Olivia's pov
Today we were playing the London City Lionesses in the quarter finals of the Continental cup.
It was originally supposed to be played last Wednesday but was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.
It was going to be an interesting match to say the least because of the whole Katie/Caitlin/Ruesha drama but I didn't dare talk about it. I didn't want to invade their privacy by asking questions.
It was an important match because it was the quarter finals of the Conti cup and Arsenal won it last year and we all wanted to keep the title.
We were also going to have to play against Lois. Lois was one of mine, lessi and lotte's best friends and teammates from UNC.
Lois was in the youth teams growing up but hasn't managed to get onto the senior team yet.
I'd always been close with Lois. Growing up, and at college, I shared a room with Less and then Lotte and Lois would be in the room next to us so we used to spend a lot of time with each other.
It also happened to be Valentine's day today. Originally, me and less were going to go out for dinner but we had to scrap them plans when the match was rearranged for tonight.

"Morning, baby." Less giggles as I push my head into the crook of her neck.
"'s too early." I mumble
"I know, my love, but it's valentines day and I thought that we could make pancakes for breakfast, seeing as we forgot it was pancake day yesterday. The girls should still be asleep for another 40 minutes so we can have time to make them." Less explains whilst presseing light kisses to my head.
"That sounds good." I tell her and take my head out of her neck so I could press a kiss to her lips. "Happy Valentines day, lessi."

"Lessi!" I exclaim as she throws a small handful of flour in my face. I then do the same thing back, making her face turn white with flour.
We then go back and fourth throwing flour at each other before less slipped on some. As she fell, she grabbed a hold of my arm, making us both tumble to the floor, me falling on top of her.
"I swear to god, if our daughters have your clumsiness, I'm wrapping them up in bubble wrap." I say to less and look in her eyes. I could tell she wasn't even listening. She just stayed still, looking into my eyes.
"I'm so lucky to have you." She tells me and i chuckle at her randomness
"I'm lucky to have you too, baby. So lucky." I whisper against her lips and she leans up to connect them.
It was a slow and gentle kiss. One that you could tell was full of love.
Just as we pulled away, a small coo is heard from over the baby monitor.
"I thought you said we'd have the pancakes ready before they woke up?" I ask less, sending her a grin.
"Yeah I thought we would, but we only ended up getting the flour out of the cupboard." Lessi says and helps me up from the floor. "I'll go get Mais and Lotts."
After a while, we eventually finished making the pancakes.
Maisie and Lottie loved the pancakes. It was their first time having pancakes and they were gone within ten minutes.
Overall, it was a really nice morning spent just the four of us.
————————
We had arrived at the ground and had warmed up and now we were walking to the bench.
Neither me or Less were starting today but we were told we'd come on later on.
The first half finished 2-0 to us, thanks to cloe scoring and a successful penalty that kim took.
At half time, Jonas explained that I'd be coming on for Cloe after half time.
Once we'd had a team talk, I made my way onto the pitch and we all got back into position.
After twelve minutes of being on the pitch, the ball had been passed into the box but Frida didn't manage to receive it and so it came to me.
I shot and the ball buried itself into the right of the goal.
Everyone comes and hugs me, and Katie pushes me towards the crowd. It's a tradition now and there's no point telling her not to do it, because she's going to no matter what.
Less came on later on in the game, and the first touch of the ball she had was a header and secured us a goal.
I go and hug her and press a kiss to her temple.
The game ended and we shook hands with the other team. When we got to Lois, we hugged her and had a conversation with her.
We had seen her over the Christmas holidays and so there wasn't a lot to talk about but we agreed to meet up once we were finished in the changing rooms.
The next match we were playing was the dreaded one for lessi.
Manchester United.
That was the only thing on her mind now. Before, she had pushed it to the side knowing we had another match before it, but now we didn't.
It was a sell out as well. 60,000 tickets had been sold.
I was excited but I knew how hard it was going to be for lessi.

Happy valentines, baby.
