It hits different when it's you

Chapter twenty two

"Come on I'm sure Dianne is already here, let's go get the introductions over with, then you can scream at the team all you like" your mum rolled her eyes as you led her to the main reception it was decidedly more higher end then what you had been treated to outside with a single man in a suit at a podium.

"Good afternoon ladies" your mum grinned looking around wide eyed.

"Good afternoon, we're guests of Dianne if you could please let her know we're here?" This was the most heart pounding moment the possible denial, what if for whatever reason you couldn't get in, what if he had you down as his guests not Dianne, what if Dianne wasn't here yet... you could feel yourself spiralling as the man looked up with a smile

"Ah, yes Alexander-Arnold. One moment please" you stood off to the side with your mum looking around the luxurious room the dark wood white walls splashed with Red throughout the space everything shone.

"Miss?" The man signalled to you and your heart sank you let go of your mum and walked back over to the podium.

"Trent's brother will be down to collect you in a moment" you nodded that was it?, your heart calmed slightly.

"Enjoy the match" he added, not two minutes later did the lift arrive opening to reveal Tyler.

"Mum that's Tyler, Trent's older brother" you quickly told her as you approached the tall man who had such a likeness to your boyfriend.

"I can tell love" she chuckled completely relaxed.

"Hi Tyler" he welcomed you with a smile and open arms.

"Abbey, great to finally see you here." The teasing began right away. Rolling your eyes you swatted his chest.

"Haha, you know that he's relentless until he gets what he wants" Tyler only smirked pleased by his brothers trait.

"He? Oh that's right, I'm to treat you like a competition winner. Is Trent your favourite player I'll see if he can sign something for you after?" His tone was teasing and made you squirm, it was silly but when Trent mentioned about pretending you'd won a competition it did make you feel more at ease.

You'd considered it for a moment before he'd scoffed at the idea.

"Where are my manners, you must be Abbeys mum. I can see where she gets her looks from" he lay the charm on so thick you were almost gagging into your hand he was like this so much, he grinned at you as he had your mum blushing shaking her hand then bringing her in for a hug the three of you made your way back to the lift and up to the box you presumed.

Introductions continued when you met with his other brother Marcel, and his mum.

As Trent had promised there wasn't anyone else in the box bar the staff that would provide lunch, even still that made you feel a little uneasy.

You knew you were being paranoid but they had to wonder who you and your mum were and why you were recieved so well by Trents family.

Tyler took you out of the box and to your seats for the game showing you the stadium as few fans made there way inside to their own seats.

The view was something else.

You'd never been to any football ground so you weren't exactly sure of what to expect but the place was something else.

"He'll be so pleased that you came Abbey" Tyler's serious tone had you looking back at him.

"Yeah, I know" he gave your shoulder a little squeeze and left you to admire the view for a moment, when your phone pinged seeing a text from Trent you were surprised.

About to head out to warm up, see you soon

Your heart fluttered at the thought of seeing him in what you considered to be his natural habitat, chucking to yourself you slid your phone back into your pocket and looked up as the fans inside the stadium began clapping, the team emerged clapping back at the crowd as they made their way on to the pitch to do some drills.

You spotted him along side Curtis bringing up the rear with his white training bib on. they appeared to be laughing at something together before getting down to do some stretches, try as you might you couldn't take your eyes from him.

When he looked up in the direction of his box. You felt your breath catch, could he see you up here? Other people were already in there seats you were a face in the crowd but you felt it when his eyes settled on you he offered up perhaps one of the biggest smiles he'd ever given you as you felt your heart fall over itself
