The Dinner
At seven pm sharp you knocked on the door.
As you lived just a five minute walk from the address Jenni had given you, you had arranged with Lieke to meet her there.
You heard muffled voices seemingly arguing the other side until the door wrenched open revealing a smiling Jenni with Alexia behind her staring at the floor.
"Y/n!" Jenni screamed dragging you into a hug.
"Look Alexia it's Y/n!" Jenni exclaimed loudly as if Alexia wasn't stood directly behind her and couldn't see you.
"Is this a Spanish thing, for everyone to come to the door to great visitors?" You laughed allowing yourself to be pulled into the apartment and for Jenni to hurriedly tug you out of your coat.
Jenni laughed, hanging your coat on a hook she took your arm guiding you into the lounge area where nibbles were neatly laid out on the coffee table.
"Am I the first one here?" You asked embarrassed.
"You have met the others right?" Jenni jested. "Leila for instance would be late for her own funeral."
You nodded in agreement feeling relieved and took Jenni's offer of a seat next to the large table window that took up the entire outer wall of the room.
"I'm going to go and check on dinner, you two should get to know one another."
You didn't fail to notice the glare Alexia gave Jenni as she quickly left the room. It made you feel very uncomfortable, clearly Alexia didn't want to be left alone with you. You turned your attention to the window, it was better to distract yourself as the discomfort quickly turned to hurt and anger. You wanted to know Alexia, there was just something about her that drew you in.
"So." Alexia finally said. Her voice was breathy as if she had been holding her breath until she spoke.
You quickly glanced at her before settling back on the view from the window.
"So." You responded.
This was awkward, you hoped your team mates would arrive soon.
"How are you finding Barcelona?" Alexia asked.
You continued looking out the window.
"It's a beautiful city and everyone's been very welcoming."
You then looked over to her.
"For the most part." You finished maintaining eye contact with her.
Alexia swallowed.
"I'm sorry y/n, you just make me nervous." She explained honestly.
You didn't have time to respond as Lieke rushed into the room throwing herself on to your lap, you saw an indescribable look pass over Alexia's features but paid no mind as you greeted your long time friend.
"Hey Ale." Lieke greeted the other woman in the room, getting off your lap she went to sit beside the Spaniard as more of your team mates begin to drift in.
You took the time to watch the two women interacting, the way Alexia used her hands as she spoke, how she focused her attention on Lieke as she listened to what she was saying. You looked over her outfit, the plunge of the top she was wearing that revealed the valley of her breasts. You realised, perhaps too late as Lieke had turned around to ask you something, that you had been staring at Alexia's breasts. Thankfully Jenni announced dinner was ready, you went to take a seat next to Lieke but Jenni beckoned you over to sit beside Alexia. She smiled as she pulled out a chair for you.
"Hey how comes we don't get this kind of treatment?" Leila asked as she finally joined you all for the evening not bothering to apologise for being late.
Jenni deftly pulled the tea towel from her shoulder and whipped the defenders backside with it causing her to cry out and the rest of you to laugh.
"Because you are more like a piece of the furniture you are here so often." Jenni joked gaining another laugh from the team.
Leila pretended to sulk and took the seat next to Lieke you had originally gone for.
Jenni sat at the head of the table, Alexia to her right, followed by you, Mapi and then Andrea. To the other side and to Jenni's left sat a woman you had been introduced to as Stella, Patri, Lieke and then of course Leila.
Jenni tapped her wine glass with a fork.
"Here's to new friendships, new relationships." She said winking at Alexia who glared at her.
"And to winning the next Champions League." She finished, the women around the table cheered and clapped.
You all dug in to your meals, you had to admit, Jenni could cook, you all gave her praise on the delicious meal she had prepared for you.
"So y/n, are you dating anyone?" Jenni asked bringing her wine glass to her lips.
You swallowed your food politely before reaching for your glass of water.
"No I am not."
This seemed to get the attention of everyone at the table.
