Lucy's Pov-
"Why are you crying luce?"
"What do you mean! You're fucking breaking up with me!"
"What?"
"What?" I reply, still crying.
"Luce, who said I'm breaking up with you silly" Keira says taking my hand.
"You, you literally just said you were upping and leaving and- and it was for the best" I choke on my tears. As I see Keira laughing, I shout, "Why are you laughing, how the fuck is this funny"
"Lucy pull over please" I listen and pull into the closest side road and just sit staring straight ahead, numb.
Moving my head to face her with her hand resting on my tear stained cheek, Keira half whispers, "I meant I'm coming to Barcelona with you." I widen my eyes in realisation.
"You would do that?" I say quietly.
"Obviously, plus Barcelona ain't too bad of a team you know"
"Fucking hell Keira, I don't know whether to cry or kiss you"
"Well your already crying so..."
I pulled Keira in and placed our lips against one another. As we pulled away for air, I rested my forehead against hers and whispered, "I love you so much Keira, but do you genuinely want this, to leave City"
"It's not that I want want it but my career has to progress someway or another, and Spanish football has always been something I admired so why not"
"Say it back then"
"I love you too, Lucy Bronze"
Maisie's Pov-
As I walk back, along the pitch, towards where Katie was sitting, I had a few photos with some young girls hanging around by the barriers. It was only a small presentation thingy, mum had come to meet me half way through the warm up, we'd taken more photos, had a clap from the crowd and then gone off the pitch again. Eventually, I reach the block our seats were in, and jump over the barriers, and jog up the stairs. We had decided to sit with the fans and not in the box, purely because in my opinion, the fans are what makes football the best, so why not sit with them?
"Oi oi, miss 300 caps in the house" Katie shouts as I jog up the steps.
"Shut up, why so loud"
"Well it's not like everyone didn't just see you anyways"
"No need to embarrass me further you know"
"I know but still, how long we got?"
"5 mins till kick off" We both relax back into our seats and put our feet up on the empty seats in front. I suppose that was one of the perks of less fans, there's a lot more space around you to spread out. Just as the players walk out of the tunnel and we stand up to clap them on, I feel a tap on my shoulder, causing me to spin round.
"Hi, were you on the pitch?" A little girl says, who looks about 5 and is wearing a Man city top, from the row behind us.
"Yeah I was" I laugh, "did you see me then?" I observe who she's with, and it seems she's with her mum and baby brother. Her mum looks crazily like Keira but I choose to take that as a coincidence and ignore it.
"Yeah! And you were with Lucy Bronze! Did you know My mum's cousin is dating her, but I haven't met her yet" The girl happily says as I slowly digest what she's saying.
"Ah, Josie, that's enough, don't bother her" Her mum pipes up, "sorry about that" she smiles apologetically at me.
"Oh no, that's alright, and um, did she say your cousin's with Keira?"
"Oh yes, Josie likes to show that off quite a bit, don't mind her"
"Well it's nice to meet you, sorry, I didn't get your name?" I'm not entirely so how to bring up the whole fact that Lucy's my mum to the so called Keiras cousin.
"Rachel, and you?"
"Maisie, I might be mistaken bu-"
"Wait, no way, are you Lucy's daughter? I should of recognised you sooner" Rachel cuts me off, to which I'm grateful that I wasn't wrong as that would of been highly embarrassing.
"Yeah, I am, I think I recognize you now, have we met before?"
"Well, I'm pretty sure you were at one of the family parties but you must have been about 8 so I doubt you remember me"
"Wait, the one for Tracy's birthday and we hired the town hall out and there was, like, 50 odd people there?"
"Yeah, that's the one! It's so nice to see you again, we'll all have to meet up again soon"
"Yes that would be good. Oh and this is Katie, one of my best friends, who I play football with"
"Nice to meet you Katie"
"Yeah you too"
"So does that mean we're like totally cousins now?" The little girl, Josie, pipes up again.
"Mm, something like that" I say laughing, "and is this your brother?"
"Yeah, that's George"
"He's very cute, how old is he?"
