Sunsets and footballers (Part 60)
Lucy Bronze x Reader (52) / Alexia Putellas x Character (20) & Jordan Nobbs x Leah Williamson (10)
Masterlist (other parts here)
((**6.1k**))
YFN POV
âWas that Alexia?â Lucy asked, surprised.
âYeah,â YFN murmured, just as shocked.
âCalling you?â
She met Lucyâs green eyes â the ones that made the butterflies in her tummy do somersaults. âDonât be jealous, Luce.â She teased, knowing full well that she wasnât.
Lucy rolled her eyes. âIs she okay?â She asked as she bent in front of the bed and patted YFNâs thigh. âUp you get, little one.â
YFN shuffled to the edge of the bed and pressed herself against Lucyâs strong back, wrapping her arm around her front and her good leg around her waist while the other stayed straight in her brace. Lucy stood and walked them to the bathroom. They had gotten used to getting around the house in all different ways, Lucy insisting on helping her everywhere.
YFN put her nose to the back of Lucyâs hair and breathed in her smell. She always smelled extra sweet after sheâd just woken.
âShe wants to talk⊠and also said Barca wants an update call with you twoâŠâ she murmured as she planted a soft, lingering kiss to the back of her neck in appreciation.
Lucy hummed happily. âThank you for that.â
She placed her down gently on the sink in the bathroom and pulled the high stool to rest her leg on. At this point, they were a well-oiled operation.
âSheâs coming over?â
âYeah, I thought itâll be good for her. I told her Iâm interviewing you today and suggested that we can talk after it, but she said she wants to come and watch and be interviewed as well.â
âIt does make sense doing hers soon as we wonât know when sheâs headed backâŠâ Lucy agreed as she removed her sling, and her shirt. The cool air of the bathroom hardened YFNâs nipples immediately and Lucy gave a smirk as she ducked down to kiss them. âHello, friends.â
âYouâre a child.â
âI hope not, otherwise weâve got a real problem on our hands.â
YFN scoffed as Lucy put waterproof coverings over her collarbone bandage, and her arm cast. âYouâre the cougar here.â
âItâs okay, mummyâs here.â
âOh god, Luce.â
Lucy chuckled at her own joke as she usually did and finished taping the top of the soft plastic around her arm cast. She put a hand on the sink either side of her and leant it. âDonât pretend you didnât enjoy hearing me say that.â
YFN bit her lip instead of responding and Lucy leant in, her lips brushing over her bruising, her dimples, her lips. YFN gave a soft, agreeing sigh as she leant into her, but Lucy had already retreated teasingly with a smirk. She gave her a soft peck on the forehead before moving her attention down to wiggle the sleeping shorts and underwear from YFN. It was embarrassing for her; having to be looked after, though Lucy was so kind, so patient, and never made fun of her for it.
She was now naked sitting on the sink and trying to keep her arm still as if the sling were still on, all the while watching Lucy and blushing. The footballer was getting a large black bin bag that theyâd been using to cover her knee brace while she showered which she was also ashamed to admit she was embarrassed at.
Lucy looked up at her, perhaps because of her silence, and saw her red cheeks. âOh, little one. No need to be embarrassed, okay? Itâs just me.â
She put the bag down and came close again, peppering little kisses onto her cheek. âI canât help it. I wish I couldâŠâ
âHereâŠâ Lucy stepped back and YFN watched as she stripped herself naked, putting their clothes into the laundry basket. She put her arms out and gave a little wiggle that made YFN laugh. âNow weâre even.â
âI think itâs less about the nakedness and more about the bin bag. But I do appreciate the viewâŠâ
Lucy winked as she came close again. âLittle one, you could be in a crowd of people all dressed up in their little suits and dresses, and even wearing nothing but a bin bag, youâd still be the most beautiful.â She leant down and kissed her gently, pausing only to murmur against her lips. âAnd youâd be the only thing Iâd see.â
They kissed slowly, loving; their tongues meeting briefly before a cold shiver from YFN had Lucy pulling away and sliding the bin bag over her leg. âCome on, we need to get you warm.â
âI still canât handle this.â
âCalm down Bree, youâre acting like a fan,â Emily teased.
