The Way I Can

Leah's Pov

I watch the blonde girl get pulled up the stairs by that Ana girl. They are both beautiful but Abby. Holy I don't think I've ever seen someone so beautiful. She's short but not too short, ripped, has the most gorgeous unique freckles that I think I could count for hours. And these are just my thoughts from seeing her for a minute or two. But the thing that makes her the most attractive is you can tell she knows how hot she is. And that is so hot.

"Jesus she is so fucking hot. Jessie how do like coexist with both of them and not go crazy." Kyra says taking the words out of all of our mouths.

"No way you two haven't been involved" Rachel says from her spot beside my ex, Jordan. How the fuck she got invited is beyond me. I hold my breath waiting for the Canadian to answer. 

"Yeah no. I mean we tried I guess? She was visiting Cali while I was going to UCLA and we went on a couple of dates but we really quickly realized we were going to be way better friends. And through the last couple of years we just got closer and closer. So when she needed a place to move to I told her to come to London because I love it here. And she did. She's my best friend I don't know what I would do without her. And Ana is great. Where Abby is harsh Ana is smooth. I don't know If that makes sense but they even each other out." the Canadian rambles out.

"So you haven't slept together?" Katie asks seeming surprised.

"Hell no. Once you've seen her the way I have you see her for way more then just her looks, she truly is 10 times more wonderful than what she shows people. Like that outburst she just had was probably the most mad she has ever been at me and it was not that bad." 

The way jessie speaks about her makes me jealous. I want to know Abby the way she does. I also breathe a breath because that means Abby is probably single, since jessie did not mention anyone else in Abbys life.

"Is she dating anyone? Or like girls" Lia asks from beside me. She's normally not a nosy person.

"Jesus let the girl live or ask her yourself. We should not be talking about her business like this especially when she's not here." I say making everyone turn to look at me clearly hearing my frustration.

They all mutter some version of "your right I'm sorry" before breaking off into separate conversations. I fall into conversations with viv, Beth and Lia.

Abby leaves about twenty minutes after Ana had pulled her up the stairs. She was wearing a very short red silk dress that showed off her wonderful arms and legs. I don't know if I want to be her or be with her. Actually I do know the answer. I want to be with her. She smiles at us all before saying bye and leaving. I don't think I'll ever be able to get her off my mind. her smile is just as beautiful as the rest of her.

 Towards the end of the night Im borderline gone. I keep watching the door incase the blonde decides to walk through that door, but to my misfortune she doesn't. 

Me and Lia are standing towards the outside of the room. Giggling and planing how I'm going to get to know Abby. 

"Your beautiful inside and out le, you just have to show her that. And I would become friends with her friends it will give you an excuse to be around her more, and in my opinion her friends seem pretty dam great." Lia says leaning against the wall. 

"She just seems perfect." I say looking around the room. Honestly Abby was not far off when she said the whole WSL was in her living room. "And I just don't wanna mess it up if I do get the chance. She deserves to be loved the way I know I can."

"well then do everything you can to show her that."Lia says.

"I'll try my best." I say before I see someone bring out a karaoke song and you know I fuck with that. After singing multiple songs I go to get a drink of water from the kitchen. I lean against the counter trying to sober up, knowing I'll regret it in the morning if I don't. 

Im loving life until the one person I have been avoiding all night decides to walk in. Fuck. Jordan walks in and she looks the same as she did when we were still dating. I see the smile lines on the outside of her face, she's getting older.

"Cant you take a hint?"I ask her. I haven't talked too her in months on purpose. Ive ignored her invites to get coffee and her trying to talk to me after games. I want nothing to do with her.

"Comon Le-" she starts

"Don't call me that. Only my friends can call me that" I say to her cutting her off.

"Im sorry. For everything really" she says like that will make up for everything she's done.

"Jordan don't waste your breath you know those words will never make me forgive you for all the cheating and lies. You cheated on me with someone younger than me. Then said she was just your friend while continuing to keep cheating on me. I will never forgive you for that. I had to find out through your fucking mum." I say. Now I'm so mad. 

She steps closer and closer until she's right in front of me. She looks at my lips and I don't know why I don't push her away as she stands on her tiny toes to connect our lips. Her hands wrap around my neck and my hands find her hips. But it's not a nice kiss. Its probably one of the worst ones I've had.

The door opens as I push her away. I look up to she the girl I that hasn't left my mind all night standing in the doorway. Fuck. I push Jordan away more. What the fuck just happened. 

"Im sorry" Abby says as she quickly leaves the kitchen.

I turn to Jordan. "Never fucking do that again"I say as I leave the room.

AN: Just to do a little background info. Abby is a billionaire because she owns a clothing company called Y.O.U. which stand for your obviously unique. the brand is a general neutral brand that took off around the time Abby and Jessie met (spring of 2019) so all the stress and growth made them closer because of jessie moving to Chelsea and Abby becoming the owner of a huge business. Abby is Canadian but grew up on the west coast of Canada where jessie grew up in central-east coast Canada, and they met through instagram. Abby doesn't like people knowing she's rich so no one knows she's the owner of Y.O.U. Jessie and Ana are her only friends that know. This book starts in the October after England winds the euros. Abby has only lived in England for a month and a half at this point.  Thanks for reading! don't be afraid to comment I love knowing your thoughts!
