I wake up to the comforting smell of pancakes and a big smile appears on my face as I remember where I am.

The shower is calling me and I roll out of bed to have one and freshen up. I can't be caught lacking in the hygiene department, especially now I am living with Kylian Mbappe.

As I get out I realise that I haven't got my hair dryer so I cannot blow dry my hair. so I just shove it up into a neat bun. I study myself in the mirror on top of the white desk which I below the big windows on the top wall opposite the door.

The bruise is looking less angry today however still incredibly noticeable, and I doubt Poch will let me work from the office as Mya, the new girl who I am yet to meet, isn't in today. This means Jacques will probably require my help out on the field.

I head downstairs after getting dressed into my usual PSG official tracksuit, and as I go into the kitchen I see Kylian and Sam sat at the counters. Sam is tucking into pancakes and as if on cue my stomach grumbles heavily.

The pair look at me in surprise and I hold my stomach with both hands giving them a sheepish look. "My bad." I bite my lip and Kylian chuckles.

"Come on, I will make you some pancakes. Have a seat with your brother and I will serve them to you after I have cooked them." He pulls out a high stool for me to sit upon next to Sam before clanging about in the kitchen to make me some pancakes.

I yawn as I sit down and Sam finishes off his breakfast with a grin. "You going anywhere today?" I ask him.

"Wasn't intending on it." My brother shakes his head and I nod.

"You can come to the academy with me and Kylian then, don't want to be leaving you here on your own all day." I ruffle his hair causing him to smack my arm.

I raise my eyebrows at him whilst rubbing the area where I just got attacked gently.

A plate off hot pancakes is put in front of me and I beam at Kylian. "Thank you so much."

He nods at me and begins to tidy the stuff away. "Hot drink anyone? I have tea, coffee, even hot chocolate?" The man asks and I shake my head.

"No thank you." Me and Sam both say and Kylian pours a coffee for himself.

My life feels complete at the moment, just being here eating breakfast with San and this footballer makes me feel like nothing else matters. That this is what life is supposed to be for me.

We arrive at the academy on time and my heart is beating in my chest, knowing that I am going to get some looks from the squad.

I am met with the reception lady and she gives me a sad smile, the same that I got from Pochettino yesterday. Kylian puts his arm around me and Sam skips in front. "Just keep your head up, yeah? You have nothing to be ashamed of, the cunt that did this to you has."

My heart flutters as his lips quickly press against the side of my head comfortingly and I bite my lip nodding unable to get my words out.

He takes me to my office before he says his goodbyes so he can go to the changing rooms to get ready for training properly.

"Hello, Sam and Olivia." Jacques greets us cheerily and gives my brother a high five. He looks tired however his blue eyes sparkle with happiness.

"Morning." I yawn and my co-worker smiles at me.

"You ready for today, we are going to start with outdoor training on the pitches, just something light so we don't get any injuries ahead of the re-start of the season." Jacques clutches a clipboard to his chest like a secretary awaiting to take someone to their next meeting.

The corners of my lips pull upwards. "Yeah, I am ready." I swallow the lump in my throat and the middle-aged man beckons me and Sam to follow him to the supply cupboards.

Today we get a lot of equipment and it is a real pain to carry. Little hurdles, cones, small pop up goals, and a load of balls. I believe that we will be doing many skill drills, probably working on agility judging by the cones and the little hurdles.

I am not looking forward to going out there and facing the squad.

Hi peeps,

Apologies, I know this is a shorter chapter than usual but I promise that Sunday will have an extra long chapter (or I will try to anyway).

Hope you enjoyed it though,
