Dirty Little Secret - part 6 (leila ouahabi x reader)

Summary: A love story about secrets, flirty messages, football rivalries, and useless lesbians who don’t know how to communicate. And it all starts with one badly timed challenge in the Champions League.

Leila Ouahabi x Arsenal!reader

Part 6/?

Read other parts here.

———

You’re a European Champion.

You don’t really know what to do with that information.

To be honest, after the first twenty four hours that pass in a hungover blur, you end up on a bit of a downer. You should be delighted, riding the high of being the first England team to win a major trophy in fifty-six years, but after two glorious months in camp with a group of girls you’re now bonded with for life, returning to your hometown for a couple of weeks before pre-season is a dose of reality that’s just a little bit too big to swallow.

You’re happy to see your family, of course. You’ve spent most of the summer away from them with only limited visits while you were in camp. But after the best summer of your life with a football at your feet, it takes all of about three days for you to be itching to get back on the football pitch again.

A few days into your two weeks off, a few of the girls get together for what is part post-Euro reunion and part farewell dinner for Georgia, who departs for Munich the next day. It’s a mixed group - a few Lionesses and some of the girls from Manchester City - but it’s the familiar dark hair at the end of the table that catches your eye, deep in conversation with somebody else you don’t know.

You’re surprised to see Leila who, apart from having her own Euro hopes dashed by Georgia’s extra time winner, has no reason to know Georgia.

You take a seat next to Lauren, who notices you looking at the two girls at the far end of the table.

“Oh, that’s Laia and Leila,” she explains. “I invited them. They’re still settling into the team and there’s so many City girls here, I thought it would be nice for them to get to know people a bit better.”

Leila must feel your eyes on her because it’s at that exact moment that she looks up and her dark gaze meets yours. There’s no change to her expression, no giveaway to anybody else that you know each other except for the fact that her eyes linger on you for longer than they would if you were just strangers who happened to make eye contact, until she finally turns back to her conversation with Laia.

You feel a rush of giddiness go straight to your head, blocking out all the sounds around you as you continue to look at Leila, admiring the sharp angles of her side profile. It almost feels like the Arnold Clark Cup all over again, having this secret that nobody else around you knows. You enjoyed your time in Barcelona with Leila and getting to be all coupley with her in front of her old teammates, but you’d forgotten how much of a turn-on the thrill of secrecy could be.

———

As the evening goes on, you don’t forget about Leila - how could you, when she is right there and looks so damn good - but you get a little distracted by everything else. There are enough Lionesses present that means you spend a lot of time talking about the Euros, reminiscing over the best summer of your life, then because tonight is about Georgia leaving, you end up talking about old times at City. It’s been years since you played for them, a scrawny teenager playing alongside Keira and Georgia, all three of you with big dreams and no idea that you would one day become European Champions together. But even as you reminisce, there’s always a part of you that’s aware of Leila’s presence at the other end of the table and you can’t help but glancing at her throughout the night.

“All us OG City girls are gradually leaving the nest,” Georgia says, smiling fondly at you and Keira. “I wonder who’ll be next.”

You notice that Keira is suspiciously quiet and has suddenly taken a deep interest in the ice cubes at the bottom of her empty glass. With the performances she’s just put on at the Euros, you wouldn’t be surprised if she’s got interest from other clubs too.

“City’s got some new blood now though,” you say, your eyes wandering to Leila once more. “Not that it’ll matter, Arsenal will still beat City this season.”

Predictably in a room full of mostly City players, your comment causes outrage. Arsenal and City are due to play each other soon for the first fixture of the new season and you always enjoy the rivalry against your old club. And with Leila on the other team, you’ve got extra incentive to go out there and put on a show this time.

You let them banter with you for a moment. Even Georgia, technically no longer a City player, takes great joy in slandering Arsenal.

When the conversation finally moves on, your eyes wander back to Leila, and you tune out the voices around you as you stare, mentally trying to figure out if there’s a way you can subtly change seats to be closer to her without alerting the entire group to your motives.

There isn’t, and Leila chooses that exact moment to meet your gaze while her lips are still wrapped around the straw in her drink. She lets the straw slip out of her mouth but you still get a glimpse of the pink tip of her tongue and there’s no way in hell you can pay attention to whatever conversation is going on around you now.