âBut we are fans,â Bridget insisted as they looked out the large glass doors of the living room to where Lucy and Alexia were sitting together outside on a video call to Barcelona management. As if she knew they were talking about her, Lucy looked over and lifted her sunglasses up to flash her a wink. YFN returned a knowing smile from her position at the dining table; her work spread out in front of her.
âYouâve met Lucy before-â YFN started.
â-briefly!â Bridget interjected.
âAnd theyâre both lovely.â
âAnd apparently Alexia is single tooâŠâ Emily muttered as if day-dreaming.
âRight here, Em.â Bridget groaned.
âAlright you two, less gawking and more prepping.â
Bridget and Emily had arrived shortly before Alexia and almost had a heart attack. It had apparently been bad enough for them to prepare themselves for filming an interview with Lucy, let alone la Reina herself.
YFN let them finish setting up their camera and the backdrop against the wall of the living room for the interview photos. YFN went through a few more questions she had to ask Alexia, as her interview had been a last-minute addition. When she arrived, sheâd agreed to do it in English and so YFN made a note to use clear speech and simple wording. She was going to ask if she wanted Ridley there for translations, but she had chosen not to mention her just yet. She was always just a phone call away, and they could always edit it anyways.
Alexia came back inside from the video call first and YFN watched as Emily nervously directed her through how to stand and sit for her photos. A grey figure appeared suddenly next to her and she jumped, wincing at her collarbone as Chiquito rubbed his cheek against her jaw for attention.
âHey little man,â she greeted with a kiss on the cheek. âMissing mum?â
That had been a surprise to YFN, when Alexia had arrived with Chiquito. She knew how much he meant to Ridley.
His attention turned to watch Alexia posing politely for photographs while YFN started to work again⊠until her phone rang. Reading a line, she picked it up without checking to see who it was.
âHello, YFN speaking.â
âHey YFN, itâs LeahâŠâ
âOh! Hey mate, how are you?â
âYeah good, good.â
âHowâs the training coming along?â
âYeah, really good. Not fully back training just yet, I will be soon.â
âBut youâre running again?!â
âIt feels great to be fair. Really good being around the girls again too. Iâm sick of not being able to play.â She sounded a little frustrated which was completely understandable. âOh shit, Iâm sorry. Here I am complaining about me while youâre stuck as home all bandaged up.â
YFN chuckled as Lucy now approached her and wrapped her arms around her from behind. âItâs okay, Leah. It means more time with Lucy which is never enough. Sheâs been really amazing the way sheâs looked after me. I feel like a newborn.â
âRemember that I can help out tooâŠâ
âI will and I appreciate the offer. Now, what can I do for you? Are you just checking up orâŠ?â
âI⊠look Iâll be honest, I want to talk to you about Jordan. Weâre meeting up tomorrow night and youâre good to talk to about these things. Are you busy today?â
Lucy nuzzled into her hair while YFN looked around. âUh⊠yeah kind of. Iâm doing interviews for Lucy and Alexia today so weâre just at Lucyâs place-â
â-our place,â Lucy interjected too quiet for Leah to hear.
âOur place,â she corrected. âWith two girls from Lumos to do some filming. Are you not training today?â
âNo, not today. Physio today. The girls are training hard for the game tomorrow.â
âAh⊠well I can let you know when Iâm free after if you want? Lucy is taking Alexia to a boxing class later on.â
âI mean, I could just come over now if thatâs okay? Iâll bring you all some lunch if you want.â
She felt Lucy nodding eagerly against the back of her head and she chuckled. âThat would be amazing, thanks! A bit of this has been last minute, so we havenât actually organised lunch yet.â
âOkay, Iâll be there in half an hour.â
They hung up and Lucyâs lips found her cheek. âI fell in love with a real problem-solver, didnât I?â
Lucy took her photos, grinning in some, almost smouldering in others and YFN had to work hard to pay attention to what she was doing.
