I saw the sparkles in his eyes. I saw the joy in his smile. He absolutely loved it. I think he didn't regret going together with me. And I was so glad Vincent gave his ticket to my dad.
Me and Vincent have been growing closer and closer. He is my best and only friend. We still go to RSCA when we are able to, but this time he said I could take my dad with me.
" Dad! That's Dennis over there! The blonde guy on the right! " I pointed at my favourite.
" He's doing great "
" He's the best "
The crowd was awesome again, as Always! Me and my dad sang along and we had lots of fun. And of course our team won.
After the game in the car, my dad started the conversation: " thank you for taking me here, you made me feel how I haven't felt in years. This team is my life and it will Always be. I don't know why I stopped watching it, but deep inside, they were still there "
" It's okay dad, I knew this was what you needed "
" I found a great job too "
" You did? " I was so glad my dad found a job here in Belgium.
" Your mum is going to stay home and I'm going to work "
" That's amazing news, dad! "
" I know, I know, I'm starting to like this new life "
" Me too... Can I try playing soccer, dad? " I just had to ask it but I had better waited for a few more days.
" No " he said seriously.
I was dissapointed, but I didn't want to ruin his happiness so I just decided to shut my mouth. No one of us said a thing for the rest of the trip home.

" I'm glad you had fun " Vincent said, while he put on his hoodie, because it was raining again.
" Me too... "
" Did you ask? "
" Yeah, he said no "
" Give him some time... I wouldn't say this if I hadn't known about your brother "
" Yeah "
" Isn't there anyone else in your family who plays soccer then? "
" I don't have family "
" Everyone has a family "
" Not me " my parents told me we had no family. He told me they lived far away and that they never wanted to see us again. I never got to know why.
" Uhh well... what if you tell them I'll play too? "
" Are you serious you want to play soccer with me? "
" Yeah, why not " his smile was adorable.
" That's so great " I smiled and hugged him. I felt his hand on my back and it made me feel warm inside. We cuddled for a minute and then I let go.
" I'm glad you bumpted into me three months ago " he looked straight into my eyes.
" Same " I said. I was kinda frozen, because I felt his hands touching my waist. It felt great but weird at the same time because he is my best friend. And I don't want to lose my best friend.
" Vincent, what are you doing " he came closer and my mind was filled with all feelings you could ever think of.
" Clara, I love you " he whispered.
