Alexia Putellas - Espressos and Assumptions

You were sitting at the Espresso bar in the hotel that the Spanish National Team were staying in for some friendlies with Mapi Leon, nursing a now cold coffee.
"You need to tell her how it is making you feel y/n." Mapi said poking your shoulder in jest.
You shook your head.
"I don't want to seem like I have a problem." You replied glumly swirling the dark liquid round in the white cup.
Mapi sighed folding her arms on the bar and resting her head on them.
"Not to point out the obvious but you do have a problem and yeah she isn't helping matters. I don't know why the rest of the team can't know it's been what a year now."
"Eleven months." You corrected her, your mood considerably downcast.
"Would you like a fresh one?" The barista asked smiling at you. You nodded and she quickly took your cup.
"I don't know how you can be with her but barely acknowledge each other in public, sounds more like a booty call to me." Mapi said lifting her head up and sitting back on the stool.
"Yeah thanks Mapi!" You glared at your friend. She put her hands up apologetically.
"I just mean I want to spend all my time with Ingrid and not just in the bedroom." She explained.
You continued to glare at her.
"That doesn't make it better Mapi, besides, Alexia would rather spend time with Jenni and the others." You reasoned defending the absent woman.
"Hola." Andrea Pereira shouted happily trying to jump on to the stool next to you but failing, she used the foot rests to climb on and smiled triumphantly at you at and Mapi.
You laughed, Andrea never failed to amuse you. Mapi chuckled softly beside you.
"That's right laugh it up you giant." Andrea laughed shoving your shoulder.
The barista returned with your fresh espresso, as she placed it down she made sure to brush her hand against yours.
"I'm a big fan by the way, I have a break soon if you would like to, you know, discuss tactics." She winked, slipping her handwritten telephone number onthe bar in front of you before turning and walking away, swaying her hips.
Mapi raised her eyebrows in shock whilst Andrea raised her arm waving her hand.
"Could she not see me?" She asked frantically. "Didn't even take my order." She grumbled. You laughed again at your friend, picking up the number you handed it to her.
"Here, maybe call it through." You picked up your espresso and excused yourself from your friends, heading outside to the small hotel garden.

Andrea finally got her coffee, albeit from a different barista and together with Mapi walked back to the breakfast room the rest of the team were in.
"Hoy Andrea where's our coffee?" Leila laughed from where she sat with Alexia and Jenni.
"This coffee is sacred I had to wait ages, whilst y/n got served not only coffee but the baristas number!" Andrea exclaimed as she sat down not noticing the look that came over Alexia's face.
Mapi smirked at her friend.
"Well she's single so why not?" Mapi answered earning a glare from Alexia who knew that the blond was well aware of the relationship. Jenni who also knew tensed from where she sat next to the Barca Captain.
"Go on y/n!" Leila cheered earning a laugh from Ingrid who had come over to sit with her girlfriend Mapi.
"What's y/n done now?" She asked leaning over to peck Mapi on the lips.
"She's going to meet up with the barista of the coffee bar on her break." Andrea answered inspecting a croissant closely before trying to fit the entire thing in her mouth.
At this, Alexia stood up abruptly from her chair, her knees hitting the table causing the cutlery to clang.
"Excuse me." She said before storming towards the Espresso bar.
"She must really want some coffee." Andrea said amongst a mouthful of croissant.
Jenni looked at Mapi who simply shrugged her shoulders, Jenni being Alexia's best friend also knew about the relationship and stood up to quickly follow her friend in case she did anything stupid.
Andrea watched her go, swallowing her food she sipped on her coffee.
"Jenni must really want some too." She mused.
Leila looked around bewildered.
"What just happened?" She asked looking directly at Mapi.
Mapi just shrugged her shoulders again, Leila stood up and chased after Jenni, Ingrid slapped Mali's shoulder who groaned and stood up preparing to defend you if needed. They followed Leila out.
"Well it is good coffee." Andrea said to herself as she continued her breakfast.

Alexia had asked a passing barista where they usually took their breaks, perplexed they had simply pointed to an exit that led to the side of the building.
She rushed out and found who she assumed was the barista that had flirted with you and stormed up to her.
"Where y/n?"
The barista took an step back shocked at the angry woman approaching her.
"I don't know, I asked her to meet me but she hasn't turned up." She replied.
Alexia turned abruptly seeing her teammates behind her she stormed back into the hotel and passed the espresso bar where she saw you through the glass windows sitting in the garden with your eyes closed.

A shadow cast itself over you as you were enjoying the morning sun. Opening your eyes you saw Alexia with a furious look on her face.
"The barista gave you her number." Was all she said. You frowned seeing your team mates huddled behind the furious woman, Mapi mouthed an apology to you.
You stood up, Alexia didn't move back so you were now practically nose to nose.
"I didn't take it." You responded calmly.
"Good!" Alexia grasped the back of your neck.
"Because you're mine." She finished before pulling you in for an aggressive kiss.
Behind her your team mates, apart from Mapi and Jenni stood staring in shock.
You broke the kiss, staring at Alexia.
"Everyone will know." You whispered not quite believing Alexia had outed you both.
"Let them know." Alexia smiled stroking the side of your face.
"I love you y/n and I want everyone to know that you are mine and I am yours." She said softly, you could hear Leila awwing in the background.
"So all I had to do is make you jealous?" You asked teasingly. Alexia frowned slightly and shook her head.
"No please don't do that." She pouted and kissed you again.
The back door slammed open revealing Andrea with yet another coffee and croissant.
"Did you guys get your coffee?" She asked munching on the French delicacy.
"I mean the service isn't great but it's worth the wait." She sipped her drink. Leila shook her head in disbelief.
"I can see now she genuinely didn't realise what she was telling me did she." Alexia laughed at the smaller Spaniard juggling her food with her cup.
You laughed pulling Alexia in for a hug.
"I love you too Ale." You whispered in her ear.
