June 13, 2021

As the night draped its veil over London, Y/N Southgate and Mason Mount found themselves immersed in the vibrant heartbeat of the city. The echoes of victory from the stadium still reverberated within them, fuelling their spirits for the festivities that awaited.

Their destination was a renowned nightclub that the Chelsea players often frequented after matches. Y/N was excited to join Mason and be introduced to his close-knit circle of friends, the teammates who had become his brothers both on and off the pitch.

The pulsating bass of music greeted them as they stepped into the club, its dimly lit interior a playground for revellers seeking an escape from the world outside. Y/N's senses were immediately captivated by the kaleidoscope of lights, the rhythmic beats resonating in her chest.

Mason guided her through the crowd, weaving through a maze of bodies that danced and swayed to the music. Their laughter intertwined, a symphony of friendship that cut through the cacophony of the club.

Finally, they arrived at a private booth where Mason's friends were gathered, their laughter filling the air. Y/N's eyes widened as she recognized the faces of the Chelsea squad. Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Declan Rice, Jorginho, and Kai Havertz stood before her, their camaraderie palpable.

As introductions were made, Y/N found herself enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and acceptance. The players' girlfriends were also present, a constellation of strong, vibrant women who radiated their own unique energy. The air crackled with anticipation, and Y/N couldn't help but wonder what the night had in store for her.

As the evening progressed, Y/N discovered that the Chelsea players were not only exceptional athletes but also genuinely kind-hearted individuals. Ben Chilwell's infectious laughter filled the space, while Reece James showcased his mischievous side, teasing Y/N with playful banter. Declan Rice, the embodiment of quiet strength, offered her a warm smile that put her at ease. Jorginho's charm and elegance shone through his every word and gesture, while Kai Havertz exuded a quiet intensity that intrigued her.

However, Y/N was no stranger to the attention she garnered as a young woman in the public eye. She had become accustomed to admirers who sought to win her heart. Tonight, was no exception, as she noticed some of the boys in the club casting flirtatious glances her way.

Their attempts to catch her attention ranged from cheesy pickup lines to daring dance moves. But Y/N remained resolute, her heart belongs to her daughter and her dreams. She politely declined their advances, her focus unwavering as she relished the company of Mason and his friends.

As the night progressed, Y/N's connection with Mason's friends deepened. They shared stories, laughter, and dreams, finding solace in the knowledge that their paths had intertwined through a shared love for football. There was an unspoken understanding among them, a bond forged through their unwavering dedication to their craft.

In the midst of the swirling chaos, Y/N stole a moment of tranquillity, stepping outside onto the balcony. The cool night breeze brushed against her face, carrying with it a sense of clarity. Her thoughts drifted to her father, Gareth Southgate, and the dreams she held for herself.

She had always felt like an outsider in the realm of football, yearning for acceptance and validation. But tonight, surrounded by the Chelsea players, she realized that her dreams were within reach. These men, these warriors of the beautiful game, had embraced her as a member of their circle, their friendship serving as a testament to the unity that football could bring.

As Y/N re-joined the group, she locked eyes with Mason, a silent understanding passing between them. At that moment, she realized that her journey was not just about finding her place in the football world, but also about forging her own path, independent of her father's shadow.

The night continued to unfold, each passing moment etching itself into the tapestry of Y/N's memories. The boys' attempts to win her heart would fade into the background, for tonight was a celebration of friendship, love, and the magic that danced in the spaces between.

As the club pulsed with energy, Y/N Southgate revelled in the connections she had forged. Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Declan Rice, Jorginho, and Kai Havertz were not just footballers but beacons of light illuminating her path, reminding her that she could create her own destiny.

And so, with laughter and joy, they danced the night away, unaware of the journeys that awaited them in the days to come.
