-',beans would never.
kai tried to contain her laughter as she pressed her palm against her mouth, her stomach aching with the words her teammate kept adding.
walking with her was her favourite player, at the moment, was Jesse Lingard as he swung his arm lazily over her shoulder.
they wandered around the tunnel of old trafford after the first game of the season , 3-2 to manchester united seemed like a good start in kai's eyes, because she assisted bruno's goal, scored a goal of her own and they got a late 89th mintue goal from marcus.
"KL i'm serious here! I'm telling you apple juice is way better than orange juice." 𝙅𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙙 voiced his thoughts which resulted with a scoff to pass from the forward's lips.
"and to think i thought you were normal." sarcasm laced with kai's voice as she rolled her tan eyes.
as they continued to walk through the tunnel, they occasionally stopped to look at the multiple pictures that littered the walls, they laughed when they saw one with jesse on marcus' back as they celebrated a stunner.
"so mars, i heard that you hung out with my boy sanch the other day, what's with that?" jesse asked, his hand going to ruffle her loose curls, a sharp smirk on his face.
kai swatted his hand away, a timid smile growing on her face with the mention of her english teammate. "all he did was invite me to his house jess, nothing big at all." she shrugged, fixing her afro hair under the hairband.
"oh and what did you guys do after?" he asked with a smirk on his face.
"jesse if you want me to get marcus for you i will, you know how much he prefers me over you." kai sighed, wanting nothing more than to drop this conversation with her teammate as she detangled herself from him and began to walk away for the man.
he denied with his head 'no', disagreeing with the italian woman. "beans would never betray me like that," he said, a hand going to his heart as if he was offended.
"which marcus are we talking about? because right now i'm speaking about the one i betted will score a goal before you and he did that," she smiled proudly.
"nah i'm not having that mate, i refuse to get told off by a woman whose scared of the dark," he retorted, mirroring kai's facial expressions.
he watched as her face dropped and was soon replaced by a pout. " this is why i would rather hang out with jadon, he would've never used that against me." she spoke softly, her arms crossing over her chest. her face trying to fight off a smile.
"never use what against you?"
she jumped, a hand going to her chest in pure fright as she turned around to face to owner of the voice. there stood the boy she hung out last night with, 𝙅𝙖𝙙𝙤𝙣 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙤.
he came out of one of the side rooms, a gatorade bottle in his hand while he swapped his boots for sliders.
"sanch man don't do that, poor KL almost had a heart attack," jesse pointed out.
he squirted some water into his mouth , mumbling a quick 'sorry' , his eyebrows furrowed as he asked again, "never use what?"
kai's eyes widened, she didn't want him hearing the 'this is why i prefer jadon over you' part especially when his ego was that big but she simply didn't need him to hear that she would rather be around him.
after all she only met him a few months ago and was already addicted to his presence.
"that lil' ky ky here is afriad of the dark." she cringed at the nickname jesse had gotten accustomed to calling her, he simply was unbelieveable.
a raspy laugh escaped his mouth, a smile breaking his face as he glanced at kai's face, which she was trying to hide her embarassed face in jesse's shoulder.
"you're afraid of the dark KL?" he tried to cover his laugh with a lame cough but to no use, he saw the stern glance kai gave him when she lifted her head and immediately dropped the question.
"anyways, i'm sorry to interupt this thingy, but it's late and i think we should leave," the older man glanced between the pair, taking his place by stepping away slowly from kai.
"yea we're leaving in a bit, but you can go ahead, i wanted to ask kai something," jadon spoke as he took slow strides towards her before wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
kai looked at jesse with 'help me eyes' , jesse simply shrugged as he made his way over to them and bid them fairwell.
kai's mind still wandered to all different places, what was he going to ask her that had to make her wait?
her gaze found their interwined fingers which rested comfortably on the curly head girls' right shoulder, she smiled at the gesture.
after lingard made his way out, kai said, "i need to shower so wait for me outside?" she turned her face to look at him, the close contact making her shiver as she faced him.
jadon nodded and he put on a smile that showcased his pearly whites, "yea i'll be waiting for you."
