Match day warm up

                                    

                                          
Alexiais PoV
Let's just say last night didn't go as well as I expected. After I picked Leah up we drove to the beach where we sat on the sand in silence. At first I was nervous how did I approach the topic. Leah was mad I could see it in her eyes. If I went close to her she would move. 
Flash back
As I sit and twiddle with my fingers I can see Leah watching out the corner of my eyes. 
"Alexia stop with the fidgeting and talk" she snaps
Fuck I've never heard Leah angry I mean I've seen it on a pitch but not in this scenario. 
"Okay...erm" I say I turn to face Leah. 
"I'm sorry" Is all that seems to come out of my mouth. 
"You're sorry...that's it....your sorry" she says tears start to stream down her face. 
I take my thumb and wipe the tears away. 
"Yes Leah I'm sorry it's looks worse than it is" I whisper. 
"You tell me how it's better. You were with your ex, you kissed it's all over the paper and I feel like a mug. I mean we just went public lex"
And there it was "lex" a small smile creeps onto my face. 
"Yes I met up with Olga, she said she needed to talk to someone about some troubles and I guess I felt sorry for her. As for the kiss. She kissed me le, I never kissed her back and some how the media got it on camera. But you say you feel like a mug? Why you feel like something you drink from?" I had to ask I get confused sometimes with the English language. 
I see le giggle a giggle I longed to hear. 
"Not a drink holder, it's a saying I feel like I'm stupid to believe you, I'm embarrassed" 
"Oh I'm sorry but you can believe me Le that is the truth but I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." 
Leah's PoV
I listen to Lex, she seems truthful, she seems hurt that I don't believe her but I'm hurt she even met with an ex is never do that to her. 
"Okay I believe you Lex but I don't trust you and you need to win that back. It's not going to be plain sailing from here you hurt me, I think we need some time to think. We have the match and I don't need to lose focus" I say softly. 
I see the hurt in lexs eyes. 
"So you mean we're broke up?" She questions 
"No we're just having a break, I need time to think about everything and you need time to show me you want me" I let go of her hand. 
"Oh okay, may I have a hug" she asks as I stand. 
I watch as she stands with me and I take her into an embrace. One I won't lie I have missed. God how I have missed her. 
"Okay you need to take me back to the hotel I've got work to do" 
"Oh...okay" Lex says. 
*end of flash back*
Lexs PoV
Since then I haven't heard from Leah. Nothing and I know I need to keep my distance but I need her. 
As we travel to the ground my heart is pumping I know I'm on the hit list now for most of the England squad I mean I hurt their captain. As I sit and listen to my music I scroll through pictures of me and Leah the better times before I fucked it up. That's when an idea strings to mind. I know how to win her back. 
Leah's PoV
As we arrive at the stadium the grounds full of fans I put on my game face and head phones on and walk off the coach. I sign autographs and take pictures but once I'm inside I'm focused I'm ready and I want to warm up.
The girls know to give me space, even before this I needed space before a match before we're ready to go out and me to give my speech. 
I pair up with Kiera, and I can tell she wants to speak to me which makes me smile as she is acting the most awkward she has ever. 
"Talk" I say as I kick the ball to her.
"How are you?"
"I'm okay, I just need abit of time" I say then I explain what happened on the beach and she smiles and shakes her head. 
"I fucking knew olga had something to do with it, you know after olga alexia never had any relationships last." 
"Oh really"
"Yes and Olga ruined them all" 
With this I felt bad for Lex and the way I treated her. Did she have to gain my trust. No. Why did I tell her she did. Because I'm an arse. I need to fix this. That's when I see her. She walks out of the tunnel at first then starts to run onto the pitch. 
Lexs PoV 
I speak with maps as we walk onto the pitch then I start to run into my position for warm up. That's when I see her. Our eyes meet and I see a smile appear on her face and my god I could fall in love every day to that smile. 
I continue to warm up stealing glances with Leah every now and then my heart racing fuck she looks good in her training gear. I hear her laugh and I feel mesmerised. That's when I feel it. 
Fuck. I look around and the team all have their hands over their mouths yet Mapi is laughing. 
"Did you really hit me in the head with the ball" I say sternly. 
"Run" is all jenni has to say and off Mapi goes with me hot on her tail. 
Leah's PoV
As we head back to the tunnel I see Lex get hit in the head with the ball and I can't help but gasp that's when I see her chase Mapi like children, this causing me to shake my head. 
I slow down as I see them walking in. As we reach the tunnel me and Lex walk in side by side. I drop my hand and it touches hers. Our fingers grasp each other that's when I turn my head. Our eyes connect. The room feels stuffy. Like there isn't any air. I want her she's like a drug to me. 
"I love you le" she says softly
"I love you too Lex" I smile.
