She got ready for the day starting to pack some of her things before heading down to breakfast.

“Maya sit here”. Ella asked, from across the room.

With a weak smile she nodded her head and sat down.

“How are you feeling?”. She asked.

“Okay”. Maya lied, she definitely didn’t feel okay.

“How’s Teri?”.

Maya sighed picking at the tape still on her wrist. “She’s good but i’m worried i’m gonna let her down, it’s just not gonna work out”.

“Well, i’m sure whatever happens, it’ll happen for a reason”.

“Yeah, i guess so”.

Maya still couldn’t get you out of her head, yes she enjoyed the company of Terland but it never compared to how you made her feel.

After breakfast Maya packed the rest of her bags, contemplating whether to take teri’s phone number.

She looked at it for a good five minutes until placing it in the bin, it wasn’t gonna work out.

-

The plane journey went really quick and before she knew it Maya was getting a taxi back home, back to Mocha, back to you.

It took her a few seconds to get the courage to knock on the door, until it opened and she saw you.

You opened the door and there she was. Maya. she was gone for only 10 days but it felt like eternity.

“I’m…um so sorry”. Maya said with her head down.

You looked at her for a few good seconds, before you had to break the silence.

“Maya I forgive you”.

“What?”. She replied, confused

“I said I forgive you… but are you and her still together”.

“No”. Maya shook her head.

“Are you sure?”.

“It was nothing serious”.

“Okay, I don’t care whatever you did, as long as it’s over now…i just want you”.

It took Maya a while to take in that information, she couldn’t believe she could be forgiven after what she did.

“I um- wow, how can you forgive me?, I fucked up”.

“because may, I still love you”.

Maya’s face turned into a big smile, in disbelief to what she was hearing. “I love you too y/n”.

She wiped her eyes before stepping in the house. “I don’t know what to say”.

“Maya”.

“Yeah?”.

“Come here”.

You pulled her into a kiss. It was soft at first but when you broke away, you noticed a feeling in her eyes.

warning: 18+ minors dnr ( I actually wrote this in part 15 so now it’s up to date )

She leant in again bringing her lips onto yours full of passion, her tongue filling your throat. her suitcase was long forgotten on the floor.

“I missed you so much”. She said breathlessly, her mouth moving all over your neck as her hands moved around your body firmly whilst pressing you against the wall.

“S-same”. you managed to mutter out as the rest of the time you voice was filmed with moans. However you were cut off by Mocha walking into the the corridor and parading around Maya’s feet full of joy to see her back.

Her lips departed from you but quickly formed a smile as she laughed at Mocha “I missed you so much too”. and stroked him instead.

You were left in a flustered mess still trying to catch your breath, wiping your forehead.

“Why don’t we get you a treat”. Maya said quickly walking into the kitchen and took out a chew to keep mocha occupied.

“I’ll be back soon i promise”. She said rubbing his head and watched him trot to his bed munching away.

However as soon as she turned back towards you her face was now filled with desire.

“Bedroom, Now”.

Before you could even reach the bed her arms got you and pulled you back towards her.

Your back was pushed towards her front and she lay over you on the bed. Her hands traveled under your shirt and she placed kissed to the back of your neck, your face still facing down on the pillow as you melted into her.

She took off your shirt and arched you more into her, you were now a mess. Suddenly she turned you around, her hand moved to your mouth.

“You’re not allowed to make noise”. She teased. Then carried on down unclipping your bra with one hand whilst placing kisses on your ribs.

Your moans became heavy breaths and they got heavier as she moved further and further down along your stomach but stopped at the rim of your shorts.

She looked back up to you. “You really have missed me ”. This made your heartbeat even quicker and your hips gravitate towards her.

She moved both her hands down to your hips and pulled your shorts swiftly down. Her hand then moved along the only fabric that was covering you but you accidentally let out a moan at the touch.

Her fingers pulled away and now both her hands were completely off you.Your head turned up to towards her she shot a smirk back.

“Maya please”.

“Please what?”.

“I want you to-“. Your sentence was cut off by her lips meeting yours again.

She pulled away whispering “you want me to fuck you?”. into your ear, her body now fully pressing onto you.

“Y-yes”.

“Well i’m going to need quiet, can you do that for me?”. she said holding your thigh.

You nodded your head.

“Good”. She replied then moved her fingers slowly down your body finally removing the fabric that was left and went inside you.

You groaned in pleasure thrusting you hips upwards, biting your lip to reduce the noise.However as she added the third finger you unexpectedly came, you’ve never finished so quickly in your life.

“Did i say you could do that?”.

“N-no”. you chocked.

“Well we’ll try this again”.Her mouth went straight into you, replacing your fingers, and you tried your hardest not to release straight after.

You were holding on for dear life and she could tell.

“Not yet”. She murmured her mouth still half covered. However moans filled your mouth as it was impossible to keep quiet and maya knew she would be soon taking it too far.

“Cum for me”. She whispered and you obliged.With a smile she lay back next to you watching you catch your breath. Both getting under the covers.

“You’re wearing too many clothes for my liking”. You said, as maya was still wearing a t shirt and shorts.

“I’m okay”. she replied looking over to you with a small smile. You moved closer to her and brought her into a kiss, moving your hand to her shirt. But she was hesitant.

“What’s wrong?”. You asked pulling away and stroking her arm.

“Nothing”.

“Why don’t want me to return the favour, am i bad?”.

“No!, no it’s not that, you’re great”. She said rubbing her thumb on your cheek.

