Requested;
Being a girlfriend or a wife to a footballer was hard, they were always traveling, hardly home.
I was the long time girlfriend of Jesse Lingard, Manchester United & England international player.
Another night I spent in our shared bed alone, waiting for my phone to ring for our facetime conversation.
He was in Russia right now playing for England, they were doing beyond well, the whole nation was behind them but unfortunately for me, family wasn't allowed out to see them just yet, two more games and I could fly out to see my man.
The hours past by and still no phone call, no facetime request, i sighed it was 1am in the morning.
I fell asleep in the end giving up the battle of fighting away sleep so I could talk to Jesse, but the more I fought with sleep the more my body wanted sleep.
The sound of a long waited ping woke me up.
"Sorry I didn't call, stuck at training, I love you, I miss you" smiling at my phone, Jesse finally made contact, my heart dropped know I couldn't talk to him tonight but my mind rested knowing he was safe.
"I miss you & love you too" I replied before putting my phone back down and going back to sleep.
