Except one

To me it did

It's the next day, and Lucy, Ona and I walk onto the training field. We greet the media girl and then begin passing the ball, till training starts. I haven't thought about the whole situation with Alexia since it happened. Alexia walked on the field and sees me. She doesn't walk up to me, but she does watch me as she puts on her cleats. Lucy and Ona noticed her looking at me, but decide to not tell me.

Jonathan explains the drills we have to do. I get paired up with the Dutch girl, Esmee Brugts. Alexia gets, somewhat, jealous of seeing me laughing with Esmee. During our water break, Alexia walks up to me.

''¿Yazmin? ¿Puedo hablar contigo un minuto?''

(Yazmin? Can I talk to you for a minute?)

I turn my head around to see Alexia. I excuse myself to Esmee and then walk a round, around the field with Alexia. It's pretty awkward. After some silence, I decide to break it.

''Entonces, ¿de qué querías hablar?''

(So, what did you wanna talk about?)

Alexia nods and takes a deep breath. Once again, the Barcelona captain, is searching for her words. She nods once again and turns to me while we're both still walking.

''Quiero disculparme... Lo que hice, simplemente irme, fue de mala educación.''

(I want to apologize.. What I did, just leave, it was rude.)

I must say, I am a bit surprised she apologized. I wouldn't think my captain would let her guard down like this. I know I never will again. I once did, and it ruined me in every way it could ruin me.

''Gracias, Alexia''

(Thanks, Alexia)

She nods once again. We have half a field left to walk.. The silence finds it's way back.

It's January 31 and it's our game against SL Benfica. We exit the plane after we land in Portugal. We ride to the hotel in our team bus. Alexia and I, what a coincidence, share a room. I take the most left bed, at the window. I put my suitcase next to it and sit on the bed. Alexia walks in after me, and sits on the right bed. She looks at my tired face. Tomorrow we have a free day, to catch up from the flight. I stand up and look at Alexia. She looks tired, but she looks hot while being so.

''¿Está bien si me ducho por primera vez?''

(Is it okay if I take the first shower?)

Alexia nods immediately. I give her a nod back, take my shower stuff from my suitcase, grab some shorts and a shirt and disappear into the bathroom. I don't lock the door, I trust Alexia enough. Under the shower I listen to some music, of course 'Hate it or love it'. That song is my life. After half an hour or so, I walk back into the room. Alexia was scrolling on her phone. I smile a bit, I wanted to speak up that she could shower. Instead, she talks before me.

''¿Quieres ir a la ciudad? Solo camina alrededor...''

(Do you wanna go to the city? Just walk a round)

I am a bit surprised by her question. I stand there for a minute, but then nod slowly.

''Seguro... ¿Por qué no?''

(Sure, why not?)

She nods happily. She stands up and puts on her Nike shoes. So do I. We're both in a Barcelona short and Jersey. We exit the hotel, and start walking towards the centrum nearby. We just talk about the game. We always do, when we get the chance. We both wanna win the game at all cost. We sit down at a little restaurant, at the coast. The breeze is warm and comforting. We both order a ice coffee.

I look at the sea, my hair moving from the wind, my ocean blue eyes, lighting by the light of the moon.. Alexia can't take her eyes off me. I then turn to her with a small smile.

''¿Qué?''

(What?)

Alexia shakes her head and gets red cheeks. Our ice coffees arrive, and we cheer to winning the game tomorrow. We sit here for about two hours, just talking. About football, but also about other things, like my time at Arsenal.

We are on our way back to the hotel. Alexia wants to ask something, but she is scared she is going to hit a nerve. I notice her difficult face and laugh a little. I nudge her with my arm.

''Está bien, solo pregunta lo que quieras, Putellas..''

(Okay, just ask what you wanna ask, Putellas)

She smiles and then nods.

''¿Por qué... eras tan sin emociones, cuando hablamos de que me iría en medio de la noche? ¿Ese... abrazo... no significó nada?''

(Why.. were you so emotionless, when we talked about me leaving in the middle of the night? Did that... hug... mean nothing?)

I am surprised by this question. I don't know what to say. Alexia sees my blunt face and adds something. She talks in a whisper.

''Porgue tengo que admitirlo, para mí así fue..''

(Because I got to admit, to me it did)

I laugh. Alexia steps back a bit. I can't believe a single word she just said to me. I don't believe in love anymore. Love is fake, and only gets people hurt. That's what I think about it since my breakup with Leah.

''Divertido, prueba con Alexia... prueba con una broma mejor la prócima vez.''

(Fun try, Alexia. Try a better prank next time)

With those words, Alexia walks away from me. I raise my eyebrows and talk to her.

''¿Alexia?''

She doesn't listen. She continues to walk. I nod and then understand she meant what she said. I decide to let her be. I buy a coffee and then also make my way back to the hotel, alone. 

HI GUYSSS, so I know today's upload is later, but I didn't have anymore story's scheduled so I had to write new ones todayyy! Okay so my match today was.... chaotic. I was captain again, and it felt great to be back being so! First half ended 1-0 for them.. Then in the second half a lot happend, and we got two more goals against us. Then in the last 15 minutes our keeper had to go off and I needed to be keeper. I only let one ball through from the fifteen attempts or so, so I'm kinda proud of myself! Okay back to the story, Yazmin now knows about Alexia her feelings.. But what will she do with that info? KEEP READINGGGG! Thanks for all the reads and votes guys! Love you all <3

ALSO WHILE WRITING THIS, ALEXIA SCORED A PENALTY AND I SCREAMED!! WE LOVE OUR REINA
