You had just joined Arsenal from Manchester City and was on your way to sign your contract. You were greeted my a smiling lady behind the desk. ''You much be Rachel Anderson.'' (idk what else to call her)
''Follow me''
She lead you into a room where Jonas was already sitting on a chair beside the table you've seen countless times on Arsenal's Instagram page. Jonas stood up and greeted you.
''Hello, welcome to arsenal. You'll be signing your contract here and then you can meet the girls before their training. You're welcome to watch them'' You just nodded your head. ''Girls are you decent''
A chorus of 'yes' can be heard from behind the door labeled as 'changing room' He opened the door and three dozen eyes were on us. You made eye contact with Katie whom you idolised a lot. She was your soon-to-be roommate when you moved all your stuff from Manchester. She offered you a small smile and you looked away.
''Girls this is our knew signing Rachel Anderson, from Manchester City. I'm entrusting you all to make her feel welcomed.'' Jonas left before telling their vice captain, Leah to give you a tour as Kim Little was injured.
''Hey Rachy, this is Viv and Beth, you, beth and me are going to have so much fun'' Katie introduced you and added the last part with a smirk.
''Hello Rachel, i didnt take you for a trouble maker too'' Viv said.
''define trouble'' You said with a wink.
''I've only known you for like 5 minutes and i already know we are gonna be besties'' Beth exclaimed.
''Right back at ya''
''Hi, I'm Lia'' the Swiss girl introduced herself. ''And my best friend here is going to give you a tour'' Lia smirked at her friend.
You looked at the girl behind her and was speechless for a moment, and that has never happened to you. You played for Man city for a single season and coincidentally, that was a season where Leah picked up injury after injury so you've never met. Of course you'd heard about the england captain, but had only seen her in photos. But Leah was drop dead gorgeous in real life. You might have a bit of a crush on her.
''Hey, nice to meet you, I'm looking forward to that tour'' You said with a wink as Leah's cheeks turned pink.
Lia nudged her as she had been in a trance and hasnt replied to you.
''er yeah lets go''
''After you''
As soon as you and Leah put distant between the changing room you turned to face her.
"Well aren't you gonna introduce yourself?" You said to her with your eyebrows raised As she opened her mouth you added "or shall I just call you mine"
Leah turned her head away to hide her red cheeks before rolling her eyes.
''Quite the charmer arent you?''
"I'm Leah Williamson and you are Rachel Anderson. There we know each other now".
"Hmm"
As Leah carried on with the tour she noticed that you weren't really paying attention to eat she was saying.
"Hey, are you even listening to me" Leah said frustrated.
"Sorry I just got lost in your eyes. Maybe you should give me a map to your heart?" You flirted with her.
"Shut up and focus"
You were waiting outside for Katie as she said she'd give you a ride to your new house. She came out with Beth and Viv.
"Hey Rachy, we should go out to sometime to get to know each other" Beth said
"Yeah we should, but not today, I am absolutely knackered" You said stretching.
"I bet you are but we should arrange something later" Beth said as Leah walked out with Lia. Your eyes met and you winked at her and she rolled her eyes before looking ahead.
A week later, you were settling in nicely in Arsenal, you haven't made your debut yet, but Jonas said he was considering to use you for the next match against Aston villa. You got along with everyone very well, you and Leah had a flirty relationship, and training went without any major hassles. Well until today. You were sipping from your water bottle and you heard someone yelled.
''Heads up Rachy''
Now you really think people should stop saying that, cause all it does it make the person turn towards the on coming object and getting hit on the face.
That's exactly what happened to you. You turned around and instantly got smacked in the face with a football. You were caught off guard causing you to go tumbling to the floor, clutching your nose.
''are you okay? hey hey look at me, how many fingers am i holding up''
You opened your eyes to find the blonde haired beauty who had been consuming your thoughts for the past week. She had her eyebrows furrowed in concern, holding up two fingers.
''I'm fine pretty girl.''
''Actually, there's something wrong with my eyes'' You said frowning and brought your hand up to your eyes. By now you had the whole training ground's attention on you, some of them making their way towards you two.
''What? what is it?'' Leah started to panic.
''I cant seem to take them off you'' You said with a smirk meeting her blue eyed gaze.
''Er..w-well'' Leah was so flustered that she lost the ability to form a sensible sentence.
''Rachy your such a flirt look at what you've done to poor Leah. She's been a walking tomato for the past week. Sorry about the ball though'' Katie saved Leah from having to respond, embarrassing her in the process.
You and some of the girls were going to bar for team bonding night. You decided on a black blazer jacket with a tight white button up shirt underneath.
"Hurry up McCabe, we're going to be late" The Irish girl who normally doesn't take that long to get ready was taking extra long tonight. And when she came down you saw why.
''Damn Katie, you're getting some good sex tonight with that outfit.'' You wolf whistled at her.
"That's the plan Anderson. And who are you to talk, Leah's going to have a field day with that fit. Are you two together yet?"
"Nahh, but I'm planning to ask her out tonight. Hopefully she says yes" You didn't show it but you were a nervous wreck.