"6 months, thought we'd take him to his first football game today, and who better to see?" Rachel replies.
"Aw, you made a good choice, this city will always be blue"
"Indeed, enjoy the match Maisie, I'll message Keira to meet up?"
"Yeah, I'll let her know later" With that, Katie and I turn back to the match and Rachel and her kids disappear off.
The match finishes 3:0 man city and me and Katie make our way down towards the barrier, where we hang back waiting, and waving hello occasionally to the players as the pass, signing things. Whilst we're chatting, I glance down the pitch and see Keira and Lucy having an in-depth chat with someone.
"Let's go see who their talking to" I say,nodding my head in their direction.
As we walk towards them, I notice it's Rachel again, and smile, glad I know them at least and wasn't going to have another awkward introduction.
"Hi Rachel, and hi Josie again" I say, swinging myself onto the barrier and perching on the edge of it, leaning against mum.
"Maisie! Look I finally met Lucy Bronze"
"Woah, no way, shall we get a picture?"
"Wait, how do you two know each other?" Keira asks, clearly confused.
"Oh, we met earlier, and Josie said she'd never met mum so let's get a picture"
"Ok then" Keira laughs shaking her head. We all stand along the barrier with Keira holding George, and Rachel takes a photo of us.
"Hey Josie, shall we go on a walk round the pitch, we could even meet all the players if you like?" I say, looking at Rachel for approval, as she nods.
"Yeah please!" I help Josie over the barrier then pick her up and piggy back her.
"Come on Kates, you're coming too" I say, holding out a hand. As I help her over, whilst also balancing Josie on my back, I see out of the corner of my eye, Mum raising an eyebrow at me and exchanging glances with Keira. I choose to ignore them and start making my way over towards the group of players chatting by the tunnel.
"EVERYONE, meet Katie, my bestie and Josie, one of Keira's second cousins or something like that" I call out, gaining their attention.
"Hiya!" Josie calls from my back, her arms nearly choking me. I slide her down and place her on the floor, letting her run round in front of me. Katie just stands nervously by my side, unsure of what to do or say,
"Woah, this is quite literally a mini Keira, now we have a mini Walsh and a mini Bronze!" Jill exclaims, moving towards us. I shake my head laughing.
"Did you know Maisie's mum is Lucy Bronze! How cool is that!" Josie excitedly says to Jill, whose crouched down to her height.
"What? No way! Why didn't you tell me sooner Maisie" Jill jokes at me, earning a round of laughter from the other girls.
"It's almost like wherever Lucy is, Maisie is too" Georgia states, smirking,
"Right, pack it in stanners, we're off to go find some real company"
"No! Jill's funny" Josie protests
"Yeah, maisie, jill's funny" Jill scott mimics
"Whatever" I try not to smile and shake my head.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(At home after the match)
"Seasons over babyyyyy" I scream as I jump onto Keira and mum, on the sofa. "Ouch" I say as they both push me off, and I fall onto the floor. "Well that was kind"
"I quite like my hearing you know" Keira says
"I also like my bones in one piece" I reply quickly, smirking.
"Oh well, if you get injured at least you've got a while to recover"
I don't reply and climb back onto the sofa and wedge myself between Mum and Keira, breaking their cuddle.
"Do you mind?" Lucy says
"Yep, I'm in no mood for third wheeling tonight"
"Oh really?" Mum says as she rolls climbs over to the other side of Keira and starts kissing her cheek and cuddling her.
"Eurgh" I chuck a pillow at her, "Get a room"
"Polite reminder that we own this house, so this is my room" Mum smugly replies.
I side eye them then return to flicking through netflix trying to find something to watch.
"Woah, Ginny and Georgia season 2's upppp" I excitedly squeal.
"No way, yes, we're watching that" Keira matches my excitement.
"Ugh, no, that's so dead" Mum whines
"Wow, so uncultured" Keira says
Mum frowns as I click on episode one and relax back into the sofa, stretching my legs out onto the table in front. While watching, I quickly price together a new Instagram post.
