It's time. I said to myself after my alarm rang off this morning. Waking up to the warm morning sun in Barcelona was the happiest feeling ever. I stayed in bed thinking about how my life couldlook in a few hours. I'll be a Barcelona player.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by someone scratching the bedroom door. I slowly stood up letting my hair fall over my shoulders and opened the door to find Mapi's cat at the door. Immediately after I opened the door, she ran in, jumped on the bed, and put herself down. I chuckled softly at the black furry friend and picked an outfit for the contract signing.

When I was satisfied with my outfit I headed to the kitchen to make a coffee for me and Mapi

When I was satisfied with my outfit I headed to the kitchen to make a coffee for me and Mapi. To my surprise Mapi was already in the kitchen in Barcelona's training kit slowly sipping coffee.

„Buenos días." I said as she looked up and smiled at me. God her smile....

Buenos días bonita, did you sleep well?" She asked as she put her coffee down and walked up to me sliding her arms around my waist under the black coat.

I nodded enjoying her touch as she pulled me closer to her resting my head on her shoulder kissing the side of her next softly.

We stood there for a few minutes but then someone knocked on the door again, interrupting our moment. Mapi frowned andI laughed as she walkedtowards the door.

Meanwhile I sat down on the chair and enjoyed Mapi's coffee. Mapi came back a few seconds later with a black haired woman following closely behind. It was Leila Ouahabi which I knew already becausein one of our international games last year she slipped over my ankle breaking it into literally two pieces. I think she remembers what happened because as soon as she saw me she froze in a spot.

„Omg, I'm so sorry." She said and hugged me. God these people and touches...

Even though I was out for a few weeks, she always apologizes every time we see each other.

„Leila we talked about it, it's okay." I laughed as I hugged her back. I looked up to see Mapi's eyes as she stole back her coffee and finished it. I pouted as she smirked. As soon as Leila released me from a hug, she went to the kitchen and stole Mapi's half of the avocado sandwich.

„Really?" Mapi said as Leila laughed.

Suddenly she stopped: „Wait...How come you're here?" And by here I don't just mean Spain, but Mapi's apartment." She narrowed her eyes to us.

„Is there something I missed?" she asked.

Mapi replied, "Leila, you are missing a lot of things." Leila's mouth dropped open, then slowly closed.

„I guess I can tell you, we'll be teammates tomorrow." I said as she dropped the avocado sandwich onto the plate returning it back to Mapi and literally ran up to me again, almost crushing me in the process.

In response, Leila pointed to Mapi and said, "Yes, this will be so much more fun, since this one is getting old.".

Mapi defends herself by saying, "Hey, I'm not!".

„Yea, you are." Leila replied back.


==================================


They argued the wholeway to the Barça training center. Their attention was only drawn to us as we walked into the building. Theyspotted Alexia Putellas with a raised eyebrow looking at them and smiling at me.

As she approached us, she said, "You two seriously need an exorcism or couple therapy session."

She pointed at me: „And you need to go right to the end of the hall. Good luck, Chica."

My eyes grew wild. „You know?"

In response, she shrugs her shoulder and says, "I'm the captain, so I know everything.". I nod and laugh softly.

„Well, I'll gladly leave these two to you now." I said as Leila and Mapi pouted.

I walked up to the door Alexia instructed me to open and knocked. The door opened.

Here we go.....


==================================


I walked out of the room with a copy of the contract. I surprised my manager Jamie who I had no idea came and was already waiting in the room with them.

"I'm glad you're feeling better." She said as we walked out onto the field where the team was training.

„Yeah, I guess I am keeping myself occupied. And not really thinking." I said and looked down at my feet.

„Hey, they would be proud of you. Remember that? You don't need to forget them, but you CAN'T that's not how it works. Everything that happened happened for a reason. And it's your choice what you're going to learn from it. "Don't forget the law of action and reaction." My eyes filled with tears as I hugged her tightly.

The law was something she always explained to me when I felt out of place.

„Now, wipe those away and introduce yourself to the team. Jonathan is waiting for you." She pointed behind me. And he had actually been there.

With a nod, I pursued my lips.

„Ladies listen up." Jonathan said getting everyone's attention which quickly shifted my way.

„We have a new player Natialia Jain. I think most of you know her. I smiled as he said, "We are glad to have you on board.".

„Yeeees." I heard as Leila jumped at me for a third time today. The other girls laughed at the black haired woman's childish behavior as I almost fell down.


==================================


As all of the girls introduced themselves, I stood on the side field watching them train.

I was thrown out of my thoughts by my phone ringing off. It is Leah....

I picked up the phone: „Yes Leah?"

Shaking voice of Leah was heard on the other side of the phone: „Nat are you back in London by any chance?"

I frowned: „I'm not gonna be back for two more days...why?"

She sighed; „Nothing just asking...bye"

„Lea..." I didn't get to finish as she hung up.

What is going on Leah....

This story has always been a pleasure. I know I wasn't paying attention to this story lately. However, I realized that writing two stories at once is for my lazy ass to much 🤣.

Although I said I wouldn't update this weekend, I sorted the personal stuff yesterday which led to me having some time to write. ❤️

In case you didn't know, you can check out my other story on my profile.

Sending love and hugs. ❤️💃