“What is it then?”.

In truth Maya felt guilty, not feeling like she deserved it based on what she did.

“I-i just prefer looking at your body”.

“Oh maya, your body is perfect”.

She didn’t reply.

“May I really mean it, you’re beautiful”.

Maya slightly shook her head.

“I’ll prove it”. Her eyes then met yours.

“Do you want me to?”. She didn’t reply again.You reached for the hem of her shirt and pulled it over her head. You placed kissed along her neck and she hummed in pleasure, but as a hand travelled to the waist of her shorts she flinched away.

“Ok i won’t then, if you really don’t want me to”. You said getting off her and falling to the side feeling like it was your fault.

“I’m sorry”. She said covering her eyes.

“Don’t be sorry”. She shook her head.“How about I do it, but you can keep your clothes on just look at me. I really want to”.

“Okay…You’re certain?”.

“Yes”. You straddled her hips and your fingers traced down her body until you soon went inside her. Her face was full of pleasure and relief like a weight had been lifted. Her mouth was open as she succumbed to you.

“You’re so beautiful”. You whispered in her ear then placed kisses down her neck but her arms started to wrap around you feeling your body.

“No touching”. You teased, moving her arms around her own back with one hand, the other still keeping a steady rhythm. It didn’t take her long to release also, now filled with ecstasy.

She really needed that and she knew it too.“Fuck”. She giggled, now glowing.

“You’re welcome”. You said, then placed a kiss on her lips

-

Cuddled up to each other you both lay on the bed, Maya turned to you with the biggest smile. Her arm reached out to you until, you noticed something on her wrist.

“What’s that?”. You asked as you caught her hand.

“O-oh nothing”. She replied, trying to move her hand away, but you had a strong grip.

“Let me see”.

Maya’s expression quickly saddened.

You noticed the bandage on Maya’s wrist, confused. You started to unwrap it as looked very untidy, wanting to see what was underneath.

Oh Maya”. You said, seeing the cuts on her wrists, they had now nearly healed.

She didn’t say anything.

“Did you do this to yourself?”.

“No, not on purpose”. She replied, avoiding eye contact.

“How did you did it?”.

“Well, um…”. She paused. “It was when Ella confronted me about what i did, I caught my wrist on the door when i get annoyed… i shouldn’t have lied to you”. She sighed.

“Maya, it’s okay”.

“No”. She shook her head, moving her wrist away, feeling the lines of her scars.

“I don’t blame you, I wasn’t much better”.

“No, i should’ve trusted you”. Maya replied.

“I won’t be seeing her again anyway, i didn’t want her to kiss me”.

“Oh, did she…”.

“No, it wasn’t anything serious we were both drunk and I didn’t know what to do”.

“I don’t blame you either”.

“Thanks, oh I got you something”. You said.

“Really?”. She asked.

You got up and picked up a gift bag that was in your wardrobe.

“You didn’t have to get me anything?”.

“Yes, I did”. You replied, handing her the bag.

She looked at it for a few seconds, until slowly opening it. It was a new Iphone.

“No, I can’t accept this”. Maya said in disbelief, holding it carefully in her hands. “Take it back”.

“Maya don’t be silly, you need a new phone”.

She was speechless.

“Well are you gonna open it or look at me gormlessly”. You chuckled.

“Thank you”. She quickly said, putting the phone next to her and wrapping her body around you, laying on top.

“You’re welcome”. You chuckled, kissing her cheek.

Maya didn’t want to let go, ever again.

——————

Maya closed them together and hid them inside her mouth, taking a glance over at them to see if they noticed. They did.

“How was Teri?, a shame we didn’t see her before we left”. Millie asked on cue.

May nodded her head “She’s good”. Whilst looking at the floor.

Millie and Niamh gave each other a look.

“Are you two a thing now or…?”.

“U-ugh what, I guess so?”. She gulped.

“What about y/n?”.

“It’s complicated”.

“Okay…Maya don’t tell me y-“.

“N-no no, i wouldn’t”. She denied, shaking her head.

“Okay…good”. Millie replied not sounding convinced, fortunately they arrived at the ground floor.

Maya walked a head of them now, trying to leave as soon as possible.

The uber took twenty minutes back to the hotel, Maya looked outside the window the whole time conflicted with herself if she’s done the right thing.

Maybe you weren’t trying to break up her she thought, but it was too late, she couldn’t even contact you because of her broken phone.

Maya quickly entered her hotel room and jumped straight on the bed, tears started to sting her eyes.

- The next day -

Maya awoke to knocking on the door, she struggled to get any sleep last night.

Ella was on the other side, with a worried expression.

“What’s wrong?”. Maya asked.

“Y/n’s been calling all morning, she’s worried about you”. She replied.

“I don’t have time for her”. Maya shook her head.

“It’s important, she wants to explain”.

Maya sighed leaning against the door.

“I think you have some explaining to do also”. Ella said sternly.

“She’s with someone else, isn’t she”. Maya stated.

“Maya…she’s not”.

“No”. Maya exclaimed, almost shouted.

“She’s-“. Ella started, but then she got another call from you.

“She wants to speak to you”. Ella held up the phone.

“Right”.

She took a deep breath.

“Maya?”. You said full of relief.

“Yeah?”.

“Oh thank God, i’ve been so worried, you haven’t been answering your phone”.

“It broke”.

“How?”.

“I dropped it”.

“Oh no, you gonna buy another one?”.

“I will when i’m back in England”.

