lilah
idk
we were fine
everything was fine after i told him what happened
but all of a sudden he hates me the second we get home
i've done nothing wrong and it's so annoying because what am i meant to do

lilah
don't come home tonight
until you tell me why you're all of a sudden trying to pick fights with me constantly or why you're saying nasty things to me then you're not coming here.
i'm sick of feeling guilty for playing with the lads because you're jealous
it's ridiculous and quite frankly the stupidest shit ever.
so don't come home, go stay with Declan.
i'll give you your stuff on Monday at training but don't expect to come back until you sort yourself out.
mason
is this why the girls and kepa left the team dinner?
you're joking me right?
lilah
i don't know who the fuck you think you are but you're definitely not the man i married
you're acting like a child and if you carry on then we'll not be married much longer.
i cannot stand you right now, the way you're making me feel for doing MY JOB is absurd.
get over yourself and your jealousy and then we'll talk.
mason
i'm not doing this over text
i'm coming home
lilah
no you aren't
stay at the party and go home with Chilly
you can stay elsewhere.
if you dare step foot in this house
mason
our house by the way
lilah
my name is on the contract, not yours.
i'm warning you
do not come home.

Delilah hummed as she sat on the sofa with Blue laying on her lap, moving some of her hair out of her face and pushing her glasses up her nose as the 3rd Cars film plays on the TV. One by one she could hear cars pulling up on the driveway, the girl standing on her feet and going to the door to let all of her friends in, all of them sporting pyjamas and had snacks in their hands.
"Bless you guys." She laughs quietly, rubbing the sleep from her eyes as she let's everyone in. Blue's tail wagged speedily as everyone gave her cuddles, spinning in circles if someone missed her so they had to give her a pat on the head or a scratch behind the ear.
"Attention seeker." Delilah laughs, pressing a soft kiss to the top of her pups head before she sits back down in her original seat with Sophia and Paula on either side of her.
"You, my girl, are going to regret letting us come here." Paula beams.
"I didn't exactly say you could, you just showed up and I let you in." Delilah replies with a soft smile, moving her glasses again before she leant her head on Sophia's shoulder.
They spent the rest of their night watching Grown Ups, drinking wine, or for Lando a glass of juice, and talking about things that were taking Lilah's mind off of Mason. It was successful, the girl was joking around with everyone and singing along to the music Kepa put on after the film had finished.
People were recording it and putting it on Instagram for jokes, but also to make sure Mason knows that she doesn't necessarily need him around to have fun. He was checking his phone every so often and shaking his head at the videos, eventually deciding to leave the team dinner to go home.
It was the wrong decision, he walked into the house dressed in his jeans and his white collared top to be met with Delilah on Max's back with a glass of wine in her hand. She hadn't even heard him or noticed him in the house, she was too busy mucking around with her friends to be bothered by it.
But then she did notice him. She sobered up pretty quickly, getting off of Max's back and giving him the death-glare of the century which everyone in the room felt even if she wasn't looking at them. What exactly had happened to make him act the way he was acting with her?
He couldn't remember exactly what she had done, but it was something small and silly like choosing to sit with Kepa or Chilly over him. He knows it's stupid, they're married for christ's sake but it wasn't just a one time thing, she did it all the time. If they were doing five aside in training, she would never choose him, if they were on the coach or the plane she would always sit with Kepa and never sit with him.
He was letting his jealousy get in the way of their job and he knows he shouldn't do that, not when they've promised the likes of Lampard and Abramovich not to let their relationship get in the way of work.
Now he was standing in the hallway of their home he knew he shouldn't have even thought of coming here with the angered glimpse he had gotten before she excused herself. She pulled him upstairs to the spare room to talk, the room furthest away from the living room so no one had to hear the chaos about to unfold between them both.
"What did I say?" She asks.
"This is my home too." Mason shrugs, crossing his arms over his chest with a huff.
"Do you know what's bad, Mason? I don't even want to call this place my home anymore. You belittle me, you manipulate me into thinking I've done something wrong when I haven't, you make nasty comments about my appearance like I give a fuck what you think. I've had enough of it." Delilah explains, moving her hair out of her face.
"You think you've done nothing wrong? Cute." Mason scoffs.
"Well explain what I have done wrong." She gestures her hands out in front of her.
"And so help me god if this is about you being jealous." She adds in, already having some sort of incline that it was the reason he was treating her like that.
He stayed quiet.
He actually had no reason to be treating her like that, she chose to sit with Kepa on the plane because she see's Mason everyday and sleeps beside him every night, she chose to sit with Chilly that one time on the coach because she wanted to ask him about Elle and how he was doing.
"You're actually joking me, what the fuck are you jealous for?" She raises her voice a little, startling him.
"Because you act like we're not together when we're out! You don't go anywhere with me, you sit with Kepa and Chilly consistently on the coaches or on the plane and you never ever want to discuss our relationship with interviewers when they ask. Are you ashamed of me or something?" He raises his voice even, listening to her scoff after he'd finished.
"I don't sit with you on the plane because I sat with Kepa for two years before you rejoined Chelsea, it's a habit. And I sat with Chilly that one time on the bus because I wanted to know how he and Elle were doing. Not only are you being ridiculous, you're completely forgetting we promised not only our coach but our Club Owner not to let our relationship into the club, so that's what I'm doing." Delilah reprimands, clearly not impressed wth the way he was acting.
"That doesn't mean you can't sit with me!" He exclaims running a hand through his hair.
"Being jealous doesn't mean you can say nasty things to me or act like a 4 year old starting arguments for no reason." Delilah quips, both of them going quiet.
"This isn't the first time that your jealousy has gotten in the way of us, is it? You got pissed off with me for being in the team before you, you hate the fact I'm friends with Kepa when you know damn well if I wasn't then he'd have no one, and you cannot stand it when I get praise and you don't." She huffs, tugging her sleeves over her hand.
"I think I just need space, away from you." She admits.
"Delilah-" He goes to speak but she cuts him off.
"Mason please, you know I love you more than anything in this world but being in this house with you is suffocating me. How am I meant to be around you when all you do is make me feel this big?" She questions, putting her fingers close together to gesture what she meant.
"If you wanna stay here then you can, I'll stay with someone else or get a temporary flat until we sort this out." Delilah looks at him, watching him shake his head.
"You can stay, I'll go stay with Declan." He swallows the lump in his throat, tears threatening to spill.
"We can make this work, we can do it, but we can't do that until you sort yourself out." She moves in front of him, pressing a hand to his cheek, the cold metal of her wedding ring stinging like a bee on his skin.
"I promise, I promise this time I'll sort it. I'm sorry for making you feel like that and I'm sorry for not trusting you. Please just... don't leave me. I don't mind staying apart for a bit but don't fall in love with someone else will you?" Mason whispers, the tears spilling down his cheek and his voice cracking at the thought.
"You and me forever." The blonde rests her head against his, comforting him for a moment.
"We'll sort this out, I promise." Mason whispers to her, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead as he pulls away.
She sighed deeply when he left the room, the girl running a hand through her hair for a second before she wiped her eyes and went downstairs. Everyone was still singing to the music playing through the TV and minding their own business, which she was thankful for as she picked up her glass of wine and rejoined the fun.
They were going to be okay. Mason knew deep down that everything would go back to normal soon, everything would be the way it was before they got married and the problems started. You and me forever, he thought for a moment as he shoved some of his clothes into a bag.
Him and her forever, just like she promised.
