Only You

Relaxation & Long Journeys

Florence's POV

After last night with Le we ordered in pizza, neither of us could be bothered to cook after a day of cooking and... other things. Then just spent the evening cuddled in each others arms watching shitty reality TV. Neither of us payed much attention though.

Leah was tracing over the lines of the tattoo on my spine - a motion that had quickly become my favourite thing over the past few weeks, the light grazing of her cool fingertips on my hot skin had a way of bringing so much comfort. She was always so careful and light with her strokes it made me sleepy and then I'd crave the feeling of being tightly wrapped in her arms.

"Do you think you'll get more tattoos one day" the blonde spoke gently, her curiosity not stopping the movements she made on my back.

"Mhmm definitely... I love them. Giving them too, I've always loved the idea of having something that can be so meaningful put on your body permanently. They can tell stories and represent aspects of people's lives that are so important to them and that's really special. So yes, more for sure"
My voice was muffled with my face being half buried in the duvet as I revelled in the relaxation that stemmed from Leah's touch.

"I love your tattoos... I didn't know you tattooed other people though"

"Hmmm" I grinned rolling over to look her in the eyes "there's still plenty you don't know about me Williamson"

"Well, I hope we can change that Reid, I want to know absolutely everything about you" She said emphasising my last name.

Leah didn't like when I call her by her last name, usually telling me off and saying 'Don't call me that I'm your Le, my last name sounds too formal when you say it' and to that I'd usually laugh and reply with 'sorry my Le' and kiss her cheek.

"We'll definitely change that Le" I smiled softly at her but my head was being slowly infiltrated by memories of the experiences that I hate are part of me, the familial issues that one day I'll have to properly make Leah aware of.

The morning rolled around too quickly and me and Leah were taking our time showering and then eventually dragging our suitcases into my car to make our way to the training centre.

Jonas had decided that we'd travel the whole way to Germany by coach, the long journey being ideas as a method of team bonding. His plans to strengthen the team usually being effective however this journey was now going to be about 15 hours instead of a 2 hour flight, the thought of which not the most pleasant but I was honestly buzzing at the idea of being with all the girls and training at Adidas HQ.

"Are you gonna sit with me on the bus darling" Leah questioned as we headed to get our cases out of the boot once we'd arrived.

"Oh do you want to?" I asked a little bit confused

"Uhh yeah... do you not want to" she now asked equally as puzzled

"Of course I do I just thought you might have like a routine bus buddy, you know? Like who did you sit with before I joined the team? I don't want to pull you away from them"

"Ohhh, nah don't worry about that everyone switches all the time. Besides you're my favourite now" she winked, taking my suitcase for me and loading it onto the coach as I made my way on inside to find us seats.

The mission was easy considering we were the first to arrive, Leah soon joined me in the aisle and directed us right to the back of the bus making a joke about it being 'more private'.
