𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐒 definitely confused.
her fingers hovered above the screen, unmoving, as the soft blue glow of her phone lit up the quiet of her bedroom. shadows flickered gently across the walls, her half-read book forgotten on her lap, steam from her mug of tea curling up into the still air. she blinked down at the screen.
césar azpilicueta.
even just the name held weight. a name you didn't forget easily, not if you followed football, not if you'd ever stepped onto a pitch. he was the kind of player commentators talked about with reverence, a captain, a quiet leader, steady and precise. chelsea through and through. someone with a history that lived in blue.
she remembered their encounter after the fa cup final, not long ago, the brief moment of quiet between chaos. her camera still warm in her hands, his voice soft and accented as he'd said, "you've got a good eye." they'd exchanged a few words, about the match, the energy, the strange contrast between joy and loss. it had been... surprisingly kind.
but fleeting. or so she thought.
so why was he messaging her now? at this hour?
her curiosity was louder than her doubt. her thumb finally tapped the screen.
a message, short and sincere. ___

@cesarazpi hola, i don't know if it's late but i wanted to tell you that i've looked at your photography account. i love your interpretation of art!! ☺️
@lunacortes oh hola! 👋 gracias for the sweet words i didn't think you'd remember me after our last encounter lol
@cesarazpi please, you're hard to forget :) there was something about your energy that day... and now seeing your work, it just makes sense. you see the world in a really unique way. good vibes only here, i promise
@lunacortes that's actually really kind of you to say i don't hear that often especially not from footballers 😅
@cesarazpi well... most of us are just pretending to be cool 🤷♂️ but i really mean it. you have a gift. your photos from the final? they felt like memories. not just images.
@lunacortes 😳 okay wow you're making me shy now haha i just try to capture what i feel. i think it's the only way i know how to keep moments alive
@cesarazpi and that's exactly why it works any chance you're back in london soon? would be nice to talk beyond just... typing 😅
@lunacortes 👀 smooth i'm mostly in liverpool now... but i guess i could make an exception if the vibes are right lol