“That’s not for another four days”.

“I know, why does it matter to you anyway?”.

“What do you mean?”. You asked, concerned.

“You know what i mean, with your ‘friend’ ”.

“Yes, my friend who’s been helping me these past few days”.

“Right”.

“Maya,what are you suggesting?”.

“Well, you were the one who broke up with me”.

“What?”.

“You said yourself, on the phone”.

“Maya…my phone was breaking up with your signal”.

Maya’s heart sank.

“No, that’s not true”.

“It is”.

“Stop lying, i saw that girl kiss you”.

“She’s my best friend, we’ve been friends for years”.

“How come i’ve never met her then?”.

“You’ve never taken interest”.

“I have”.

“Maya, you’ve not”.

She sighed, her eyes stinging.

“I know what you’ve done”. You said, trying to hold back tears.

“Done what?”.

“Don’t fuck around, Ella told me everything”.

Maya shot up staring at Ella, putting herself on mute.

“What have you told her?”.

“I heard you broke up, so was checking if she was okay…but then she told me you hadn’t”.

“Maya i want to hear it from you”. You said down the phone. “Is what she said true?”.

Maya ignored you.

“Millie told me about you and Teri…she heard you”. Ella admitted, she never shy’s away from the truth.

“Fuck”.

“Maya tell me right now, or i’m breaking up with you, for good”.

She unmuted you “…Nothing happened”. Looking straight into Ella’s eyes at same time.

“They wouldn’t make up something like this”.

“Don’t believe everything you hear”. Maya replied, hanging up.

There was an awkward silence, it was deafening. Maya was staring at Ella’s phone still in her hand, until she took it off her.

“Maya that is fucked up, I wouldn’t expect for you do something like this, you can sit on your own for breakfast. ”. Ella said, then walked off.

Maya slammed the door behind her, full of anger, all at herself. but as she did, her wrist sliced against the door handle and blood started to pour. Very quickly.

She walked leisurely towards the bathroom, almost enjoying the sight.

Specks of blood started to cover the marble floor, but soon she hit reality, realising she couldn’t show up like this, throwing away her England dream as if it was nothing.

She started cleaning the wound, before wrapping a bandage around it, as well as football tape to hide it.

She didn’t eat any breakfast before training, she couldn’t show her face.

-

During training Maya thought she played very well, despite the recent events.

The hunger and motivation to do even better was higher than ever before, due to the fact that there was something to lose.

The day dragged on for longer than Maya wanted but she was happy with her efforts, she wanted to proof her worth to the manager if the players didn’t approve.

“You coming out for lunch?”. Mary asked, but Maya declined.

“I didn’t see you at breakfast”.

“I know, i didn’t go”.

“If there’s something on your mind?, you can come and speak to me”.

Maya picked at the tape on her wrist. “I know”. Before walking away, back to her room.

She got in the shower, but the tape started to slip, spraying water in her cuts.

It hurt, but she wasn’t fazed by the pain, the possibility of hurting you was greater.

-

It was the day before the Norway game and Sarina was going through the game plan.

“Maya you’ve impressed me, so I want you to play at right back”. Maya had to do a double take and struggled to hide the smile on her face.

Everyone clapped for her, knowing it would be her debut, despite some of the opinions her teammates had against her.

After the meeting Ella pulled Maya to the side. “I’m sorry what I said before, it’s not my place to be telling what you should do with your personal life, I hope you understand”.

“It’s okay…”. Maya sighed “I don’t blame you, it’s my fault”.

“I was just trying to help, y/n’s my best friend and I know how much she cares about you, and i’ve seen how much you care about her, I just didn’t want you to make the wrong choice”. Ella explained.

“I know, i’ve fucked up, she’s been kind enough to take care of our home and look after Mocha whilst i was gone, and I fuck someone else the same night because i thought she was breaking up with me”. Maya said with her head in hands.

“It’s okay, I know it’s your first camp playing for England and your emotions are all over the place, but you need to make a choice is it Teri or y/n…”.

Right on cue Ella gets a call from you.

“Hello”.

“Ella somethings happened”. You replied.

“What’s wrong?”.

“My…umm, my friend kissed me”.

“What?”.

“We got drunk and as I was about to get in my Uber home…we kissed”.

That’s all Maya had to hear.

Ella watched as her head hung low and walked out the room devastated, Maya was going to explain everything to you and to try and get you back.

But now it felt you slipped further away.

-

It was game day, Maya was trying to build the courage to be happy, it’s what’s she’s ever dreamed of, playing for England.

She walked onto the pitch to get a feel for the game with her teammates before the warms ups.

Nerves coursed through her, but she enjoyed it. However, when she looked to the side of her she noticed Elisabeth Terland across the pitch, now that made her nervous.

-

She started getting changed into her kit trying to ignore the conflicted feelings in her head and wrapping more tape around her wrist to hide the cuts.

Whilst Line-ing up in the tunnel both teams subs walked through to sit down, until Maya felt someone next to her.

“Good luck Maya”. Teri whispered, with a smile as if she looked happier to see Maya’s debut more than her.

“Thank you”. Maya smiled in response, appreciative of the gesture.

Millie Bright who was stood in front of her noticed the interaction. She gave Maya a look until saying “C’mon Maya you’ve got this”. Holding her hands up for a high five.

“I know”. Maya shrugged meeting Millie’s hands, as if this was an everyday occurrence for her.

At the beginning of the game it was going well, England shared a good majority of the possession and created a few chances.

