zoe sat in the box seats with mason's brother, lewis, and mason's other best mate, nathan who practically lives at the couples house.
zoe felt the autumnal sun on her exposed bump but don't let that fool you, it's freezing and she took that mistake of not bringing a coat.
"are you cold zo?" nathan sarcastically commented, noticing her shivering.
"no shit woody, freezing my bump off." zoe said as lewis threw a hoodie at her.
"that's your boyfriends hoodie, he told me you would want it." lewis said, making zoe smile at how thoughtful her boyfriend is.
"she's gone all lovey dovey now, lewis look at her." nathan laughed which resulted in zoe slapping him.
"shut up." zoe said before nathan put his hands up in defeat.
a massive smile appeared on her face when she saw the boys ran out. she had missed the bridge so much even more than she misses mason when he has away matches and that's a lot. she picked up her phone and took a few pictures of the boys training. she could hear nathan and lewis laughing so she turned her head and a death glare went their when.
"she's gonna kill us." nathan said which zoe laughed.
"why were you laughing?" zoe said, putting her phone back into the hoodie pocket.
"you were zooming in on mason." lewis laughed and zoe just rolled her eyes.
she told mason before he left for the match that if he scores, he has to do a heart for a celebration but she isn't expecting him to do it if he scores because he often forgets.
----
the match started and only eight minutes in and mason had scored. zoe was happy for him but a hint of sadness hit her when he didn't do the celebration she asked him to do but she kept a smile on her face.
"that's what you call a mason goal." lewis said and everyone around them agreed.
the first half had come to an end with both calum hudson-odio and reece james both getting a ball into the back of the net. zoe felt happy for them but she was hoping mason could get another goal.
her thoughts at half time were proven right when chelsea got a penalty, mason took it and it swiftly went back into the net. she sent him a soft smile when she saw him looking for her.
with chelsea already being 6-0 up at the 90th minute with ben chilwell getting a goal and norwich scoring an own goal. everyone thought that that was all the goals done for the day.
not for mason.
in 90+1st minute of the game, he scored yet again. his first ever hattrick. zoe couldn't of been more proud of him and then when she saw mason point at her, doing a heart, she smiled even more.
he knew he was going to score more than one goal hence why he didn't do the celebration after the first two.
the final whistle blew and zoe was left alone. she had told both nathan and lewis that she would go and see mason and go home with him. so she just sat and watched the players walk around the pitch. she saw the ball with everyone's signatures on it which she immediately knew that that it was getting put somewhere in the house.
she sat in the seat until mason had sent a wonderful message which made her smile, telling her that he's about to do his interviews for smaller reporters. she made sure she had everything because she is often leaving her stuff.
with her pass, she went to where she saw mason stood on the pitch, doing some final interviews. wearing his backpack like his mother just sent him to school and his hair the way she likes it, no gel just fluffiness.
"so who was the lucky girl you did that heart to." zoe overheard the reporter say as mason did a slight laugh.
"just my mystery girl." mason responded, making zoe blush.
"so final question which many of your instagram followers want to know is do you have any type of relationship with zoe rice?" the reporter asked zoe's most hated question.
she didn't know why but she hated it so much. if there was something going on then they would of announced if they wanted to but she just wished some reporters avoid the question. she didn't even hear mason's answer because of her little daydream but she saw him walking over, with a bright smile on his handsome face.
"me and princess are very proud of you." zoe murmured into the footballer's chest, wrapping her arms around his torso.
mason placed his hands on her hips, lifting her chin up with hips index finger, forcing her to look at him. his plumped lips landed on hers. the feeling he wanted to feel all day but had to wait.
"did you miss my kisses?" zoe murmured into the kiss, feeling mason nod.
"was tempted to run off the pitch and go snog you when i saw you smiling after my goal." mason said causing zoe to giggle.
"let's go home." zoe said as she started to walk away but stopped when she noticed mason wasn't next to her.
"what? mase why are you filming me?" zoe said in embarrassment as mason walked to her.
"no reason." mason simply said, holding hands with the love of his life.
their hands fit perfectly together, just like a puzzle. they took their time to the car as they were in no rush to get back, knowing how bad the traffic was.

"what do you want for tea, starboy?" zoe said as the couple walked through the front door.
"hm, domino's?" mason suggested and zoe nodded.
she stood in the door way, with it wide open, ordering the domino's. mason laughs at how she can stop what she is doing to do one thing but she just left her.
"ordered." zoe said, continuing with what she was doing.
she went upstairs and saw mason stood there, boxers only, picking what to wear. she couldn't help but stare at how good-looking her boyfriend is. he caught her staring and just laughed. she walked over to her side of walk-in wardrobe and grabbed a sports bra and some joggers and then quickly got changed.
once changed, she slowly walked down stairs and into the living room/kitchen and gasped.
"OH MY GOD, THE PRAM IS HERE!" zoe squealed like a little kid on christmas.
"should we build it together?" he suggested and she nodded.
the couple had decided to go for a pram that they both loved and of course, it's dark blue for chelsea. when building it, zoe did hardly anything because mason would not let her.
"i love it." zoe said, once mason finished it.
"it's perfect." mason whispered, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"it's perfect like you." zoe whispered back and mason smiled.
mason always wondered how he got so lucky with her.
