Fallen Stars // Manuel Neuer

Lilly

"Alex, wakie wakie." Kinsey sang, shaking my shoulders lightly. My eyes fluttered open and I narrowed my eyes at her.

"There better be a good reason you woke me up." I groaned sitting up, that's when I realized where I was and the events of yesterday were not just a dream.

"We're about to land in London, now scoot over so I can buckle myself in." She said pushing me lightly. I sat up and moved over, buckling my belt and running my hand through my hair.

"Where's Manuel?" I asked groggily rolling my head to the side so I could look at Kinsey.

"He went into the cockpit." She said, a small smile playing on her lips.

"So what happened while I was out?" I asked as the plane began descending.

"Well Manuel and I watched the movie, ate popcorn, then fell asleep. I woke up with my head on his shoulder and he was smiling down at me." She stated dreamily.

"Awh." I cooed, reaching over a pinching her cheeks between my fingers. Within moments the plane jolted slightly and we began slowing down until we pulled to a stop and Manuel came back into the cabin.

"Like my landing?" He asked, a grin plastered on his face.

"Wait. You just landed the plane?" Kinz asked, eyes wide.

"Yes I did." He stated.

"Do you have any type of alcohol on this plane?" I asked, unbuckling my belt and standing up, stretching.

"Of course." He grinned making his way to a small cabinet beside the one that held the movies. When he came back he had three small shot glasses and a bottle of Vodka.

"Thanks." Kinz grinned as he poured her shot glass. He then moved to the other two and set the bottle down.

"Thanks." I mumbled wrapping my hand around the bottle and bringing it to my lips, taking a long swig from it and earning a small chuckle from Manuel. My lips pressed together and stood up, walking over to a window. "Can we go outside for a little bit?"

"Of course, I have a ball right over here." He said as he stood up and walked over to a small cabinet that stood in between the two couches, and pulled out a Adidas F50 soccer ball. "Here you girls go, I have to go find the three stooges. I'll be right back." He smiled as the plane door opened and he stepped out, leaving me and Kinsey alone.

"Wanna go kick the ball around outside?" I asked tossing the ball in the air and catching it with one hand, the other hand being preoccupied by the bottle of Vodka, which I brought to my mouth and took another long swig.

"Yeah let's go." She smiled taking the lead and walking out of the plane and down the stairs. I set the bottle down on the stair and dropped the ball on my foot and began juggling.

"So are you ready to meet your little 'crush'?" Kinz questioned, a smirk plastered on her face.
