-My head hurts. – Jane groaned from the couch.

-Here eat something first. The aspirin is on the side.

-Thank you, Audrey! – She smiled and took a sip of some fresh orange juice.

-Hey, no problem! Did you have fun yesterday?

-I did. – Jane blushed, probably thinking about Mario.

-If you want to talk about it...- I was hesitant to finish, because I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.

-How about when I'm completely sober. Because my head is killing me. I don't know how I'll work today.

-I bet it won't be a busy day – most of our colleagues are probably still drunk. – I laughed.

-Everyone, except you and Thomas.

Now it was my turn to have flushed cheeks. I didn't even know why, because nothing happened. But just the thought of dancing with him, made my heart skip a beat. It was all too new and exciting and I still couldn't understand how all of this was happening. It seemed so surreal.

-So did anything happen between you guys? – Jane asked.

-Not really. We just danced and talked.

-That's weird.

-Why?

-Because while dancing with Mario, he told me that Mesut wants to set you two up.

-That doesn't make sense.

-Well...it was supposed to be a secret but Thomas went through a break-up and the guys...

-It's better if I don't know, Jane. – I said calmly. I wanted to know what was with all the teasing but I didn't want to get my hopes up.

-Of course, you're right. I'm sorry. By the way, thank you for telling me about the paparazzi.

-Well, no worries! I'm just glad that we avoided the whole scandal.

-Yeah, don't want to get you even more work. – She laughed.

We ate our breakfast in silence and headed out for work. As I entered the office, I could just feel how James will be on my case for dancing with Thomas.

-Well, there you are.

-Good morning, James. – I already sighed.

-Care to explain why you're on this picture with Thomas Muller? – He replied, showing me a gossip paper.

-Oh come on, James. I'm in the background and you can hardly see me. Thomas is smiling and being nice. What's the problem?

-The problem is that you have to be careful.

-I am. I warned the others so there won't be any problems.

-James, cut her some slack. She did her job! – Frank stood up and defended me.

-Okay, fine. Just be careful. – James shrugged his shoulders and went to his office.

-Thank you, Frank! – I smiled and sat opposite of him.

-Well, your tweets yesterday hit a million likes. That has never happened before. So it won't be cool if we lost our vital team member.

-Thanks, again! What is wrong with James these days? He seems more worried than usual.

-Ah, you know how he gets during important matches. Anyway – back to work!

-You're right.

He translated some short interviews with the players and I posted them on our social media. I had this idea to make gifs with the best reactions and they got really popular. A lot of people retweeted them and came up with different captions.