âSo just talk normally, like weâre having a usual conversation. Any time you want to pause, we can. Any time you need to find an answer first, weâll edit those parts out. And if you need a translation, I can organise that too.â
âRidley?â Alexia asked.
YFN nodded hesitantly. âIs that okay?â
She nodded in agreement as something crossed behind her eyes. YFN put a hand on her arm to bring her back. âWeâll talk after the interviews, okay?â
She nodded. âYes.â
âOkay.â
âIâm done,â Lucy said, joining them at the table. âWhoâs going first?â
âAlexia first and then you, but Iâm more than happy for you to get involved from off camera in each otherâs interviews. Itâll make it feel a bit more normal and relaxed.â
âOh, I can do that,â she grinned.
Bridget and Emily finished packing their camera away and joined them; YFN using the opportunity to discuss with them all the plan and what she expected. All five of them spoke a little more until it was time to begin the interview and they moved to the couch.
âUp you come, little one.â Lucy murmured as she picked her up and carried her to the couch. She blushed at a few looks she received but she wasnât embarrassed. Lucy settled her down into a comfortable position on the couch, making sure her water was close by, and her notes, as Alexia settled down facing her with one leg folded up. She looked comfortable, though a little nervous which YFN was confident would disappear after a few minutes.
And it did. Alexia relaxed into the interview and YFN with it, as she was just as new to the concept as the footballer. They started off with football, mentioning YFNâs own current disabilities and Alexia able to show that comforting side of her. Lucy hopped in with a few cheeky comments of course, though stayed silent as the conversation moved a little bit more serious as they spoke about her family. Her English was easily understandable, even when she was struggling a little emotionally talking about her dad. As if he knew, Chiquito jumped up onto her lap and settled there as if he were Alexiaâs pet. She paused to see if she should put him down, but YFN just smiled and segued the conversation back into the fun. Into the side of the footballer that people didnât usually hear about like her hobbies, holiday destinations, personal quirks etc.
Leah arrived towards the end of the interview and could do nothing to avoid the camera as she came in with apologies. She pulled the sunglasses up to hold back her hair and leant over the couch to greet Alexia and YFN with a kiss on the cheek.
âSorry! Sorry, Iâll move.â She apologised as she put the few bags of food that she was carrying, off camera.
YFN loved it, though. It felt relaxed, and real. She knew itâd be something sheâd keep in the interview. People rarely saw players like Alexia and Leah interact.
The interview took about thirty minutes in total, and then they stopped for a lunch break with the food Leah had brought them.
âDid you get this from that cafĂ© around the corner?â Lucy asked as she sucked some sauce from her thumb.
âYeah it had some good reviews, so I thought Iâd try it. Youâve been there?â
âOne of my favourites.â She said as if not wanting to waste time talking when she could be eating.
âAre you all sorted for tomorrow?â Leah asked YFN.
âOh, yes. I organised a lot of it from the hospital, and so everybodyâs prepped for the games on Sunday⊠tomorrow.â
âWhere are you two going to be?â Leah asked Bridget and Emily who were watching the conversation like a tennis match, almost too nervous to speak.
âWeâre doing the Gunners, Hammers game at Meadow Park,â Emily said with a smile.
âTheyâre Gooners so I try to keep them close to your club,â YFN explained.
A piece of salad fell out of her sandwich and Lucy was quick to help.
âLet me cut it up for you, little one.â
She gave her a quick kiss on the cheek as she took her plate and cut her sandwich up into smaller pieces, so it was easier to eat with one hand. She didnât miss the longing looks that Alexia and Leah flashed their way.
âAre you going to the Lioness games next week?â YFN asked Leah, hoping the subject wouldnât be tender.
She nodded. âI was hoping you could come with me, if youâre comfortable with it?â
âIâd be happy to go if the doctor clears me to start putting a little weight on my leg next weekâŠâ
âTo Scotland?â Lucy asked, worried.
âMaybe⊠I know itâs important for youâŠâ
ââŠand weâll get better seats if we have you with us. And better access.â
âNot good reasoning,â Lucy said protectively while YFN chuckled.