In the 33rd minute Rachel Daly bagged a goal and everyone ran up to congratulate her finishing the first half well.

The morale was good, Maya was playing well and before she knew it the second half commenced.

Around the 60th minute Norway were putting more and more pressure on England but nothing came of value.

Maya tried to kick the ball up field but it got deflected off a Norwegian player so there was a throw in.

She jogged to fetch the ball until a pair of hands handed it to her, it was Terland who was warming up on the touch line.

This for a moment lapsed Maya’s concentration, a small smile displayed on her mouth as she locked eyes with Teri. She was trying to not think about her all game.

However as play carried on Maya had the ball but she wavered a second meaning her reaction time was slightly later.

Anja Sønstevold was late on getting to the ball but Maya still managed to get passed her, resulting in Anja’s studs going straight into her ankle.

Maya winced as she fell to the ground, pain shooting through her which led to Anja’s second yellow card sending her off the pitch.

The medics came on but Maya was still happy to continue, not wanting to be subbed off early on her debut.

She got up slightly limping but the pain was nothing to her, she wanted to savour this match as much as she could.

Eight minutes went by and Norway crossed a ball towards the box, Ellie Roebuck went to clear it but missed resulting in a Norway goal.

A disappointing goal to concede towards the end of the game resulting in a 1-1 draw.

Not the perfect debut for Maya but she did the best she could. She started to shake hands with the players until she felt a hug from behind.

“Hey”. Maya chuckled turning to Teri.

“You played really well”. She replied with a big smile.

“Thank you”. Maya blushed.

“I’ll see you later, yeah?”. Teri asked.

Maya took a second to reply “Yeah…yeah see you in a bit”.

“I’ll try get to yours for 10”.

“Sounds good”. She replied, until she was cut off by Guro Reiten reaching out her hand.

Maya awkwardly shook it, knowing she probably heard what happened the other night. She smiled at Teri before turning back towards the dressing room.

The team congratulated Maya on a brilliant debut despite the result, and not soon after were on the bus back to the hotel.

Maya got showered and changed and before she knew it it was 10:05.

She heard the hotel phone ring and reception told Maya that someone was there to see her.

Picking up the key card she looked in the mirror making sure she looked presentable and headed downstairs.

As Maya got to the Lobby she noticed Teri straight away sitting on one of the chairs.

“I hope i didn’t keep you waiting for too long”. Maya said.

“No, you didn’t”. Teri replied with a smile.

They made their way up the lift to her floor, Maya ushering her to walk in front. However, as they walked out they saw Lucy and Keira walking towards them.

Maya said a small “Hi” trying to avoid interaction as much as possible, but it didn’t work.

“Your Elisabeth aren’t you?”. Lucy asked Teri.

“Y-yeah, yes”. She replied, trying to hide her excitement of meeting the Lucy Bronze, and for her to know her name.

“I’ve heard good things about you”. Lucy said, as she saw she recently signed for Brighton.

“T-thank you”. Teri replied shyly, not sure what to say.

Lucy gave Maya an amused smile before waking past, thrilled for her that she was with Teri.

“Oh my god”. Teri exclaimed, attempting to hide her excitement.

“Yeah i’m star struck sometimes too, it’s surreal being around these world class players i’ve been watching all my life”. Maya replied.

“Wow”. She chuckled before entering Maya’s room.

“Has that made your night?”. Maya asked, climbing into bed.

“Almost as much as your debut”. Teri replied, laying next to her.

“You don’t have to say that”. Maya said, as she played with Teri’s hair.

“No i mean it”. She grinned.

Maya found it so hard to resist that smile. She tried to push her emotions back, overwhelmed by how she felt today, but in that peaceful moment, she didn’t want to regret anything anymore.

———————

“Good…” She chuckled at the nickname

“I’ve got an idea of what we could do”.

“What is it, darling?”. She replied, creating butterflies in your stomach.

“You know what”. You smirked.

- The next day -

It was game day against Japan, Maya was on the bench.

She was talking to Katie Robinson and Ellie Roebuck who were either side of her. Maya didn’t sleep much last night as she was nervous for the game but also what she did with you, which led to Maya yawning.

“Someone’s tired”. Katie joked.

“Yeah I couldn’t sleep, think i was nervous for the game”.

“Sure you were”. Ellie added.

“What do you mean?”. Maya questioned.

“Nothing”. Ellie chuckled.

“Oh, okay”.

They then heard the whilst blow for half time, so Maya quickly got up and left for the tunnel.

Whilst Sarina gave the half time team talk all Maya could think about was what Ellie said.

Just before they got up for the second half Maya got up to confront her.

“What did you mean before?”. Maya whispered.

“What about?”.

“You know what”. Maya narrowed her eyes.

“Well…we heard you”.

“Heard me what?”. Maya gulped.

“Crying”.

Maya froze, that’s not what she was expecting.

“If you need anyone to talk you, i’m sure any of us are here for you”.

Ellie was right Maya was crying. She cried because of the loneliness she felt, second guessing if she deserved to be in this camp with all these elite players, the pressure she felt was so raw and uncomfortable.

Maya pushed out the truth, shook her head and followed the other players out of the tunnel.

The game ended 4-0 to England, but unfortunately Maya got no playing time.

- The next day -

The players got the day off so a few of them planned to get some lunch in the small Spanish town of Murcia.

Whilst walking around and exploring the city Millie Bright noticed Guro Reiten her Chelsea teammate straight away alongside a few other Norwegian team players who they were playing against in the following few days, must have had the same idea.

