Who Knew Rugby Could Be So Complicated?

Xs and Os

I left Owen in bed, after spending about 10 mins trying to get out of his grip. I got changed for coaching, Oliver was already awake and I helped him get dressed. "Ready for rugby training?" "YESSS" I tried to keep him quiet but his excitement was bursting at the seams. We both had breakfast, coco pops. I made a protein shake, using some of Owen's who knows if this would be good or not and grabbed Oliver's bag and fruit shoot.

I took Oliver's chair out of Owen's car and ordered us an uber to my car. "Your cars not as fast as Daddys is it? But I like blue cars" "No chicken it's not, but I'll let you sit in the front" he was quite happy with that! I strapped his car seat in my car. We sang some songs, I put the Disney playlist on. We sang songs like let it go and bear necessities.

We got to the stadium and all the early birds were there, the usual high fives and leg hugs happened before I even locked my car. "Everyone remember Oliver?" They all nodded and Oliver joined the other kids while we walked into the stadium. The hour went by really fast, of course Owen came before the session was up. Reminding me of when I first met him. Who knew a year ago I would be seeing Owen Farrell. Once training was over, Owen and Oliver left well at least I thought they did.

I walked to the changing rooms, ready to meet the girls. Abbi and Charly weren't here yet. So I attemtped to spammed their phone to find my phone had already been spammed;
Amelia ring me now your car is not outside Ben's
Amelia
Your cars been stolen
Hey dont matter now I found it in the stadium car parking
Be there in two minutes were running through the stadium now

Those two would be late to their own funeral. I lead the girls on to the pitch to meet Coach.

We did our usual training, I pushed harder than I have done for a while. The sweat was pouring out of me. The coach kept going on about our game against Harlequins. We lost against then twice last season. We were playing in Surrey. I always loved that part of the world. Game on Wednesday.

Coach explained "we have a special guest overseeing our training today" no surely not "everyone welcome Owen Farrell" I rolled my eyes as he smirked at me. "Owen's just here to help us improve. He seen the game at saracens last week and he wants to help us win the league. So no one give him grief especially not you three" Coach pointed at me charly and Abbi. We laughed a little too hard at that. He took over the training season and started being all bossy. The girls tried to flirt with him which made my blood boil but he never even played along. "Dont worry baby girl, I only have eyes for you" he whispered in my ear as we took turns to kick the balls between the posts.

Training finished and everyone headed back to their cars "oliver, Daddys or Amelia's car" Owen challenged him, he looked all cocky knowing Oliver would choose his car. "Amelia's since we sing good songs together!" I chuckled and high fived Oliver. We met Owen back at the house.

"So I'm going down to London tomorrow night, you can come with or stay here?" Owen looked so hopeful "I'm going to stay here we got our last training tomorrow before the game and Coach really wants us to beat them. So I can drive down after that if you want?" He nodded.

"Oliver, Son" he ran through from his playroom. "Mummys coming to get you, you're going to see Granny and then go home since you've got nursery tomorrow. But if you're good at nursery, maybe well go watch Amelia play?" "Can we? I promise to be good" his speech was getting better and better.

"Fine, I'll come to London after the session tomorrow, I may have a few visitors though" he nodded like he knew exactly who I meant. "The more the merrier!"

Holly came a few hours later and got a very tired Oliver, typical Owen was in the shower. I was in my pyjamas, all snug and cosy. Since we decided to have a movie and games day. "Moved in already" she scoffed at me. "No just staying a few nights a week" "you think you know Owen you really dont. Hes still in love with me, he will never stop loving me"

I heard the heavy footsteps sprinting down the stairs, for Owen to appear at my side "I stopped loving you before we even had Oliver, Oliver is the only reason we stayed together" her face dropped and she froze. "I love Amelia, Oliver loves Amelia, so stop being such a stuck up bitch and run off with your younger model" he slammed the door in her face.

Why do Exs always come back and haunt us?
