"Loving the Enemy"||Leah Williamson

###Chapter Eight: Unexpected Reactions

**Leah's POV:**

I pull up to Katie's house in Y/n's white Lambo, feeling a little out of place behind the wheel of such a flashy car. I was just about to knock on the door when it swings open, and Katie, Beth, and a few of the other girls spill out, eyes wide as they catch sight of the Lambo.

"Leah, no way you bought a Lambo!" Beth exclaims, clearly shocked.

I can't help but laugh a little. "Oh, that's not my car."

Beth raises an eyebrow. "We just saw you coming out of it—what do you mean it's not yours?"

Katie's already snapping pictures of the car. "Maybe her lover let her borrow it," Kyra says with a smirk.

I feel my face heat up, and I let out a small sigh, shaking my head. "Yeah, Y/n gave it to me."

Kyra's smirk widens. "Knew it!"

Steph nudges me inside, grinning. "Well, you're going to come in now and tell us everything."

Once inside, I find myself sandwiched on the couch, everyone's eyes on me. "Sooo, what information do you guys want?" I ask, trying to play it cool.

Beth leans forward, looking a little sceptical. "How are you together with Y/n L/n? You told me, like, not that long ago that you hated her, and now...?"

I rub the back of my neck, unsure of how to explain. "It's complicated, but... things have changed with her."

Katie gives me a warm smile. "Well, if you're happy and in love, then we have nothing to say."

**Next Day:**

I'm heading out of the changing room with Kim, chatting about something random. Kyra and Steph had already left, or so I thought. After my shower, I'm feeling relaxed, the hot water washing away the last of the tension from training. But as I'm drying off, I hear loud noises outside, which quickly quiet down.

Once I'm dressed, I step out to see what's going on. The girls are huddled together, talking quietly until they see me. They all turn around, eyes wide, as if I've caught them doing something.

"What's going on? Why are you guys looking at me like that? And didn't you two already leave?" I ask, pointing at Kyra and Steph.

Steph grins, clearly up to something. "We were going to, but then we saw your lover in the parking lot."

I glance around, realizing the whole Arsenal team isn't here, just our close group: Kyra, Steph, Alessia, Kim, Katie, Beth, Viv, and me. "You guys, be quiet. I know she's here," I say, trying to stay calm.

Beth, always eager for more, nudges me. "Then let's go outside and introduce us to her."

I grab my bag and nod. "Okay, let's go."

When we step outside, there she is—Y/n, lounging on the hood of her red Ferrari, sunglasses on, sipping an iced coffee. She looks like something straight out of a magazine, and for a second, I think she's asleep.

**Y/n's POV:**

I'm chilling in my car, drinking my iced coffee, just waiting for Leah. I close my eyes, smiling to myself. I can't wait to see her. Picking her up feels... right, somehow, like this is something I've done before, though I can't remember. I had a bit of trouble with security getting in, but they eventually let me through.

As I'm lost in thought, I hear voices and whispers. I open my eyes and see Leah approaching with a group of women I assume are her teammates.

I swing my legs off the car and stand up, smiling as Leah gets closer. "Hey, baby, how was training?" I ask, wrapping my arms around her in a hug. "You look good."

Leah smiles back at me, her eyes softening. "It was good, and you look good too."

She turns to her friends, and I can see they're all excited. "Y/n, let me introduce you to some of my friends."

I smile warmly at them. "Nice to meet you, girls."

After some chatting and a few pictures with each of them, Leah and I head back to her car. She insists on driving, and I don't mind, slipping into the passenger seat. With the radio on, I start singing along to the music, throwing my hands up in the air, just enjoying the moment. Leah smiles at me, and soon she's singing along too.

When we arrive at Leah's house, I take a moment to look around. It's nice, cosy even, but something feels off. "I can't remember your house, Leah," I say, sighing as I snuggle into the couch.

Leah sits beside me, rubbing my back. "It's fine. How was your day?"

I lean into her touch, finding comfort in her presence. "It was okay. Lisa came by and gave me my schedule. Tomorrow, I need to go to Spain for my new movie, but I'll be back in two days."

Leah's expression doesn't change much, but I can tell she's not thrilled. "Where are you staying?"

I think for a moment. "If I'm right, and from looking at my contacts, I'm close friends with Alexia. She told me I could stay at hers."

Leah tenses slightly. "Alexia? You're staying with her?"

I nod, smiling at the memory. "Yeah, when I lived in Spain for five years, we were best friends. She's my idol; I just love that woman."

Leah's voice is tight, almost forced. "But you love me more, right?"

I chuckle, pulling her closer. "Of course, I love you more."

**Leah's POV:**

Jealousy gnaws at me, the idea of Y/n staying with Alexia makes my stomach churn. I don't even know if what Y/n feels for me is real. If she ever finds out the truth, she'll hate me. It's like I'm an imposter in this relationship.

"Let's post a pic!" Y/n suddenly says, breaking through my thoughts. "And you need to repost it!"

Before I can even respond, she's snapping a picture of us and posting it on Instagram, tagging me. I do the same, but the guilt of this lie weighs heavy on me.

Y/n snuggles into me and soon falls asleep. As I drift off, I can't shake the fear of what might happen if she remembers everything and realizes what I've been hiding.
