CHAPTER 16

🎧: We Are The People - Empire Of The Sun

MELODIE'S POV

A couple of weeks later i was getting ready for a Real Madrid game. It was the first time i'd show up somewhere after leaving Bayern.

It was exciting but also quite stressful. I knew that pictures were going to be taken of Jamal and I if we would get to see each other after or before the match.

I put on some makeup and put my hair into a slick ponytail. I wore a Madrid jersey with Jamal's name on the back. I paired it with black denim shorts and the same coloured low converses.

I took my phone from the counter and locked the house behind myself after leaving. I moved in with Jamal not that long ago. It was more convenient for the both of us.

I got in my car and drove to the stadium. Because of the traffic it took me longer than usual, but i made it just in time. I saw the players go out and start warming up as i got to my seat.

I sat beside other Madrid fans and once they recognised me they begun asking for countless pictures. I agreed only until the end of warm up.

When Jamal spotted me he smiled. I replied to the guy with a wave. I was sitting near the reserve bench so quite close to the pitch.

After the warmup ended i focused fully on the game which was about to begin. The players walked out and lined up in a line.

Real Madrid played against Fc Barcelona, which could only mean trouble. El Classico was one of the most important games of the season.

The teams had been competing against each other for countless years. I knew how important this match was to Jamal and i wasn't going to allow anything or anyone to ruin it.

I heard the referee blow the whistle and  the game had started. I focused fully on the Real Madrid's team and watched Jamal carefully.

At half time i decided to get something to drink. I went upstairs and into the lounge to which i had access because of the pass that Jamal had give me.

I grabbed a paper cup and filled it up with coke zero. As i was turning around someone approached me from behind and we nearly collided. I glanced up and saw Michael.

- Oh my god! - I excited and jumped into the guy's arms.

He hugged me tightly and spun me around. Him and i haven't seen each other ever since i moved to Madrid. It was really nice seeing him again.

- What are you doing here? - I directed a question towards him once the two of us pulled away.

- Small injury and decided to fly out and watch the game. - He explained as we stood by the windows.

- What injury? Are you okay? - I inquired with a worried face.

- Back problems, but i'm fine. How are you on the other hand? - He asked.

- Thriving! J and I are back together. We live together and are planning on getting a pup. - I updated the bayern player and he smiled.

- You deserve it but i swear if he fucks up again Mel. - He warned with a serious face.

- Don't worry! - I giggled at his protectiveness. - For how long are you in Madrid?
