"You're right, stracciatella was the right choice" Dean chuckled as we walked through the streets of Rome the afternoon ahead of the Coppa Italia final in Rome, in which Juve was facing a very strong-looking Atalanta. "It's always been your favourite flavour" I replied and grinned at my best friend. As predicted by me, his second half of the season at Roma hadn't been as successful as hoped, but he had surely learnt a lot and was full of energy and positivity to return to Juve after the summer break. Kenan and I had come down a few times in these past months to visit him, and he had returned to Turin for some important birthdays or occasions and everyone was on good terms as usual.
"You and Kenan look happy, what are your summer plans?" he asked as we passed the Trevi Fountain into which I threw a coin, making a wish that I won't tell you, because if I did, it wouldn't come true. But you can probably guess what it was anyways. "I'm going to every single Turkey game" I told him proudly at which he made a surprised, but happy face. "And some other EURO games, to network with fellow colleagues in the football world" I added dramatically, already dreading the boring dinners with annoying men in their mid-forties and -fifties.
"You guys should visit us in Marbella after the EUROs" he suggested and I nodded excitedly. "Yeah, I've also asked him to take me to Turkey to meet his extended family but he didn't seem too ecstatic about that. He probably wants to practice his Turkish more to not embarrass himself there" I joked and Dean laughed with me. "You look so happy, Bea" he said and he was right, I was literally glowing these past few weeks - I always did when summer was around the corner, but this year it was extra special because I was at ease with my life and had Kenan by my side.
"I am, we are. We're going public public tonight if everything goes well" I said and blushed bright red, already having pictured our pose for the cameras with the Coppa Italia a million times in my head. "You'll overcome everything, he's the one for you" Dean reassured me and slung his arm around my shoulders while I leaned into him. I was such a lucky girl.
After returning to his flat and getting changed, we eventually made our way to the Olympic Stadium, which Dean knew all too well by now. "I'm so nervous" I admitted as we walked inside and made our way to the VIP box. "They'll win, it's Juve" Dean replied and shot me a knowing look. Uncle John was here, as well as his wife and even my parents had come to support the team, especially my boyfriend. Even though they weren't around a lot, they had made efforts to meet up with the two of us from time to time when they'd visit Turin. He probably wasn't the son-in-law they had envisioned but my happiness with him was undeniable and they saw that. I wished Dado would be with us in moments like these.
The players walked out and everyone stood up for the Italian national anthem. Kenan turned around quickly from the bench and our eyes met as I shot him a proud smile. And only three minutes in, we already had something to celebrate. Dusan shot the ball perfectly into the net, putting us into the lead. Dean and I grabbed each other's hands and jumped up in ecstasy to celebrate and also Kenan was doing the same with his teammates. It was an exciting game, with both teams creating equal chances, but we were still in the lead going into half-time.
In the second half, we definitely played better and I was bouncing my leg up and down all the time waiting for my boyfriend to get subbed in as he had started warming up on the sidelines. And then, in the 68th minute Chiesa left the pitch for him and our whole Juve bench in the box stood up for his entrance, which was a pretty strong sign of unity and support from us. He played really well, I was so proud of him and my cheeks were blushed all the time from looking at him.
Vlahovic even shot a second goal, but unfortunately VAR disallowed it. We won the game nonetheless and when the referee blew the final whistle, the players from the bench stormed the field and all of us stood up again to clap for them. My heart was beating so fast, seeing Kenan so happy at winning his first major trophy with the team - and me being there for it. The gold medals and trophy were awarded while I took a million pictures, zooming in on only one person, which earned me a smirk from my uncle, but he was one to talk with his newly found fanboy behaviour for Kenan. He even got a jersey with his name on the back and made him sign it at dinner one time - now it hung in his office - right next to Charles Leclerc's 2019 Spa winning racing suit.
After some time, friends and family of the winning team were let onto the pitch and I immediately ran off to the one person I was dying to see and touch. He already waited for me with his arms wide open, into which I jumped and he effortlessly spun me around a few times before pressing a kiss onto my lips. "Congratulations!!!!!" I squealed after he put me down and then he hugged me tightly again. "I LOVE YOU" he shouted and I grinned widely at him. "I love you too" I replied and caressed his cheek. He took my hand doing that and planted a quick kiss on it, making me knees melt like ice cream in July. He was so dreamy.
We took so many pictures with the other players, their girlfriends and finally, the trophy also found Kenan. I let him take some pictures alone before joining him and we both smiled at the camera with our widest grins. When we were done, we decided to take a small walk around the pitch, with him having his arm around my shoulders, and mine hugging his waist. "It's a shame your parents weren't here" I said. "Yeah... They were busy. Hopefully in the future sometime" he mumbled and looked into the distance. "You'll win many more trophies, they'll have enough opportunities" I replied and smiled brightly at him, which made him look down at me and smile too.
"But it's you who's my forever, so I really only need you to be there" he said and squeezed my cheeks together, making me look like a fat hamster. "You're so cheesy" I chuckled as we swayed back and forth in a loose embrace. "I was whipped from the moment I saw you. Took me some work but with you, I've already won the biggest trophy in life" he replied and gave me a corny smile. "Urgh, you made me a softy" I groaned and we both laughed as we walked back to the others to celebrated not only the trophy, but also our joy of having found each other.
