"So like I reminded you before we left the training ground, this is my house so I have some set of rules to come with it" Leah said sternly
"Enlighten me" i smirked
"First you'll calm down with that attitude"
I nodded, knowing it was never gonna happen
"We have to share the jobs around the house"
"I'll do the heavy lifting, I know you can't lift much" I winked, winding her up
"Already broken rule number 1" Leah rolled her eyes
Leah listed off all the rules and then eventually we started to move my stuff into my room
"You want a hand?" I asked her as she lifted a set of cupboard up the stairs
"Who do you think I am?" Leah said offended
"Just trying to help" I laughed watching as she struggled with it but to stubborn to ask for help
"And we are finished" i said dusting down my clothes, looking around the room
"Good" Leah rolled her eyes
"Rule number 1000 don't roll your eyes" i said giving her a cheeky smile
"Rule number 1000, very funny I only made 10 rules" Leah said giving a pointed look
"Might as well be 1000" I mumbled looking down
"Sorry what was that" l
"I said I'm so thankful you only gave me 10 rules to follow" I said emphasising the word only
"Hm yeah that's what I thought" Leah said walking out of the room
——————————————————
"Honestly mate! When I tell you how many rules Leah has made for me at mine and hers house is unbelievable" I laughed talking to Beth
"How many has she made for you?"
"10! She listed them all off when we walked into the house, didn't even let me move my stuff into the house before she started barking orders at me!" I laughed
"Break em" Beth winked
"Good idea" i smirked
"What are you two talking about?" Leah said coming standing next to me
"You and your rules for the house" i rolled my eyes
"Ah no rolling your eyes!" Leah snickered
"Let me guess that's one of the rules" Beth laughed
"No! Alex made it up for me" Leah shakes her head
"If I have to follow 10 rules you have to follow 1 rule" i shrugged with a smirk
"I think Jonas made a mistake putting you two together" Beth laughed
——————————————————
I've never been much off a physical touch person, growing up I was so against the idea of hugging and being close to people, I just didn't understand why you needed to touch each other to show that you like each other or are close. Now a days I understand why people show physical touch, at least I try to understand I don't understand it all the time but I'm learning, but I'm still very against it.
"Alexxxx" Beth shouted running up to me hugging me, I gave her a few seconds before getting myself out of the situation.
I think I panicked, because I don't understand why people do it and grew up like that I don't know how to react and that makes me panicked
Arsenal have this thing where at the end of the training sessions the team go round and hug each other, to make us feel more like a family....
You can only imagine how I was feeling, but I couldn't not do it... that would bring more attention to me
So I went round sort of pulling into the hug and then tapping the players back and walking off.
"What you doing?" Leah laughed, not in a judgmental way... in a sort off friendly way.
"What do you mean?" I said trying to play off
the whole thing
"You? Can't you give proper hugs" Leah asked, again not in a vicious manner... in a sort of questioning manner.
"Yeah I can" I lied through my teeth...
——————————————————
"What you making?" Leah asked me as I cooked dinner for us, putting her arm around my shoulder from behind looking over my shoulder at the food.
"Food" i said sarcastically, moving out of her reach.
"Top class comedian you are" Leah rolled her eyes
"Rule number 1 rolling eyes... you've just broken that" I laughed pointing the cooking spoon at her
"Yeah yeah" Leah laughed
——————————————————
"Ay Alex your on my team arnt you!" Beth shouted, running across the room to where I was standing and putting her hands around me, showing me off to everyone
"Yeah alright Beth" I said pulling out of the hug
"Thanks!" Beth said running back to viv
I knew Leah saw the interaction hopefully she didn't think much about it...i was so wrong about that.
We were all in a circle during the team talk, I was stood next to Leah and Laura.
I was focusing on the speech jonas was announcing to us all, when I felt a hand wrap around my waist...
looking to my left I saw Leah looking at me
"Leah" i whispered
"It's okay" she gave me a reassuring nod
I tried really, really hard but I just counted focus on the rest of the team talk and I was glad to get away from Leah
——————————————————-
"I'm sorry about today" Leah said standing in my bedroom door frame
"What do you mean?" I questioned
"Team talk..." Leah replied
"It's okay don't worry" I smiled at her
"Why don't you like physical touch?"
"Grew up with the mind set so highly involved in football, that was all I could think about, so I don't make time for other things and then eventually I just got really fussy about physical contact and being all loving towards people. It was a new thing to me really and since everyone was so use to it, it made me feel uncomfortable because I had never experienced it before so it the end I just took it out of my life and acted as if it was never a thing to be honest" I rambled on
"Were your parents never affectionate"
"Hm I would say they were at first but they knew I wasn't one for hugs, i mean I wouldn't even give them a kiss even at the age of 2, they got use to me being against physical touch and just stopped. I also think we didn't have a family bound like that, our family is large but small at the same time, I had my nanny's and grandads, granny's, aunties and a uncle that I would see maybe once a year and then everyone else I never met, still haven't and probably won't ever" I explained
"That's like a different world to me, my family is the complete opposite to yours"
"like physical touch is a different world to me" i shrugged
After our deep conversation we decided it was best for us to go to bed...

"Way to long in the shower"
You get the idea... as the days went on a break one more rule every time
Day 7- No ones pov:
Leah walked into the changing rooms and walked over to Beth and Viv
"I don't think I can deal with her anymore" Leah said rubbing her face with her hands
"Oh why?" Viv asked, while Beth had a smirk sticking her thumbs up at Alex
"Her breaking all the rules, it's like I'm looking after a kid" Leah sighed
Bath couldn't stop her laugh, which made Leah shout her head up to look at Beth
"You wouldn't know why, would you Beth?"
"No no I'm innocent, she might not be but I am" Beth said pointing at Alex
"I've figured it out, you two think it's funny to annoy me like that" leah said walking off to Alex, about to confront her
Alex's pov:
I was sat at my cubby laughing at a video stina had on her phone
Leah walked over and stood right in front of
me
" A word please" leah said sternly
Whoops...
