I'm with you // Adnan Januzaj

Chapter 2 // Adnan

ADNAN

"I don't know Felli, but I don't think the gaffer would be too pleased if we bring girls to our rooms" I looked at him curiously, was he really serious when he said to look for American girls? My dad would kill me if someone would release another story to the press about me in the wrong way.

Last time didn't go so well, a year ago, plastered on the front page of Manchester Evening News said "Adnan's a horny little red devil" which immensely didn't go too well with mama and pop.

Never again.

"Never mind, pretend I didn't think about it." Felli responded slightly annoyed. "I don't like how you and I are the only ones who are single, ya know?"

"Hey, nothing wrong with being single, lads" Memphis said as he sat down on our table with Daley following a few seconds after him. "No need to settle down yet, Adi, we're still young."

"What's all the single talk about, boys?" Daley asked while fixing his chair.

"Adnan wants to hook up with American girls." Felli instantly replied a little too loud and smirked at the boys, to which I scoffed, looking at him confused. "Hey! You were the needy one right now, I'm fine being single, mate."

Andreas found an empty seat beside Daley and joined our conversation, "Did I hear Adnan wants to get laid on tour?" He joined in loudly saying.

Bastard.

"Hey! Boys. No fun and games, aye!" Ryan passed by our table overhearing our conversation which made everyone perk up and listen to our talk.

Wazza, the latest to pass our table, looked at me funnily, "Oy mate, erm no fecking around the tour arite?" I just nodded, completely embarrassed at how everyone thinks I'm the needy one. Fucking Fellaini.

Luke joined our 7-seater table, with now only 1 vacant seat left to my right, was showing us a snapchat of his girlfriend. Luke, who used to be my favorite wingman for the past year he had been in Manchester, has now settled down with a lovely girl from England. Lucky lad, I thought to myself.

As we started eating our salad, two teenagers who looked strikingly alike, entered the room quickly and everyone silenced staring at the newcomers.

Siblings, probably? Didn't matter. Wow. She's a beauty.

"Yeah she is—" Memphis replied.

Did I just say that out loud?

Everyone then looked at me, "Yeah you did, Adi." Felli replied, still chuckling at me, "Who are they?"

"Fuck. What are they doing here?" Memphis suddenly got nervous, all his confidence earlier had now disappeared and he started playing with his clam chowder.

"Memphis' ultimate crush is back, lads!" Daley playfully whispered only to be heard by the people in our table.

"Are they twins? They sure look too alike. Kind of scary." Andreas whispered back.

"Yeah, the Walsh twins. Grandchildren of the boss." Daley replied looking at Memphis. "They helped us out during the World Cup in Brazil, well Holland team of course."

"Don't tell me they're helping out this pre-season tour too, Christ." Memphis warily looked away.

"Why are you suddenly nervous, mate?" Luke teased Memphis.

From the past month we've hung out, this was the first time I've seen Memphis tensed over anything. Probably an ex?

"He wishes!" Daley teased Memphis.

Did I say that out loud, again?

The Walsh twins whom I have yet to know their names, went directly to the buffet table, avoiding looks from everyone in the room. After they got their food, they were searching for 2 empty seats. As they passed by our table, Daley stood up, "Hey Alfie! Great to see you man!" Alfie, who I presume is the boy, went to our table and hugged Daley with the girl awkwardly following her twin.

"Nice to see you too, Dals! Missed beating you at FIFA man!" Alfie joked. Daley then said, "Hey you, Candy Rae and I have missed you," while hugging the twin sister. Wow, she's even prettier up close.

Memphis then stood up to hug Alfie and he uncomfortably tried to hug the sister to which she just smiled and accepted. Daley introduced everyone in the table in a clockwise manner, "Lads, this is Alfie and Ava Walsh."

Ava. Her name is Ava. What a beautiful name.

"And this is Felli, Luke, Andreas and Adnan." She shook my hand first since I was nearest to her. "Adnin—I mean, Adnan." I stuttered as her brother raised his eyebrows at me.

"Hi, I'm Ava."

Even her voice is cute.

Fuck.