Maya was just to the side of them listening into conversations not really knowing who to talk to as she didn’t know anyone personally, until she noticed Elisabeth Terland, who had just joined Brighton.

“Hey, how are you finding brighton?”. Maya asked. She’s played against Terland a few times but never on the same team as she joined Brighton as Maya left for united.

“I-it’s going good”. Terland replied in her broken english, Maya chuckled at the sound.

“I just left to join united, so i know Brighton very well”. Maya replied.

“I know”. Teri smiled.

“hmm you already know do you?”, Maya joked, causing Teri to chuckle.

“Of course, I can never score past you, you’re too strong”. Teri said, brushing her hand along Maya’s bicep.

“well, thank you”. Maya smiled, slightly taken aback from her compliment.

She then looked up and realised the rest of the group were already a few feet away, they didn’t notice both being too deep into conversation.

For lunch they found a small cafe, a hidden gem within the city, the coffee was the best they’ve ever tasted.

“This is unreal”. Maya stated, savouring her drink as much as she could.

“Could I try some?”. Teri asked, regretting her choice of water.

“Of course”. Maya smiled, handing her the cup. She chuckled at the reaction of Teri’s face as she drank the coffee.

“This is so good”. She remarked.

“I’ll buy you one”. Maya smiled, getting up.

“N-no it’s ok, you don’t have to”.

But Maya had already made her mind up.

“Here you go”. Maya said, placing the fresh cup of coffee next to her.

“You really didn’t have to, how much was it?”.

“No i wanted to, plus you wouldn’t know the order”. She smiled.

Nearly an hour later they decided they had all stayed more than intended, getting carried away with endless conversations.

“Well, i guess i’ll see you in a few days”. Teri said, sounding slightly disappointed.

“Yeh, see you then”. Maya replied, bringing her into a hug.

Teri smiled before slowly turning away and following after her teammates.

- A few hours later -

Maya was getting ready before going out for the team meal and thought to call you to see how you were doing.

After a few times trying the phone went straight to voicemail, Maya was slightly worried but didn’t think much of it as she assumed you would be out with Mocha.

Not long after Maya met the rest of the team at the restaurant, but as she sat down she noticed four missed calls from you, until suddenly she received a FaceTime call.

“One minute I need to take this”. She said to her teammates.

“I bet it’s y/n”. Ella joked to the others.

“Hey, how are you doing?”. She asked, but because of the weak signal it didn’t register through.

All she could see was another girl sat next to you, and watched as she kissed your cheek and got up saying “thanks babe”.

Maya then watched your worried expression as you realised she had finally answered.

“Who is that?”. Maya asked sternly.

“Oh, just a friend”.

“Just a friend hmm?”. Maya replied.

“She’s been helping me look after Mocha”.

“Why is she calling you babe?”.

You started speaking but for Maya it only came out as static, the signal started to break.

“I can’t hear you”. Maya stated.

“Sorry i’m b-breaking u-up wi-“. But then the call suddenly ended the signal completely gone.

“Fuck”. Maya exclaimed, shaking her phone trying to get signal until it slipped out of her hand and smashed into pieces on the hard pavement.

Maya was now extremely agitated, not knowing whether her phone dying or the possibility you were breaking up with her hurt the most.

She sighed putting her broken phone into her handbag and making her way inside the restaurant.

“What’s wrong?”. Alessia asked instantly.

“My phones fucked”. Maya exclaimed shaking her head.

“How come?”.

“I dropped it now it’s completely smashed”. maya replied, putting her head in hands.

“Well we won’t be on camp too long now, we’ll try and keep you entertained”. Ella said.

“Thank you”. Maya replied with a small smile.

After the meal it was around 8pm and everyone started ordering ubers back to the hotel as some wanted to stay later than others.

Maya was about to order her’s until she heard Millie explain she was going with Niamh Charles to pick up some sunglasses that Niamh left at the cafe and Guro managed to pick up.

“Are you heading to their hotel?”. Maya asked.

“Yes why, did you want to come with?”.

“Yeah, my phones broken and i could use some different company”. Maya explained.

“Okay then, let’s go”. Millie replied, not thinking much of it.

The taxi pulled up at the Norwegians hotel and they instantly noticed it wasn’t as nice as theirs, a shame other counties don’t get the same luxury as the England team.

Maya trailed behind Millie and Niamh as they looked for Guro’s hotel room.

They knocked on the door but as it opened Elisabeth Terland appeared on the other side.

“Oh sorry we must have got the wrong room”.

“It’s okay, Guro’s is next door”. She said pointing across.

“Thank you”. Niamh replied.

Terland’s attention then changed to Maya who was initially hidden by Millie and Niamh.

“Oh h-hi, what are you doing here?”. Teri asked surprised.

“I came to see you”. Maya smiled.

“Well come in then”. Terland grinned, moving away from the door so Maya could enter.

“I guess we’ll catch you in a bit then”. Millie said, before going in Guro’s room.

“Y-yeh i’ll see you later”. Maya replied, then turned back to Teri.

She closed the door behind them as Maya went to sit on her bed.

“So what did you want to talk to me about?”. Teri asked, sitting beside her

“Nothing much just…”.

“just what?”.

“never mind”. Maya said looking away.

Teri placed a hand on Maya’s thigh, “What’s wrong?”. She could read Maya’s sad expression.

She slowly looked back up to Teri’s face then her lips, but shook her head.

