querencia ✧ diego lainez

ocho

i received a call from diego shortly, answering it within seconds. "hey lainez, congratulations on the win."

"thanks y/n, did you see how good i was on that field? all because of you."

"duh, of course i did. but it was definitely due to how hard you practiced."

it's like i could hear him smiling through the phone even though that was impossible but you get what i mean.

"felicidades diego!" i heard my mom yell across the hallway.

it was crazy how good my moms hearing was.

"gracias!" i put the phone on speaker so my mom was able to hear his response.

we had to end the call eventually because diego had plans with the team to go out for dinner and celebrate their win together.

suddenly, i got a text from elena.

"hey y/n, have you seen the posts on social media?"

"umm i don't know if we're talking about the same ones but yeah"

"people are suspicious of you and diego..."

"they're just baseless rumors. there is nothing going on..."

after, elena sent me an attachment in her text message.

there was an article about it now?!

"no way.." i thought to myself.

i read through the article titled, "diego lainez girlfriend revealed?"

damn, these people worked fast.. not even a day had passed and there were already actual articles about it.

i knew diego had supporters and everything, but this situation was really bringing it into perspective.

i thought about letting diego know about this but i realized that he was out celebrating and he didn't need to worry right now.

three hours later.

"y/n, puedes ir a la tienda y comprar unas cosas que necesito para cocinar?"

i groaned loudly, being awoken from my nap due to my mom's loud yelling.

i got up from my (very) comfortable bed and went downstairs. i compiled a list of what my mom needed and shoved it in my back pocket before leaving.

luckily, the store wasn't too far and within walking distance. i felt grateful for the area that we lived in due to the amount of stores that were nearby.

i waved at people that i knew on the way and was completely distracted by my surroundings until i noticed a group of three people that were standing at a distance.

it was strange and i even panicked slightly but i was definitely overdoing it. i could easily just walk around them and get to where i was going.

i attempted to walk past the group of people and tried to avoid eye contact until i realized that they were simply waiting for... me.

"y/n, right? we just have a few questions about diego lainez and your association with him."

you have got to be kidding me. how did they even know my name?

i can't believe i was actually being confronted by reporters just because i decided to wear a shirt that diego gifted me. i was having a hard time wrapping my mind around what was happening at the moment.

"do you know diego lainez personally?" another reporter inquired.

i seriously didn't know what to say. if i said yes, i could make matters worse for myself. if i said no, people would get even more suspicious. obviously everyone would lie when it came to being in a situation like this.
