Friends? / A Romeo Beckham Fanfic

chapter 4

"Ooh! Mum, we're here!" I shout. I look outside the window, pressing my hands to the glass. The Beckham mansion was breathtaking. The mansion was a few storeys high and very wide, and was a nice, auburn colour. The grass was short and well kept. There was a stone statue of a naked woman in the middle of a fountain, in which the sparkling, clear water tumbled down the edges. Thiago noticed my expression and laughed.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"He asked me. I nodded wildly, causing him to laugh again.

He got out of the car and opened the door for us.

"I will come back and collect both of your suitcases later."

He walked up to the tall, black gates and to the side was a speaking machine. The button was half a soccer ball. Thiago pressed on it softly and after a few seconds, we heard a crackling sound.

"Hello, this is David Beckham speaking."

"Oh David, its Thiago, guess who's here? The new girl Jayde that has been picked out for Burberry!"

"Oh okay then! Come in Thiago!"

The gate was automatic and opened slowly to allow us in. It felt exciting and awkward at the same time, since I was walking on the same turf as David Beckham. Thiago led us on the stone path to the door of the mansion. Damn, it was huge. We walked up a flight of stairs before reaching the door.

Thiago pressed on the doorbell with his index finger. We waited about twenty seconds before we heard a "coming!" in a woman's voice.

The door creaked open and out came a lady in her mid-50s.

"Oh Thi! Hello! Has David asked you to pick him up for a special event or something?" she asked Thiago in a puffed out voice.

"Oh no Marie, I just need to introduce David to these two. Could you get him for me?"

Marie gave a small nod and ran up the stairs.

"David! Thiago's here! He has some special visitors!"

"I'm coming down in a sec!" I felt excitement when I heard his voice, even though it was really faint. His accent is indescribably amazing. Seconds later, I heard clambering coming down from the stairs. And then I saw his face. Oh my goodness. Fangirling alert.

"Oh hello! You must be Jayde Kingfisher! Nice to meet you!" David shook my hand and held it in his steady, warm hands. " And you must be her mother?" my mum smiled and David kissed her on the cheek.

"Jayde is a big fan of yours," my mum says, obviously excited.

"I can see," David laughs, as he looks down at my Paris Saint-Germain shirt. "Who's your all-time favourite player? Me?" he laughs again.

"No. Probably Pelé," I say. He just frowns jokingly, then laughs.

"Do you play soccer?"

"Yes. I play striker in my team and I'm an Australian representative player."

"Well, you must be really good. And by the way I love your accent."I thank him, then blush. "I should get you to meet the rest of the family."

He shouts out to Victoria, Cruz, Brooklyn and Romeo.

It takes a few minutes for them all to come down. Victoria came down with a smiling Harper, Cruz and Brooklyn came down in jeans and a plain shirt and Romeo wearing an LA Galaxy soccer kit with his dad's name on the back. How sweet.

"So guys, this is Jayde. She's 15 and from Australia. She's going to be modelling with Romeo at Burberry and I've heard that she's a really good soccer player," David winks at me. Victoria hugs me and smiles, with Harper in her arms. Wow, haven't seen her smile in a long time.

"Hello Jayde. Nice to meet you. You seem like a very big soccer fan." I nod. Victoria's smile is really pretty. Why doesn't she smile more often? "Who's your favourite team?"

"FC Barcelona. They are the best."

"Heck yeah! Barcelona's beast!" Cruz punches his fist and the air, then walks up to greet me.

" Hi Jayde. I'm Cruz. And yes, Barcelona's the best!" He slaps my hand then shakes it. " We should play soccer together sometime." I laugh and agree.

Brooklyn then comes up to greet me.

"Welcome to the Beckham mansion, a place full of mad and crazy people." He shakes my hand softly and smiles.

" How about you Romeo?" David asks him. Romeo slowly walks up to me and smiles. Still don't find him attractive at all.

" Hi. I'm Romeo, and it's nice to meet you Jayde." He gives my hand a small shake and walks back to Brooklyn. There was an awkward silence, but David being the great one, then broke it.

"Jayde and Kylee, I'll show you to your bedrooms."
