Decisions - A World Cup Wish

Chapter 6

Adrianna woke up with her head and her stomach burning. She felt too hot underneath the sheets and the thick comforter on her bed. She turned around and turned on her phone to look at the time. 2:47 am.

shit

The burning sensation got worse as Adrianna got out of bed, careful not to wake up Jude. She paused for a second while he grunted and rolled over before rushing to the bathroom as quietly as she could.

She almost fell because of how much her head was spinning, but luckily she made it to the toilet in time before throwing up again. She just sat there, her head pounding, before getting up again. She brushed her teeth and then drank two full glasses of water.

She walked back into the bedroom. Still feeling hot, she took off her shirt, leaving herself in just boxer shorts and her bra. Jude had already had the same idea earlier in the night and was sleeping shirtless. Adrianna got back into bed and snuggled up against Jude. Even though he was asleep still, he wrapped his arms around her and brought her closer to him like a sleeping child with a teddy bear.

The two of them were pressed up against each other, their smooth skin warm against the other. Jude's hand was wrapped up in Adrianna's soft hair and she slowly fell back asleep in his warm embrace.

..............................

It was 5:45 when Adrianna was woken up. Jude was out of bed and on the phone again.

"Naw man, don't be a cunt about it," he said with his strong accent. See, when Adrianna called someone a cunt, it meant she was about to blow up on someone; Jude, however, appeared to be smiling as he called the person on the end of the phone a cunt.

He noticed that Adrianna was awake.

"Yeah, yeah... Alright, mate, I'll see you later. Yeah, bye." He hung up the phone before turning to her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. That was Haaland, I haven't talked to him in forever." He seemed really happy talking about his best friend and Adrianna smiled at his smile.

"Look, I've got to get going because I've got early practice today. I was gonna wake you up to say bye but I've really got to go."

"Oh, that's alright! I'll see you later, Bellingham," she grinned at him. He had already gotten dressed, wearing the pants that he was wearing from last night and his undershirt. He walked over to her, leaned over the bed, and kissed her forehead before walking out of her hotel room.

"Feel better," he said as he walked out of the room.

Adrianna laid down and fell asleep again after he left.

..............................

She woke up for the last time that day to her phone ringing. It was 9:00 am and when she looked to see who was calling, she shot straight up, feeling no fatigue left in her body.

"OMG, JENNA!" Adrianna practically yelled at her best friend.

"DRIA I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Jenna yelled back. Jenna Ortega and Adrianna had been best friends since they were on The Little Rascals Save the Day in 2014 together. Jenna played Mary Anne and Adrianna played Darla and the two of them had become inseparable since then. Even going in separate career paths after The Little Rascals, the two managed to always stick together.

"Bro, I've actually missed you so much. Like if you hadn't called for another day I would've died." Adrianna told Jenna.

"What? I thought you forgot about me," Jenna said playfully. "To be fair though, I would've forgotten about you if I was in your position... I'm just kidding, I'll always love you."
