CHAPTER THIRTY - 10 years

╰─..★.──────────────╯

"Hey, babe" "Hi, cariño. You on your way home?" "yeah" "How was your lab?" "great. I actually had to partner up with Amine which was kind of awkward at the start" "Really?" "yeah, but at the end it wasn't so weird. We actually ended up talking" "Talking? about what?" he sounded a but worried. "Well he kept asking about you" "About me?" he now sounded more confused. "Yeah" "Why about me? Did you tell him about me?" "Well when I ended things with him I said it was because of this guy I liked and today he asked me how things were going with that guy. So since that guy is you, he technically asked about you" "That was ages ago" "What was?" "The whole Amine thing. You've liked me since then?" "I have. It's not been that long" "Like almost 3 months" "So I could've kissed you in London" "I wanted you to kiss me in Dortmund, but you didn't. Anyway how long have you liked me then?" "Define like" "Just crush. How long have you had a crush on me?" "I don't know like-" he mumbled something I didn't understand. "Don't mumble. I didn't hear that" "Like I don't know 10-ish.." "10 months?" "no more like 10 years" "10 years?!" "It's not that much" "That's a decade. That's more than half of our lives" "You know just a crush" "Why did you never tell me?" "I don't know. I wanted to, but the day I wanted to you told us you were leaving. So I didn't tell you" "That was like 2 years ago!" "yeah" "okay 10 years? I'm still stuck on that" "It's not that crazy" "It kind of is, babe. You had a crush on me for 10 years?" "and now you're my girlfriend" "You liked me for 10 years? That's a long time" "Do you think that's weird?" "No it's cute" "Just, 10 years?" "Yeah. I mean you're gorgeous, smart, really talented, much more and I was an 8 year old boy" "Sounds reasonable. Wait, did anyone know?" "Well after a while I told Marc and after like 3 or 4 years I told Bernal. I told Pau when we were like 13, but I think he has forgotten in the last few years" "years is still so crazy" "I mean it was a crush" "exactly. What crush lasts 10 years?" "Mine on you" "You're cute, babe"

"Okay I'm off now" "Already?" Margot asked the next day when I was just about to leave for the game. "Yeah we always have to be there hours before the game." "Well score a goal for us then?" "Sure, though when I do I will dedicate it to my boyfriend" "Cute!"

"Wait are that Beckham and Leclerc?" Jamal asked during warmup. "Yeah. How do you know who they are?" "They're amazing" "You didn't strike me as a tennis person" "I do watch it and those two? Real talents. Wait you watch tennis as well?" "Started because of them." "You know them?" "Yeah, they're my friends" "They're your friends?" "Why is that so shocking?" "I don't know. From where?" "Through other friends" "That's crazy"

I started in the game. It should be easy. The team is next to last. It took us a while to get through, but when we did Jamal scored a goal which I assisted. "Nice goal!" I yelled when he celebrated.

Just before halftime I scored a really nice goal. When I ran into the corner, I formed an 'H' with my hands and winked. Jamal lightly pushed me and then hugged me.

Immediately after halftime I scored another one, ran into the corner and dedicated it to Hector again. I hoped he was watching and smiling when he saw. Gnarby scored another one. Then our opponent scored in the 62nd, then again in the 90+1, then again in the 90+3 and then finally the end whistle. Thank god. I got scared there.

"You do dedicate your goals" "I didn't use to. Then you happened and I only dedicate them to you" "Then I happened?" he asked happily, "Shut up, babe" "You can be so cute" "Can be?" "You are very cute, cariño" "Thank you. I'll dedicate my next goal to you now too" "Thank you" "Well I haven't scored it yet" "well you probably will on friday" "Well I have to go now, babe, but I'll call you later." "Yeah okay, bye" "Bye"

"You scored!" Margot said. "Yes!" "You know I grew up with a England captain and how you just played was really impressive" "Well I do kick England's ass a lot" "That you do" "She'd kick Monaco's ass too, Margot" "Well she's never played against them, so we don't know that" "Well there isn't even a monaco national football team anymore" I said. "Oh god imagine there would be. Charles would totally volunteer for it" "I would beat Charles ass" "Oh yes" "But you know Monaco does have a really good club." Margot said. "Do they?" "They even beat Barcelona earlier this season" "Damn. I can't say that for any of my teams" "You have too many teams" Margot and I said to Mari. "It's my dad's fault" "5 is still a lot though" "It's not 5!" "Isn't it?" "Arsenal, Ac, La, Miami" "Still a lot" "Is real not too?" Margot asked. "You think I'd be friends with her?" "Fair enough"
