Be Proud (Ana Maria Crnogorcevic)

You had missed your girlfriend dearly. So much so that you were tempted to break the curfew so you could go to her hotel and see her before you became opponents.

In the end you decide against it.

The first time you see Ana is when you walk onto the pitch for the inspection. She is talking to Jenni in the centre whilst you stand on the sidelines with Alexia.

"You can go see her you know?" Your club captain nudges you.

What Alexia didn't know is that you had been warned by Jorge not to see her before the game. He said he needed his star forward focused and even went as far to call Ana a distraction. Something that didn't settle well with you.

"I'll wait till after the game. I can't deal with him before the game" you shrug your shoulders but Alexia knew that you played your best football when you saw Ana, whether that is when she's by your side or a quick hi before kick off.

"I'm going over and you're coming with me" she puts her arm round your shoulder and all but pushes you towards your girlfriend.

You don't make your presence known immediately as Jenni is in the middle of speaking. Ana, on the other hand, had no problem in turning all her attention to you regardless if Jenni is talking or not.

It was sickening to those around them. It didn't matter whether there was twenty people around, when you and Ana was in close proximity everyone and everything around you became irrelevant.

"Hi" your tone is low.

"Hi" Ana replies; the corner of her mouth rising to form a smirk.

It had been mere weeks since you last saw her but you could have sworn she's changed somehow.

"Anyways don't take it personally when we beat you" Jenni unintentionally ruins the moment between you. Her words bring back the reality of the reason why Ana is standing in front of you in the first place.

"Ana what—"

"Don't. This is part of the sport. Sometimes we are team mates and sometimes we are opponents"

"Win or lose. You're mine" you say. It was both a question and a statement.

Ana doesn't have the chance to respond as she is called over by her coach.

It was game time.

You had put on a flawless performance but this came at a cost, not for you but for Ana because Spain's win sent Switzerland home. For the first time in your career you wasn't entirely happy about winning.

Ana was your first thought when the whistle was blown but Jorge pulled you over to him and the coaching staff.

"Great game Y/N. See what happens when you're not distracted" Jorge says smugly. That man's arrogance and annoyance knew no bounds.

"Me and the girls played well now if you'll excuse I am going to show respect to our opponents and that includes my girlfriend"

The blonde woman saw you walking over and met you half way. She had a look of disappointment on her face which is to be expected but she also wore a smile on her face. Even in the defeat she had the energy to be proud of you.

"You could have taken it easy on us" she says as she pulls you into her arms. With the height difference she can just about rest her chin on the top of your head.

"I did" you say rather smugly. Ana pulls away and gives you a look, one which makes you regret your comment "Sorry"

"Don't be. I'm proud of you Y/N"

"Ana, you should be proud of how you played. Not just today but of every game you have played so far"

"You're biased" Ana wanted to believe you but with the results they had it was hard.

"I am but that doesn't mean what I'm saying isn't true"

The two of you were so caught up in each other that you didn't realise both of your teams had begun doing their lap of the field thanking those who came to support them. Not wanting to be rude you joined them but stay together instead of going to your team mates. Ana's arm rested comfortably on your shoulder as you walk. It was her way of keeping you close and in the bubble that was sure to be popped once you reached the tunnel.

"Can we swap shirts?" You ask timidly.

"I would love to but I have promised it to someone else"

"Who? Was it Jenni? Aitana? Alexia? Tell me who it is and I'll fight them for it. I'm the only one that's allowed to wear Crnogorcevic on the back of my shirt"

Ana cannot help but laugh at your protectiveness and she knows that you will soon soften when she tells you who is getting her shirt.

"You're cute but you won't be fighting anyone" she says confidently.

"Watch me" you weren't backing down. You wanted Ana's shirt. Who could be more important than her girlfriend.

Ana removed her arm and chose to hold your hand instead whilst pulling you towards the family and friends section, the Spanish family and friends section. She hopped the barrier, you followed in suit and together you walked to where Irene was talking to Lucia and their son. Mateo reached out his arms and chose to be held by you instead of Irene. Something which you loved.

Your girlfriend watched the way you held him and the way you talked to him as if he was your best friend. She loved seeing you with Mateo because it gave her a glimpse of what the future could look like.

You were so caught up with the little boy in your arms that you didn't notice Ana taking her shirt off, almost.

"Irene. I won't let you wear my girlfriend's shirt. Nope, sorry, not going to happen"

The look the defender gave confused you.

"Wrong Parades Y/N"

Ana then proceeds to handing Mateo her shirt.

"How can I fight him? He's so cute and small and look at those cheeks" you knew in that moment that there's nothing you could do.

"Told you so" Ana knew that you would have no problem letting the little boy have her shirt.

Irene takes her son from you and puts him down. It gives you the opportunity to place the shirt over his head and helping him get his arms through. You have no problem admitting he looked cute in Ana's shirt.

The three of you, plus Mateo walk back across the pitch and towards the changing rooms.

"Next time, I get your shirt"

"Next time, I promise"
