A\N: She's so cute🥹

Aitana's POV

"(Let's go for a walk.)"

"(You seem upset with me.)" The captain looked over nervously.

"(I'm not happy.)"

"(Understood.)"

Alexia followed me out of the hotel. We walked through the city streets. The first few minutes silent until we got on a safe path to give focus to one another.

"(I'm rather sure that you know what I want to talk about. Hopefully you're willing to listen.)"

Alexia sucked in her bottom lip and lightly pressed her teeth around it. The discomfort on her face told me she was going to force herself to listen despite not wanting to deal with any of it. Alexia Putellas was a woman of control and she lost it.

"(Why are you doing this? You're trying to help Ona but you're the one holding her back.)"

"(I know. I'm trying my best to stop.)"

"(You know I look up to you. Ona looks up to you. Blair looks up to you. You would never take advantage of Ona or me like that Blair doesn't deserve it either. You have to back off. Don't do it for Ona's sake this time do it for Blair since you only seem to care about her.)"

"(No. Don't say that Aitana. You don't get it. You don't get to act like I don't care about any of you because of a mistake I made-.)"

"(Keep making repeatedly. Over and over and over again.)" She stopped walking and looked over at me silently. Her eyes began to water.

"(I'm sorry for letting everyone down. I've never felt this way before this conflict. I'm sorry that I'm acting this way and I'm going to stop. For the sake of the team and not for Blair. I'll stop for Ona.)"

I pulled her into a hug as she cried lightly on my shoulder. Love can be such a cruel thing. For some people it was their favorite feeling others it was their least.

People like Ona, Blake and I had love as a strength. People like Blair and Alexia struggled with love as a weakness. Love comes easy for some of us. Others not so much.

"(If it means anything to you, I'm sorry.)" I whispered to the captain. The issues with love triangles is there's always one loser in the situation. This case it was the 29 year old captain rather than the two younger 24 and 26 year older players.

Blake's POV

I sat in Blair's hotel room with her alone for awhile. We were both on our phones in silence. I wanted to talk to her about Ona but I wasn't sure how to approach the conversation.

I'm sure that Blair's feeling for Ona were still there. I knew they were still strong as ever, but I couldn't help but wonder if she'd admit to it. Was she trying to move on? Or was she patiently waiting while she messed around with Alexia Putellas.

"Do you still love her?"

"Ona?"

"I wouldn't be asking about anyone else."

"Of course I do."

"Why didn't you just work through things."

"I slept with Alexia that night."

"You think I don't know?" I quirked an eyebrow and sat up a bit. She knew better to think that I didn't know exactly what she would go do when she left with Alexia. She was upset and vulnerable.

Alexia and her had some odd connection and relationship but they are not meant to be together. Ona deserves Blair more than anything. Blair needs someone like Ona. No matter how much Blair tried to choke down her feelings for Ona, they were always going to be there.
