As my eyes adjust to the morning light creeping through the gaps in the curtain, I look next to me, to only be met with a naked leah cuddling into the side of me, remembering back to lastnights events.

I turn my body so I can reach my phone.

5.34 am

My alarm was set for 6 do there's no point trying to go back to sleep.

I was debating to get up and get ready for the day ahead, but I didn't have the heart to leave leah.

Leah began to stir, as the morning light creeping further into the room.

As leahs eyes flutter open, I moved a strand of hair that was in her face

"Hey you" I smile

"Hey" she says in her croaking morning voice

"You can lie here a bit longer but I need to get up so atleast one of us is ready in time" I joke

"Shut up" she says moving her head into the crook of my neck

I laugh slightly, before tapping leahs arm telling her to let go of me.

As I sit up on the edge of the bed, I rub my eyes before getting up and walking to the bathroom to take a shower.

I finish my shower and wrap the towel around me as I step out the bathroom. I scan the room as leah is missing from the bed, I look towards the mirror by the wardrobe to see leah doing her make-up.

I walk over to the wardrobe to grab my England kit for the flight.

As I began to walk over to the bed, I stopped in my tracks just behind leah, me standing behind her in her view I the mirror.

"You don't need makeup, you know, your beautiful with out it" I tilt my head at her through the mirror

"I hope you think I'm beautiful" she jokes causing my to giggle
"But thank you I guess" she adds

"Your more than beautiful to me, meu amor" I say before bending down and planting a kiss on the side of leahs neck.

I than make my way over to the bed to get dressed.

I put on my Calvin klein boxes before putting on the England tracksuit pants, then I threw on the England hoodie to match the pants.

"If I'm sitting next to your sitting by the window, if your wearing nothing underneath that hoodie" she smirks

I give her a confused look, not understanding why I have to sit by thr window seat too.

Then she winks at me, then it clicks.

"In other words you cant keep your hands off me for just 22 hours" I tease

"Ya I can't get enough of you" she says standing and making her way over to me

I smirk as she stand infront of me.

"I'll give you a demonstration of what's gonna happen on that flight" she teases

"Oh ya?" I tease back

Then I felt her cold hands slip underneath my hoodie, making me tense my abs as the cold sensation. Her hands roaming all around my abs, her fingers tracing every curve.

I looked down at her into her eyes, she licked her lips.

I began to lean in but as our lips were about to me she took her hands away from underneath my hoodie and swerved me before walking away grabbing her packed suitcase in her hand.

"Come on" she said nods her head towards the door

"Tease" I say before grabbing my suitcase and following behind her.

As the team bus parked outside the airport, I glanced out the window seeing loads of England supporters sending us off to Australia. But as I was looking, I began to think brazils crowding supporters were never this big when sending us off to a big football event.

Leah and sarina had to be first out the bus as they were captain and manager. As I stepped out the bus, some of my new teammates were signing jerseys and taking pictures. I didn't expect to be called at by fans since I just got an England call up, but as I slowly approached the airport entrance with my suitcase, I heard a good few fans shouting my name.

I turn my head to see a few fa s waving me over.
I walk up to a fan, who looks about 16 or 17.

"Hola, how are you?" I smile at her

"I-im g-good...wow I can't believe I'm really talking to the Lucia de Silva right now" she smiles excitingly

I laugh at her.
Wow the English really do know me, guess katie was right.

"Do you want a photo?" I ask politely

"Ya please" she says handing me her phone

After I took her photo I went to sign a girls jersey who was standing next to the girl I just took a photo with but before I signed the jersey, she says

"My sister is going over to Australia to watch you play against Haiti, she saud shed love tl meet you" she says

I look over to her
"Tell her dm me on Instagram and ill see what I can do" I smile before walking over to another group of fans

As I walked throught the airport, yapping away with Georgia, we finally found the rest of the team sitting down just talking and a few on their phones just to pass tine till our flight was ready.

I see leah and her gaze meets mine. I see that there is also a free seat beside her. I turn to look at Georgia but she's already gone off with tooney and alessia.

I make my way over to leah and plonk myself down into the empty seat beside her.

"Hey you" I say

"Hey" she says slightly bluntly

"Everything OK?" I ask

"Ya" she says giving me a slight smile

"Ok" I say not wanting to press it if there is anything wrong.

After we boarded our plane, I sat by the window where leah wanted me to, but leah wasn't talking to me alot.

After we have taken off and at a steady rate  in the air, I began to feel tired. I tried staying awake, my eyes feeling heavier the second. Every blink my eyes closed longer each time.

As I begin to drift off, I felt leah tap my arm causing me to jump slightly.

"Sorry didn't mean to frighten you, but are you ok I was calling you?" She asks

"Ya, ya I'm fine just tired" I admit

"Oh...I'll let you sleep so" she slight smiles at me

As i turned my head back to the position it was at before nealt jumping out of my skin, I felt leah place her head on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and my hand found her hand, our fingers intertwining as we dift off to sleep.

__

My eyes flutter open, I feel a heavy weight on my shoulder, I slightly move my head to look at my should to be met with a sleeping leah. I smile at the slight before me.

I carefully grab my phone, not wanting to disturb leah, and check the time.

12:08

I slept for three hours, more than I thought.

I really hope this flight goes fast, I mean still got 13 hours left and leahs asleep on my shoulder, so I can barely moved since I don't want to disturb her, so I cant really do much.

I just sigh and close my eyes again, hoping to fall back to sleep.

After 13 boring hours flying, we finally landed in Sydney.
