Although she wasn't walking tonight's red carpet with Jude, Naya couldn't deny the nerves she felt as she got ready to attend Real Madrid's annual gala held in support of multiple children's charities across the city.
After a grueling tennis practice with Maria and her team, Naya had spent the better part of the day in and out of various maintenance appointments.
She had her hair styled into an elegant updo, her makeup perfectly done to complement her stunning evening gown. As she slipped on her heels and grabbed her clutch, Naya took a step back to inspect her outfit in the floor length mirror in one of Jude's guest rooms.
She was pulled from her thoughts as the bedroom door swung open, revealing Jude standing there in a sharp tuxedo, a smile spreading across his face as he took in Naya's appearance.
"Wow, you look absolutely breathtaking," he said, crossing the room to join her, his hands resting gently on her waist.
"Thank you," Naya replied, feeling her nerves ease slightly under Jude's warm gaze. "You look handsome," she complemented, a playful smile tugging at her lips.
Jude leaned in to place a soft kiss on Naya's neck before offering her his hand so he could lead her outside to the awaiting car.
Their driver opened the car door, and Jude helped Naya inside before sliding in next to her. The anticipation of the evening ahead filled the air as they made their way to the gala. Naya couldn't help but feel grateful for Jude's calming presence by her side.
As they arrived at the venue, Naya made her way inside leaving Jude to pose for pictures and take interviews from journalists.
She mingled with the familiar faces around the room as she waited for Jude to join her, enjoying the lively atmosphere and the chance to support such important causes.
Finding the table they were seated at, Naya took a seat waiting for Jude to join her.
As she sat there, Naya couldn't help but feel a surge of pride knowing that tonight Jude was set to be awarded for his efforts on the team in their previous season after winning the LaLiga tournament and Champions League.
"Naya," a voice called out, causing her to look up in surprise. She couldn't believe her eyes as she saw Carlos Alcaraz approaching her table.
"Carlos, hi," Naya smiled politely as he took a seat beside her.
"I had no idea you were attending tonight. It's great to see you," he said, genuinely happy to have some familiar company amidst the chaos of the event.
"I'm here with my boyfriend," Naya replied, gesturing towards where Jude was finally making his way over to their table, looking less than pleased with Naya's acquaintance. His jaw tensed slightly as he reached them, he managed to offer a nod in Carlos' direction before turning his attention to Naya.