You excuse yourself to the bathroom, anything to give yourself a chance to get away and recompose yourself, and thankfully they’re all too busy laughing at something Georgia is saying to pay any attention to the flush of your cheeks, nor the way that Leila’s gaze follows you as you go.

You hear somebody else enter the bathroom as you flush the toilet and when you exit the cubicle Leila is standing at the sinks checking her appearance in the mirror. Her dark eyes find yours in the reflection, and her mouth twitches in a smirk of recognition.

“Hi,” she says.

You glance around the bathroom, checking that all three stalls are empty, before you approach the sink to wash your hands and reply, “Hi yourself. How are you finding Manchester?”

“I like it. It’s a nice city.”

“At least the weather’s been nice since you got here. Just wait until it rains every day.”

You walk over to the paper towel dispenser to dry your hands and Leila turns around, leaning back against the sink to look at you.

“Everything is always about the weather to you English people,” she says, rolling her eyes. “Too hot, too cold.”

“What can I say - we like to complain.”

“Are you going to complain right now?” Leila asks.

The air in the bathroom suddenly feels a lot thicker, the way that Leila is watching you as you dispose of the balled up paper towel, coupled with the teasing lilt to her tone, reminding you of just how attracted you are to her.

“No.”

“Why not?”

“Actually, there is one thing I want to complain about,” you say, taking a couple of steps closer to Leila.

“What‘s that?” Leila asks, her eyebrows crinkling together in a frown.

“I want to complain about the fact that we’re alone in this completely deserted bathroom and you haven’t kissed me yet.”

“You haven’t kissed me either,” Leila points out.

“Is that an invitation?” you challenge her.

Your words have the desired effect of provoking a reaction from Leila, because her eyes flash in defiance and she retaliates, “I want to complain about how annoying-”

You don’t give Leila the chance to finish her complaint, because you grab her by the lapels of her jacket and pull her in for a kiss. She lets out a surprised little grunt when your lips collide with hers, but melts into the kiss quickly, her hands finding your hips as her lips settle into a familiar movement against your own.

You only realise now that you’re here, kissing Leila in a secluded bathroom like your life depends on it, that it’s actually been months since you last did this. In all your focus for the Euros, the hard work and the euphoria, you’d sort of forgotten that you hadn’t actually kissed Leila since you bid your goodbyes to each other in the departure lounge of the Barcelona airport after your brief visit at the end of last season. Not even after your game against each other during the tournament did you kiss.

And with the way Leila kisses you, stealing the air from your mouth with such hunger, you vow never to go another three months without kissing her again.

“I’ve missed you,” you mumble against her mouth, when you have to draw back for breath, to save yourself from passing out from sheer lack of oxygen caused by Leila’s kiss. “I’ve missed this.”

Leila’s hand finds the back of your head and she uses it to pull you closer, not for another kiss, but to rest your head against her shoulder as she wraps her other arm around your back. You snake your own arms around her waist, burying your face into her neck and savouring the feeling of her arms around you, not wanting this moment to end.

“I’ve missed this too,” Leila murmurs, her fingers stroking through your hair.

She’s right, it’s this that you’ve been craving. Not the kissing or the sex, though you’ve spent more time thinking about that in the nearly three months since you last slept together than you’d care to admit, but everything else too. The intimacy of being held, of having somebody to share the little moments with, the ability to go from teasing each other about the weather to making out against a sink to cuddling like this, with each of those things feeling just as natural as the last.

And maybe, just maybe, all of that will be easier to facilitate than it was when you lived in different countries.

“Stay with me tonight?” Leila asks, feeling her voice rumble beneath your cheek as much as you hear the words.

You’d been planning on getting a taxi back to your parents’ house on the outskirts of Manchester, or maybe crashing with Lauren or Keira if it ends up being a late one tonight, but that was before you knew that you’d see Leila tonight. Now that this offer is on the table, there’s nowhere else you want to spend the night.

“Of course.”

———

Waking up the next morning, there are two things that you feel. The first is comfort, Leila’s warm body wrapped around your own with your hips nestled back against her own, feeling happy and well-rested after a night of good sleep in her arms.

The second is the desperate urge to pee.

You try to extract yourself from Leila’s embrace without disturbing her, but Leila only tightens her arms around you to stop you from leaving and mumbles words that you don’t understand in sleepy Spanish.

“Leila,” you murmur, trying to wriggle free. “Leila, I need to pee. Where’s your bathroom?”

