PART 3

As you were walking out with your stuff, you noticed someone was standing in the dark and they seemed to be waiting for you.
"I was waiting for you." said someone with a very familiar voice.
"Who are you?" you asked them.

It was your best friend.

"What was wrong with you tonight? Did I do something or why were you so mad at me? After the first half everything changed. You didn't want to pass to me, you didn't talk to me, you didn't even look at me! Why?" you asked him.

"I've had enough of all this sh*t. You're always better than me. You're always praised for all the work and good performances, but me?! I don't ever get noticed by our manager. I don't ever get my time to shine. Without me, we wouldn't even have scored those goals." He answered.

"Alright, I understand. But that's not a good reason to be mad at me. I don't want to always be in the spotlight. Do you know how stressful it is?"

Right after you said that, he got mad and prepared his fist to hit you, but someone stopped him from doing so.

It was Xhaka.

"Leave her alone."

He then let your friend's arm go and pushed him away from you.
He seemed to be really worried about you.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, I guess I'm alright." you responded.

"I heard everything. Even what you said in the changing room.
What do you think about going out for dinner and relax a little bit?"

You agreed, and told him that you needed to go back to your hotel room first. He suggested that he texts you where to meet, and you both agreed.

You finally arrived at the hotel and threw your stuff in the corner of your room. You took a bath, since you didn't get the chance to shower after the game. That bath really helped you calm down. You started to regret joining the national team.

Then, you heard a sound.
It was just your phone.

"Ready for dinner? :)"
You finally got the message you were waiting for.

"Almost :)"
"Where are we going?"

"The adress is **** and the name of the restaurant is ****. I'll wait for you outside."

You then started searching for an outfit, not sure what to wear.
You then put on a kind of fancy, but not too fancy outfit, put some makeup on and left.

While you were looking at the phone after Xhaka texted you, you noticed that your family had texted you. But you didn't read their messages. You needed a break from everything, so you just ignored everyone, except for him.

"Hey, you're here! Come on in, I'm literally about to starve!" Xhaka said while waving to you. Before going inside, he quickly gave you a hug. Your face turned as red as a tomato.
"Does he really care about me?" you thought to yourself, not sure if you should trust him or not.

You two then sat down and started to chat a little bit.

"I didn't get your name yet, would you mind telling me?" he said while lightly smiling to you.

"Oh, right. My name is Y/N. Should I call you Granit, or is Xhaka okay? you asked him.

"Everything is good for me, as long as it's the right name"

His smile and his way of talking to you was the only thing you were thinking about at that moment.
You were slowly catching feelings for him, but you still weren't sure if you should trust him.
The two of you talked for hours, about your career, your private life, love life and stuff you like.
After a few drinks you started to notice that he was slowly getting drunk, so you decided to stop drinking and suggested that you go home.

He then paid the bill and walked you to the hotel. During the walk you started to talk about the game you had earlier.

"They don't deserve to have a player like you on their team. You have a lot of potential, and I know for sure you'll get on the same level as all the legends one day." Xhaka said.

You never heard so many compliments coming from another player. You used to be scared of him, but after going out to dinner with him you realized how nice of a guy he is.

"By the way, when are you leaving?"
he asked you.

"Most probably tomorrow. I sincerely can't wait to get back to Spain. Atleast I won't be as stressed as I am now."

"What do you think about going out for a coffee before you leave?" he asked you, with a little smile on his face.

"Sure, I'd love to" you answered with a smile on your face.

You two arrived at the hotel. so you hugged eachother before he would leave and you'd go back to the hotel room. He then quickly gave you a kiss on the cheek and said "Good night,
Y/N"

"Good night, Xhaka."

You then went right to the hotel room and changed. You were trying to go to sleep, but you couldn't. The only thing you were thinking about was him. The thought of his smile and his voice wouldn't leave you alone, so you decided to text him.

"Hey, did you get back safe?" you texted him, thinking that he wouldn't answer.

"Yes, I'm fine, as long as you're okay :)" - Xhaka

You texted for about 2 hours, until you finally decided to go to sleep.

"Good night ;)" - Xhaka
