Wrong choice (Ferran Torres)

Chapter 36

There wasn't much time to wait for people's reaction to their hard launch because it was time for Ferran to go join the national team to prepare for the Euros. Anna was going to Germany for work and that made Ferran very happy. Too happy even. So happy, he even participated in activities he wasn't supposed to be a part of just to see Anna. Even if he had been told not to do it.

"Hi".

"What are you doing here?", asked Anna when she got to the area where all the interviews were going to be done.

"It's media day".

"Yeah and you're not one of the players we're supposed to interview. Unless I got my notes wrong".

"You didn't but...I wanted to see you", he pouted.

"How about you wait until I'm done working and then you can take me somewhere with no idiots staring at us?"
"To do what?", asked Ferran, moving closer to Anna and biting his lip.

"You haven't been here for a week and are already this horny? My God...".

"So...".

"Just a few kisses, Ferran. And I'll come visit you after the match in Badajoz for more".

"I'll score a goal for you".

"Promise?"

"Promise", said Ferran, kissing Anna's cheek before she could complain.

The match played in Badajoz was just a friendly for the players to finish their preparations for the Euros. But the goals counted too and when Ferran scored one, Anna felt so proud of him. He pointed at where she was sitting on the media area and everyone around Anna looked in her direction. Let them look, she thought. She was done caring about what people thought about her or their relationship.

Anna was asked to go interview Oyarzabal, who had scored a hat-trick. And then she was on her way back to where the dressing rooms were, hoping she could find Ferran soon. But it was him who found her first.

"Ahh!", she screamed when Ferran lifted her in the air.

Anna turned to face Ferran and he grabbed her face immediately so he could kiss her. "I don't care who's looking, sorry. I just have to kiss you".

"It's ok", she chuckled, kissing him again.

When they broke the kiss, Ferran just stared at Anna's face and her beautiful smile. He couldn't be more obsessed with her.

"That goal was for you, you know?", he whispered.

"I guessed it was, yeah. Nice of you to keep your promise".

Another kiss followed. "All my goals are dedicated to you. From now until the day I retire".

"You better score many then...I like feeling special when my boyfriend dedicates goals to me".

And of course, after saying that there were more kisses. People kept walking past them and laughing at the two lovebirds.

"I gotta go", said Ferran. "We have the afternoon off tomorrow. I'll see you then?"

"You will".

"See you tomorrow then. Can't wait".

"I can't wait either...", and before she left, she added something else without even realising what she was saying. "I love you".

Anna had loved Ferran for a long while but she had never said it out loud. Hence why Ferran just stared at her with his eye wide open. "You do?"

"Did you have any doubts?"

"A few so can you say it again?"

"I love you. I love you. I love you".

"I love you too, Anna. So fucking much".

Ferran was on cloud nine after that night. A goal and then Anna's first I love you for him...it really couldn't get any better.

"Man...a few kisses from Anna and look at the smile", laughed Pedri, seeing his friend beaming.

"It was more than a few kisses".

"Did you take her to a hidden room or something?"

"Shut up", said Ferran, shaking his head. "Anna told me she loves me".

"Of course she does".

"But she never told me like that".

"Really?", now it was Pedri smiling big as well. "Well, not surprising but I'm happy for you two, bro".

The next day, Anna was impatiently waiting to go back to Las Rozas to spend some time with Ferran. She was so impatient, she actually got there early. And the first player she saw was Pedri.

"Hey, how are you?"

"I'm good. Here to see your boy? He ditched me for you", joked Pedri.

"I thought your family was here...".

"Yes, but he didn't want to do anything after training because he was busy fixing his beard, his hair, choosing what to wear, ...".

Anna laughed imagining that. "So silly. Well, have fun with your family".

"You have fun too", he winked.

Ferran had given Anna directions so she could find his room and when she got there, she knocked on the door.

"Who's knocking? Just come in".

"Do the boys just come in without knocking?", Anna saw that Ferran was still in his underwear, trying to see what he could wear. "They might walk into all types of things".

"Yeah, well...we're all men. They aren't going to see anything they haven't seen before".

Anna locked the door before walking towards where Ferran was standing in the middle of his room. "Some things they don't need to see".
