New coach

Two months later

"Where is James?" Leah asks frowning as she looks around the training grounds. "Training starts in ten."

Viv shrugs her shoulders as she passes the ball back and forth with Katie and Lotte, glancing over her shoulder as she feels Leah hug her from behind and chuckles. "No idea Le, want to do a two vs two?"

"Hell yes." Leah breathes. "Dibs on Goattie!"

"You can't just call dibs on her," Katie whines.

"I just did." Leah teases as she sticks her tongue out, Viv shakes her head as Katie just crosses her arms with a pout and chuckles.

"Come on move your arses." She breathes grabbing two vests for herself and Leah.

"Little, Williamson, Miedema!"

"Or not." Leah muses as one of the meds yells for them and Kim, she turns on her heels and smiles. "Yes?"

"You have a meeting in the office." The Med informs them.

Viv shrugs as Kim and Leah both turn to her in confusion and nods her head to the building, she wraps her arm around Kim's shoulders as Leah walks in front of them and follows the tall blonde down the hall to the office.

She stands back as Leah knocks on the door, following her in as soon as they hear James tells them to come in. "James?" They ask in unison.

"I thought I could introduce the three of you to your new coach, before throwing her into training the crazies."

"Wait, why am I here?" Viv asks in confusion. "This is something just for capta..." She cuts herself off with a squeak as strong arms suddenly hug her from behind and quickly pulls away. "What the..." She cuts herself off once again after whipping around and squeals. "Sar!"

Sarina leans forward holding her stomach as she laughs loudly and covers her mouth, Leah and Kim both glance at each other in amusement, simultaneously turning to Viv and chuckle. "Damn Vivianne." Kim starts teasingly.

"Going full girly with that squeal babe." Leah laughs.

"Oh mijn god Viv." Sarina chokes out still laughing. "Dat is de eerste keer dat ik je hoor gillen meid // That's the first time ever that I heard you squeal."

Viv blushes as she hears James chuckle and rubs her face. "No word." She steps closer to Sarina and hugs her tightly. "What are you doing here Sar?"

"Didn't you hear James?" Sarina asks in amusement.

"Well yeah, I did." Viv breathes frowning in confusion. "But, you already coach the Dutchies please don't tell me..."

"I'm not leaving the Dutchies, Viv," Sarina reassures with a grin.

"Sarina will coach Arsenal and the Dutch national team," James informs them as Kim and Leah also frown in confusion. "It will be a bit stressful at times but Sarina is convinced that she can do it."

"I am," Sarina tells them confidently, James just nods his head with a grin and stands up.

"I will leave the four of you to catch up and talk, I will tell the girls to enjoy a coffee and to hit the pitch in forty minutes."

"I think we can talk a bit after training." Sarina turns to the girls and smiles. "If you have time."

"Of course," Kim tells her with a kind smile as Viv and Leah just nod.

"Perfect, let's go and train first."

Viv follows Sarina out of the room turning to Leah and Kim as Sarina talks to James and raises an eyebrow. "So Sarina." She whispers.
