Too Much - John Stones

Punching

Johns POV

When I woke up I took and shower and then walked back into the room that Kyle and I was sharing.

"You know there is more news that Brad has a boyfriend compared to you having a girlfriend" Kyle laughed.

"I'm pissed that I called her my girlfriend, I was gonna try and plan something"

"To be fair she would probably prefer that to something personal"

"She may not prefer it but she deserves it, I don't think any guy has ever done something like that for her so I thought it would be so good" I explained.

"I feel like if she wasn't happy with it she would of said" Kyle shrugged.

"Guess what!" Bradleigh then entered our room.

"Yeah we weren't just having a private chat or anything" I rolled my eyes.

"John be a supportive boyfriend" Kyle joked. "Please carry on Brad"

"So I have just got of FaceTime with Sky 1 and they want me to start filming for a league of their own as soon as I get back!" She clapped all excited and and sat down on my bed.

"Well how are you going to do that? I swear they film in like Borehamwood?" I asked.

"I'm gonna stay with the sidemen guys, they said it was fine. It won't be for long just like 3 weeks or so"

"3 weeks!" I exclaimed.

"John, why are you getting like this?" She began to get annoyed. "I thought you would be excited for me"

"Well what's pep saying about this? Surely he's not just going to let you go for 3 weeks" I began to argue with her. I have just managed to fuck up asking her to be my girlfriend and now she's going to London for basically a month to film a tv show with all these sports stars and comedians.

"There are other people in the media team you know?"

"I'm not saying I'm not excited for you" I huffed.

"Well that what are you saying?"

"I think what John is saying is that you two are in a new relationship and your going to London for a month is just a bit daunting for him" Kyle read my mind. "Let's face it, John is punching with you so" he laughed which I replied with a punch to his arm.

"Look John, a month will go quick and you will be on international break for part of it so you will probably be in Wembley anyway. Manchester is only a car journey away anyway" she smiled. "And I think I'm punching with you anyway" she planted a kiss on my lips.

"Okay you two are so fucking cute" Kyle clapped just to ruin the moment.

Training today consisted more of cardio than actual football. After a long warm up Pep announced that we are going to be doing the Beep Test which we all hated at the most of times but in 35 degree heat it made it unbearable.

"You think that you can do a football match if you can't do the beep test? Well your wrong!" Pep shouted "you want to do the quadruple? Then fucking train" he added getting more and more serious.

Although the test didn't technically last long, about 25 minutes or so, it felt like the longest 25 minutes of my life. I always thought it was easy at first, i mean it would give you like 10 seconds to run 20 metres but it was when you got to level 13 or 14 you would really start feeling shitty, each length felt like a marathon and you had only just gotten halfway through it. Once level 21 was completed you had finished the test and although it was such an amazing feeling completing it at the same time I wanted to actually throw up everyone and die.

"Surely this is inhuman" Kyle was lying on the grass tipping water over his face. I was bent over, sweat dripping from everywhere of my body.

"Okay guys that was our last training session out here, please do enjoy the last few days here. Well done" pep clapped. Kyle decided to race me up to the room to see who could shower first. I quickly gave up and took a gentle walk back to my room.

"Where you off too?" I asked Brad as she walked past me but going down the stairs.

"I wanna get out" she moaned. "I've been inside all day on a call with PrettyLittleThing and then I have been editing, I feel like I've missed the whole day. So I'm going shopping" she clapped.

"Well I would offer to come with you but you see I have people to see, places to go" I joked. But seriously there was no way I was going to shopping with Bradleigh, even if she was now my girlfriend.

"As long as you have some space left in your case that I can use it's fine by me" she giggled and then continued to walk down the stairs.

When I got into the room Kyle was already in the shower. I took of my sweaty clothes and quickly put on a pair of joggers whilst I was waiting to use the bathroom.

"Hey mum, thought I was give you a quick ring" decided to FaceTime my mum. "Where is dad?" I then asked.

"He has decided to rip the kitchen one and fit the new one in himself, what an idiot I know" she rolled her eyes. "Peter! Johns on the phone!" She then shouted. I heard my dad then put some tools down and come over to the screen.

"Ah John, how are you mate?" My dad smiled. My dad and I had always had a very close bond, he was the first one to kick a ball at me, the first one to take me to my first football game and the first one to buy me my first kit.

"Yeah I'm doing good actually" I smiled.

"Yeah this new bird of yours seems to be helping you" he smiled.

"Peter! What have I said about calling girls birds!" My mum hit him over the head. "What your dad is trying to say is that your new girlfriend seems lovely, different you know, in a good way"

"Yeah you know what I think you guys will really like her, I mean I have known her for a couple of months now and look"

"So when do we get to meet her?" My dad then asked.

"Yeah that's one thing I would change about her, she works all the time! When we get back to Manchester she is going straight to London to film for A League Of their Own, and if she's not doing that she's got some new fashion range coming out and then she also works for City and also her channel so, she never really has a spare hour or two, let alone a day" I explained.

"John you know I'm always going to worry about you" my mum huffed. "You will always be my baby you know that"

"Right mum why do you always get like this, everytime"

"You'll understand one day, when you have your own little ones. Oh my god, maybe Bradleigh is going to be the one to have my first grandchild" she then began to get all excited.

"Yeah anyway, I think this is time for me to go, love you both" I smiled and hung up.

"You didn't deny that Brad might be the one to have your first child with" Kyle laughed as he walked out the bathroom.

"Imagine how good looking our children will be" it was now my turn to have a shower.

"Yeah maybe if they get like 99% of her genes, I suppose you have nice teeth or something" he shrugged.

"Prick"
