PART 8

You had just arrived at home, feeling really tired from the whole running you did earlier that day.
You noticed a difference between Real Madrid and Arsenal.
You felt way more tired after training at Arsenal than at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid takes training really serious, but only for big competitions like the UCL.
For Arsenal, everything is a big competition. Especially knowing that they're on the 2nd place in the Premier League.

"Hi darling, how is it in England? Have you already met with the squad?" -mom

"Yes mom, I have. They're all really nice to me and we had lots of fun during training today." -you

"I'm glad they treat you well.
Might as well find a boyfriend there."
-mom

"Ugh you always do this mom. You need to understand that if a guy is being nice to you, it doesn't mean that he likes you." -you

"Yeah yeah, but that Xhaka friend of yours is being a bit too nice to you.
Atleast he's respectful and a nice man." -mom

"Alright mom, I've still got some work to do. Say hi to dad for me." -you

"Will do sweetie, we love you a lot <3"
-mom

"I love you too <3" -you

Your mom always cared for you, but she could always be a little bit annoying when it came to dating.

You started to clean around the house a little bit while listening to some music. Until the music was interrupted by a phone call.

"Hi Y/N, how are you?"

"I'm great, Gavi. How are you?"

"So am I. I already miss you being in Spain. I don't have anyone who wants to hang out with me besides Pedri."

"Oh come on, it can't be that bad."

You two talked for some time while you cleaned.

"Y/N, I think I need to tell you something"

"Oh no" you thought.

"Alright, go on" you answered.

"I really like you. You've always been a good friend of mine and you've always cared for me. Although we played for rival teams we still got along really well and you never hurt me. I really hope you feel the same for me, but it's alright if you don't."

You were really shocked and didn't know what to say. Gavi was indeed a good guy and he was always nice to you. He was just 4 years younger than you but that shouldn't be a problem.
But your heart was stolen by someone else, not Gavi.

"Umm, I'm really sorry Gavi but I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do.
I don't think a distanced relationship would work and I don't want to get my heart broken. You're a really nice guy, but I think we should be just friends until we see how good we get along away from eachother."

You tried not to hurt him, because you didn't want that. He was a good friend of yours and you didn't want to lose him.

"I understand. I need to leave now.
Have a nice day." He said before he hung up.

It all felt wrong to you. Maybe you should've said that you felt the same. Maybe the guy you like, doesn't like you back.

"Hey, when do you want to go out? :)"
-Xhaka

"Does 7 p.m. sound good?" -you

"Yes, let's meet at the **** bar on the **** street." -Xhaka

"Great, see you then :)" -you

You totally forgot that Xhaka wanted to go out with you.
Luckily, it was only 3 p.m. so you still had lots of time to get ready.
Since you were already finished with cleaning, you decided to take a little break, so you went on Insta and watched some tik toks.
Seeing people make edits of you made you feel really happy. You loved every single second of those videos.

It was 6:30 p.m., so you decided to get ready. You put on some warm clothes because of the freezing cold weather outside.

You arrived at the bar a bit earlier, so you just waited for Xhaka to arrive.

"Hey, I'm here!" Xhaka shouted.

He hugged you before going inside the bar.

You two got some drinks and sat down to chat.

"So, how do you like it here in England?" he asked.

"I love it, just didn't expect the weather to be this cold."

You talked for quite a long time, until you both decided that it would be a great idea to go for a walk.

"So about earlier today. What was with the look on your face when I told the guys that they don't need to look away while I change? Jealous?" you asked him, laughing.

"Maybe" Xhaka answered with a serious voice.

"Look, here's my favourite restaurant. I always eat here when I don't feel like cooking." he said, changing the subject.

It seemed kind of suspicious to you, like as if he would be hiding something from you. But you didn't want to continue talking about that. You didn't feel ready enough to tell him how you feel yet.

You tried to forget about what happened, but the thought of it was still bothering you.

It already got really late so you needed to go home and get some rest for the next day. Xhaka then offered to walk you home, and you accepted.

"It was a great night, we should do this again sometime." you said smiling to him.

"Indeed." he answered smiling back to you.

"I need to tell you something..." you said.

"Um, tell me." Xhaka said, a bit unsure.

"I-"

"Hey guys, what are you two doing here?"
Odegaard interrupted you.

"Not much, we were just hanging out." Xhaka answered.

"Alright then, have a great night!"
Odegaard said as he was leaving.

"So, what did you want to tell me?"

"It doesn't matter anymore, I forgot what I wanted to say." you told him.

"Alright. If you do remember, don't hesitate to tell me."

"Sure, I will..."

He then hugged you before he left aswell. "Good night"

"Good night"

You then went inside and poured yourself some juice.
You knew that you liked him, but you didn't want to embarrass yourself.

As you wanted to go to sleep you heard a notification sound.

"I like you too" -Xhaka
