Summary: Mila and Rúben had been best friends their whole lives. Literally. Born just a few months apart, they had shared everything. The same school, the same group of friends, the same passion for football... Not even moving to Manchester to play...

"Mila, remember to be nice."
"I always am nice."
"Of course you are, love" Rúben chuckles.
"Love? That's new."
"Don't you like it? I can call you meu amor or something like that" he says, hugging her by the waist.
"Nah, I like love and the way you say it" she replies, putting her arms around his neck.
"Can I keep calling you that, then?" Rúben asks.
"You can... love" Mila says before kissing him.

"Hello, Sasha. May I come in? Thank you."
"I didn't say if you could come in or not" Sasha says when Mila walks past her.
"Sorry" she replies, sitting down on the sofa. This was it. She was going to face Sasha, and get all the truth out of her.
"What do you want?"
"To have a chat with my neighbour. From wag to wag. Come, sit next to me."
"A chat about what?" Sasha asks, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Just... things. Come, sit down. I won't bite" Mila smiles.
"Ok, fine" Sasha says, sitting as far away from her as she can.
"What a lovely day we've had today, uh? Training was so nice..."
"Mila, what do you want?"
"Ok, fine. Straight to the poting" she sighs. "I know it was you."
"That it was me what?"
"Oh, c'mon, Sasha. You are a clever girl, you know what I am talking about."
"I do not, no."
"I know you are the one behind the articles that had been written about me and Rúben on The Sun."
"What?" she says with a nervous laugh. "Did you hit your head in training today or something?"
"Sasha, it's over. I know it was you. I just want to know why."
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Then let me explain it to you. Rúben and I have been living in Manchester for a few years now, and we had never been papped, no one is interested on us. When we went out with you and Jack, it was the first time a tabloid paid attention to us. We thought it was just a coincidence, that they were there for you, but then the article was all about us, and that was... weird. Then, of course, we have the video of us kissing at the Etihad. We were alone and somewhere where only staff members were allowed, yet we still got caught."
