Dream come true

"Shit I'm sorry, you alright?"
My eyes where fixed on her in shocked and I immediately recognised the familiar face offering her hand to me, helping me up from the small pit of sand our bodies had created, I quickly brushed off the grains off my arms and she asked again for reassurance that she didn't hurt me,  her hand brushed my left arm as he eyes met mine, and I was left speechless. Staring at her like an idiot, she asked me if I spoke English to which I nodded staring at her like I'd never had human interaction before in my life. I couldn't believe Leah fucking Williamson was standing right in-front of me.

I snapped myself out of the trance I was in and replied "yeah, no, sorry I'm alright"
slightly shaking my head in disbelief as I felt a slight tingle coming from my elbow but chose to ignore it. as she replied "sorry I honestly didn't mean to tackle you to the floor, I was playing football with my mate and I didn't see u where standing there"
she said as her gaze went to my elbow as she saw a mark of red on the side of my arm and went to gently grab as she said "shit your bleeding" which I probably didn't feel it as much from the adrenaline and shock of the moment. she moved her hand down my arm grabbing hold of my hand as she lead me over to where their bags where. "It's nothing, it's just a cut I'm fine" I said as I followed her,
"yeah but you might've gotten sand in it or something"
As she gave me a soft look and smiled, before she turned around letting go of my hand as she approached their bags.

My eyes moved from Leah to the friend she mentioned she was playing football, I saw another familiar face, the Brazilian footballer Rafaelle Souza, as she started approaching me and Leah. She opened the cool bag they had brought with them , she picked out a bottle of water and leant over to her bag taking out an old T-shirt and approached me gently grabbing my arm again and lifting it so she could see the cut, she poured some of freezing water in my arm and I flinched at the small sting, she used the edge of T-shirt she got to clean any sand away from the wound "so you here on Holliday? Or do you live here?" She asked still focusing on the graze on my arm, "on holiday just travelling around for a bit on my gap year" I say as she turns back around to get something out of her bag again and as she gets a plaster and places it on the cut on my arm she asks "how long you in Brazil for?" She looks up at me and smiles and suddenly I felt all my 16year old self screaming on the inside as I saw that smile, I'd forgotten how much of a fan girl I was but now it's like it had gotten 10 times worse than it used to be "three weeks then I'm off to France with my cousin, what about you? How long you here for ?" Still looking into her blue eyes as she answered "another two weeks maybe"

Our conversation continued for what seemed to be hours. Rafa had headed back their hotel not too long ago as she was tired,and we had been laughing so much that points I had felt like I couldn't breathe, it had just started to sink in that I have been talking to my childhood idle, I had dreamed of being able to sit next to Leah and just have a conversation with her and have a laugh and it's been like my dream had come true.
