Las Estrellas (Alexia Putellas x OC)

The Other Side

Alexia's POV

I'm at the training center we use in Hoffenheim, before the UCL game, waiting for Jennifer and I start to wonder if Victoria is ever going to answer my Twitter message.

I'm so glad she has been called up with La Roja, she is a hell of a player, and she has been absolutely amazing against us last week. I've been following her journey since our game against Lyon in the UCL Final in 2019. She was the best young player of the competition and I wanted her to come to Barcelona ever since.

When I heard she was going to play for Levante, I was happy and excited, which it is weird, like really weird and Jennifer teases me a lot about that.

Suddenly, my phone lights up. Twitter notification. Finally.

@victoriachamberlain: Thank you so much, can't wait to play with you, la reina. Be ready too, you'll have to endure me now.

I smile to myself and decide to wait before answering. I'm about to get ready for the training when Jenni enters the room.

"What's with the dumb smile, Putellas?" Jennifer smirks.

"Nothing." I roll my eyes at my best friend.

"So, nothing to do with our new addition to La Roja?" She wonders innocently.

"Might have something to do with her but shut up." I admit quickly putting my shoes on while she lets a small chuckle escape her lips. "I've congratulated her."

"Did she answer?" Jenni sits next to me curious, and I nod giving her my phone. "Wow, it starts well, she seems happy to talk to you."

"You think so?" I look down unsure.

"You're Alexia fucking Putellas, of course she is!" Jennifer side hugs. "Besides, if not, she is just a mad person."

"Thank you, you're the best." I lean on her, and she kisses my temple.

"Be careful with that heart of yours, sister." Jenni whispers.

"Always." I nod and we go to the training.

After our two hours training and relaxation, I come back to the locker room with Mariona and Patri, we are talking about a tactic we've been practicing on.

"Guys!" Mapi runs to us with her phone in hand. "You have to see this."

"What's up?" Mariona chuckles at our friend behavior.

"Levante has made a video about their game plan against us." Mapi explains. "That Victoria girl is really good at analyzing us, it could give keys to our future opponents!"

"No way." Patri follows Mapi to the video room and we go too.

I sit in silence wondering what could be in this video. Or maybe I'm just excited to see Victoria on the screen.

"Ready to see your girlfriend talking about you?" Jenni sits next to me.

"Not my girlfriend." I glare at her. "Did you see it?"

"Yes, she is good, like really good." She nods.

"Ready girls?" Mapi asks once we are all gathered.

Once she sees everyone is focused, she starts the video, 10 minutes where the Levante team and staff explain how they prepared for the game, how they analyzed everything, how they found out about our weaknesses.

"I think Victoria was the master of our game." Their coach says as we see Victoria playing during the game. "She could practically think alike the Barcelona girls. And it felt during the game, she was everywhere we needed her. Two goals, two assists, I can't say more."
