Chase ● Antoine Griezmann

03

The morning after was never as much fun. For Chase, it couldn't get much worse then how it had started; waking up next to Griezmann. Most people quickly packed up their stuff and left, leaving only a small group to clean up the whole sports hall. Chase danced to the music that was played through the hall while moping the beer-stained floor. Chase reached her best friend who was moping less cheerfully. "What's with the sad face? You seemed to be enjoying yourself pretty much yesterday, with my archenemy!" Chase glared at her best friend. Emma rolled her eyes. ''I'm pretty sure you're the one who shared the bed with him tonight.'' Emma joked. Now it was Chase's turn to roll her eyes since she obviously had explained the situation to her best friend last night. ''Ah come on Chase, he's a hot football player, what do you expect me to do? Ignore him when he talks to me?'' Emma innocently raised her hands up, dropping the mop. Chase just groaned and kept quiet, knowing Emma was right. The mop was skillfully picked up and given to Emma. ''Rough night?'' Lucas reacted to Chase's groan after turning from Emma towards Chase.  Chase just nodded, not knowing what to say. ''We'll have to find a solution for that then, next basketball camp.'' he smirked and walked away. Emma shot a smug look to her best friend, earning her a soft punch. 

''I think we should go out tonight.'' Fernando spoke while he and his sister were lounging in their garden. ''What? We barely slept last night!'' Chase yawned, her body tired from the short night. ''Please, please, please! I have my first pre-season practice tomorrow evening, I want to go out now that I still can.'' Fernando pleaded. ''That's even more reason not to go!'' Chase said. ''No, no, it's just a meet-up, not an actual practice, technically I don't even have to be there, but I'll go, because I'm a nice person.'' He smiled. ''Alright, sure.'' Chase gave in. ''But you better pay for all the expensive cocktails that I like, because after yesterday, I cannot see any more beer.'' Chase exclaimed causing them both to laugh.

''I told Emma to meet us here'' Chase spoke when her and Fernando had arrived in front of the club. ''I told Antoine to meet us here'' Fernando replied,  ''What?!'' she exclaimed, he hadn't told her he'd ask Antoine to come too. But he didn't reply, squinting his eyes in the distance. She followed his gaze, finding Antoine and Emma, seemingly deeply engaged in a conversation, she turned back to her brother. ''I really need to get a drink.'' he said, running his hands through his hair, walking inside the club leaving his sister outside. ''Wow, so much for being a good brother.'' she spoke under her breath. Knowing she would never find her brother alone in that crowded club, she was left with no choice but to walk towards Emma and Antoine. ''Hey'' she said quietly, interrupting their conversation. ''Chase!'' her best friend yelled excitedly greeting her with two kisses, leaving Antoine no choice but to do the same. ''You already drank?'' Chase asked Emma after she smelled her breath, scented with alcohol. Emma nodded happily, clearly already a bit drunk. Antoine laughed. ''Yeah, I was happy I found her, where's Nando?'' Antoine said, looking around searching for his friend. ''He already went inside.'' Chase shrugged. Antoine gave her a confused look. ''Let's go find him then'' he grabbed both girls by the hand and lead the way, Chase let him, knewing that was the only way they wouldn't lose each other, she accidentally gripped his hand very tight, causing him to look at her from over his shoulder with a smile, checking if everything was okay. It wasn't as hard as she had thought to find her brother in the club, there was a circle of girls around him while he leaned on the bar with a drink in his hand, like always, she had forgotten what it meant that he was a famous footballer. ''Well, if that isn't who we were looking for'' Antoine grinned, letting go of the girls' hands. Right at that moment, the first few chords of Chase and Fernando's favorite song started playing. Fernando's eyes directly shot up, looking for his sister over all the girls. Chase smiled to herself, he was a good brother after all, making eye contact with him. He quickly made his way through the girls and the other people towards his sister. He took her hand and twirled her around, she directly started laughing, they had a specific dance on this song, and since Fernando already had a few drinks, it was really funny, but she joined him anyway. Antoine was quickly in a similar position to Fernando's a few moments ago, but all he was paying attention to was the pair of siblings on the dance floor, looking at them in awe. The song ended and Fernando and Chase came walking towards Antoine, all sweaty and laughing. Chase was thankful that Antoine had asked the girls to go away. ''Wait, where's Emma?'' Chase questioned while sipping the cocktail she had just ordered through a straw. Antoine put a hand on Chase's shoulder and pointed towards a very drunk Emma, who was kissing a stranger. Chase let out a sigh of relief, that meant her best friend didn't actually like-like her archenemy. ''We should probably get her home'' Fernando laughed when she almost fell when the kiss ended. Antoine and Chase nodded in agreement. 

