Author's note: This is a request from kaitlyn362011. They wanted something where you meet Rodrigo as a fan and then start a relatioship, so I've used an idea I had been wanting to use for a while but hadn't had the chance to. As always, I hope you like it, and thank you for reading! 💜

Little summary: After losing a bet with one of your friends, you now how to do wherever she asks you too. And what has been her brilliant idea? To make you sneak a little piece of paper with your phone number in the pocket of the person visiting you at work today for a fan event: Rodrigo Riquelme. (Female reader/pov)

"You are crazy. This is crazy."

"Oh, shush" my friend says while she keeps writing.

"What if someone sees us? What if the one seeing us do this is our boss? They could fire us, you know? Both of us."

"No one will notice or fire us, stop worrying" she says. "Here."

"I'm not doing it" I say, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Yes, you are. You lose the bet, remember?" she says, putting the little piece of paper between my arms. "You have to do it."

"Can't we change it for something different? Like, I could clean for you during a week. A month! Or pay for your coffee. Or..."

"Or nothing. This is what I want you to do, so chop chop. The event is almost over" she says, pushing towards the crowd

"Urgh" I groan.

It will be a silly bet, nothing serious, my friend had said. I won't make you do anything risky if I win, she had said. Yet here I am, on my way to ask Rodrigo Riquelme for a photo, and take advantage of the moment to sneak a little paper with my phone number and Instagram handle in his pocket.

My friend obviously got inspired after seeing other girls doing it with Pedri and Gavi during fan events, but the fact that people had made fun of them after being caught, some even finding it kind of disrespectful, hasn't changed her mind about it. Not even the possibility of me getting fired if I get caught since I work at Atlético de Madrid's shop, where today's event is happening, has made her stop to reconsider her plan.

"C'mon" she says, giving me a little push once the queue of fans in front of me starts moving. "Don't miss your chance."

"This seriously is the worst idea you've ever had."

"Or the best one. What if he ends up falling in love with you, marries you, and you save us all from being poor and having to work?"

"What?" I gasp.

"I was joking, relax" she chuckles. "Now focus on what you have to do."

"I hate you."

"I love you too" she smiles.

"Hi. Can I... We... Ummm..." I mumble when it finally is my turn.

"Take a photo?" Rodrigo smiles.

"Yes."

"Sure. Just you or both of you?"

"Just her" my friend says. "And don't forget about the paper" she whispers in my ear before pushing me towards him.

"Thank you for your work here today, by the way" he says as he wraps his arm around my shoulders.

"Uh?"

"You work here, don't you?"

"I do."

"Then organising all this mustn't have been easy" he says, looking at me.