Teri edged herself closer to Maya noticing her gaze, still her hand on her thigh.

“You can tell me anything y’know”. Teri said.

“Yeah”. Maya nodded.

A few seconds went by and all they did was stare at each other.

Teri leaned in but Maya resisted moving back.

“O-oh i’m so sorry”. Teri said avoiding eye contact.

“No it’s okay”. Maya chuckled, not knowing how to feel. For all maya knew you were with someone else now, she felt worthless.

“I’m so stupid”. Teri muttered.

“No you’re not”. Maya replied, feeling guilty.

“I shouldn’t have done that”. Teri said, shaking her head.

“You should’ve”.

“…What?”. She replied, trying to gather the courage to look back over.

Maya moved up to her and placed a hand on her cheek before leaning in and kissing her.

It felt wrong but right at the same time, it’s what Maya felt like she needed after these stressful past few days, someone to comfort her.

When they pulled apart there was a big smile on both of their faces, feeling like they wanted more.

Maya moved over and picked Terland up bringing her further up the bed and straddled her hips.

“Is this okay?”. She asked.

“Yes”. Teri grinned before bringing Maya back towards her, kissing her once more.

The kisses turned into making out and Maya’s hands naturally went to the hem of her shorts.

“Fuck”. Teri murmured between kisses.

“Can I?”. Maya asked whilst placing kisses along her neck.

“Yes”. She replied, soft moans coming from out her mouth.

Maya lifted her shirt up and started placing kisses, slowly going further down along her body, soon going where Terland wanted her the most.

However not long after they heard a knock on the door.

“Fuck”. Maya exclaimed getting up, Teri wasn’t in the right state to answer the door.

After a second knock she quickly put her shirt back on and tried to fix her hair until opening it to Millie.

“We’re thinking of going back soon, are you coming with?”.

“Ugh y-yeah yeah give me five minutes”. Maya replied, trying to not be suspicious.

“Is Teri in there, we want to say goodbye before we go?”.

“Yeah, she’s just doing something, we’ll come back out in a minute”.

“Okay then”. Millie replied and Maya quickly shut the door.

“Shit that was close”. Teri exclaimed.

“Do you think they heard?”. Maya replied worriedly.

“I ugh, i don’t think so”. She gulped.

Maya sat back down next to her on the bed as Teri got changed.

“Well, i guess i’ll see you next in a few days”. Teri smiled.

“Yeah, but i doubt i’ll play”. Maya replied.

“Same here”.

“We have a lot in common don’t we”.

“Yes, Yes we do”. Teri replied, kissing her one last time before she had to leave.

——————

Ella greeted Maya first, bringing her into a hug. "So happy to see you here Maya, finally without your girlfriend for once". she laughed.

"I'm not always with her". Maya replied, shaking her head.

"Yes you are". Mary and Less said at the same time.

All Maya could do was laugh and accept defeat, already embarrassed in front of her new teammates that she still had to greet.

-A few hours later-

"We're about to board the plane soon". Maya said to you, through her phone.

"That's good, I hope you have a safe flight, Mocha says he misses you". You replied.

"Aww, I miss him and I guess you too".

"Haha, It's gonna be the longest we've spent without each other".

"How are we going to cope". She joked.

"Maya c'mon stop confessing your love to y/n, we need to board the plane". Ella said loudly from across the room.

"Okay, okay coming now, I need to go".

"That's fine, see you later, love you". You said, but she hung up, maybe she didn't hear.

Maya sighed, just realising what you said, but she didn't have time to call you back.

The whole way through the flight Maya was anxious, but excited. She's been through all of England's age groups, but now she was here. In the first team.

-A few hours later-

Touchdown. The plane landed in Spain and after waiting for baggage to be collected, the team headed to the hotel.

Maya got given the key for her room, she's always shared a room with her teammates in the past, so she didn't know what to expect.

After unpacking she jumped onto the bed and decided to call you, she's been wanting to do it ever since your last call ended. In truth she felt quite alone, of course she was friends with all of the girls including Ella, Mary, Less being at united, but she didn't have her best friend. You.

"Mayaaa". You said through the phone, with a smile on your face. She hadn't even opened her mouth yet before you got your words in.

"Hey y/n, how are you?". She replied.

"I should be asking you that Le tiss, how was your journey?".

In the next hour Maya explained how the whole journey was in full detail, more than probably what was necessary, but she wanted to make the phone call as long as possible. Until she heard a knock on the door.

"Maya you wanna come check out the pool with us?". Mary said through the door.

Maya, still with phone in hand, opened the door replying. "Yes I'll be ready in five minutes".

"Y/n she's never shut up about you". Ella exclaimed.

"Awww". You replied, through the phone.

"Not all the time". Maya shook her head, blushing.

"Hmm, okay Mayo". Less added.

"She was acting like she's not seen you in-". Ella was cut off with the door shutting.

"I'll speak to you in a bit y/n, love you".

"Love you too Mayo".

She chuckled and put the phone down, making her way back to the door and to her teammates.

Maya along with Toone, Less and Roebuck all went to try out the hotel pool. After a brief swim they decided to do a race to see who could do 50 lengths the quickest, it was only an average sized pool.

Ellie started the best, using her strong arms to an advantage but at the 30th length she started to tire. At the 40th length Maya took over as she had better endurance and Less and Ella were starting to struggle.

Maya won with ease as the others watched in awe, Ella was recording her final laps as she stopped at length 42.