âI think itâs great reasoning, Luce. Plus, I love seeing you play for England. Youâre a maniac.â
âSheâs moreâŠcareful at Barcelona,â Alexia agreed.
âSheâs very good in the important games,â YFN said, enjoying teasing her as she took a cut up piece of her sandwich and ate it.
âYes yes, very scary,â Alexia said and her accent made it that much funnier.
âOkay, is it attack Lucy day?â Lucy grumbled as she took another bite.
As the girls were tidying up after lunch, Lucy was helping YFN change her clothes and settle back onto the couch ready for their interview. She wanted to look like it was filmed on a different day.
âLittle one?â She said quietly.
âThatâs my name.â
âAre you okay if I go to the Arsenal game tomorrow afternoon? I wanted to ask Alexia at boxing if she wants to goâŠâ
YFN knew full well that Lucy wasnât an Arsenal supporter, she was a Man City supporter having had played for them, and so she knew that her objective was to keep Alexia entertained. âYouâre a good person, Luce.â
Lucy smiled. Theyâd done that thing where theyâd communicated without communicating.
âThanks.â She gave her a kiss on the cheek. âAnd maybe Iâll ask LeahâŠâ
âNot Leah.â
Lucyâs head tilted in question. âNo?â
âNoâŠâ
Lucy could see she had something else in mind and didnât question it. âOkay then. Maybe Ridley will want to come over and spend time with you?â
âSure, if sheâs backâŠâ
âBack?â
Before she could answer, the girls were back around them and they settled in for their interview, sitting much closer than she and Alexia had been, with Narla joining them on the couch.
Lucy was such a natural in front of camera. She was so confident, cocky even and very flirty which made YFN have to hide a grin back to her, though she knew her dimples were giving her away. She gave the same attitude back, proudly drawing goofy grins out of Lucy during the interview.
Sheâd conducted it the same way as Alexiaâs. Theyâd started with football, both Leah and Alexia throwing comments in off camera that she either answered or was teased with, then they moved to a bit more depth when speaking about her family and the bullying nature of the industry, and then finishing with happiness, fun, flirting, food, Spain, Narla. Sheâd had no idea that Lucy would be so openly flirting with her, though she didnât mind it, it gave it more character and showed a side of Lucy the public didnât really get to see that often. Anything more personal, she would keep just for themselves.
âCan we do player on player?â Lucy asked when they were done.
âWhat did you have in mind?â
âLeah and I, maybe?â
Alexia looked confused but YFN knew she was giving the two time to speak alone. She nodded. âIf Leah is comfortable with itâŠâ
âI canât promise anything will be postable,â she laughed. âBut sure, letâs do it.â
âOkay, I have a list of generic questions you two can use if youâd like.â YFN said and gave them each a copy so theyâd have something to work with.
Lucy helped YFN make her way outside to their outdoor seating with Alexia where they still had a good view of the pair inside being filmed chatting away by Emily and Bridget.
âAh, I wonder what Lucia was doing,â Alexia admitted.
âSheâs pretty good at subtlety,â YFN admitted as she watched her laughing away with Leah as she pet Narla between them.
âYes, she is. I didnât know that until she⊠met you.â
YFN was aware that Alexia and Lucy had gotten much closer recently and thatâs why sheâd only just learnt that about her.
âYou wanted to talk?â
âSi⊠yes⊠Ridley.â
âI assumed so. I noticed you had ChiquitoâŠâ
Alexia smiled at the cat who was getting attention from Emily as Bridget filmed.
âShe gave him me when you said I was lonely.â
She always knew Ridley was chivalrous but that was something else. That was romance. âThatâs a pretty big gesture.â
Alexia nodded. âShe save me yesterday.â
âWhat happened?!â
âMy knee was frustrating me and so I push myself hard to⊠to see if it can help but I overwork my body.â
âAnd Riddles was with you?â
âNo⊠no she sees me and take⊠taken me back to the home and look after me.â
âShe was just stopping by to see how you were doing and found you?â
âSi.â
âAnd that upset you?â
âNo⊠it was nice. She look after me with food and my kneeâŠâ she made a gesture.
