Olivia's pov
I woke up cuddled into less. She was still asleep and so I decided to just lay there until she woke up.
She looked so peaceful when she was asleep.
She started stirring so I kissed her lightly on her head.
"Morning baby, we've got to get up." I tell less
"Five more minutes." Less whispers
"We can have five more minutes okay, but that's it." I give in
About twenty minutes later, seeing as less kept on asking for five more minutes, I finally got up.
I get dressed into my Man City pre match kit and head downstairs to make breakfast.
Before long, I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist and a lock of blonde hair falls into view as less rests her head on my shoulder.
"Hi, there." I smile as I kiss the side of lessi's head.
"Hi." She whispers back. "What have we got for breakfast?"
"Avocado toast." I respond
"Yummy. Thank you." Less kisses me and takes her plate. "What time do you have to leave?"
"We are supposed to be at our coaches at nine but we are already running late because you wanted to stay in bed." I explain
"I just wanted extra cuddles."
We eat our breakfast quickly and before we know it, it's time for us to leave.
"I'll see you on Thursday, okay." I hug less as I finish loading her stuff in her car.
"Love you, livvy." Less kisses me before walking to her car.
"Love you too, less."

I was already running twenty minutes late and so I run to my car and drive to the Joie stadium because that's where we were all meeting.
I park my car in the car park and run towards the coach.
I walk onto the coach and am met with a not very impressed Lucy bronze and Ellen white. They were both like mothers to me and so whenever I did something cheeky or if I'm late, it's like I get told off by them.
"I know, I know, I'm sorry I'm late. It's not my fault though. Lessi wanted to stay in bed for longer and the time went by so quickly." I explain, out of breath from running so quickly from the car park.
"Go on Lucy and Ellen, tell her off." I hear G say from the back of the bus.
"You, shut up." I walk over to G and sit next to her. "I'm here now though. I mean I could have just not shown up."
"You were still late though, kid." Ellen points out
"Yeah but it wasn't my fault." I sigh, even though it was worth being late as I got more cuddles from Less.

"Who are you laughing at?" Georgia asks me about an hour into the drive.
"Less sent a funny picture of Tooney." I explain and show her the picture.
"You messaging Alessia then?"
"Yeah." I smile
"Aw, look how happy she makes you. Your blushing and everything." Georgia teases me
"She makes me the happiest person alive." I admit
"So, when are you thinking of getting her a ring?"
"I don't know yet. Soon hopefully." I reveal
"You're proposing to Alessia?" I hear Jill Scott shout from behind us.
Before I could reply, everyone had heard.
"You're proposing, kid?" Lucy runs to face me
"No, no. I mean, yes, but not anytime now." I explain
"Liv's getting married!" Ellen shouts and I sigh
"You started this." I joke as I turn around to find a very amused Jill.

We arrived at the hotel and I was sharing a room with Georgia, no surprise there.
Georgia was my best friend. I first met her when I started playing for England's under 15s. In fact, she witnessed me and less meet for the first time.
We roomed together for the first camp and became friends and then when I joined Man City and found out that she played for them, we became best friends.
Whenever we were away for matches and had to stay in hotels, we roomed together. When we were away and had to go on a coach or plane, we sat next to each other.
That night at the hotel, I FaceTimed less but it didn't last very long as just us two talking because G and Ella kept interrupting.
We got talking about our upcoming camp with England.
We were set to play Austria on the 27th, and then Latvia on the 30th. I was excited to play Latvia again as we won 10-0 last month.
We kept talking until we were all tired and went to bed.

The following morning, Once we had arrived at the King Power Stadium, we had a team meeting and before I knew it, we were heading out to warm up.
I entered the pitch and saw that the stadium was getting full of fans.
I grab a ball and hear Lauren hemp call my name. We had this tradition where we practice our long passes with each other whilst warming up.
I love Hempo to bits, don't get me wrong, but she can be so irritating sometimes. Not like irritating as if she follows you around everywhere or she purposefully does things. Instead, she just doesn't use her common sense, or she gets confused at the simplest of stuff. But that's Lauren and I love her for it.
Me and her are always competing for the title of 'the fastest.'
We always have and we always will.
We head back into the changing rooms and change into our kit before Steph does her captain talk.
I manage to get changed quickly so I can check the score for Less' match. I look at the timeline and see that she had scored just before half time.
I then look at my messages and see that Less had messaged me during her half time.
"Remember what I said. Score a hat Rick and tomorrow night you'll have a surprise." She put on the message.
Right, my top priority this match, get a hat Rick.

The match kicks off and within a minute, Leicester had scored. We were down 1-0.
However, that didn't last long as in the 24' I managed to score the equaliser.
Just thirteen minutes later, Kiera Walsh manages to score one too. We were now in the lead.
Half time then came around and I found out that less' match had finished and they drew 1-1.
The second half kicks off and nothing major happens for about 25 minutes. Leicester were making loads of changes but we hadn't made any yet.
In the 71' I score again thanks to a lovely cross from G. I go over and hug her, knowing I'm one goal closer to that surprise.
Gareth then makes a couple of changes but he keeps me on.
The 83' minutes comes along and I manage to get the ball at the half way line. I couldn't pass to anyone so I had to run forwards.
I managed to nutmeg a defender and before even approaching the penalty box, I just shoot.
I swear time slowed down at the moment. I watched the net ripple as the ball hits the top left corner.
Mission complete. I scored a hat Rick.
After the final whistle went the referee approached me and handed me the ball.
————————
"You did it. You actually got a hat trick." Less says over the phone
"That I did." I smile
"Well done, baby."
"I couldn't have done it without your encouragement."
"Well, we are gonna have a good night tomorrow."

The surprise I got when we got home was amazing, like always. We didn't get much sleep but it was worth it when I awoke in less' arms.
