Only You

First date... For Five?

Leah's POV

This felt weird, I was introducing the girl I've known not even 24 hours to my mum... I mean I wanted it to happen, but the more I think about it the more I'm questioning myself. What do I say, how do I introduce Flo. She's not my girlfriend, she's more than my teammate. Obviously. But there's this fine line we're sat on, in-between many different things. All I do know is that I should've asked Florence about this before we started walking down the stairs and through the doorway into my living room where I could already hear the chatter and laughter between my family.

Florence's POV

Ohhh myyy Godddd. What have I done, I don't think either of us thought this through very well. What is she even gonna say. What is she going to introduce me as? I'm not her girlfriend but I'd like to think I'll get a better title than 'teammate' after the past twenty four hours. I'm about to meet her mum, whilst her cousin - who has just seen my tits - watches the entire interaction. What were we thinking. I should've snuck out, asked to meet Leah later on to sort everything out. This is all suddenly very official for two people who haven't even spoke between themselves about what this all means.

I glance at Leah as we're about to enter the room, there is not smile present on her face, she looks a bit ill actually. There isn't a smile on my face either. I'm thinking about sprinting out of the front door which is only a few feet away from me.

Leah catches my worried look, and as our eyes meet again it's like the world around us just stops, I can see the colour returning to her face, a rosy tint creeping onto her cheeks, bright blue filling up the areas that had turned a dim grey in her eyes. She pulled me closer her mouth just next to my ear.

"You can run you know... this is beyond fast and I don't even know how I'm going to introduce you as to them." She whispered "whatever you do right now, I'm not going to hold it to you, this is weird. Like.. Really weird. So whatever the decision is I'd still like to see you tonight, you can come back here or I'll come to you but I just need to see you again alone."

All the negative thoughts in my head vanished with her words, I was trying to make up my mind, form a response but as my mouth opened to speak I was suddenly cut off.

"Ohh Leah! Lovely of you to join us we were just admiring the new decorative work" A red haired woman spoke, her eyes had the same creases in the corners just like Leah's. I was intrigued now though, what did Leah's home look like previously... that was until I saw Leah's face and eye followed her eye line to see what had her so uncomfortable looking.

Oh.

That'll do it.

The black lacy bra dangling off the corner of the arm chair.

The red bra in a similar position hanging off the coffee table in the centre of the room.

Leah's shirt in a crumpled pile on the floor, and mine only a few feet away looking the same.

I didn't even know what to do I was mortified stood there wide eyed.

"Mum!" Leah complained, immediately rushing like a mad woman to collect the clothing, chucking it all into the next room before returning.

She looked at me, her face etched with light concern but as I looked back I couldn't stifle my laughter, then she began to laugh too, making her way over to me. Before long the three other women had joined too, the joyful noises filling the room.

Once the laughter had all subsided, Leah took it upon herself to instigate the introductions, it was nowhere near as nerve racking as I previously thought it would've been... especially with them already having seen my underwear, that definitely acted as a good icebreaker.
