It's the day of the date and I am so excited. The match against BK Häcken, which we won 4-0. I scored a hat trick and Sam Kerr scored the 4th goal. I wake up and decide to go for a run. I pull on my watching workout outfit and white runners. I pull my hair into a ponytail and smile. I grab my water bottle and head out on my run.
Once I get back, I head for the shower. I yawn and then step out smiling. I pull on my dressing gown and look for an outfit. Erin smirks and walks over. "You ok?" asked Erin. "I need to find an outfit. But first I'm just gonna pull on jeans and a hoodie" I said.
I pull on sweatpants instead with a hoodie. I find a dress but then I sigh. "Can you help me?" I ask. Erin nods. "Yeah, what's up?" asked Erin. "Do I wear a dress?" I ask. "Where are you going?" asked Erin. "I didn't ask" I said. Erin slaps her face. "Ask her please" said Erin. I just nod.
To Leah
Dress code for tonight?
From Leah
Comfortable yet dressy :)
To Leah
Ok! Thanks!
"Comfortable yet comfortable" I said, smiling. "Ok that dress is comfortable and dressy" said Erin, smiling like she won the lottery. I laugh and do my make up. I curl my hair and then pull my dress on with white heels.
I smile and go downstairs. I smile and Erin smirks. "Leah will be feeling some sort of way seeing you in the dress!" said Erin, laughing. I blush and look down. I hear a knock on the door and I grab my leather jacket and my bag.
I open the door and wow. "You look beautiful" said Leah, blushing. "So do you" I said, looking at her. "BYE! HAVE FUN!" shouted Erin. I laugh and shut the door. We get in Leah's car and she smiles. "So, we're going to the Ivy and then maybe we hang out afterwards at mine" said Leah. "I'd love that" I said, smiling.
We get to The Ivy and Leah parks. We head inside and we sit down. We order wine and I have a roast chicken dinner and Leah has a burger plain. We dig in and we enjoy it.
"So, how are you enjoying Chelsea?" asked Leah. "I love it" I said. We talk about football and then Leah plays after us debating on it. We head back to Leah's. She parks and we go inside. "Your home is beautiful" I said, smiling. "Thanks, my mum helped me out with decorating. I'm not usually this clean. I had to clean it coz my mums staying here for Christmas with my Nan" said Leah. "Well, me and Erin aren't the messiest or tidiest. We're just in the middle" I said.
"What's it like living with Erin? Kim says she's wild" said Leah, smiling. "It's fun. We get along so good like sisters almost so it's not hard to live with her plus it saves me from living alone. I am thinking of getting somewhere during the summer but I don't know" I said, smiling. "It's up to you, but you'd design a nice house" said Leah. I laugh and we sit down.
We chat about anything before it's to 8pm and I yawn. "I should head home, it's late" I said. "I'll drop you. Hey, what are you doing for Christmas?" Asked Leah, standing up. "I'm actually going home to Barcelona but after Christmas. Luckily Catarina is staying here so we said we'd do a Christmas with Sam and Mia" I said, standing up. "Sounds great" said Leah.
We drops me home and parks. She steps out and comes around to open my door. "I enjoyed tonight, Ellie. I really do like you" said Leah. I blush. "I enjoyed too, Leah. I really like you too. After my previous I wasn't so sure I could like anyone romantically but you came into my life and I feel happy" I said. Leah's takes my hand. "I don't want to hide us, maybe hide us for now so we can date in private before becoming official but I don't want to hide you. I know you hated being a secret in your last relationship so I don't want to do that. I want to be public and private. Public enough to just be us and private enough to keep bits to us." Said Leah, hugging me.
"Thank you, Lee. I appreciate that. I want public and private." I said. We look into each others eyes and notice we're both looking at each others lips. We lean in and our lips touch. I smile and place my hands on her cheeks while she places hers on my hips.
We pull back for air and Leah smiles. "When your back from Barcelona, do you want to go on a date with me?" Asked Leah, blushing. "I'd love too but I'm picking this time" I said. "Ok, just text me the date and outfit and I'll be there" said Leah, kissing me again. She leaves and I head inside.
"Good kiss" said Erin, walking from the sitting room. "You watched us?" I ask. "I heard voices so I checked to see who it was and it was you two" said Erin, smirking. "Shut up but yeah. We're going on another date so I'm excited" I said. "This is the best news ever! My ship is finally sailing!" Said Erin. I push her and hug her after.
"I'm gonna head to bed, I'm tired but Ez? Thank you for helping me" I said. "No problem, sis" said Erin, smiling. I head to my room and pull on my pyjama's. I slide under the covers and sigh. I look at my phone and text Leah.

I smile and turn my phone off. I cuddle my pillow and fall asleep pretty quickly.
The date was a success, their talk about being public and private was cute to me.
What do you think Keira will make of this relationship? Any opinions on whether Keira could have done it better?
I think if your keeping your partner private from best friends and stuff, your not ready for a relationship unless it's for a good reason.
Any idea on what will happen next?
Holiday time tomorrow but I will be planning this book! I'm really enjoying this one.
But when I finish either this or Meadema's I was thinking of doing an Alessia Russo book?
If so, what would you like to see in that one?
Hope you enjoy this chapter
