being a professional football player may seem like the best. playing in a professional league, a good club team, having fans all over the globe, loads of money, etc.

it is. but it has its downsides.

it is currently june 16, 2018. the beginning of the 21st world cup. it's being held in russia and i'm playing with my international team, croatia.

it's not our first time at the world cup, so we know what time of gameplay we're expecting. yet, it still makes me anxious of how this could go.

the only thing that could help with my nerves would be my wife. unfortunately, she's off filming infinity war and endgame back to back so her schedule is completely booked.

we also left off on bad terms.

i speed through the streets, anxious to share the good news with my wife.

everyday after practice or games i would arrive home and there she was, waiting for me in the living room with a bottle of wine, ready to tell me how her day went.

and me, who's madly in love with her, listens to every single word that comes out of her lips.

"elizabeth! honey! you home?" i yell out as soon as the door swung open.

"in the kitchen!"

i smiled at the sound over voice, dropping my bag and shuffling over to the kitchen, being careful not to slip as my cleats are still on.

my cone of vision shifted to a brunette with brown eyes, causing me to furrow my eyebrows in confusion.

"you're... not lizzie?"

"hi, my love. how was soccer practice?"

i turn away from the brunette and face the green eyes i fell for. even though i can't see myself, i'm sure my eyes are telling a million words.

"we're not going over this again. but... it is football, love. either way, i have something important to tell you, and-"

"y/n?"

i clear my throat and shake my head before i face the mysterious brunette who has yet to utter a single word.

"right. sorry. got a little distracted. um, hi. my names y/n. it's a pleasure to meet you...?"

i offer a hand out as i wait for the woman to respond.

she perks an eyebrow and smirks as her eyes trail over to lizzie. i shift my eyes back and forward awkwardly as the woman hasn't taken my hand yet.

"attractive AND respectful? where'd you find this one, jupiter? the names aubrey, but you can call me anytime you want to, darling."

she spoke as she finally took my hand, shooting me a wink. my eyes widen in shock at the sudden bold move.

elizabeth rolled her eyes and slapped my hand. i let out a sharp inhale and drop aubrey's hand.

"babe, aubrey is my co-star in the new movie. she's going to play a new character. aubrey, stop flirting with my spouse. i'm sure jeff wouldn't like his fiancé hitting on someone."

"i'm sorry. if i had known we'd have guests over i woulda have gotten myself cleaned up a bit."

i motion up and down my body, gesturing to the sweat, messy hair, and jersey sticking to my body.
