You were scrolling on your phone as a footballer interview comes up.
You stop and watch it as you took interest in football but not as much as you did before.

You continued watching then a familiar face pops up which causes your eyes to enlargen.

"So Richarlison we have heard of your news as you have recently signed to play for  PSG this season what was your reaction when you first found out you were offered this new contract?" The interview asked.

PSG? PARIS SAINT GERMAIN? meaning he was moving here to paris?

A few years after their break up Y/n moved out from London to Paris she had a new job and made plenty of new friends and colleagues.She focused on her career and wasn't interested in relationships or dating but now the news that her ex was moving to Paris made her heart drop.

"I speak english my friend " he said earning a few laughs. Then switching to a serious tone "however i will responded in Brazilian-Portuguese. I feel very ecstatic as many people know that playing for an amazing team like PSG along side many excellent players was one of my passions so I am very grateful to my fans and galtier and ever who has and will be supporting me and I hope to make good memories and become  a better player this season." He responded with confidence.

"That is great to hear and I'm sure your fans will be supporting you as you make this big move from the premier league to paris's team to work along side many famous footballers such as Kylian Mbappe, your friend and brazilian team mate Neymar Jr, Achraf Hakimi, and Thiago Silva." The interviewer added on with a smile.

Earning a genuine smile from Richarlison.
Seeing his face made me start to remember our last encounter causing me to click off the interview.

Brrr
My phone started to ring so I picked up.

"Hello?"
"Bonjour, it's Amanda from work the manager would like to have a chat with you when you come"

"Oh okay that's fine thank you"
"Good day y/n" then she hung up

I sighed as I plopped onto my bed what could he want to 'chat' about?

After me Richarlison broke up I had finished my uni degree and moved to Paris and started working as a physiotherapist working under PSG.
It was a well payed job that didn't require too much stress.
It has been 2 months since I had been working there and it has been interesting encounter all the different players and assessing their injuries.
Yet sometimes it had been an eye opener as to how passionate the players are when they are demanding that they are okay and they can still play even though they are badly hurt.

There is one player that I always get every time he plays.He requires a lot of attention.

"Neymar, you're starting to come here almost everyday now.Tell me the truth are you really always injured?"

" No I just wanted to come and see you" He smiled then winced at the pain from me putting the rubbing alcohol on his wound.

" Ow"
" I'm being serious" I said sternly
"Okay okay, the players on the opposite team and always harsh on me.It's not like I want to get injured all the time it's painful to experience ..." He confessed

"Oh, i'm sorry to hear that"

"But getting to see you is just a bonus" he grinned .

"Gosh. you're all done now shooo and try not get too hurt"

"Are you worried about me" he smirked.

"The team needs you that's why and I care about the well being of all my patients"

"Patient ? huh so that's what I am" he muttered to himself

"What did you say?"

"hm, nothing and thanks for looking after me.I'll be more careful now and not bother you" he said shooting me a friendly smile before leaving.

I cleared my throat and started to clean up.
"He's very fond of you" one of the workers remarked laughing.

I laughed back with her in my head cringing at the thought of her comment.

"Y/N" I heard my name being called.

"The manager wants to speak with you" a co-worker announced.

I rushed to the managers office and knocked on the door.

"Come in"
"Hello, you asked of me?"
"Ah yes, y/n right?"
I nodded back
"I have a small favour of course it will be a paid job it doesn't require much and I thought out of all the workers you would be the most suited for the role"

Galtier knew in his heart that it was a lie he didn't ask her to do the role because she was the 'most suited' it was because no one wanted to do the job because every was intimidated by the aura of Kylian Mbappé.
But poor Y/N had no clue what she was about to get herself into as she had only known Kylian from  his interviews.

"I would like to propose for you to be a personal physiotherapist for one of our top players, he just needs some regular house check ups and maybe some excerise routines that he can do to speed up his recover, I don't want to put a lot of pressure on you but you are our only hope" Galtier expressed.

I could feel the desperation in his request and it would be a good opportunity for my career and the money would be good so I did what any other sane person would do and accepted.

"Great I will inform him and let you know the details will you be able to visit him today?"

" Yes I can try" I said before leaving before I exited he continued

"And y/n thank you he might seem like a lot to handle at first but honestly he is a very good person he just needs to see that you are trust worthy and can do the job well"

With that his word stuck with me as I left.

As I was walking down the hall a tall figure stood in front of me causing me to hault.

"Hey bambi. it's been a while..." He spoke causing me to look up into his dark orbs.

His smirk causing shivers to run down my spine.
Looking at me like he was warning me that he will do whatever he can in his will to ruin my time here.