ââŠmassaging?â YFN suggested.
âSi, massaging and⊠and we had nice day and dinner and she make alarm for me to wake up for Meg.â
âMeg the physio?â
âSi. She⊠si.â
She didnât feel good about the way she avoided speaking about Meg. âWhat arenât you saying?â
Alexia sighed and averted her eyes. âWe argue.â
âArgued about what?â
âAbout her carry me.â
âAh. Sheâs used to that, though.â
âYes, she say that. She talk something about SERE?â
She understood where it was going. âSERE training? Yes.â
âI make her tell meâŠâ
âAh.â It was one thing that Ridley hated speaking about. That, and her family. âDid she tell you?â
âShe say⊠she say they break her. Drown aâŠand starve andâŠâ she gestured again.
âTortured?â
âSi.â Alexiaâs eyes met hers. âIt is true?â
âItâs worse that you can ever imagine. Riddles was being kind. They make them unbreakable. They do all of that and⊠they even sexually humiliate them.â
âHumilâŠâ Alexia started. YFN found the translation and showed her and watched her face pale. âThis⊠this is why sheâŠâ
âWhy she sleeps around? One of the reasons, yes. Sheâs very comfortable with her body.â
âShe does not open to me.â
âSheâsâŠâ YFN let out a large sigh. âSheâs very complicated and very simple at the same time. She hasnât broken, Iâm assuming?â
Alexia shook her head. âShe⊠she tells me to go with Meg.â
That didnât surprise her. Ridley would want her to be happy and from what Alexia hadnât said, Meg liked her.
YFN wondered just how much she should say. She thought for a minute about what would be best for Ridley. Was Alexia what was best for her? She saw the way they acted around each other, and it was almost like herself and Lucy. Lucy. She looked inside and found her looking at her, still talking to Leah. Sheâd always wanted Ridley to find someone to make her happy, to fully open up to. Someone other than herself.
YFN reached out and gently took Alexiaâs fingers in her own and met her eyes.
âAlexia⊠she wonât break. She wonât break, because if she does⊠she will lose herself.â Alexiaâs eyes flooded with questions. âOne of the only reasons she got through the military, through the deaths and the lives she took and the tortureâŠâ She almost choked on that word. âWas because she wasnât doing it for herself. She told herself again and again that she wouldnât break because of us. Me. Her brother. Her mum. And so, if she lets herself give in, then sheâll essentially be losing her anchor. The one thing to keep her grounded and sane. That love she buries so deep.â
Alexiaâs eyes flooded with tears. âSo⊠so there is no way⊠no way to love for her? No way to let me in?â
YFNâs heart broke for her. âShe doesnât believe soâŠâ
A tear broke free from each eye and Alexia wiped them away with her spare hand. YFN squeezed the fingers she was holding. âBut I do.â
Her head whipped up. âYou do?â
âI really do.â
âHow?â The question was almost whispered and YFN was worried she would feel like she was betraying her friend, but she felt the opposite. Like she was saving her.
âShe needs to know youâre not going anywhere.â Alexia listened eagerly, and empathetically. âShe lost her mum. Brother. Almost me. Friends. So many friends. She needs to know that youâre here to stay and that you wonât leave her. She never attaches because she thinks sheâll lose them and it hurts her too deep. So donât try to break her. Let her pull you into her bubble herself. It will take a long time, and itâll be frustrating and maybe feel like you arenât getting anywhere with her, but you will be. I promise. Youâve already started and you havenât even noticedâŠ.â
Alexia blinked and YFN knew she was thinking about the ten months sheâd admired her from afar.
âShe⊠want a home.â
YFN nodded. âShe does. She planned on making us one but I have Luce nowâŠâ The thought of a home with Lucy was heart warming to her, though she felt horrible that Ridley didnât have that same feeling. âBecause Lucy is my home. She made that apartment in London for her brother⊠she made a home in Australia for her mum. But all of that is just material. Look close enough, Alexia, and youâll see sheâs trying to find a home, and she doesnât even know that sheâs doing it. She doesnât realise that home is about people. Or⊠a person.â
Alexia fiddled with her fingers, and YFN knew she was doing it subconsciously.
