Imperfection

I noticed that I'm skipping to past tense all the time atm, so I'll just continue for now on. Also, please remember that this story is fiction and some things actually don't even make sense, but are needed for the story.

our life was rough so
let's make our days what we want

~•~

,,Your contract is ending soon, isn't it?", Jill asked. I turned my head to look at her, the expression on her face unreadable. After the funfair we had decided to get some food and then go into the nearest park. The weather was good, the sun was shining for the past days and the ground wasn't wet, so we just laid down in the green grass.

,,It does.", I mumbled, looking up into the sky again, but I could feel her gaze still resting on me, waiting for me to say more, but I didn't.

,,Do you know if you'll stay at Chelsea? Or where else you're going?", she pushed further and I sighed. I felt slightly uncomfortable when I thought about this topic, still. Guilt about leaving and not really knowing what to do made me feel lost. I wasn't sure if Jill was the right person to talk to, I only actually knew her since yesterday.

,,I won't stay here.", I started, ,,Not in England." There was a short silence as we just laid there, before i turned again to look at her. ,,But honestly I don't know where I'll go." I know I said that I didn't want to go to Wolfsburg, but I found out how wonderful the team was, when I saw them in Wembley. The way they handled each other, not only the players but also the staff and trainers, it was really nice. And now that I knew Jill...

,,I think you'd look great in green.", she stated, but I didn't answer. ,,Look Aurie, I really like you. And I know the others do too, we'd all love to have you at Wolfsburg. Plus you're a world class player and Wolfsburg is a world class club."

I watched Jill as she spoke. Her eyes were twinkling when she talked about the club, her freckles dancing as her face moved. She was so gorgeous. The feeling spreading in my body felt warm, like home and when I looked in her eyes that feeling only got stronger. I smiled at the blonde dutch laying besides me. And suddenly I felt like I knew where I wanted to go.

I closed the door behind me as I stepped inside our apartment. Watching Jill's car slowly drive away, I pulled off my trainers and jacket, the smile from before still plastered on my face. Wolfsburg felt right now, Pernille had a great time there and now that I got to know Jill I could only imagine how great my time there would be.

,,I'm home!", I shouted as I walked into the living area, P and Magda sitting on the couch together watching a movie. ,,Oeee Stitch!" Magda laughed at my reaction to the movie. The movie I've loved since i could remember watching movies. I sat down next to Pernille and rested my head on her shoulder, coconut immediately filling my senses, and with it, a feeling of home.

,,So, what were you two doing huh?", asked Magda and I chuckled, feeling P's fingers softly playing with my brown hair.

,,We went to a funfair and into a freefall tower! And after we went to a park and just ate food while laying in the grass.", I explained, a grin spreading out on my face when I felt Pernille's fingers stop at the mention of a freefall tower.

,,Sounds like fun tiny!", Magda smiles at me. ,,Did you think about a new club?", she asked and I nodded.

,,I think I'll go with Wolfsburg."

,,Oh really?", P asked, looking at me confused. ,,I thought you wanted to go to a little smaller club?"

,,Well yes," I started, ,,but now that I know some of the players and saw them all in the final... I don't know, it feels like the right place for me. And I know you enjoyed your time there a lot.", I said, looking at Pernille for the last sentence. They both had smiles on their faces as they looked at me and I seriously felt good. I was looking forward to this next step, to go to Wolfsburg, to wear green.

,,Got an idea!", Magda suddenly grinned. ,,McDonald's!!", she yelled through the house and jumped up on her feet, running over to the garderobe to get her shoes and jacket. I chuckled at her.

,,You're just too lazy to cook, idiot!", Pernille complained and just moments later Magda's head appeared from around the corner.

,,Do you want to do the cooking hun?", the Swede asked as she raised her eyebrow, but Pernille just chuckled, standing up and walking over to where her girlfriend was standing. She gave her a light peck on the lips, grinning.

,,Nope!", she laughed. ,,Let's go to McDonald's Aurelia!" I giggled at the two older women, asking myself when they would eventually get married. Because I for sure would never ever let them break up.

I quickly grabbed my laptop before running after them, sliding into the car's backseat. With a big smile still plastered on my face, I opened the laptop in front of me and went to my emails.

Good evening Rob,
I'd like to take the offer from Wolfsburg, could you email them please?

Byee

Never been good at emails to be honest, I giggled at myself, before closing the laptop again and grabbing my phone.

Aurelia: Guess you'll get to see me in green soon, as long as everything works out;)

Jill<3: You've got to be kidding me

Jill<3: Another German here aiai

Aurelia: *half German hun

I smiled at my phone, then looked up at the two women in front of me. I finally felt happy again, like I could breathe. I didn't know how much I had craved this feeling. And now the only thing I was craving were a burger and fries.

In that moment my phone started vibrating, a name appearing on the screen.

Emma Hayes is calling...