As soon as Maya won, she took a long breath, a smile lightly formed on her face, Her tired arms lifted herself out the pool and she lay down on her back, water slowly dripping down her body, her chest rose and fell, her eyes closed, mouth slightly open as oxygen was filling her lungs.

"Our winner, Maya Le Tissier". Ella said, as the others clapped and cheered. She chuckled and sat back up, wiping her forehead.

"Tell the people, how did you do so well?".

"Practice, a lot of practice". Maya winked, staring straight at the camera.

"Where do you practice the most, the pool or gym?". Less asked.

"Neither, it's actually in the bed-".

"Okay, I think we'll end it there guys". Ella laughed, stopping the video.

"Hey, it was getting interesting". Ellie joked.

Everyone laughed.

-

After just coming back from a walk with Mocha, you heard a notification on your phone from Maya, it was a video.

You watched with pleasure as she won the race, the smirk she had on her face when she won was everything, and the comments made after. You couldn't help but feel turned on by it.

'Your so hot' You text, with a smile on your face.

'Am I?'

(Help why is the image so big idk how to change it 😭)

(I love Lucia so much, but let's pretend she's not in the photo)

'This is not okay'

'What's wrong?'

'You, I need you'.

'You can, in nine days'.

'Fuck, I can't wait that long'.

'Well then don't'.

'Right now?'

'No soon, I wanna hear it'.

"What are you smirking at Maya?". Mary joked, from across the room.

"Just tiktok". She lied.

"We all know who your texting". This made Maya's face start to blush.

"I knew it". She chuckled.

"You lot are never going to drop it are you". Maya replied, shaking her head.

"Never". They laughed.

-

“Maya”. You called out worriedly. You found her sat on a bed with a clean bandage wrapped around her.

Sitting down next to her, you kissed her head and put an arm around her.

“I’m okay”. She replied, trying to reassure you.

“I was so worried when i saw you go down”.

“Why?”. She asked.

“Why?, because I thought you passed out”.

“Aww, who’s the softie now”. She chuckled, nudging you.

“Shut up”. You laughed. “I’m serious you could have really hurt yourself when you carried on”.

“I didn’t want to let the team down, but I still did”. She said looking at the floor, her smile starting to fade.

“It’s not your fault we lost”.

“It is”.

“Maya there was eleven other players on that field that are also accountable for the loss”.

She shook her head.

“Let’s just get home now”.

“Okay”. She replied.

- A few hours later -

It was now time to change Maya’s bandage again.

She was sat on the kitchen counter however you couldn’t reach her that well as you stood below her.

“You need to come down”.

“Do I?”. She joked, getting off now stood in front of you.

You started unwrapping the bandage, which caused her to wince as she held onto the counter.

“Fuck, that looks like it hurts”. You said.

“Mhm”.

There was a sharp cut next to her eye and a big bruise to go with it. Her eyes were shut as you put on the new bandage, she looked so tired but that wasn’t surprising considering she played for a good 80 minutes.

“All better”. You said, placing your hands on her shoulders.

She wrapped her arms around your lower back and brought you into a hug, pressing your bodies together. “Thanks love”. She said into your neck.

- A few days later -

“I got picked”. Maya shouted from her bedroom.

“what?”. You replied, facing up stairs.

She shot out her room and quickly made her way downstairs.

“Sarina just called me, I got picked for England”. She said, full of excitement, it was her first senior call up.

“May congratulations, i’m so proud of you”. You replied, wrapping your arms around her.

“Thank you, i need to tell my parents”.

“I didn’t know you were getting this call”.

“I didn’t want to say in case i didn’t get picked”.

“Even if you didn’t i’d be still proud of you”.

“yeah, sorry”.

“Don’t need to apologise, how long will you be gone for?”.

“ughhh, i think ten days”.

“Ten?”. You said disheartened.

“It’s in spain”.

“how am i going to manage ten days without you?”. You exclaimed as your hands rested on her shoulders.

“I’m not sure”, she chuckled.

“well i hope you have a good time”.

“I need to have a word with Sarina that you deserve to be called up as well”. She joked.

“It’s okay, i’d rather it be you than me”. You replied.

She shook her head, “ You deserve it just as much as me”.

- Two days later -

Are you sure everything’s packed?”.

“Yes”. Maya anxiously replied.

“Passport?”.

You watched in amusement as Maya frantically searched all her pockets while murmuring under her breath.

“It’s here”. You said with a smirk on you face, knowing she’d forget that she gave it you just ten minutes ago.

“You’re such an idiot”. She exclaimed, taking a big sigh of relief.

“What would you do without me?”. You smirked handing the passport over which she quickly placed in her backpack.

“I guess we’ll find out”. She chuckled.

You moved your hands to her shoulders slightly looking up, even though she was only one and a half inches taller than you, but she always laughed when you mentioned the half.

“I’m going to miss you too much”. You frowned.

“I’ll call you every day”. She replied, wrapping her arms around your waist.

“Promise”.

“I pinky promise”. She replied, moving her hand and sticking out her pinky finger.

Whilst laughing you interlocked it with yours.

She then pulled you into a kiss, which you both tried to savour as much as possible.

“I’m going to be late”. She said, then rubbed your back.

“Okay”. You replied disheartened but also so excited for her.

She turned and then bent down to Mocha saying goodbye and kissing his head. “Look after y/n whilst i’m gone”. She said with a big grin.

You laughed and followed her to the front door. “Good luck i’m sure you’ll do incredible”.

“I reckon i won’t play much”.

