I'm sure you won't cheer for the wrong team. We'll be wearing white. Armenia wear a completely different color. You'll be fine, love.

MARCO

The drive was short, and the next time, we'd probably go walking, but I didn't want to make Eloise more uncomfortable than she already was. I kept thinking about the kiss while driving. Her kiss, so delicate, so full of love? I didn't know, but I park my ride where I have to, and both me and Eloise get out of the car. I look at her again, and she probably doesn't even realize how pretty she is. I'll have to leave her here alone, but I'm sure she'd enjoy it more to look at me and the guys training than to be all by herself in a small hotel room.

"Maybe you could continue on your final thesis?" I mention when I see that she brought her laptop with her. She mentioned that she was in her final year of Journalism and she had to continue on her Bachelor thesis, which probably had to be done by the end of the month.

"That's actually why I brought my laptop with me, to get some work done, and to look at you, of course," she winks at me, which was extremely adorable.

"Very smart, maybe you could interview some of the players," I tease her. She giggled.

"I don't need any interviews right not for my thesis," she says.

"You never even told me what it is about," I say and look at her. Once we're both in, after some explaining that Eloise is not a threat of any kind, I guide her to the place where she can easily work on her thesis in peace. I make my way to the changing rooms and get dressed in my sport gear. I see some of my teammates and I greet them, obviously. When I spot Mario, drinking a bottle of water, I walk up to him. He smiles when he sees me walking up to him.

"Ah Marco," Mario says, "Finally got the girl, I saw?" I nod.

"Well, kind of, where is Lillian?" I ask him.

"She's in Munich. I mean, we're not that close...yet," he says and smiles. Mario was my best friend, and he still is, even after he transferred to FC Bayern Munich, though I still hope he'll be back at Dortmund someday.

"You should bring her some time, possible to Brazil?" I suggest him. He nods and smiles.

"I was gonna ask her, but I'm not sure what she's going to say," Mario says. He hears a whistle, "You coming?" I nod and we jog onto the field to start our final training before tomorrow. I look around and see Eloise tucked into a corner with her laptop on her lap, typing away. I smile and then look at the rest of the team. Everyone looks fit and determined to win the game tomorrow and to qualify for the World Championships starting very soon. This month even. I was ready too and we'd hear the selection today, so we could train accordingly.

An hour or two later, the training is done and Eloise is still typing away on her tiny laptop and paging through a couple of books. I walk up to her and I'm sweating and I probably smell extremely bad.

"Hey there," I say as I sit next to her, "Don't come too close, I reek."

"You really do, I can smell it from up here," Eloise jokes.