Leila reluctantly lets you leave her arms and mutters in Spanish again, before she says in English, “Left.”

You slip out of bed and leave Leila’s bedroom, following her directions by finding the bathroom through the next door to the left.

When you’ve been to the toilet and freshened up a little with some cold water to your face and running your fingers through your mussed hair, you exit the bathroom and immediately stop in your tracks when you see somebody sitting at the dining table eating breakfast and drinking coffee. You think you recognise her as one of Leila’s new City teammates, though her name slips your mind, but you wonder if you really walked right past her without noticing her on your way to the bathroom.

“Hi,” she greets you, an amused smile gracing her lips. “I’m Deyna.”

You glance at Leila’s bedroom door, which stands slightly ajar as you left it, then introduce yourself to Deyna.

“Arsenal, right?” she asks.

“Yeah,” you nod. “And you’re at City with Leila?”

“Teammates. Roommates.” Deyna pauses, then adds, “Just regular mates.”

“Cool,” you say, unsure whether you’re supposed to continue to make smalltalk with Deyna out of politeness, or if it’s acceptable to make your excuses and return to Leila’s room.

Luckily you’re saved at that exact moment by Leila herself, who emerges from her bedroom with sleep-tousled hair to investigate what’s going on.

“Oh,” she says, when she sees Deyna. From the expression on her face, she’s as surprised to see Deyna as you are. She turns to you, then says, “This is Deyna.”

“She knows that already,” Deyna grins. “We were just getting to know each other.”

“Coffee?” Leila asks you, as she walks over to the kitchen units and grabs a couple of mugs out of a cupboard.

“Yes please,” you reply. At the table, Deyna’s attention is now on her phone as she eats, and you say to Leila, “You didn’t mention that you had a roommate.”

“Don’t worry, I’m a deep sleeper,” Deyna interjects, glancing up from the screen of her phone with a smirk gracing her lips.

Your cheeks burn red and Leila retaliates with what you can only assume is a string of Spanish expletives.

Deyna apologises, mostly directing it at you, before she asks, “So how did you two meet?”

“Champions League,” Leila answers, busying herself over the coffee again.

“We played each other twice in the group stage last season,” you elaborate.

“I beat her twice,” Leila says, glancing across at you with a glint of mischief in her eyes.

“Leila got a yellow card for trying to break my legs.”

“I didn’t … it was an accident,” Leila insists. “It was passion.”

“Strange way to flirt, but okay,” Deyna teases Leila.

“That’s what I said!” you exclaim in agreement.

Leila wanders over with two steaming mugs of coffee, one of which she offers out to you, and she leans in to press a quick kiss to your lips as she mumbles, “Hey, it worked, didn’t it?”

You thank her for the coffee, bringing it to your lips and taking the tiniest sip from the mug, letting out a satisfied hum.

The only other time Leila has made you coffee was when you went to visit her in Barcelona, but the coffee is perfect, like heaven touching your tongue.

“You remembered how I take my coffee?” you ask.

“Yeah. Of course.”

“Thank you, it’s perfect.”

The domesticity of it is nice, as if you’re existing in a bubble where only you and Leila matter.

Until Deyna interrupts your moment.

“Go and be cute in your room,” she tells Leila, dismissing you both with a wave and a roll of her eyes. “I’m trying to eat.”

Leila nudges you back towards her bedroom and you soon find yourself nestled against Leila’s side again, propped up against the headboard with steaming mugs of coffee cradled in your hands.

“You promised me a tour?” she says.

“Of Manchester?”

Leila nods eagerly.

“You’re gonna have to wait a bit longer,” you tell Leila apologetically. “I can’t hang out today.”

The disappointment that flashes across Leila’s face is almost enough to have you reaching for your phone to call your agent to cancel your plans for the day.

“I’m sorry. I’m supposed to be going back to my old junior club today. Helping out with some training, taking photos with the kids, letting them see my medal. Inspiring the next generation and all that crap.”

“It’s not crap,” Leila assures you. “Well, maybe for me if it means we can’t hang out.”

“Didn’t know you were so clingy,” you tease her.

“There’s a lot you don’t know about me yet,” Leila replies flirtatiously.

You smile across at her.

“And I can’t wait to find out.”

