- Welcome back Jasmine -

Jasmines POV.

Me and Leah get out the car and head to the boot to get my stuff, i ring the car rental place and tell them to come pick it up as i pay the rest of the deposit for the rental. "thank you, adios." and i put my phone back in my back pocket.

"Are you ready to go in?" Leah asks.

"Mhm" i nod.

"come on then."

I grab the rest of my stuff and wheel my suitcase into the hotel and head to my old room. "So you've been living in this room alone for the past three weeks?"

"yep. pretty boring but i deserved it i guess."

"i'm sorry for leaving, i regret it because of missing nearly all of the world cup so."

"it's okay, you had every right, time to focus on getting yourself ready for the final though ay?" she smiles

"yeah, should we head down to see everyone?" i ask

"yes ofcourse." And with that me and leah exit our room and i lock the door behind us, i'll unpack later.

We arrive downstairs to see all the girls celebrating the win in the seating area.

"SWEET CAROLINE, BAM BAM BAAAM" the girls sang. A smile appears on my face, god i missed this girls so much.

"GUESS WHOS BACK BITCHES." I shout getting everyone's attention. Everyone runs up to me and gives me a whole group hug and starts welcoming me back.

"Welcome back, Jasmine" Jordan greets.

"Thank you" i fake smile at her. Fucking skank.

"JASMINE"
"LUCY"
"JASMINE"
"LUCY"
"JASMINEEEEE"
"LUCYYYYY"

I jump into lucy's arms and kiss her forehead.

"BESTFRIENDS REUNITED BABY" we shout at the exact same time.

I carry on hugging and greeting everyone, i get greeted by Sarina, "don't run away again" she says. I laugh and reply "yes boss". She hugs me and welcomes me back in the end so at least i'm not in the bad books.

I leave the girls to finish celebrating by leaving a little earlier than everyone else. I go back up to the room and look in the mirror of the bathroom. i look down at the sink and notice a piece of paper sat on the bathroom. It was a tally counting days of something. 21 days, 3 weeks of me being gone. She's been counting down the days of seeing me again, cute.

I hear the door handle turn as Leah opens the door. "You've been counting down the days" i say without looking at her and still looking at the piece of paper on the counter.

"I have, it's been weird without you being around me 24/7. I guess i just missed you."

"You missed me?"

"a lot" she takes a few steps to the counter and stands next to me and takes the piece of paper from the counter. "wont be needing to count the days anymore though so i guess that's a good thing" she says as she opens the bin and screws the paper up and throws it in the bin.

"you actually missed me?"

"yes Jasmine. i did."

"oh okay"

"yeah" she mumbles.

I turn to look at her, "i don't know how long it will take for me to gather the trust back for you leah, i want to try again with you but you have to respect how i feel about you at the moment and i like you, i've haven't liked someone like this since me and my ex broke up. and i want to trust you but i just need to build that up." i explain.

"what do you want to do then?" she asks.

I push myself off the counter to stand up without leaning on it and i take a step forward to Leah.

"i want you to answer this is the most truthful way possible, so it's a yes or no." i ask and she nods. "is it only me you want now?" i ask.
She doesn't even hesitate, she smiles and makes deep eye contact.

"Yes, you are the only one i want Jasmine."

I pick up one of her hands and kiss the back of it. She wraps her arms around my neck and i put my hands on her waist. I can tell she wants to say something to me, "what do you want to say?" i ask "Oh it's nothing." she replies. She leans in to kiss me and i kiss her back, it was soft and gentle. Not needy, not like we want to rip eachothers clothes off, just gentle and sweet.

We both smile into the kiss. "don't go drunk necking off with Jordan again leah"

She nods her head and smiles "i wont, i promise."

We bring eachother into a long hug and stay there for a few minutes in silence until we go and get ready for a long nights sleep. She goes over to her bed and i go over to mine, i switch the lights off and get comfortable.

"Goodnight Leah."
"Goodnight Jasmine."

And with that we both slowly drift off into a deep sleep.

(still jasmines pov!!)

I wake up at around half 5 in the morning unable to get back to sleep, i decide to go on a run.

I get changed and put my shoes on and walk out the door of the hotel room and then out the hotel building. I set up the timer and the mile tracker on my watch and begin running. I start to get faster and faster until i get to a good pace to stay it. I always go on runs, i feel like it's a good way to just get outside and take the time to think about everything but also keeping fit at the same time. It's easy exercise basically and i love running. Over these past 3 weeks i've been running everyday and going to a nearby gym as well to keep my fitness up, i wasn't just going to slouch around a hotel for 3 weeks. I've explored Australias beauty in 3 weeks without being noticed by the paps or any fans which was amazing can't lie. It's been so relaxing and the time to myself has done me very good. But it's time for me to get back into kicking the ball into the back of a net, finally.

————————————————————

it's a wrap, yuhhh.
