Victoria and Pablo meet by chance when she has to interview him after the Nations League final 2023.
He's immediately infatuated by her, but due to a few years age difference, she only sees him as a younger friend.
Will he make it out of the friendz...
When I woke up the next morning and walked to the kitchen/living room, I saw my boyfriend shirtless doing some push-ups on the floor. I stood in my doorframe and looked at every muscle of his body flexing and light sweat pearls forming on his body. "Careful, you're drooling" he said when he finished and stood up to walk over to me. "Can you blame me?" I asked and looked into his eyes while biting my lip. He pushed a strand of hair away from my face behind my ear. "Do I make you happy?" he asked with a serious face. "Of course you do" I whispered and closed the gap to his lips. "Now you go shower and I'll prepare some breakfast" I said and shooed him into the bathroom.
While he was eating a healthy porridge, I was chewing on my third Nutella toast and he looked at me with a mix of envy and annoyance. "Will you go to the match on Wednesday with me?" he asked. "Wha- won't you watch it with your injured teammates?" I asked. "So? Pedri also brought you along. Or would you have actually wanted to kiss him on the love-cam?" Pablo teased me and I shot him a look. "I'd love to - if you want me there" I replied without commenting on his remarks. "Great, do you want to do something tonight or tomorrow? The boys want me for a FIFA evening and asked me what works better for me" he asked. "We have a team dinner tomorrow, but I'm free tonight if that works for you?" I replied. "Yeah, great, perfect, I'll pick you up" he said while typing on his phone.
After we had finished, it was my turn to shower and get dressed before we both went downstairs and while I took my scooter to work, he headed back home with his car before having to head to recovery training. When I approached the office building, I saw paparazzi waiting and I wondered who they were there for, maybe the society section had some celebrity coming over for an interview. But then it dawned on me: could they be there for me? When I parked my Vespa across the street and took off my helmet, my thought was confirmed. One pointed in my direction and they approached me, while clicking their cameras wildly.
I took a deep breath and walked to the entrance, as I did every day. I tried to relax my face, not smile and not look angry, the more neutral I stayed, the less bad comments I would attract. Being a journalist helped, I know what makes a story and what doesn't. 'Never complain, never explain' is the best motto in this case. They were shouting all kinds of stuff at me: "How did you meet?" "Since when are you dating?" "How is the sex with a 19-year-old?" "Is he submissive given your age?" When I finally got inside the building, I took a deep breath before heading up to my desk.

"Hey, are you alright?" Irene asked me concernedly as I sat down in front of her. "Yeah... it's just a bit overwhelming, but we know how this stuff works. It's just... I'm the bad person and he has absolutely no fault in it, that's the narrative and it couldn't be further from the truth..." I sighed and pulled out my phone to see a text from my boyfriend.
Pablo ⚽️ Just saw the pics, are you ok?
Vicky ❤️ Thanks for checking on me 🥰❤️ I'm ok, don't worry
After work, I made my way back home to get ready for my date with Pablo, even though I had no idea what he had planned. He texted me that he was leaving his place now and would be at mine in 35-40 minutes as there was a lot of traffic. I got downstairs and waited for his car to turn around the corner, and when it did I quickly jumped in and greeted him with a kiss.
"What are we doing?" I asked curiously. "Going to IKEA. I need some stuff for my home and Cristo was 100% convinced that this would be a dream date for you, tell me if you hate it, so then I can blame him" he chuckled. "Oh my God. This really is my dream date. I'll buy you lots of organising stuff." I said excitedly and clapped my hands, as he already looked stressed. "Why didn't I just take you out to a fancy restaurant?" he asked, faking an exasperated tone. "Because you know me and know that this is indeed a dream date for me, Cristo just gave you the idea. It's called being in love Pablo, don't worry, it's normal at your age." I joked. "You're being awfully funny. May I remember you that I'm just the victim here, you seduced me and I'm under your spell" he joked back, alluding to the comments swirling around the internet. I just laughed and after a while he said: "Are you ok, Vicky? It's... a lot. Please tell me when it's too much, you wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for me." I leaned my head back on the rest and turned to him with a soft smile. "I knew what was coming. But you're worth it" I replied. "When would you say, did you actually fall in love with me?" he asked and curled his lips into a smile. "That evening when you ordered pizza and your friends helped you clean up before, I knew I loved you. We had that really good talk about family and values and I could see our future together so clearly" I answered. "Yeah, that was a turning point for me too. But when you drunk called me that night after I told you to stay away and I still answered, I knew there was no way I could escape the feelings I had for you." he answered.
He fell first, I fell harder.