"But you're hot." Leila said shocked earning an elbow from Lieke.
"What happened to Marozsán?" Mapi asked intrigued.
The table fell silent. Lieke cleared her throat.
"I think this is the best meal you've done Jenni." She complimented. Jenni smiled in appreciation.
"It really is babe, you've outdone yourself." The woman, Stella, told her stroking her forearm. You frowned slightly, you could have been sure she was with Alexia. Still this was none of your business you surmised turning your attention to Mapi who had tapped your hand on the table.
"I'm sorry y/n I hope I did not offend you." The blond apologised.
"Not at all." You smiled warmly at her.
Leila was inspecting a piece of broccoli on her fork.
"You're really hot though." She stated matter of factly biting into the vegetable. This earns her a frown from Mapi.
You couldn't work out who was dating who at this point, you looked over at Lieke who chuckled and shook her head as if telling you not to try to understand. You smiled and went back to eating your dinner.Somehow, despite you all being adults, someone had started a game of 'never have i ever'.
"Never have I ever, purposefully kicked the ball at the goalies face instead of trying to score." Lieke said in fits of laughter pointing at you.
The other looked at you in shock before laughing.
"Why would you do that?" Patri asked innocently.
You had started drinking wine following dinner. Now you all sat around the table, Jenni had brought out shot glasses. Thank goodness you had a day off the next day.
"She fucked my girlfriend." You said bluntly.
Jenni cheered you on whilst Leila face dropped in shock.
"Yes y/n! Well done!" She threw her arms up on the air.
Mapi looked at you, realising who the girlfriend had been immediately and noticed the sad look on your face.
"Her fucking loss y/nn." She said raising her glass to clink against yours.
"Wait who are we talking about?" Stella asked.
You put your glass down on the table in front of you.
"My ex cheated on me with a goalkeeper." You replied.
"And your ex is?"
"Marozsán! Keep up." Mapi gently scolded her laughing.
"Who's Marozsán?" Stella asked Jenni.
Jenni smiled sweetly at the woman.
"Lyon player." She explained.
Stella look around the table.
"So do all footballers just fuck one another?" She asked rather bluntly. The table fell silent in shock apart from Leila who joked.
"Only the hot ones." Throwing at wink at you.
"Really Leila I am right here." Mapi scolded her, Leila had the decency to stop trying to flirt with you.
Stella stood up abruptly from the table, she slapped Jenni across the face and stormed out of the dining room and in to the hallway.
Jenni simply uncrossed her legs and stood up.
"Excuse me ladies I need to go and do some damage control." She followed after Stella.
The rest of you sat in silence before Claudia spoke.
"I have never known Jenni to date someone so uptight."
The rest of you fell in to fits of giggles, the wine helping you find the situation much funnier.
"I honestly thought she was dating you." You whispered to Alexia who was much more reserved than the others.
"What? No Jenni and I are best friends, we dated for a little while a few years ago but we are so not suitable for one another." She smiled at you. For the first time you noticed the colour of her eyes and the way the light reflected off them.
"Plus that's why Jenni kept winking at Alexia like she had something in her eye when asking you if you were dating anyone." Claudia said quietly over the table to you.
The glare Alexia had given Jenni earlier was now directed at Claudia who continued undeterred.
"And why you were purposefully sat next to Ale. Honestly you just need to....."
"Claudia!" Alexia chastised before getting from the table and leaving the room.
"Ok what is going on up that end?" Andrea asked confused at the sudden departure.
Lieke looked at you concerned, you shrugged your shoulders in response.
"For fuck sake y/n go after her." She ordered, shaking her head exasperated.
"Wouldn't it be better if it was one of you I mean she barely knows me." You argued.
Patri, leant over the table to you.
"Look, you're obviously a dumbass so as these fuckers won't be direct I will. Alexia likes you, Claudia pretty much clued you in back there so now Ale is embarrassed." She explained ignoring the indignant 'hey' that came from Claudia.
Lieke enthusiastically gestured at the door to you.