''Wait, where are you guys going?'' Chase said as Fernando, Antoine and Emma headed right when they had to go left. ''Antoine has an apartment here in the center of Madrid, it's easier if we just go there'' Fernando explained, motioning at Emma's state. Oh yes, professional football players, they have apartments in the center of Madrid, Chase reminded herself. After only a few minutes walking, they reached Antoine's apartment. The living room had a king size bed in front of the tv instead of a couch, and in the bedroom there was another king size bed. So it was kind of like a double hotelroom. Chase wondered what he used this apartment for but quickly shook the thought that crossed her mind out. Emma, still drunk, took her shoes off and flopped down on the bed in the bedroom in her jeans and top. She was fast asleep directly. Chase chuckled at the scene and followed the boys who had gone into the living room. Antoine threw an Atletico shirt her way. ''Bathroom's on the right'' he added. She nodded and went to change. When she was done she quickly wanted to run to the bedroom because Griezmann's jersey was smaller than her brother's that she usually wore, and barely covered her bum. But she was stopped in her tracks when she saw what her brother and Antoine were doing. Her brother and Antoine were laying on the bed in the living room playing fifa, but it was the scoreboard on the screen that caught her attention. ''You're letting him win?!'' she almost screamed, trying to refrain herself but not succeeding when she literally ran towards the bed and jumped on top of Antoine so she could yank the controller out of his hands. ''I haven't let him win since he came back!'' Chase panicked trying to score a goal but missing, there wasn't enough place for the three of them on the bed, causing Chase to be still laying on top of Antoine. Fernando laughed. ''Sorry to tell you sis, but those days are over.'' He said as he scored a second goal. ''Nooo!'' she dropped her head. ''What? You're giving up already?'' Antoine asked, she nodded, seeing there was only 1 minute left. Antoine tried to stand up from underneath Chase and when he succeeded she was now laying on her stomach on the bed and he grabbed the controller out of her hands. He tried to get on the bed but ended up laying on top of Chase because the size of the bed hadn't changed, there still was no place. Normally, Chase didn't allow herself to feel anything in connection to Antoine but hate, but right now she sure as hell felt herself get warm when his crotch area pressed on her bum because of the position they were in, and she blamed the cocktails for the fact that she didn't move away. Instead she was still laying down, watching the Fifa game when Antoine scored. ''2-1!! Ahhh come on Antoine!!'' The cocktails had definitely just kicked in. ''2-2!! Nando, in your face, this still means you haven't won since you got ba-'' but before she could finish her sentence, Antoine scored a third goal, right before the end whistle. Chase's eyes widened. ''Antoine!! Yes!! I love you!!'' she tried to come out from underneath him by pushing Fernando off the bed with her legs, this would of course never have worked if Fernando wasn't weakened by the alcohol in his system. He groaned on the floor and Chase stuck her tongue out to him. ''Thank you Antoine, thank you! You're the best.'' she said while giving him kisses on the cheek. ''Alright, alright, enough'' Fernando said, coming up from the ground. ''Give me back my sleeping place and go to your bed'' he continued. She quickly stood up and gave her brother a hug. ''Loser'' she whispered in his ear. He rolled his eyes and she left the room.

''I don't think you should buy her those cocktails again.'' Antoine chuckled. ''Why not? I like her when she doesn't hate my bestfriend.''
