This Is Our Year.

Chapter Seven: Knock Out.

I approached him, the four of them and it was so difficult not to smile like a complete and utter twat. But there was some form of comfort, I knew Ben. He was two years above me in school. 

"Lindsay?! No fucking way. When they said your name I just thought it was a coincidence. Holy shit!" exclaimed Ben and came over and gave me a massive hug.  

"Hey! Yeah well what can you do when your parents give you a rugby club for your eighteenth," I said and gave him a kiss on the cheek. And then I remembered where I was.  

"Lindsay this is Ben, as you know, Chris Ashton, Brad Barritt and Owen Farrell," said Steve.  

"Hiya, welcome to the wolf pack!" said Chris happily and gave me a hug.  

"Yeah you're one of us now Lindsay!" added Brad and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I turned and looked at Owen.  

"Welcome Lindsay, guess I will have to take my orders from you now then, hope to be seeing a lot of you around!" he said with a hot as fuck smile.  

I opened my mouth to speak and then...crash.

I opened my eyes and tried to sit up. A sharp pain shot up my neck and into my head, my head returned to what I guessed was the ground. I blinked again and my vision returned. I saw Owen above me and on the other side Ben was leaning over me as well.  

"What did I do? What happened? Did I pass out from all the attractive men?" I said giggling. They both laughed at me.  

"Nah Charlie kicked a ball and it sort of him you and knocked you out cold." explained Owen.  

"That's not something you can say that happened to you everyday is it?!" I laughed and sat up, Owen put one hand on my back, as did Ben. The sharp pain returned. I put one hand on my head and took a deep breath.  

"Lindsay are you okay?" asked Ben.  

"Yeah I'm fine, just got a headache," I replied. I got up and almost fell back over but Owen had his arms around me and stopped me from falling on my face. HOLY SHIT OWEN FUCKING FARRELL IS HOLDING ME UP AND PREVENTING ME FROM HURTING MYSELF URM WHAT.  

"Come on let's get you inside," said Ben. They helped me inside where I became more steady on my feet. I entered the player's lounge just as Lottie was sat on Nils' lap. Lexi then ran over to me.  

"Okay oh my freaking Jesus. He asked her on a date and it's only been an hour! A fucking hour!! And secondly what even happened to you?!" she exclaimed.  

"I got knock out by a ball apparently." I replied and giggled.  

"Are you alright?!" she asked.  

"Yeah I'm fine Ben and Owen helped me!" I explained. I looked at her and she shot me the same look. Which translated as "OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU ARE WITHIN MILLIMETRES OF HIM AND HE IS TOUCHING YOU. HOLY SHITTING JESUS" to which I blinked and gave a subtle nod. I looked over at Lottie who was having an intimate moment, cuddling and Nils was kissing her forehead. Urge what even is life I want this so much but he can't and won't ever know this. I sat down with Ben and Owen when Mark came into the room.
