IF I GET MY WAY- Marcus Rashford

16-IRL marcus &Leigh

3rd person

Leigh dragged Marcus all around the shopping centre trying to get presents for the girls and the staff of mixer HQ. She currently stopped in sports direct to buy some new football boots and stuff since she wanted to get back into the hobby.
Her and Marcus we're arguing about getting the Nike mercurial or the Adidas predators. Leigh gave up in the end because Marcus kept winning the argument.

Seeing some young fans outside the shops they stayed to take a couple of photos. One fan took Leigh-Anne and Marcus' attention to surprise by asking them a quite personal question;

Young fan: are you both together?

She asked with a puzzled expression. Her small chubby cheeks Leigh's heart but the question was the devils burden. Marcus looked in the opposite direction but closely listening in.

Leigh: well we're not , maybe I'll like to but this is our little secret, okay?

Leigh smiled at her, even if the secret came out she'll be happy either way the little girl was adorable.

Young Fan: Your secret is safe with me.

She sweetly giggled as Leigh gave her a hug. Leigh gave her a necklace she was wearing it was a little gold chain with a little crystal stud on the end of it.

Leigh: Merry Christmas, it's a little present from me to you, I got this when I went Japan on tour.

The little girls eyes lit up. She engulfed Leigh into a large hug.

Young fan: Thank you.

Leigh waves goodbye to the little girl as her dad gets his ears chewed of by the little girls experience which he literally just witnessed.

Leigh-Anne was basically done with all the shopping... or that's what she thought. A flamboyant pink sign stood in front of her which said 'Victoria Secret'. Marcus wasn't paying attention, he was on his phone. Leigh grasped his arm and dragged him into the shop. It wasn't until a minute later Marcus realised where he was. His eyes widened and began to aggressively whisper into Leigh's ear.

Marcus: why the fuck are we in here leigh?

He keeps his head down trying to avoid eye contact with everyone. Some of the other ladies were laughing because of their same situation with there partners.

Leigh: well you agreed to come shopping with me and if you go now I will not forgive you.

Leigh struggled to put together the sentence through her snickering. Marcus just pressed his lips together in embarrassment.
A man just simply walked over to Marcus.

Random man: You'll get used to it mate, getting dragged about with your girl . At least it will work out in your favour when you see them in it. Especially one like her.

The man laughs as he walks off.

Marcus couldn't believe what he just heard. He just pulled his hat over his head . He just followed behind Leigh.

Leigh: what did the man say to you?

Questioning Marcus, she stood there admiring the display of a red lingerie set.

Marcus: um no- nothing...

he said in a nervous stutter.

Leigh: Aww is lil Marcus embarrassed?

Leigh teased him casing Marcus to sink into his hoodie.
Keeping his head down on his phone. His attention was caught by Leigh waving her hand in front of his phone trying to ask a question she was trying to say for about a minute by now.

Leigh: which one, red or black?

Leigh held them agains her to see which will suit her. Marcus was in awe; he kept imagining Leigh in it but he was caught in a day dream.

Leigh: Marcus hello?

Leigh laughed. She knew what was going through his little head. In fact she did hear what he said in costa a couple of hours ago. It was now her mission to agitate him.

Marcus: Um red... you'll look- I mean it looks nice.

He nervously laughs through his little mistake he made- Leigh just turned around and giggled, one of the staff members look at her and laughed alongside her.

After another long torturous twenty minutes they were, Marcus sighed at finally getting out of the shop. After regaining himself, he can finally function.

Leigh: well I need to get a cab home.

Leigh said, hugging into the coat as the icy wind hit her.

Marcus: wait I thought you drove here?

He stood stiff with his hands stuffed in his pockets.

Leigh: I was but I ended up getting an Uber, it was more efficient.

She said. As the wind hit her even more, she stood into Marcus chest trying to avoid the wind. Marcus wrapped his arm around her. He couldn't help but think about her; he fucked her over so much but he hopes he still has a chance, he can't help but feel content with her. Although they are young, he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. He was falling for her.
Falling for her hard.

Marcus: it's too late and dangerous to get a Uber back at this time especially to somewhere about an hour away. At least let me drive you home.

Leigh: Marcus you know you can't do that, you have training tomorrow don't you. I'll book a hotel or something if it's that much of a problem for my safety for you.

Leigh replied . Marcus was trying to think about what else he can do, he doesn't want to leave her by herself.

Marcus: there's no point of paying for a hotel when you can just stay at mine for free.

(He shoots, he scores) Marcus smoothly pushes the offer into the conversation.

Leigh: Alright, I'll stay yours if you insist.

The both trail off to the car park together; Leigh gripping Marcus' arm tightly to warm up.

Oh shit Leigh knows what Marcus said ahaha. Little does he know the feeling is uncanny. The next part or more may have some borderline fluff or smut...in between the both so like...
fl-u-t or sm-u-ff. eh idk I'm babbling but finally shit is going somewhere with the both of them wooo. I need to incorporate the LM girls in these more but I think that's gonna be later really. I'll say jade may be more in the incoming chapters or add a group chapter idk but any who since I've basically got a storyline to build upon strongly now and it's now half term (although I'm revising through it all because Year 11 sucks) I'll be uploading most nights I guess across some of my books, mainly mine.