“Even if you don’t i’ll be proud of you regardless”.

You shortly noticed the taxi pulling up outside.

“I love you”. Maya said, bringing you into a hug.

“I love you too May”. Quickly placing a soft kiss on her cheek.

Her face lit up and placed her lips on yours instead.

She slowly turned and made her way towards the taxi, waving you one last goodbye as the vehicle set off for the airport.

- 10 days later -

warning: 18+ minors dnr ( I actually wrote this so long ago, I just forgot to post it. First time writing something so intense so if you don’t want to read just skip the rest of this chapter. )

You opened the door and there she was. Maya. she was gone for only 10 days but it felt like eternity

“May-“. She cut you off bringing her lips onto yours full of passion, her tongue filling your throat. her suitcase was long forgotten on the floor.

“I missed you so much”. She said breathlessly, her mouth moving all over your neck as her hands moved around your body firmly whilst pressing you against the wall.

“S-same”. you managed to mutter out as the rest of the time you voice was filmed with moans.

However you were cut off by Mocha walking into the the corridor and parading around Maya’s feet full of joy to see her back.

Her lips departed from you but then they quickly formed a smile and she laughed at Mocha and stroked him instead.

You were left in a flustered mess still trying to catch your breath, wiping your forehead.

“Why don’t we get you a treat”. Maya said quickly walking into the kitchen and took out a chew to keep mocha occupied. “I’ll be back soon i promise”. She said rubbing his head and watched him trot to his bed munching away.

However as soon as she turned back towards you her face was now filled with desire. “Bedroom. Now”.

Before you could even reach the bed her arms got you and pulled you back towards her. Your back was pushed towards her front and she lay over you on the bed.

Her hands traveled under your shirt and she placed kissed to the back of your neck, your face still facing down on the pillow as you melted into her.

She took off your shirt and arched you more into her, you were now a mess. Suddenly she turned you around her hand moved to your mouth. “You’re not allowed to make noise”. She teased. Then carried on down unclipping your bra with one hand whilst placing kisses on your ribs.

Your moans had to become heavy breaths and they got heavier as she moved further and further down along your stomach but stopped at the rim of your shorts. She looked back up to you. “You really have missed me ”. This made your heartbeat even quicker and your hips gravitate towards her.

She moved both her hands down to your hips and pulled your shorts swiftly down. Her hand then moved along the only fabric that was covering you but you accidentally let out a moan at the touch.

Her fingers pulled away and now both her hands were completely off you.

Your head turned up to towards her she shot a smirk back.

“Maya please”.

“Please what?”.

“I want you to-“. Your sentence was cut off by her lips meeting yours again.

She pulled away then whispering “you want me to fuck you?”. into your ear, her body now fully pressing onto you.

“Y-yes”.

“Well i’m going to need quiet, can you do that for me,?”. she said holding your thigh.

You nodded your head.

“Good”. She replied then moved her fingers slowly down your body finally removing the fabric that was left and went inside you.

You groaned in pleasure thrusting you hips upwards, biting your lip to reduce the noise.

However as she added the third finger you unexpectedly came, you’ve never finished so quickly in your life.

“Did i say you could do that?”.

“N-no”. you chocked.

“Well we’ll try this again”.

Her mouth went straight into you, replacing your fingers, and you tried your hardest not to release straight after. You were holding on for dear life and she could tell.

“Not yet”. She murmured her mouth still half covered. However moans filled your mouth as it was impossible to keep quiet and maya knew she would be soon taking it too far. “Cum for me”. She whispered and you obliged.

With a smile she lay back next to you watching you catch your breath. Both getting under the covers.

“You’re wearing too many clothes for my liking”. You said, as maya was still wearing a t shirt and shorts.

“I’m okay”. she replied looking over to you with a small smile. You moved closer to her and brought her into a kiss, moving your hand to her shirt. But she was hesitant.

“What’s wrong?”. She asked pulling away and stroking your arm.

“Nothing”.

“Why do you never want me to return the favour, am i bad?”,

“No!, no it’s not that, you’re great”. She said rubbing her thumb on your cheek.

“What is it then?”.

“I-i just prefer looking at your body”.

“Oh maya, your body is perfect”. She didn’t reply. “May I really mean it, you’re beautiful”. She slightly shook her head. “I’ll prove it”. Her eyes then met yours. “Do you want me to?”. She didn’t reply again.

You reached for the hem of her shirt and pulled it over her head. You placed kissed along her neck and she hummed in pleasure, but as a hand travelled to the waist of her shorts she flinched away.

“Ok i won’t then, if you really don’t want me to”. You said getting off her and falling to the side feeling like it was your fault.

“I’m sorry”. She said covering her eyes.

“Don’t be sorry”.

She shook her head.

“How about I do it, but you can keep your clothes on just look at me. I really want to”.

“Okay”.

“You’re certain?”.

“Yes”. She smiled.

You straddled her hips and your fingers traced down her body until you soon went inside of her. Her face was full of pleasure and relief like a weight had been lifted. Her mouth was open as she succumbed to you.

“You’re so beautiful”. You whispered in her ear then placed kisses down her neck but her arms started to wrap around you feeling your body.

“No touching”. You teased, moving her arms around her own back with one hand, the other still keeping a steady rhythm. It didn’t take her long to release also, now filled with ecstasy. She really needed that and she knew it too.

“Fuck”. She giggled, now glowing.

“You’re welcome”. You said, then placed a kiss on her lips.
