Lover - an Ona Batlle story.

Chapter thirty one; Gracias

"Wakey wakey" a thick Spanish accent sang as I slowly opened my eyes and stretched

"I'm awake" i grunt before sitting up slightly and rubbing my eyes

It was a very very warm day.

The room felt like an oven and so I grabbed my clean kit and made my way to the shower before turning it into the cold side and washing.

I took my time, it wasn't as if I was going to get picked  for the starting 11 anyways.. so I slowly showered testing all the fruity shower gel, mango was my favorite.

Once I had enough I dried myself up and put my kit on, I brushed my hair and teeth before walking out to see Ona ready and waiting for me

"20 minutes later" she rolls her eyes and I smile at her

"You ready?"

"Are you?" She jokes and I laugh at her before grabbing her hand and walking out with her

We make our way to the elevator and down to the pitch where Jorge was waiting on his own. I side eye Ona before continuing our walk to the subs bench, I feel a manly grip on my shoulder and I turn my head to see the gray bearded man looking at me sternly

"A word" he says and I smile at Ona before walking off

"So?" I ask

"You're starting tomorrow Garcia" he sighs "don't mess this up"

"Gracias" I grin and he smiles angrily as if this decision is forced before walking over to the group of girls

We stand in a circle for a while and listen to what the training drills are for today, it was mainly mini games to prepare us for the champions of Europe tomorrow.

I was bricking it

Knowing I'd have to go against my teammates, best friends and practically my parents? Yeah no thanks. I'd rather die then win/loose against them, they'd be heartbroken. It was a loose loose situation and that's simply the truth, although it does give me an excuse to see them.

"Garcia? You there?" Bonmati asks and I smile at her

"Sí"

"Wanna join our team for the tournament?" She smiles

"Of course"

We find some other people and point Bonmati as the captain since everyone listens to her, she's like the mother of the group unless she's misbehaving, then no one is.

We do some stretches and warm up games before getting ourselves in a small circle, she was taking this very seriously.

Her pep talk was.. interesting to say the least but everyone found it somewhat good. Shortly after the team came over and we got in our positions, the games were only 8 minutes so it was kinda all to play for which made it even more fun.

It felt like it was life or death..

I mean it was only a training tournament?

"Guys it's not that deep if we loose" I laugh and they all stare at me sternly making me instantly stop and continue listening.

The mini tournaments kicked of, we were blue team. The first team we played was red team (who got thrashed may I add), after that we played green team (who we drew 1-1 too) and some how we were already in the semis because every other team pretty much drew except orange , yellow and purple.

We were against orange

I scored one goal and Bonmati scored the other securing our place in the final, which was against purple. Ona was on that team.

Nothing happened for the first 4 minutes except us having most the ball. We dribbled so many times but their defense was just too good.

Or so we thought

In the 7th minute Carmona is through balled.

She dribbles past not one, but two defense and it's a 1 on 1 she shoots.. She scores! We all run over to her and celebrate our hard fought victory and get back into position.

I look over at Ona who doesn't seem to happy to say the least..

They kick off and as soon as they got into our half the whistle blows and all the teams clap as we celebrate

"eran demasiado buenos" I joke and the girls
(We're just to good)
laugh

"acordada" Carmona smiled and we walked up to
(Agreed)
the small trophy and lifted it smugly in front of the girls

After we were finished I walked up to Ona and put my arm around her

"How does it feel to loose to me?" I grin and she rolls her eyes

"You're lucky you won" she says non jokingly and I hold my hands up

"Anyways, I'm gunna go back to the hotel room, you coming?" I ask and she nods her head before entwining our hands and walking up

I open the door and we both walk in, I kiss her quickly before grabbing some clean stuff and a towel and showering.

Once I get out Ona is already asleep, I lay down next to her and tuck her in before kissing the side of her head and wrapping myself around her.

I soon fell asleep.

A/N: I am SO sorry this chapter took so long and it's not even that long.. My sleep schedule has been all over the place recently and I've had to do some revising etc but hopefully the next chapter will be out soon as well!

Hope ur all okay 🫶🏼
