I arrived at Cobham training ground a little late but it didn't matter much as I was only there to watch reece and the others train as I had nothing else to do today.
I walked over towards the grass where I heard shouting and laughing, it was honestly nice to hear. I saw my brother, reece, almost instantly and he called my name and beckoned me over to him.
He laughed at my outfit which consisted on a pair of joggers and a hoodie I found on the floor. I punched his arm lightly and laughed with him. As we laughed, Ben came over and slung his arm around me

"Siennaaaaa fashionably late as usual"

"Shove off Ben im only like an hour late, plus perfection takes time" I said as I gave him a sarcastic smile

"Whatever" Ben smiled and waved as he walked off to speak with their new manager, Enzo.

The boys seemed to like their new manager, it was nice to see them enjoy training instead of looking as if there'd rather be anywhere else. I had only recently started coming to training again as Reece had been out with a bad injury and I didnt see the point in turning up. I had also been really busy with modelling, it's so demanding.

The fact that I had finally got free time wasn't the only reason I started coming back to watch the boys. A new player had arrived mid-season, Cole Palmer, and he caught my eye almost instantly, although I didn't want to try anything as I had recently got out of a long-term relationship with another footballer.

I walked over to the fence and jumped up to sit on it. I had missed sitting on the fence watching over at the guys just enjoy themselves. It wasn't comfortable but the laughs I had watching them made up for it.

As I watched the boys, I couldn't help but stare at cole, he looked more than attractive while jogging around and occasionally moving his hair out the way with a quick movement of his head. I'm sure a few times he looked over at me and his eyes lingered on me for a few seconds before resuming his concentration on playing football. Maybe it was just me fantasising but still. I couldn't help but feel a slight blush creep to my cheeks everytime I looked at him, which was more than often.

An arm round my shoulder shook me out of my gaze and startled me

"You alright enna?"

I knew who it was almost instantly and they knew i hated being called that.

"Nonziiiii" I smiled and gave him a hug. He hadn't been at chelsea long but we became close friends after the first day of meeting. He's one of the loveliest guys there and he's so friendly to everyone. He's the only one who knows about my little fancy to cole.

"Staring at your lover again are you?" He smirked as he teased me

I rolled my eyes but a small blush crept to my cheeks

"Just talk to him sienna, everytime he's with us you go all shy and awkward"

"No, I'll make a fool of myself and then he'll never want to be with me-"

"Who won't want to be with you?"

Shit.

I knew who's voice that was. Great timing.

As me and Noni were talking, we hasn't realised cole had walked over to join us.

I felt myself go bright red as I looked over to noni to save the situation.

"Just a guy on instgram we were talking about, sienna fancies him and won't DM him"

Thank god noni is so good at getting out of situations. I made a mental note to thank him later as I walked over to Reece.

"You alright sis"

"Yeah I'm fine" I glanced over at cole who was already looking my way. I blushed and looked down at my feet. God I've never met anyone who made me feel this way.

Reece eyed us weirdly and I knew if I wanted to keep my crush a secret I'd have to be less obvious.

Reece told me that him and the team were going bowling this evening and that they had all invited me to join them. I obviously accepted and was even more excited when I found out my closest friend Maya was coming too. We met through the modelling industry and become inseparable. What made it even better was that she was Ben's sister so we saw eachother all the time.

𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞: 5:58

I was rushing round my room to get ready, I had to leave in 15 minutes and I still hadn't picked out an outfit. I had done my hair and a little makeup, only mascara and lip gloss as I didn't see the point of doing anything too glam.

I decided on a long sleeved blue top with black cargos. It was simple but still made a statement.

I met up with Maya and we drove in her car since I still hadn't passed my test. Or even started lessons. I always relied on others to drive me places, passenger princess I guess.

We parked up and we saw that all the boys' cars were already there, I looked at my phone and the time read 6:45. We were late. This doesn't help the mocking around my time management issues.

We joined the boys at our lane and I instantly sat down on the seats.

"Tired already?" cole said as he made eye contact with me

Just hearing his voice gives me so many butterflies

"It's hard work looking this good all the time" I smirked

"You don't need to try to look good, you know that?" cole looked serious and I couldn't hold off the smile that was creeping upto my lips.

We started the game and everyone started off really well. Apart from cole. He did awful for the first round and everytime his turn came up I couldn't stop laughing. It felt as if we were getting closer and I finally wasn't acting like an awkward mess around him.
