PASSION~J.Bellingham

6.A day in the sun

Days passed on the MSC World Europa cruise ship, where I, along with the other English WAGs, savored the moments of luxury and relaxation amidst our daily training sessions. However, a persistent thought consumed my mind, threatening to overshadow the enjoyment of the experience - Jude Bellingham. He had unknowingly taken up residence in my thoughts, occupying my mind rent-free, and I couldn't help but feel a growing self-loathing for allowing it to happen.

During this time, I maintained regular calls with my brother Trent, finding solace in his familiar presence. Yet, there were nights when Trent was busy, and it was Jude who answered the phone. What began as brief exchanges gradually transformed into lengthy conversations that seemed to stretch into the early hours of the morning. The first night after Jude's unexpected declaration of my beauty and his musings about a potential relationship in another life, the awkwardness was palpable. But somehow, we managed to navigate through it, forging a bond that surpassed the initial discomfort and blossomed into a close friendship.

As our connection deepened, a realization struck me - I could bring Nella, my best friend, to join us in Qatar sooner than originally planned. Jobe Bellingham, Jude's younger brother, had been persistently messaging me on Instagram, imploring me to ask their mother to fly him over to Qatar. The idea took hold in my mind, and I thought, "Why not make it happen?"

With a newfound determination, I remembered that I needed to approach Trent and ask him if he could arrange for his driver to pick up Nella and Jobe in a few hours. Knowing the bond between siblings, I did not doubt that Trent would be willing to assist, and he did. It seemed like a small act of kindness that would not only bring us all closer together but also add an extra layer of joy and excitement to our shared adventure. The mere thought of Jude's happiness at being reunited with his brother Jobe warmed my heart. And for some reason, it scared me.

As the day of Nella and Jobe's arrival drew nearer, I found myself struggling to sleep until the early morning hours. I was beyond excited to see my best friend Nella after such a long time, and finally meet Jobe in person. We had only communicated through FaceTime and messages previously, so the anticipation was building up inside me. Before their arrival, I made sure to ask Mrs. Bellingham for permission to bring Jobe along and was relieved when she gave me the green light. I wanted everything to go smoothly during their stay, and I didn't want to upset Mrs. Bellingham in any way. When Nella and Jobe finally arrived, I greeted them with huge smiles and warm hugs. Jobe was taller than I had imagined, with striking brown eyes and a friendly demeanor. We hit it off instantly, talking about our shared interests and exchanging stories.

Throughout the rest of the day, after we got some rest, we explored the local area together, trying out new restaurants and visiting popular tourist attractions. Jobe proved to be a great companion, always making us laugh with his witty remarks and amusing anecdotes. I had made it crystal clear to everyone that Jobe's arrival was to remain a secret until the day of the final. Jude and I had developed a close friendship, and I had a feeling he would appreciate Jobe's presence during the game. Therefore, I strictly instructed Nella and everyone else to keep quiet about Jobe's visit. To maintain the element of surprise, Nella never posted anything on Instagram yet, and she also advised Jobe to do the same. she wanted to make sure that our plan remained intact and that we didn't give anything away before the big day.

Three days had gone by, and I must say, Jobe, Nella, and I were having an incredible time on the cruise. Being the only young ones on the trip, we were having a blast. Today was the fourth day and with the amazing sun shining bright, we decided to go for a swim.

Aria, Jobe, and Nella were delighted to find that it was a beautiful day as they enjoyed the seawater around the cruise ship. The sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow on the sparkling blue waters. They couldn't resist the allure of the sea and decided to take advantage of the perfect weather.
