𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑹𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒔 (COMPLETED)

On the board of the flight from London to Doha, England's national team players were either sleeping or were engaged in conversations about the World Cup and their goals for the following weeks.

In a corner, far in the back, the Chelsea boys and Jadon Sancho were playing Monopoly.

Unfortunately for the later, he was on the verge of bankruptcy.

" When was the last time you actually played Monopoly, Sanch?"

" Stop it, Ben. Just a bad luck."

The younger of the two reached and tried to hit the defender, but Ben Chilwell successfully avoided his hand.

" Oh, Mason. That was low from you."

While, they were not paying attention to the game, Mason Mount took two turns to roll the dice and was just minutes away from winning his second game in a row.

" Cheating won't take you far Mount."

Dominic Calvert-Lewin turned his head around to see what was going on behind him, feeling left out of the fun.

He was the one to bankrupt the previous game, after Mason tricked him as well.

" Like Everton will take you far, Dom."

Trent's comment wasn't late and it earned him a few fist bumps.

" Okay, Gentlemen. We're preparing to land soon, please sit down and fasten your seat belts."

Hannah Russel walked closer to the group to announce that the plane will land soon.

She especially wanted for Ben to sit still for a few minutes, as he was non stop moving around during the flight.

" Okay, don't look at me like I ate your biscuit."

...

" Welcome to our hotel! How can I help you?"

The French team arrived just a few minutes ago, but the lobby of the hotel was already a mess, full of footballers, balls and suitcases.

It was not going to get better any time soon, as their opponents in group A, Portugal was going to be there in only half an hour.

The Spanish lads from group C weren't far behind either.

" Yeah, hello..."

Theo Hernandez looked down at his key and a small card he was holding.

" I think there's a mistake. All of my teammates are on the fourth floor an I am alone on the second. Why's that?"

" We apologize for not informing you personally sooner, but there was a bug in the system and a some of the rooms are moved around."

The blonde woman behind the desk, turned around her computer so he can see what she was talking about.

" The people responsible for your accommodation should have informed you, but that's all I can do."

She looked back to see the disbelief written on his features.

Apparently he was the unlucky one and a victim of the problem.

The French, though, was pretty sure that it could all be fixed with a bit of charm.

" Look..."

He moved his eyes to see the badge on the girl's blazer.

" Elliana, you sure nothing can be done about it. Move some other rooms and find one for me with my teammates."

" As I already mentioned, there isn't much I can do and we are expecting more people to arrive."

" Okay, but can I at least talk to the manager?"

A flirtatious smile made its way on his lips. One more try wouldn't hurt.

" You are talking to the manager, Mr. Hernandez. Now move so I can do my job."

Defeated, he made his way away from the desk, but without forgetting to put the card Elliana gave him earlier inside his pocket.

" Elliana Dimitrova, manager of the hotel. Should have read that earlier."

" Imagine the chaos, when Spain and Portugal come."

" At least you speak both languages, Selena. We will know when they are bitching about us."

The translator laughed, seeing the face her friend and colleague, for the upcoming month, made.

Elliana's french wasn't perfect, but was enough for her to understand that the guy from a few minutes ago wasn't happy with the situation.

" Prepare for more, Ell. Ramos and Ronaldo had just walked through the door."

...

" You have Pulisic and I got Neuer."

Marianna Pereira looked at the list of footballers she and the other journalist had to interview, prior to the first match.

" Why you got the nice guy? Can we swap?"

Svetlana gave the girl her famous puppy eyes, knowing from previous occasions that she can't say no to her.

" Only this time. And you better invite me to the wedding, Sveta."

The Portuguese, wrote down on the list, that the Russian and her swap places.

" Of course I will."

" Your next guy is Pedro Neto. I am taking that one."

The two laughed and made a few more changes.

If they had even the smallest chance to charm someone, they had to take it.

" Later a lawyer is coming to meet some of the players as well. She wants to work together on the human rights case. Leijla Janssen is her name, she called me earlier."

" Okay, hopefully we can solve it."

...

" It's been only a couple of hours and someone is already injured."

Fleur walked side by side with Alicia, as the two entered one of the hotel that has part of the teams staying there.

" Who is here anyway?"

" The States and England as much as I know."

If they had to be honest, the idea of meeting their favourite football players and be put in situation that they had to be close to them, got the girls very excited.

However, they were not going to admit it so easily.

" I can hear them from here."

" Bet the old guys are making fun of Gio Reyna?"

Alicia stretched her hand for Fleur to shake it, agreeing that if she was the on to be right, the French had to buy her ice cream.

" Bet."

Feel like we are off to a good start.

I think I didn't miss anyone and we can now see where this will take us.

Also, I'd like to thank Sc00ters one more time for the help❤️
