HOLDING HIS LEG, dennis bit his lip, heavily breathing. he was currently curled up in the middle of the pitch with tightly closed eyes.
one second he was playing football, and the next he suddenly felt a sharp pang of pain in his left leg which was something he definitely didn't need right now.
currently, he was playing for romania against netherlands, and they were already suffering as they hadn't scored a goal yet.
tension was high, and the pressure to score was increasing. however, that's not what he was focused on.
the game had come to a halt with the medical team surrounding him, ready to offer whatever support that he needed.
meanwhile, rihanna had been sent to grab a drink for her sister, and so when she arrived to see no ball being played, her brows furrowed in confusion.
"what happened?" she asked her older sister, who had been watching the match while she was away. "someone's injured, i think."
"romania or—" "yeah." she sighed.
looking over at her sister, she frowned before converting her gaze to the field.
to her surprise, she had spotted the injured and limping romanian player, who just so happened to look up at her, at the same time.
"damn." he softly mumbled under his breath.
his intention was to just skim his eyes around the stadium to distract himself from the pain, but he ended up focusing onto something much unexpected. rihanna had suddenly caught his eye, and to say that she had him captivated would definitely be an understatement.
he looked entranced, admiring her features from afar. it was almost as if he didn't even realise what setting he was in, or what even happened beforehand.
distraction as she was, she was stunning in his eyes. the way her face was soft with concern, the way her hair fell almsot perfectly down her shoulder, the way her skin was glowing in the sun.
she was angelic. in both, her appearance, and in the fact that she had distracted him from the majority of the pain he was once experiencing.
rihanna, on the other hand, became nervous under his gaze. the way he was almost analysing her made her cheeks slowly begin to burn, and she thickly swallowed.
"hello? earth to riri?" her sister waved her hand in her face, blocking her view and forcing rihanna's eyes onto her sister. frustratingly sighing, she spoke up. "what?"
noticing her sudden agitation, her sister's lips began to curl into a sly grin. rihanna, realising this, let out an exasperated sigh, as she waited for her sisters accusations to come to life.
"someone's got a crush!" her sister taunted, in a sing-songy voice. letting out a scoff, rolling her eyes. "you're so immature."
"and i do not." rihanna was quick to deny it, but the way her heart began to beat harder in her chest said otherwise.
"mmmhm," her older sister hummed. "that's what they all say."
for what felt like the millionth time, rihanna rolled her eyes, letting out a huff in response and crossing her arms like a pouty child who didn't get the candy they wanted.
looking back over at the pitch, rihanna noticed his eyes were still on her. but instead, he had a small smile on his lips.
denis was watching the whole reaction from the bottom of the stadium, and although not being able to perfectly lip read or hear any word they said, he had gotten an idea of what happened from rihanna and her flushed expression.
smiling like an idiot, he looked down at the field, which rihanna let out a sigh to, partially relieved but also dissatisfied as his eyes were no longer on her.
the loud noise of the whistle blowing filled the air, indicating the beginning of the match once more. the pair of them now had to focus on the field. but their minds had other plans, completely focused on each other and their little moment with each other.