———

You return to London a couple of days later, regretfully without having seen Leila again since that morning at her flat, but you start to message each other more often. Not quite every day, but a few times a week, little things like talking about your days. It’s more familiar than it’s ever been before, with most of your conversations prior to the Euros being laced with flirtatious pictures and suggestive messages. But this is different - you talk about mundane things like training, or what you’re having for dinner, or the latest English slang words that Leila has learned from her new City teammates.

But that doesn’t mean your relationship has lost any of its spark. It’s still flirty, especially because Arsenal’s first fixture of the new season is away at City. It reminds you a little bit of those first couple of encounters in the Champions League last season, bantering about the upcoming contest in a way you hope leads to sparks on and off the pitch.

And then the game gets cancelled.

All that build-up, the jokes about yellow cards, the promises that you’d let Leila do whatever she wants to you if she let you score past her, falls away into nothing the moment that the game is called off.

You feel empty. And not just because football is your life and you’d been looking forward to the league starting up again, but because once the season starts you don’t know when you and Leila will both get time off at the same time. It might be months before you get to see each other again.

———

Two things happen when the season finally begins and September morphs into October.

The first is that you pick up a hamstring injury. It shouldn’t surprise you too much, given that you pretty much went straight from last season into the Euros, straight into pre-season. You’re in your prime as an athlete, but you’re not invincible. You work hard on your recovery, even if you’re a little bummed to be spending so much time in the gym and staying on the sidelines as the Champions League group stage begins.

The second thing that happens is that fifteen Spanish players, including Leila, step back from their national team in protest of their working conditions. You don’t know the details but you remember Leila alluding to some problems during the Euros, when she pointed out that talent alone doesn’t win Championships.

You don’t really know what you can do to support Leila, especially from London. The story blows up in the football media world and you imagine it must be particularly hard for Leila, being so far from Spain and away from most of the other girls involved, but you don’t know if there’s anything you can do or say to make it easier.

You eventually settle on messaging her a few hours after the story hits the headlines.

You Proud of you for standing up for the right thing! Always here if you want to talk about it or if you want a distraction instead?

Leila likes your message after a few hours but doesn’t reply.

The red heart that taunts you from the screen of your phone is something you’ll come to realise is probably the beginning of the end.

The Tale of Two Cities according to Heiko and Stephi - Part 437

Next week, after six weeks of summer break, school will start again. At least in Bavaria it will start again, that is. In most other German states it has already started.

Germany is a federal system consisting of 16 states. Education and everything connected to it, is up to the federal government. Therefore school holidays in different states are at other times.

Heiko lives in Cologne which is in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is the German state in which summer break starts earliest. This year it was from June, 22nd to August, 4th.

I live in Munich which is in Bavaria and it is the state with the latest summer break. This year it started on July, 31st and will end tomorrow, September 11th.

So North-Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria have only one week of summer break at the same time.

How is it in the area you live?

The Tale of Two Cities according to Stephi and Heiko - Part 429

This week is super easy as I want to give it the headline: It’s a summer, in the city! And beside going to a swimming pool, have a cold beer or just put your feet into cold water, there is nothing better than having cone of ice cream.

That’s exactly what Stephi and I decided to have in the heat of the summer. Th first picture shows Stephi having an ice cream i Munich, while the second picture shows my hand with a cone of ice cream before devouring it in then summer heat.

Theonly question left is, what kind of flavor do you like? Stephi could have all kinds of hipster ice cream even though I believe it’s pistachio and some fruity orange or so. Yet, there are a lot of strange creations you can get in big cities. I don’t even have a clue what kind of combinations there are. It will probably be cinnamon, chocolate with dried dates flavor or so. Me, I prefer the classics, having chocolate and hazelnut. I probably check out some of that hipster stuff but always return to chocolate flavor.

Now it’s up to you people. I guess it’s nonsense to ask you if you like ice cream. But what kind if ice cream do you like. Do you stick with the classics or try that new stuff?

[ 📹 A Ukrainian soldier surrenders to Russian forces in the city of Avdiivka, northwest of Donetsk City, where Ukrainian defenses collapsed in recent days. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation declared the city "liberated" today.]

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 🚨

RUSSIAN FORCES SIEZE THE CITY OF AVDIIVKA IN DPR AFTER UKRAINIAN WITHDRAWAL

Russian Forces have seized the city of Avdiivka, in the South Donetsk direction, in the eastern Donbas region of Ukraine, after Ukrainian troops fled their positions in a messy withdrawal from the city.

