Rejection Leads To Acceptance - REAL MADRID SQUAD

She's Mine

After the training session has ended the 5 guys gathered in the lockers room chatting "y'all have to know what me and rodrygo found this morning" vini says in excitement
"oh come on, man. Yk it wasn't like that" Jude groans saying that
"oh yes it was we witnessed the whole thing" rodrygo says
"can y'all just say what happened?" tchouameni asks
"well..... Jude had the café girl in his kitchen this morning and they were flirting together while she was preparing breakfast" vini says mocking Jude
"they were all lovey dovey and he was whispering some kind of romantic shit into her ears" rodrygo explains mocking him along with vini
"yeah and she was even wearing HIS clothes so that means she had stayed the night over at his place" vini says
"ugh you two will be banned from entering my home ever again" Jude says
"ooohhhh so what happened between the two of you?" cama asked winking at Jude
The smirks from all of them pointed at Jude made him feel nervous
"I swear we didn't do anything, she just stayed over bc it was too late for her to leave and she kinda fell asleep next to me when we were watching the movie" Jude explains feeling a rush heat in his cheeks
"WHATTTTTTT. That's the fastest progressive you've ever made since I first ever met you" cama says
"do you like her?" vini asks
Jude stares at his own hands lost into deep thoughts trying to find an answer, he then sits down leading the rest to follow and do the same thing
"whenever she's around I feel the urge to stick by her side, I feel like my body is taking actions on its own, I'm unable to think straight when she's around, I'm  always looking for an opportunity to take a look at her or even for her to need me in sth. Idk how to describe that twisted pounding in my heart that always pulls me to her like a magnet, I think I do like her" Jude says
"BITCH YOU DO LOVE HER NOT ONLY LIKE HER!!" cama says
"ikr he was so poetic rn to the point I think he's drowning" rodrygo adds
"pffff... No I don't think I'm in love I don't know her for that long" Jude denies
"shut up, dude. Oh btw did you tell her that we're taking off to the USA next week?" vini asks
"no, I'll tell her tomorrow" Jude answers

9pm at night and Adriana was in the Cafe working overtime, when she felt her phone ringing in her pocket
She picked it up to see it was an unknown, she answers it
"Hello, this Adriana talking" she says
"oh hey, riana. This is jude" he says
"oh hey, boy. How you doin' after training?" she asks with a smile holding her face
"I'm alright. Kind of tired but umm.... I kind of-....ummm- well......what I wanted to say-" he says
"I miss you" she interrupts him
"I know you're blushing right now without me having to see it" she adds while she's giggling
"N-no I wasn't blushing or anything, I ummm.... I miss you too, riana" he says quietly
"I know you can't survive a day without me" she says
"oh yeah definitely" he says causing both of them to laugh
"ohhh shoot I'll have to get back to work I'll talk to you later, okay?" she says
"okay, bye take care" he says

She finishes the call feeling butterflies into her stomach while she was smiling to herself
"who's that lovely guy that has stolen ur heart?"
Adriana snaps out of her thoughts looking in front of her finding the one and only Lauren cklares smirking at her
"omg Lauren, how you doing? It's been so long" Adriana says hugging her old roommate
"I'm alright. It's been a while since I last saw you" Lauren says
They both sit down and start catching up yet talking about life
"so what are you doing right now as a Job?" Adriana asks
"I'm real madrid's coach" Lauren answers
"omg seriously?" Adriana says
"yeah, it's alright. I like the job, I'm getting recognized by the media for my works and results, and I humble all these male managers who used to underestimate me bc I'm a female" Lauren says
"you're fantastic, girl. I'm proud of you" Adriana says
"so who was the person you were talking to on the phone?" Lauren asks smirking at her
"well.... This is kinda awkward since you know that person" Adriana says scratching her neck
"which one of them?" Lauren asks knowing it's one of the team members
"Jude bellingham, but please don't tell him anything about it, I don't want him to feel awkward around me or sth, he might not like me THAT way" Adriana answers not daring to look at her friend's eyes out of embarrassment
"hold on, seriously? Jude? Wow that's unexpected from him, but okay I won't tell him that ur drooling all over him and keep smiling like a stupid elf once he calls you" Lauren teases her
"why is it unexpected?" Adriana wonders
"well, he never goes out with girls a lot. He's a polite dude with a strong personality" Lauren says and causes Adriana to smile and blush even harder
"omg ur a simp, girl" Lauren says
"I'm not. He's just so perfect, I think I like him.... So much" Adriana says
"yeah well I'm sorry ur future boyfriend will be stolen from ur hands for two weeks bc we have a training session in the US next Thursday" Lauren says
"wait, really?" Adriana says
"yeah" Lauren answers
"btw he isn't my future bf or anything. Stop with that y'all. even rodrygo called me sister-in-law the other day. So annoying" Adriana says
"rodrygo that brat" Lauren mumbles to herself
"what? You don't like him?" Adriana asks
"whom?" Lauren asks
"rodrygo you don't like him?" Adriana asks
"no, I don't. He's just the quite opposite of everything I want in a player I coach" Lauren says
"how?" Adriana says
"he's such a brat, always rejecting whatever I say, always doing things the way he likes, he's so disobedient and I can't control him, I don't why. He's the first player in my whole career that I can't control and let him put his full trust in me as his coach, but...." Lauren says
" but what?" Adriana asks
" the other day when we were playing the semi-final he kind of listened to what I had in mind, he was the only one to find the key of the game. But still he's oddly strange that I can't wrap his attitude like I do with every other player" Lauren explains
"maybe try sharing ur ideas with him" Adriana suggests
"NEVER" Lauren says
"ugh idk in all that football thing, you'll figure it out somehow" Adriana says
