Chapter 14: Babysitters

James Rodriguez's Point of View:

I woke up this morning to the sound of babies crying. Next I heard a heavy sigh then a voice singing. The cries of a baby stopped, and I decided to check where the noise was coming from. I threw the heavy blanket off me, and walk towards the open door. I opened the guest room door to find Scarlet standing there in my Colombia jersey, sweatpants, and her hair in a messy bun. "Good morning Scarlet."

She shrieked and nearly dropped a kid, who I recognized as Toni Kroos' baby, Leon. "You do not do that to a person!" She said while putting Leon down, "Go get dressed we have practice in thirty minutes! Breakfast is downstairs." She pushed me out the door.

"Nice jersey by the way." I beamed at her.

"Leave me alone, loser." Scarlet stuck her tongue out at me.

"I would never." I closed the bathroom door to go take a shower.

After Practice

"And here's you kid." I handed Isco his child, who he named after himself, weirdo.

"Stop talking so loud, haven't you ever heard of using an inside voice? Gosh." Marcelo passed us by rubbing his head in the process.

"Whatever you hungover losers, I'm going home." I grabbed my keys from my locker.

Scarlet's Point of View:

"Sergio I need to talk to you." I grabbed his arm gently, and pulled him into the hallway. "Um, well, I don't really know how to ask this, but did you know I was adopted?"

"What! You're adopted! Since when! I was born before you, and I didn't even notice!" Sergio rambled.

"Apparently my birth parents died in a car crash, and they were friends with your parents, so they got me." I mumbled.

Sergio hugged me, "I'm sorry Scar." he kissed my forehead. "I'll buy you some ice cream, and we can have a brother sister day."

"That sounds really nice actually." I smiled hugging him back.

+++++++

"So Scarlet tell me about your night with James." He wiggled his eyebrows.

"You sicko! All we did was babysit the teams babies." I stirred my lemonade.

"But do you like him?" Sergio looked me in the eyes.

"Well I'm kind of torn." I took a sip, "For some incredibly odd reason I still manage to somehow like Marc, but I'm catching feelings for James too. Its complicated."

"Well Scarlet all I can say is that it all comes down to the person you think of at night. They have your heart." He put some cash down for the bill, and got up. "So, you're going to take a nap when I take you home, and you're going to tell me exactly who you thought about."

"Sergio I'll probably be thinking of penguins, or something, because you're making me think of someone." I opened the door.

"Well then you're going to write some music, have creativity. Like they say, music is the cheapest and simplest cure to life's problems." Sergio opened the door to his car.

When I got home I did exactly what Sergio said, I wrote for hours, and ended up with only one song I liked, I titled it, It Was Always You.

I went to bed, and without having a second thought about it, thought of James.

Authors Note;

This chapter was a filler, and I'm really sorry about that. The next chapter will be Athletic Club-Real Madrid. Thank you all for 900 reads!!! I couldn't find link that would work for It Was Always You, but if you really want to listen to it it's by Maroon 5. That's amazing! I don't have much else to say, so byeee!