âAlexia, please⊠please donât break her heart. Donât try to force her. Donât try to break her. And if you donât have any intention on being there for her whenever she needs then please⊠walk away now. Iâm saying this as someone who loves her so, so much, you have no idea.â YFN felt herself tearing up. âWeâve been through everything together, and I couldnât handle it if you hurt her.â
âYou love her.â
âI do. I really, really do. And I would drop everything to pick up the broken pieces of her and put her back together again. But please, donât put her in that situation. Sheâs one of the best people Iâve ever met. She deserves everything good.â
âI wonât hurt herâŠâ
âYouâre going to stay?â
Alexia nodded, as if it were the only choice. âYes, I stay.â
âYou have my number. You call me or text me anytime, okay?â
âI will.â Her voice was husky.
âYou need to let her know youâre not going anywhereâŠâ she repeated. âThat youâre âright hereâ.â
After the Lionesses were done with their player on player, Bridget and Emily passed YFN the footage and left, taking the spare sandwiches and pastries upon Leahâs insistence, YFN making sure to compliment them on how well they did. Shortly after, Lucy and Alexia headed out to their boxing session in the city. Lucy had made time before they left, however, to quietly make sure YFN was okay after seeing her red eyes, ducking down next to her and letting her know just how much she loved her.
âYouâre an amazing friend, little one. An amazing person. An amazing girlfriend. Iâm so lucky. I love you.â Sheâd whispered to her; the two sharing a kiss before she went.
âLuce⊠come back to me,â sheâd murmured in return, giving her a longing look. It felt strange to say, as theyâd been inseparable the past week, but she wanted her. Always. Especially after the conversation sheâd had with Alexia.
âIâll be back before you know it, love. Iâll bring dinner home.â
âI love a breadwinner.â
Sheâd grinned, teasingly. âThatâs mummy to you.â
âArgh,â Sheâd replied, disgusted, and shoved her and pointed to the door. âGo, cougar.â
âIsnât there only three years between you two?â Leah asked as Lucy chuckled her way to the front door.
âYes, but the maturity differences evens it out⊠and then some.â
She heard Lucy scoff from the doorway as it clicked shut, and then there were two.
âYou must feel pretty attached to that couch by nowâŠâ Leah said.
âOh, you have no idea. Pretty sure my body is imprinted on it.â
She let out a chuckle. âSo, it appears Iâm not the only therapy youâre giving today.â
âDid Lucy sayâŠ?â
She shook her head. âNo, I saw you two out the window. Alexia and Ridley, right?â
âYeah. Itâs much, much more complicated than your situation.â
âHave you spoken to Jordan?â
âYeah a bit actually. She doesnât like Birmingham too much, I think.â
âDo you feel like youâre missing your home there?â
Chiquito launched up onto the couch, finding interest in Leah before climbing his way over a now sleeping Narla, to settle in YFNâs lap.
âIs it too corny to say that I feel like Iâm missing my home whenever Iâm without Lucy?â
âA little.â She agreed. âBut I know exactly how you feel.â
âLike youâre missing your home without her?â
She nodded. âIâve struggled over a year without her. I miss her and Blu and our home. She used to live with me in London and weâd see each other every day and then⊠then I ruined both of our lives.â
âYou did it to protect her.â
âIt doesnât matter.â
âNo, it doesnât. Because you should have done it with her.â
âI know,â she admitted, not able to look up from the couch. âSheâs my person and I just⊠I fucked it up.â
YFN didnât let that negativity sit long. âDory said you protected her the other week from the paparazziâŠâ
âI told them not to approach her or harass her and they didnât listen.â
âBut you told them. That meant a lot to her.â
Her eyes came up to meet YFNâs. âIt did? I was worried sheâd feel like I was going behind her back.â
âOn the contrary, she thought it showed how much you cared.â
Leahâs shoulders dropped, a little relieved.
