My nemesis // Phil Foden// Femreader

Chapter 43- Nicki Minaj

"Okay so today we're gonna do some simple drills to get you back into it and then that game thing we have to do. Let's start off with dribbling the ball around those sticks in the ground and then shooting.", I said to them all with a smile planted on my face. They nodded and all walked over to where the sticks were, by the posts and then began with the drill. I watched each and every one of them have a go and although a few did miss, everyone had at least six tries so that they could have a few practices.
"Okay nice, let's go take a five minute break okay?", most nodded and some replied with a yes or okay. They all walked over to where the water was and took some time to cool down and catch their breath.
It had been quite a few minutes now and all of my group seemed to be good again so I went over to them in attempt to get them to do another drill.
"Okay, let's go and do some penalties k?", I looked at them all and saw none of them speaking or nodding their heads. They all sat still. It was a little confusing, "Alright, what's going on?", I asked desperate to find pout what had happened in the last five minutes.
"The team knows about you and Phil being a thing.", Saka said and I looked at Phil to check he was okay with them all knowing. He was just sat looking at the ground and his hands and honestly anything that wasn't me.
"Cool, I still don't get why you are all acting weird though.", something had definitely happened for them to be acting like this. It wasn't exactly normal.
"Some of the lads from the other groups came over during the break and pointed out that you aren't acting like you are in a couple with Phil, more like you are his coach.", Mason informed me.
"Yeah, Gareth told me to not get relationships involved in training.", I still didn't get what the big issue was with them all. I literally told Phil this the other day, what was up?
"That's fine.", Jack said to me in a way that clearly meant 'it's not fine y/n.'
I was so annoyed at this point that I couldn't be bothered watching them all do penalties right now, "Take five and I'll be back in a second.", I said to them all, I needed to do something.
"I thought you said penalties?", Sancho said.
"Yeah, we will do them in a sec. I'll be back.", I began walking off to try and find Bea. I had a plan.

