June 25 - Nick's Hotel Room 

Nick: Less you ready 

Alessia: Give me a second finding a Jacket

Nick: You can have mine

Alessia: Walking into the Room, You sure you won't get cold

Nick: I'll be 'ight, rather you were warm than I overheat myself 

Alessia: Alright come on then

Nick: Can't believe I'm about to go to a Three Lions Game

Alessia: I know you wouldn't do it if I didn't ask

Nick: Your right I wouldn't, not even if Hannah or Niamh asked

Alessia: Comforting

Rhein Energie Stadion - 15 Minutes in to the Second Half

Nick: Kobbie has been the only bright spark and he's only been on 15 Minutes

Alessia: That's been the general consensus, him, Cole and Adam are who the Crowd have been screaming for too start

Nick: I'm surprised Ad's hasn't got any minutes yet, he breaks the lines well and he'd give Kobbie more attacking freedom

Alessia: Yeah, he's brilliant, I'm surprised there wasn't more rotation in the Lineup

Nick: Yeah, no Gomez, Eze, Konsa, Toney, Ollie, Jarrod or Ad's it's incredible the lack of rotation when the Backup's are that good

Alessia: Luke's down there

Nick: Luke's also injured and shouldn't be here

Alessia: How do you know

Nick: Cause Scott told me

Alessia: Smiling, Of course he did

Nick: We got some inside knowledge, the only one that scares me is that man on the Bench that hasn't come on yet

Alessia: Who Cole

Nick: Yeah, he terrifies me with how good he is and how he sees the Game and the Pitch when he's on it

Alessia: Who do you compare him too in that sense

Nick: Busquests or Xavi, he's just different 

Alessia: What about Rodri

Nick: Good, but predictable, he's readable, someone like Xavi, Busquests or Palmer there readable it's just a lot harder to do so cause of how quickly they think in Small spaces that even the best tiki-taka guys struggle with

Alessia: What about Mainoo

Nick: Scholes level of reading the game, so the level below

Alessia: Interesting, expand

Nick: He knows when to grab the game by the scruff of the Neck and dictate the tempo and where he needs to be positionally to do so

Alessia: So you looking forward to the game against Italy

Nick: I am, I think we can cause them some issues especially physically if we press them well, and I think we can play out of their press well

Alessia: You saying you can bully Calafiori and Bastoni

Nick: And all their other Defenders, yeah, yes I am

Alessia: I love how confident you are in yourself

Nick: If I wasn't, I wouldn't be playing for my National Team

Alessia: Well scoring two should be easy right

Nick: Let's agree on One and we can do whatever you want

Alessia: Deal

Nick: Now don't be upset at me when we put them out

Alessia: I won't be cause I love you and want you to succeed tho' my Grandfather might not be so forgiving

Nick: I'm never getting to Marry you in-front of him if we put Italy out am I

Alessia: Maybe you might be lucky

The Couple burst into Laughter and Alessia still wearing Nick's Jacket leans into him as they see through the rest of the England Game Extra Time and everything as England got by Slovakia with a 3-1 Win thanks to Jude, Harry Kane and England's Future Starting Number 9 Logan Kenway which Nick has scouted and seen the Numbers for at Barca and let's just say him and Lewa must enjoy the Friendly Competition in the Golden Boot Race 

But it was soon time to head to the Hotel after Dinner and a Long conversation about families and how tough it will be for Nick to get approval to even propose cause of her Family being of Italian descent and well they are known for being very Cautious about the Women in their Family getting Married but Nick ever confident in his Charming self is sure he'll be fine once they see how he can make Alessia laugh and Smile especially with how often he compliments Alessia on her Personality and how Gorgeous she is no matter what she looks like, plus the fact he's 6'5 and built like a Wall that would protect Alessia whenever needed will curr favour

Nick's Hotel Room

Billy: So how was the Date Night

Nick: Talkative

Billy: Aye, what did yeis talk about

Nick: England's threats, then on to how if we knock Italy out I'm gonna have to either wait till Less' Grandfather Passes or be extra Charming for me to Marry her

Billy: You think we've got a shot

Nick: I know we do

Billy: You and your belief man, it's something else

Nick: How else am I supposed to live, anyway let's get to bed and sleep long day the Morrow

Alessia's Hotel Room 

Tooney: Right spill how was Date Night

Alessia: I can't even sit down first

Hannah: Nope now spill

The Group of Lionesses bursts out laughing as Alessia takes Nick's Jacket off cause yes she kept it and sits down on the Bed

Hannah: Right you comfy, now spill

Alessia: Alright well we started out with just enjoying the Game as best we can without me losing it at Southgate and then we spoke about England's Dangers and then we spoke about his game against Italy

Niamh: How's he feeling

Erin: I hope he's up for it

Alessia: Oh he's more than up for it, he wants to bully Calafiori and stuff 

Aggie: Well if anyone can it's him, I've seen him against Thiago and for all Silva's experience he still struggles for any kind of positive against Nick and that's Thiago Silva you know, that's no slouch

Hannah: He's just different isn't he

Alessia: Well he's gonna have to be especially if they do put Italy out

Tooney: Grandad might not react well to you dating a Player who's put his Nation out

Alessia: Your telling me, imagine the conversation being him wanting to Marry me

Again the Group laughs

Alessia: But no, he'll be alright, my Grandad wants me to be happy but if he's scared of meeting Grandad then he knows how much I mean to him and he knows how much my Family means to me

Hannah: He's a True Gentleman really, he doesn't have an issue with putting Ladies first

Alessia: I do want to see how my Family take to him after the Euros cause it'll be interesting for certain, now unless your name is Tooney Mush to your own Hotel Room 

The Group smirks and laughs but slowly disperse as Alessia and Ella get ready for Bed and Alessia texts Nick Goodnight dozes off to Sleep meanwhile in Nick's Hotel Room him and Billy are already long asleep
