'you're really spending christmas with sergio and his family?' asks chloe as i pack my suitcase.
'yeah is there a problem?' i ask as i fold my clothes into the suitcase.
'oh no, not at all! i've just never seen you have a such serious relationship.' says chloe shrugging.
'honestly i couldn't ask for anything better than our relation and how it works. the only thing i would change is the distance. but sergio did ask me if i wanted to move in with him.' i say shrug.
'wait what?'
'he asked me if-'
'i heard you the first time, what did you say?'
'well i said no. i mean my job's here, my family well most of the time and especially you! i told sergio that and he was very understanding about it.' i say shrugging.
'dira if you really love sergio, move to madrid with him. i'm pretty sure he knows enough people to find you a job and also if i ask antoine i bet he could find somewhere for you. honestly if he makes you happy go there! you have to put yourself first for once.'
'you really mean that?'
'of course i do! it is up to you what you do with your life but if you do decide to go, i'll be happy for you! if you ever needed me i would be on the first plane out.'
'i don't know it just seems all too fast.' i say shrugging, 'we haven't even actually done it yet.'
'you haven't had sex?' asks chloe loudly.
'chloe, lower your voice!'
'no one can hear me. you've been together nearly four months and you haven't had sex yet, he must be pretty special.'
'i told you i just want to take things at my own speed.'

it's four days before christmas and i've just arrived in madrid. i told sergio i was going to arrive on christmas eve but i wanted to surprise him by coming earlier. hopefully we can spend a day or two together before i meet my family.
i just arrived at the madrid airport, alice has come to pick me up and take me to where real madrid train so i can surprise him.
'adira!' says alice smiling and waving.
'alice hi!' i say smiling and walking over to her.
'how are you?' i ask her as i give her a hug.
'i'm great! and you?'
'good, good. slightly nervous about meeting sergio's family.'
'don't be nervous, álvaro has met them and says they are lovely people.' says alice as we go into her car.
alice turns on the radio as we talk during the drive to the real madrid training grounds.
around ten minutes later, we arrive at the grounds.
'do you think zidane will mind if i turn up?' i ask alice as we walk towards the entrance.
'not at all! i mean you're rarely here compared to some of the other women who turn up at every training session.' says alice rolling her eyes.
'do you go to their sessions?'
'no, i've been to like two. i prefer going to the matches at the bernabéu.' she says.
'right there they are.' says alice as we walk outside where the team are training.
'do you think i should call him or something?' i ask him.
'don't do anything, let's just stay here and wait till he notices.' says alice sitting down.
'knowing sergio, he won't notice.' i say laughing as i watch them do some training exercices.
we watch them for around ten minutes when they stop and listen to zidane. álvaro looks in our direction and looks at me briefly before looking at me again in shock. he looks at sergio then at me but i put a finger to my mouth and he nods.
after he's done talking to them, they are given a break and go and fetch their water.
'adira!' says álvaro giving me a big hug.
'hey álvarito.' i say smiling.
'what are you doing here? you're not supposed to be here for another two days.'
'i decided to come early and surprise sergio.' i say as i notice he comes out with a bottle of water, still not acknowledging my existence.
'he's got his back to you, go now adira.' says alice. i get up from the seat and walk up to sergio. he's currently talking to james but i put a finger to my mouth just as he looks in my direction.
i put my hands over sergio's eyes.
'guess who?' i say with a smile.
'baby!' says sergio turning around to face me, picking me up and giving me a kiss.
'i've missed you so much.' he says as he smiles in the kiss.
'i've missed you too even though i've been here ten minutes and you didn't even acknowledge i was here.' i say laughing, my arms still around his neck.
'ten minutes? i missed spending ten minutes with you?' he says in shock.
'oh how i like to annoy you ramos.' i say laughing.
'i still love you just as much.'
i hate this so much but bare with me fam