âAnd she also said you and she had a really, really good night.â
âIt wasnât perfect.â
âPerfection isnât all itâs cracked up to be. Itâs about the imperfections, the working together, the unknown. She was telling me in the hospital all about it and it felt like it had a year ago. Natural and stress-free and beautiful.â
âShe said that?â
âIn her own words. She also loves your hugs.â
Leah gave a sad chuckle. âYeah, she loves those.â
âYou know all of this already. So why did you want to talk to me?â
âI guess I feel like talking to you is the closest I can be to her⊠because I know how close you two have become.â
YFN nodded, understanding. âMy whole life changed the day I saw her on that beach.â
âNow you have Jord, and Lucy, and because of you, sheâs talking to me againâŠâ
âDo you have another date planned?â
âTomorrow night. I wanted to know what you think I should do... or if sheâs expecting anything?â
âDory just wants to be around you. You make her happy.â
âI was going to try and cook for her again. Iâve been taking lessons and I actually know where I messed up last time.â
âCan I suggest something else?â
âGo ahead, probably better than my ideas.â
âI think you should go and watch her game.â
âIn Birmingham?â
âYep. Youâre not a sub at the Arsenal game, right?â
She shook her head.
âSo go to Birmingham and show her that youâre there to support her. Show her youâre willing to go out of your way for her. Donât have expectations because she needs time, you know that, but just go and⊠be. You can take her to a restaurant after the game, or go to our place and spend time with Blu and cook or order in. Youâre more than welcome to use my bedroom if sheâll let you sleep there, but like I said, no expectations. Expect that youâll be driving back that night. We both know sheâd never let you, but still, just let her have all of the control, yeah? Give her that power and see how she uses it.â
âYou donât think sheâll be overwhelmed if I show up?â
âHonestly? I think itâd melt her heart. You watch her face when she sees you, Leah. In that first split second that it takes to recover her expression⊠youâll see everything sheâs feeling.â
Ridley POV
Ridley was staring out the window of her hotel room, unable to break her mind from her. Sheâd tried so hard and every time she got to the point where she knew sheâd succeed, she fell back into it, because she wanted to think about her. About the way she always looked sad⊠because it made her happy expression that much sweeter. About the way she stood her ground and challenged Ridley like no one had before.
She looked back down at the follow notification from Alexia that sheâd just received. Of course, that came with a multitude of other people following suit, being la Reina fans, and she smiled as she looked at her profile picture. Alexia in her beloved number 11 Barcelona jersey; that blonde dyed hair Ridley was obsessed with, up in her high ponytail.
Sheâd received the notification an hour or so after her meeting, and as she stared at it a little longer, she pressed the button to follow her back.
She found herself scrolling through her posts, unable to stop herself from pausing and admiring one particular photo of her lying face down on the front of a yacht. Her hair was in a messy bun, her tattoos stunning, her ass⊠was something that had Ridley wondering how she even existed. The things sheâd sacrifice to be behind her as she laid like that in front of her⊠and then there was her hand. It laid palm up, her fingers partially curled and begging for Ridley to entwine her fingers with. She looked so⊠soft.
Her phone started buzzing and she tilted her head in wonder as Alexiaâs name popped up on the screen, just minutes after sheâd followed her back.
âThinking about me, were you?â She murmured in Spanish as she answered.
âHello to you too.â
âGood afternoon, la Reina. What can I do for you?â
âYou can have dinner with me.â Her voice sounded like honey through the phone.
âOh?â
âI had fun the other day and youâre right, Iâve been too much. I was hoping just to spend some more time with you.â
âYouâre leaving London?â
âI never said that.â
Ridleyâs stomach did a sickly thing at the thought of Alexia leaving. âWould you like to leave?â
âNo, Iâd like to stay and spend time with you. Iâm not going anywhere.â
That settled her nerves a little.
âSo,â Alexia continued. âDinner and a swim, maybe?â
âIâm not sure if Iâll be back tonightâŠâ
âBack?â
Ridley hummed. âYes, I have another meeting with a client and it may push me to stay another night if it goes for too long.â
âWhere are you?â
âCurrently? Switzerland.â
âWhatâŠ?!â It was more disheartened than shocked.
