other so we remain the best of friends no animosity between us we're good" Lucy says Kiera nodding in agreement.
"Oh thank god so it won't be awkward I like that" I smile
"Anyone in your life we should know about" Kiera asks
"Nope you know me ke I'd tell you if anyone but right now I'm enjoying myself if anyone comes along I'll see what happens"
With that I feel at peace I feel happy and I'm ready for this break before the euros.
After I unpack I get ready Kiera and Lucy already left for the stadium and I will meet them there. I put on a retro Barca top and some shorts, my hair up in my signature pony tail and a light makeup as the weather is that hot I'm scared it will melt off my face.
The car picks me up and I take in all the sights in the way to the stadium Barcelona is beautiful full of stunning buildings, stunning people and the most vibrant flowers filling some building walls. I feel lucky to be able to just drop things and see places like this.
"Mam we're here" the driver says and I hop out heading to the entrance. I take my seat and I'm surrounded by players from all over the world all there supporting their friends or partners. I take my seat and feel a thud next to me.
"Oh, lo siento" I hear as I look to the side I see a brown haired girl.
"It's okay" I mumble fuck I don't know Spanish.
"Oh sorry I didn't mean to bump you like that and I didn't know you were English"
"It's okay. Are you okay though?"
"I'm good, so who are you here to watch" she asks
"My best friend Kiera and Lucy. You?" I ask
"My sister"
I smile as she fumbles with her phone.
"Sorry I'm alba"
"I'm Leah"
"Leah...Williamson right?"
"Yeah"
"Yeah I know who you are"
"How?" I feel confused.
"Your the team who won the last euros, my sister was so pissed" I giggle
"So who's your sister?" I ask
"Oh number 11" she says my eyes scanning the pitch. Shut the fuck up.
"Alexia putellas is your sister"
"Yes amazing isn't she"
"The best" I smile, that stupid smile you know the one where you smile at everything the person you like does. You end up looking proper goofy. Pull it together Leah. I shake my head and focus as the game starts.
The game all in all is tough, it's scrappy it's a fight as both teams want to win just as bad as one another. Alexia isn't playing and it concerns me why they wouldn't play the best player in the world. My best friend however is and I couldn't be prouder. It's 1-0 to Barcelona at half time and you can see the determination in the players from both teams that this isn't enough for either of them. I grab a drink and talk to a few players that I know about general life but as soon as second half starts I'm glued to my seat.
The game is neck and neck and in the 88th minute alexia is subbed on. Alba screams as she watches her sister take to the pitch the crowd going crazy. She definitely oozes confidence like she knows how to conduct the pitch I guess that's why she is the best. Within two minutes I watch as alexia runs up field, she gets the ball and without thinking she strikes it soars like I've never seen before and it's in. It actually goes in, my god what a goal. With no thinking she rips her top off and runs, Lucy not far behind with alexia's top holding it up to the cameras. She's amazing. Wow.
The match finishes and the celebrations begin. I say goodbye to the players I know and head down to the exit when I'm dragged back by alba.
"Where you going?"
"Oh I said I'd meet Kiera back at her place"
"Don't be silly your coming with me let's see them"
I smile. I like alba she's kind, like very trusting even when she's just met you.
"Okay yeah"
I follow her down the hallways she obviously knows this place well. We step onto the pitch and Keira spots me.
"Leeeeee" she screams running and jumping into my arms.
"You did it babe so proud of you" I say when I feel Lucy jump on us both making me stumble a little.
"Look at you still got it at your age" I tease her.
"You're only jealous" she winks at me.
"Always lu, well done you both played amazing."
The next thing I know is my arm is being pulled and I hear alba speaking Spanish. As I turn my eye meet the most soulful grey ones.
Alexia.
