I Only Care About You (Michael Carrick) -COMPLETED-

Chapter 9.

The lads had to go straight away to training and the girls were going with them to meet the players obviously. We would be going to the hotel to un-pack a bit later on and then going out for a meal.

‘’Just stay close to me yeah?’’ Michael said to me as we arrived at the amazing Santiago Bernabeu. I nodded and did as I was told.

We were ushered in through a large gate and then down the tunnel that the players come out of on match days the lead to the pitch. At the end of this tunnel was obviously the pitch but full of Real players training.

We all stood in a big clump at the side of the pitch when a whistle blew. All the Real players stopped and took a break. Sir Alex walked over to Jose and they shook hands and began to talk. The assistant manager told us to go sit in the away subs dug-out. We did as we were told but seeing as there were not enough seats, all the WAGS sat on their men’s laps. Me and Michael looked at each other before bursting out laughing. After we calmed down I stood up awkwardly, leant against a low brick wall.

‘’Welcome to the Santiago Bernabeu everyone, if you’d like to just talk amongst yourselves for a short while…’’ Jose Mourinho introduced us all and soon we were all talking with the Madrid players. I stayed sat down in the dug-out, Michael kept looking back to see if I was okay which I thought was sweet.

‘’Hola chica’’ a sweet Portuguese accent spoke softly. I knew who it was immediately, there was only one person who could talk like that. Cristiano Ronaldo.

‘’and you are?’’ he asked

‘’I’m Alice, Michael’s friend’’ I introduced myself to him, his brown eyes staring into mine

‘’Cristiano’’ we shook hands. His hands we warm and soft. ‘’Why are you sat by yourself? Surely you would want to meet some of us, we don’t bit you know’’ he smiled his award winning smile.

‘’Of course I do, it’s just I kind of get nervous when I meet new people’’ I said awkwardly

‘’Don’t worry about it, we’re all really nice here, I can introduce you if you like?’’.

I nodded, ‘’that’d be nice’’. He smiled and we both stood up. I felt him place his hand on the small of my back as we went over to some of his teammates who were stood talking to each other, no United players insight.

‘’Iker, Karim,  Angel, this is Alice’’ he said to them all. I felt my cheeks heat up when they all started to look at me.

‘’Pleasure to meet you, I’m Iker’’ I’m guessing to goalkeeper since he was wearing gloves, shook my hand.

‘’Karim’’ the second guy shook my hand and winked at me

‘’I’m Angel, and you are beautiful’’ he took my hand and softly kissed it, causing me to turn the colour of a tomato and bite my lip.

We spoke amongst ourselves for a while. Cristiano’s hand never left my back. Soon enough, Michael came over to us.

‘’alright?’’ he said, standing next to me. Cristiano quickly removed his hand.

‘’yeah, Cristiano was just introducing me to his teammates, they’re all really nice’’ I smiled at Michael who fake smiled back, I could tell because it didn’t reach his eyes.

‘’that’s great, although we’ve gotta go now to get ready for tonight’’ he cocked his head towards the group of red walking towards the gate.

‘’oh, alright. I guess I’ll see you around then guys’’ I smiled and waved at the Real players who all winked and waved at me and shouted ‘adios chica’. I blushed and bit my lip. I looked to Michael who was looking straight ahead. He didn’t seem happy.