"Are you kidding mate? That girl's face has been permanently red since you came here"
"Look who finally decided to show up" Beth exclaimed.
"Katie decided to go all out tonight" You said as you saw Caitlin looking at her with something not PG in her eyes.
"Hey Rach" Lia greeted you as you took a seat next to her.
"Hiya Wally" You said before looking at the blonde next to her and winked "Captain"
"I'm going to get a drink" Lia excused herself feeling the tension.
"So Williamson what you doing" You said taking Lia's seat.
"All those pet names and now your calling me Williamson" Alcohol made Leah bolder. You liked bold Leah
"Which one would you prefer? Babygirl?" You placed your hand on Leah's bare tight. She was wearing a black undershirt with a leather jacket and shorts.
"I don't know you tell me"
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you"
"You have a lot of rent to pay for the time you spent in my head" You winked and walked over to Katie.
"Did you ask just her out and leave without an answer?" Katie said confused.
"Nahh I need alcohol in my system for thet"
"Well you came to the right person!"
You both drowned a few drinks and sat there chatting when the Bartender came.
"Anything I can get for you?" She said eyeing you up.
"Yeah more shots!" Katie slurred
"Oh no you've had enough"
"So what you doing later" The Bartender asked you. You weren't dumb, you knew she was trying to hit on you. You were going to turn her down gently.
"Nothing I guess, probably taking care of her drunk ass" You said with a chuckle. The Bartender let out a high pitch laughter biceps at your comment, rubbing her hands on your making you feel annoyed.
"Well I'm Emma what's your name hotshot" "I'm Rachel, and I have to go my friends are waiting"
"Here's my number." She said taking your hand and putting a piece of paper in it. "And a preview of tonight" She leaned in and kissed the corner of your mouth. You were speechless and the Bartender walked off with a wink over her shoulder.
"Bruh that was out of line" Katie said clearly annoyed.
"I know but don't worry about it, not like I'm going to ever use this" You left her number on the table and helped Katie walk over to their table.
"Rachel why did you lead her on if you weren't interested in her" Lia glared at you.
"Hey calm down Lia" Viv tried to reason.
"You can't possibly take her side! Did you not see how broken Leah was!" Lia raised her voice.
"What? Where's Leah? What happened?" Your confusion turned to concern.
"You happened! And that Bartender girlfriend of yours!" Lia was getting more annoyed by the second.
"Rach go, I've got this" Katie had sobered up real quick knowing how serious this was.
You wasted no time as you practically ran out of the door
You pulled up at Leah's house and knocked on the door. You heard footsteps coming towards the door and stop.
"Leah it's me"
"I don't want to talk to anyone" Leah's voice was hoarse indicating that she had cried, making you feel a pang of guilt.
"Please open the door"
"You should go" Leah said opening the door just enough to reveal her face. The sight of the usually cheerful girl with red eyes and tear tracks down her cheeks made you want to drop to your knees.
"Let me explain" You said desperately
"I know what i saw alright? if you didnt like me why did you lead me on?'' Leah said tears forming in her eyes again
''what no please i really do like-''
''You could've turned me down instead of giving me false hope, that would've hurt less'' Leah has tears streaming down her face now, you also had tears in your eyes but you were determined to clear up the misunderstanding.
''Leah please, i really do like you. I know that didnt look great, but it didnt happen like that. I know you're trying to protect yourself, and i' not asking for anything more just hear me out alright? Whatever happens after is entirely up to you.'' You with desperation and as much sincerity as you could muster.
Leah stood still was a second weighting her options, before stepping inside and opening the door. You followed her inside and settled on her couch. You sat there fidgeting with your hands not knowing how to start.
''Who was she''
''The bartender, I think she was starting her shift since she hadn't served us before that. She was all flirty with me so i said i was going to go over to you guys and she kissed me on the cheek, that is, saying she'll wait for me and gave me her number. But i swear, i really like you, i was actually going to ask you out. I didn't mean for that to happen. I didn't even take her num-''
You were cut off by Leah smashing her lips against yours. You were gobsmacked at first but you reciprocated it soon. Gentle kissed soon turned rougher and more urgent. You pulled her onto straddle your lap making her part her lips inviting your tongue in. She wrapped her arms around her neck as yours went to her waist.
Your first kiss had turned into a full blown make out session, but you werent complaining, Leah's lips moving in a rhythm against yours made you feel on cloud nine. You were brought back to reality when you hear Leah moan into your mouth as you squeezed her ass.
You pulled away and looked at the girl in front of you. Her lips were swollen and red, her eyes were shining and her cheeks were tinted pink and you think, I'm falling in love with her.
''I really like you too''
''I could tell'' You said referring to her kiss.
''You know, i thought the bartender kissed you on the lips. It sure looked like it from that angle.'' She said stoking your cheek. ''So, about that date you mentioned...''
''Ohh, right. Miss Williamson, would you give me the honour of taking you out on a date tomorrow after training''
''My pleasure''
''I'll show you pleasure another time''
