Who Knew Rugby Could Be So Complicated?

Shopping

Owen traveled down to London early this morning. The girls were up for coming to London with me. So before training, we all packed and loaded the kit into my car. The girls were super excited. They wanted to go shopping go get some new clothes and rugby boots.

Training went by so slowly, I thought back to yesterday when Owen was here. He motivated me to be better, to do better. I was having an off day, missing easy shots. It's like I was lost. I was nervous about this game, this time I knew Owen and Oliver would be there.

Once training finished we got on the road, I mapped the whole way. The trip consisted of karaoke, I spy and truths. The girls kept asking me about Holly, Owen and Oliver. "Aww, Amelia's the step mummy. Who would of thought she would be the first one to have a child" they were so childish. "Well, Ben is already speaking about having a child" "No way! Owen asked me too" "Me and Ellis are taking it slow" the conversations never stopped.

My phone rang, an unknown number. "Hey little sis" a wave of relief came over my body. "Its the kids half term here, so were going to come down to Surrey and watch your game" "yeah sure that would be nice" dread filled my body. How would he react when he meets Owen. "Were going to stay there a few nights so if you want you can stay with us, weve got a cottage" "yeah well see, depends on how long I can stay down there" I hated lying to my brother "well have a proper catch up tomorrow then, say hi to Charls and Abs for me" "Hey" they both shouted at the car, then my brother started talking to them. "Anyway, midget I'll catch you later, love you" he hung up the phone.

"What are you going to say to Owen?" "Ray's so over protective, how is he going to react about Owen?" The girls questioned I just shook my head "well I'm meeting him after his training session at 6 and were going to get food so I'll slip it in there" they both warned me not to do that, he needs to know in a more relaxed environment. I didnt know what to do. Luckily we were only 15 minutes away according to the sat nav anyway.

We got to Owen's I had his spare key, which the girls kept making comments about. "Hes ready to take it to the next level" was the last comment Abbi made before we entered the house. I put my stuff in Owen's room and the girls in the spare room. They had to share a room because the other had Oliver's bed in, so guess I had no choice but to go into Owen's bed. We got changed into something other than tracksuits.

We headed into town, I havent been shopping in London before. We decided to do a quick tour of the touristy bits like Big Ben, which was still in scaffolding which made it more disappointing. Oxford street was busy. We went to selfridges. It was a shopaholics dream. I hated shopping.

The girls picked up everything, they kept looking at stuff for me. "We need to get you something new for tonight, show him what hes missing" charly was adamant that I needed to look 10/10. We went to Mac, they gave me a make over which made me look completely different. I was shocked. All the girls got make overs too for the fun of it. I brought some red matte lipstick to finish off the look.

"Your face looks amazing! Just need an outfit that matches that face" Abbi was in heaven, she loved this stuff. "Defintely, but best hurry up or Amelia will be late!" I quickly looked at my watch and it suddenly turned into a supermarket sweep moment. We grabbed a load of outfits and I got pushed into the changing rooms.

I got all hot and bothered, changing into numerous outfits. I tried the last one on. Blue flowery shorts, white top which rested on my shoulders, with open toe white wedges. The outfit was finished off with a white handbag. "That is perfect! Simple but effective" the girls jumped up and down like theyve just won an award. They stood there and admired their handywork.

I got changed and we headed back to Owen's with bags of clothes, make up and shoes. Of course we all brought new rugby boots. We didnt need them but oh well. I remembered how much I hated tubes.

I suppose time to get my hair done and finalise my look. I cant believe I'm about to go on a date with Owen. I thought we would never get to here.