The city of Avdiivka is located just northwest of the Russian held city of Donetsk, Capital of the Donetsk People's Republic, one of four new regions that voted to join the Russian Federation in September 2022 in a widely criticized referendum that, nonetheless, was recognized by the Russian legislature and ensconced into Russian law.

After months of fierce battles which saw a long period of slow, grinding and halting gains by Russian forces, followed by sudden rapid advances after a recent collapse in Ukrainian manpower following two years of steep losses and a failed summer offensive. And with the United States failing to provide artillery shells and ammunition at the same rate it has for the last two years, the defensive lines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine finally collapsed in Avdiivka.

A day prior to the final order of withdrawal coming down from Ukraine's newly minted Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Alexsandr Syrsky, Ukrainian troops began fleeing their positions "uncontrollably" as Russian forces made lightning gains and Russian artillery pummeled the retreating units, which were said to be withdrawing in small groups of 10-20 soldiers in a haphazard fashion.

Speaking about the situation in a statement, Ministry of Defense spokesperson, Igor Konashenkov, said, “The order of the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Syrsky, to abandon the city was issued only a day after the uncontrolled flight of Ukrainian troops from Avdiivka began."

Soon after General Syrsky gave the order for a full withdrawal, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters the withdrawal had become necessary because of a lack of sufficient assistance from the West, causing the AFU to suffer from, what he called an "artificial" critical shortage of ammunition.

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference yesterday, Zelensky said in his speech that "Keeping Ukraine in the artificial deficits of weapons, particularly in a deficit of artillery and long-range capabilities, allows (Russian President Vladimir) Putin to adapt to the current intensity of the war," and claimed the sudden collapse of defenses in Avdiivka was actually a withdrawal who's aim it was to "save our soldiers lives."

Meanwhile, according to Konashenkov, "measures are being taken to finally clear the city of militants and block the Ukrainian units that have left the city and settled at the Avdeevka coking plant."

Konashenkov also added that the liberation of Avdiivka made it possible to move the frontline away from the city of Donetsk, where Ukrainian forces regularly fire HIMARS, artillery shells, and cluster munitions into the commercial and residential center of the city, targeting civilians with a punishing regularity that can now, possibly and thankfully, come to an end.

Avdiivka, as a northern suburb of Donetsk City, has been involved in the fighting since it began in 2014, and has been held by Ukrainian forces for the entirety of that time, with the AFU using the city as a staging ground the for strikes on Donetsk and other parts of the southern Donbas region.

On Saturday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces, President Vladimir Putin, "the complete seizure" of the city of Avdiivka in the DPR.

According to Shoigu, Avdiivka represented "a powerful defensive stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces" which has now been taken control over by the Tsentr Group of Forces under the command of General Andrey Mordvichev.

The Russian Defense Minister said Russian forces had taken control over "an area of 31.75 square kilometers" which has been "liberated from Ukrainian nationalists."

In his statement, Shoigu said the losses for the AFU over the previous 24-hours in the Avdiivka direction amounted to more than 1'500 soldiers, and that under continuous Russian fire damage, AFU soldiers mostly managed to leave Avdiivka rapidly, however they did so leaving Western weapons and hardware behind.

Shoigu reiterated that cleanup operations continue near the Avdiivsky coke plant, with Russian forces now attempting to block them in, while units with the Tsentr Group of Forces continue offensive operations to "further liberate the Donetsk People's Republic from Ukrainian nationalists."

Note

is there a city youve visited that’s your fav? also that makes sense after a while some cities start to look the same especially depending on where they’re located and if you’ve been to that region/country before

Hmmmm, I love a few cities. I could actually probably find you some positives about every city I've been to. Houston and Miami are the only 2 I can think of that I really didn't like - and I suspect that in both cases I just didn't find the right areas.

Off the top of my head, I'd say favourites are Abu Dhabi, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Dublin, Munich, New York and Singapore. I was in London in the summer for the first time in ages and really enjoyed that too - I wasn't that fussed with it before.

One thing that I noticed when I was listing these cities is that they're all very walkable (Abu Dhabi is probably the least so) and have a big emphasis on outdoor spaces. At least I'm consistent!

#put them in alphabetical order #cos I suck at ranking!#travel