I walked into the front desk and saw Bea. "Beatrice, could you do me a favour?"
"Yeah sure what's up?"
"Some of the guys were saying that I was treating Phil weird during training, as if we aren't together. Could you sit and watch me train them for like twenty minutes and tell me if and what you see is weird please?"
"Of course, now?"
"If that's okay, yeah?"
"Sure, let's go boo."
"Thank you Bea."
"No problem y/n."
Me and Bea walked out to the pitch and Bea took a seat nearby the part of the pitch we were training on.
I got the boys up and began talking to them all. "Okay, penalties so line up and then we can start. Goalies you can take it in turn to be in goal k?", most of them nodded and lined up. I walked off to the side of the pitch and observed them. They were doing penalties for about half an hour and I decided that it was time for a little bit of cardio work so pulled them all to do a new drill. "Right boys, new drill it's basically bulldogs charge but with a football. Split into pairs and play against your partner please.", I watched as they split up and then began. I waked over to Bea to ask her what she thought about the way I was treating Phil during training.
"Girl...", Bea began, I knew that I had done something wrong right then and there.
"Oh shit, what did I do."
"You kinda treated him like he wasn't there you know?"
"What! I didn't even notice, how?"
"When you were talking to them you never made eye contact with Phil and when he tries to move closer to you when you have discussions with them all, you move away from him."
"Fucks sake y/n," I said to myself, "really?"
"Yea, babe you need to talk to him when you give them their next break, before you cause a big issue."
"I feel so bad, I didn't even notice. I think I was so focused on Gareth telling me to not let our relationship get in the way of Phil's football, that I've been a total bitch and come across that I'm ignoring Phil without even realising."
"Don't stress about it, your a good person and if you just explain to Phil I'm sure he will understand. Try to work on actually looking and standing next to your boyfriend. You can hug him and kiss him, it's not gonna get in the way. I think Gareth means any fights and disagreements not hugs and kisses."
"You know me, y/n y/l/n, taking everything to the next level.", I say making us both giggle. "Honestly though Bea, thank you. I have no clue what I would do without you."
"I know you would be like a lost puppy."
"Alright boo, made ya point, I'll text you later and tell you how things go?"
"Yes, I want all the details when you get a chance to call me."
"Will do Bea, see you."
"See you."
Bea went back into the office and I went over to the pitch to see the boys, sweaty and tired. They had been running around for about ten minutes now so I decided to call a break, I also wanted to speak and apologise to Phil for being so...well, you know.
"Okay guys, ten minute break.", they walked over to the water and I took a deep breath in before walking over there myself to get Phil. "Phil, can I chat to you for a second please?"
"Yep.", he got up and walked past me to go to a more private area and Jack gave me a little nod to try and calm me before I went to catch up to Phil.
He sat down in one of the stands and I took the seat next to him. I turned towards him and looked at him for a second before speaking. He was staring straight ahead, at the pitch and I could tell he was a little pissed, mainly upset that I had done what I did.
"Okay so. I'm not going to lie, I did act a little like...weird. I didn't realise that I was being strange I just kept thinking about Gareth telling me to not get this involved in your football and. I'm sorry, I should have been less...weird.", after I finished speaking Phil finally looked at me.
"You made me feel like you didn't want to be my girlfriend y/n."
"I'm sorry, I love being your girlfriend. I didn't realise how I was coming across. I'll stop being so freaky and bitchy now. You okay?"
"Yeah I'm okay. Hug me?", Phil said opening his arms a little. I hugged him and then pulled back and smiled at him. "What's the smile about?", he said to me.
"This.", I said before smashing my lips onto his and giving him a quick kiss.
"Glad I have my girlfriend back."
"You never lost her, she just went on break for a little.", I said, making us both chuckle.
"Can she stay off break permanently from now on?"
"I think she will be okay with that, yeah."
Phil grabbed my arm and put his arm around my waist whilst we walked back over to the rest of the group.
"Okay then we have 20 minutes left so I guess we have to do that game thingy then.", I said to my group which made them all cheer a little. I laughed and then looked back over to Phil who was also chanting. "Nice, what are the groups?"
"We will do team A Foden, y/n, Saka, Mount and team B Grealish, Rice, Sancho and me", Stones said and we all agreed. "Goalies, pick which team you want to be on.", Stones said to the two goalies and they picked their teams before we got into position and began playing. I wasn't much help for my team, I avoided the ball and most of the time ended up on the opposite side of the pitch from the ball.
We were almost at the end of the match and I was on the complete other side of the pitch from the ball, watching my team and the other team play. I got bored but still didn't want to join in the match so began singing some Nicki for entertainment (stan queen Nicki, what a woman).
(Skip to 2:25 to get the right part of the rap)

I was like really rapping the verse, getting into it. It was the only source of entertainment that I had, "Make his dick get hard soon as I brush up, but we tryna be subtle. Whole city go up, when a bitch touch down like them ......... in a huddle. Sex game still cold it's on igloo. Head game slicker that miss little gorilla glue. He tryna eat it up, I said Come and get it, boo-"
"Your meant to be playing football with your team, not rapping y/n.", Jack said with Phil stood next to him.
"I wasn't even rapping."
"Well then what was that?", Phil said.
"Okay yeah it was rapping but it's Nicki Minaj and you can never say no Nicki so yeah."
"Right and what happened to football?", Jack said.
"Well I'm more of a like cheerleader than a footballer."
"That wasn't cheerleading, you would get kicked out of the stadium if you started cheerleading to that song."
"Okay, I got bored and I was not about to get involved in all that so I decided to entertain myself."
"You should go on x-factor.", Phil joked.
"Haha, would love to except I'm too good for it and would just show up all of the other contestants.", I said back, obviously being sarcastic. Training had ended and Phil gave me a lift to his house to spend the night there before training again tomorrow.
