Olivia's POV

My heart pounds as Kylian looks at me quickly from across the table before his eyes linger on Jack.

I look down at the table feeling empty inside as I know that Kylian is hurt.

Jacques and his wife eventually arrive, they are both a little late but no one seems to care. His wife sits herself down next to me and she smiles at me. "Hi." I smile back at her.

She is beautiful. Freckles decorates her nose and cheeks and she has hazel eyes with a touch of green near the pupil. She wears a deep pink lipstick and her brown and blond hair hangs in loose curls elegantly. Her dress is a forest green and tight, she looks amazing. "Hey, you must be Jacques new co-worker Olivia?" She looks about her mid thirties, same as her husband.

"Yes I am."

"Kathrine." The woman holds out a hand for me to shake.

"Nice to meet you." I shake her hand.

"You too. Oh I do love your necklace, where did you get it?" Katherine beams at me.

"Jack here got it for me." I put my hand on Jack's shoulder and he turns to Katherine nodding.

"I did, got it for her nineteenth birthday, picked it out for her because it matches her eyes."

"Oh that's lovely of you, it's beautiful."

"Thank you. I love your dress by the way."

"Awww, thank you, yours is gorgeous, you look stunning."

I can't help but smile even wider. I have a feeling that me and Katherine are going to be good friends.

"Shall we order our food?" Pochettino catches everyone's attention, and he is answered by yesses and nods.

A waiter comes over and we each order our starter. Our food arrives and we all tuck in. "So, Olivia, how long have you and Jack been together?" Katherine asks and out of the corner of my eye I notice Kylian's head turn in our direction.

"Three years in January." I tell her and I feel Jack's hand on my thigh.

I look at Kylian and he has a blank expression. My hand pushes Jack's hand from my thigh and finish off my food. "What do you do for a living, Jack?" To my surprise it's Kylian who speaks up and my boyfriend glances at me before answering.

"I work at the Volkswagen dealership downtown, you know sell cars." Jack answers and the footballer nods but when my boyfriend goes back to eating a slight smirk stretches across his cute face.

The evening goes on and I get to know everyone a lot better, I found out that Messi and Neymar used to hate each other due to being rivals once upon a time, but are good friends now that they know each other.

Each of us eat our main meals and have a nice time laughing and talking with each other. It hits half nine. "Right guys, I think it's time we go now, early start at half eight tomorrow, don't want you guys being too tired for your training." Pochettino and his wife stand up saying their goodbyes.

I say goodbye to everyone else too, but I see Kylian go off towards the toilets. "Jack, I just need to pop to the loo, I'll be out in five minutes."

"Okay, babe, I will wait outside for you." Jack kisses my cheek and I head to the toilets.

I wait outside for a couple of minutes, then he comes. I grab his arm as he goes to walk past me.

His brown eyes meet mine and I find myself unable to talk. He looks so handsome in his suit. It hugs his shoulders making him look broader and his face look sharper. Kylian gazes down at me. "It's okay, Liv, I know." He nods respectfully putting a gentle hand on my shoulder before he walks away from me.
