Chapter 3

Paris, the city of love. But first, London.

"Bukayo, what the fuck are you doing in my apartment?"

That morning, when Amira was so rudely awoken by the shouts of Bukayo Saka the first emotions to flash through her mind were fear, shock, and pure confusion. Then came her response asking him what he was doing in her apartment. "It doesn't matter how I got in, what does matter is the fact that you came to London and didn't say a single word to anyone," Bukayo shouted at her, arms flailing around like a mad man.

"Mate, I got here last night, haven't even seen my mum yet," Amira responded, rubbing her forehead at the sudden awakening. "And what? You couldn't at least text me? Hey Bukayo, I'm in London let me know if you'd like to go out. Not even that Amira Diana Albon." The man stood in front of her with a look on his face which Amira would later that day describe as "He looked as if I had just told him I ran someone over."

"Listen, I forgot," Amira stated, which earned a gasp and then incited Bukayo to hit her over the head with a pillow. "You forgot?" He shouted, "That's so mean," putting exaggeration on the last word.

"Kayo, how did you even find out I was here?" The girl questioned and her friend shrugged as he said "I saw the paparazzi posted a picture of you leaving Heathrow last night," Amira scrunched her face at the idea of the paps being everywhere before sitting up and walking to the bathroom.

"Make yourself comfortable I'll be down in a bit," Amira shouted as she went to brush her teeth. "Alright, also I'm making us plans for tonight," which although Bukayo couldn't see it, it made her deflate a little hoping it wasn't clubbing. Her hangover still hadn't left her.

A few minutes later, she returned to Bukayo on her couch eating a bowl of cereal and happily went and sat down next to him. The two spent a couple minutes catching up, Amira telling him about how travelling with Alex had been and Bukayo telling her how his girlfriend Tolami had been as well as discussing the Euros.

"Speaking of the Euros, you remember Palmer right?" Amira nodded, telling Bukayo to continue, "So for plans tonight, we're going to dinner with him and Sterling tonight, he said something about bringing some new teammate too if that's good with you? About 7:30? Tolami said she'll come too." This was what convinced Amira, her and Tolami had bonded rather quickly and the two always looked forward to seeing one another.

"Sounds fine to me, just need to find something to wear." Saka nodded before picking up the TV remote putting on Modern Family. The two watched in silence, Amira thinking of what to wear before settling on a long white skirt and a strapless black crop top both of which she had recently bought. By the time she had started getting ready it was 5:45 and Bukayo had left telling her that he and Tolami would come get her about 7:15 since the restaurant wasn't far. This earned a response from Amira which was, "My favourite part about London is being you twos child,"

"Hola Marc, where are you going?" Hector asked his best friend. "I got invited to dinner by Sterling and Palmer, friend of theirs is visiting so them, Saka, Saka's girlfriend and I are all going to dinner," The 18 year old responded before adding to his sentence, "Apparently she's around my age though so it should be fun, or I hope at least," The truth is, the Spanish boy was a bit nervous. Although he did get along well with his teammates, he missed Barcelona quite a lot and was still getting used to the new environment.

Hector nodded, before going back to his own activity which was packing for his visit to France. He would be going to support Spain in the Olympics but his least favourite part of going anywhere, was the part where he had to pack. He never could decide what to take, what not to and for some reason he could never fit all his clothes into one bag. He groaned and laid back on the floor. "Marc, I might just not go. I hate packing, Lord help me." he sighed.