âLet me just have a look at the flights. I was originally planning to stay here another night.â
âI donât want to put you outâŠâ
âYou could never put me out, Lex. It sounds like a great idea.â Anything to be around her. âJust let me check.â Ridley scrolled through the flights and found two potentials. One landing at 6pm, and the other at 7:30pm. Though, she knew there was more chance sheâd be on the later flight given how frustratingly underprepared the clients had been. âI have one that I will most likely be on. Iâll get to the apartment around 8pm, if that works?â
âSounds perfect to me.â
âWould you like me to organise it?â
âNo, Iâve already booked a place for 8pm. Iâll call and change the time to a little later.â
âOh, you have? How presumptuous of you.â
âI learned from the best.â
Ridley chuckled at her humour. âAre you going to dress up for me?â
âOnly if you dress up for me.â Cheeky, but not flirty.
âDeal. Letâs both dress nice for each other. Iâm heading into my meeting now, but Iâll see you tonight, la Reina.â
Alexia POV
She was nervous. It was 6:30pm and Ridley was going to be at the apartment in the next hour and a half. Sheâd barely had time to buy a dress with Lucia before picking up Chiquito and getting back to the apartment for her rehab appointment. Sheâd forgotten about it so late that it had been too late to cancel, and now she was checking her watch for the tenth time to make sure she left before Ridley arrived.
That wouldnât be good, especially after the discussion sheâd had with Blau about letting Ridley know she was always going to be there.
âHow is it feeling today?â Meg asked as she scraped her thigh with a plastic device. It was always so painful. Alexia groaned and gripped the gym bench harder from where she sat.
âOkay until you do thatâŠâ
Meg giggled. âBut it helps. You know it does.â
Alexia didnât agree with her. Sheâd been very careful to not encourage her, especially with the physioâs wandering hands.
âDo you have any plans for tonight?â
The question was so off-topic as theyâd been professional for the whole session thus-far.
âSi,â she groaned again. It felt like she was peeling her skin off. âI do.â
âOh? What are you doing?â
âMâŠMeg I do not wanting to talk about this now.â Alexia said, tilting her head back and squeezing her eyes shut in pain.
âAlmost done,â she giggled again and finished up, starting to massage instead. After a few more moments of silence, Meg spoke again, seeming to build confidence from somewhere. âI think you should spend the night with me.â
Alexiaâs head shot up and her eyes opened to see Meg staring at her, very, very seriously.
âI have plan tonightâŠâ Was all she could say.
âThen cancel,â she murmured as she moved close to Alexia. âWe can hang out and have some fun like we always do, yes?â
Their sessions had been fun, sure, but it was bold of her to make a move. Of course, Alexia should have expected it, having led her on with her flirting the past few sessions.
Meg got even closer now while Alexia stared, wide-eyed and worried sheâd hurt her feelings.
âYour session is done,â she whispered as her lips found Alexiaâs.
Alexia didnât kiss her back, she just stared, stunned and pulled away, unable to find words.
A voice sounded from the doorway then and Alexiaâs head snapped to where Ridley stood with an expression that was far too neutral.
âShould I come back later?â

Hi! I loooove your comic) Btw, what is your favorite song?
Heheh, thank you!
Idk if you mean favorite song in general, or just from undertale, so i'll give you a twofer:
For Undertale, if I really had to pick, i do think it's still Megalovania. Not just because Sans is my favorite character, but because I really like the song itself--it's constructed really well, musically, and rock is one of my favorite genres.
Which leads into my non-Undertale song pretty well. Now, actually choosing a favorite song out of everything I listen to is hard. But, I think I have to go with the first thing that popped into my head, and is in fact a strong contender for favorite: La Villa Strangiato :>
#undertalethingem chats#i decided to let the video for la villa strangiato play while i wrote this and just. man. so good.#even if la villa strangiato isn't actually my favorite song rush is definitely my favorite band :>#not undertale#mostly?? lol
