Las Estrellas (Alexia Putellas x OC)

Smiling Mess

Alexia's POV

"Just give me a second, I want to see this." Jennifer says to Jorge before we go back to the locker room.

"What's up?" Our coach looks at the free kick zone.

"Worldie is going to strike again." Jennifer smirks.

"On my whistle." We hear Montse say to Victoria.

Victoria starts her run and hits the ball like nothing I've ever seen before, the ball flies towards Sandra who seems about to stop it when the ball changes its course suddenly.

"Holy shit." Jorge whispers.

"Told you." Jennifer smirks like a proud mom.

"And this is why we call that little gem, Worldie." Irene and Alba celebrates with Victoria.

"She is good." I whisper almost for myself.

"Close your mouth, we have to go." Jennifer nudges me in the rib, and I hit her shoulder.

"I hate you." I growl.

"It's funny to see you like this." My best friend teases me. "My favorite part was the blindfold moment; you've enjoyed yourself way too much."

"What are you? A super spy?" I roll my eyes.

"Oh, angry Alexia, I love that one." She points at my face, and I can't help but laugh. "If it makes it any better, I think she might like you back."

"Why do you think that?"

"Apart from the blushing mess she was during your little moment, I've heard her talk with Leila." Jennifer informs me. "They were talking about someone Vic might like and who was being very distant with her."

"Still can be someone else." I shrug. "Someone in her club or in Valencia or her Dutch friend."

"I've asked her about that the other day." Jenni smirks. "And she said, no one in sight in Levante or in Valencia."

"That's a good point at least." I smile and Jennifer winks at me.

November 25th, 2021, Sevilla

We are doing some exercises in the hotel room reserved for our team. It's small games so we can physically wake up and get to trust and help each other a bit more. We first stretch up a bit and then, we start the games.

I'm not in Victoria's team as she stayed with Leila once again, and Jennifer is not doing the exercise because she has to see the physio this morning. I'm not really in the mood anyway but still I have to do it with my teammates.

The other team laughs a lot, and they are winning the games, Victoria is between Leila and Mariona, letting me have the perfect view on her. I can see she is getting along well with Mariona, Aitana, Patri, Sandra and all the Barcelona girls in general. This makes me smile.

"Alexia, stop smiling, we're losing." Esther comments with a chuckle and I frown immediately.

"Not smiling." I look down quickly.

My head quickly turns to the other team just to see Leila whispering in Victoria's ear once again. I really don't like that, at all. I focus back on my thing and at the end, I quickly go back to my room where Jenni is already here.

"Oh, god. What happened?" Jennifer asks with concern.

"I hate seeing them this close." I fall on my bed face first.

"Victoria and Leila, I see." Jenni sits on her bed and faces me. "Did you talk to Victoria?"

"No."
