january 29 - london, england - adriane pov

"Alright, we're here!" Eric pulled into the driveway of a house that was bigger than any house I'd ever been in.

"You live here? All by yourself?" I asked it awe.

"And my dog, and my girlfriend." He chuckled.

"You have a girlfriend? Since when? Is she home? Of course your dog is, I mean your girlfriend." I asked sheepishly.

"Yeah actually, she's really excited to meet you. And since like a year ago." He chuckled as we unbuckled our seatbelts.

"What?! I don't even know her name, or what she looks like, or anything! I didn't even know she existed until 10 seconds ago." I said, exasperated.

"Calm down, you'll be fine. She's the sweetest girl ever, you'll love her. Oh, and her name is Maria." He reassured me and grabbed my suitcase from the back of his Range Rover.

I sighed as I swung my backpack onto my back and grabbed the handle of my suitcase as I followed Eric up the steps to the door. He pushed it open and I followed him in.

"Hi pups!" Eric called. Straight away there was a prancing black lab in front of us. After he got him to calm down, Eric took my luggage and disappeared up the stairs.
Right after he left a blonde woman holding a spoon peeled around the corner.

"Oh hello! You must be Adriane, Dele's girlfriend! I've heard so much about you, I'm Maria."

"It's so nice to meet you Maria! And I'm not really Dele's girlfriend, but.. yeah." I said awkwardly.

"Oh. Well that's awkward." She giggled. "I'm just making some breakfast, would you like to join me? You must be hungry after that flight." She offered.

I nodded graciously and followed her in to the kitchen.

"So you and Dele. You met on Instagram?" She asked.

"Yeah." I chuckled. "I think it was Harry Winks who commented on one of my posts calling him out, and it just went from there." I explained.

"Cute." She said as she placed a plate of eggs and toast in front of me. "He doesn't know you're here, right?"

"Nope. He has no idea. I think he thinks I'm on a flight back to America." I responded through a mouthful of eggs. Maria and I continued to talk, learning about each other.

A few minutes later Eric came back down the stairs, changed into an actual outfit. "Adri, I put your bag in a guest room, even though  sure you'll be staying with Dele tonight." He smirked. "I've got to go to training now, but I can send a car for you later?" He proposed.

"I can just Uber." I offered.

"Alright." He responded. "I'll let the security know you're coming. Just tell them your name and that you're there for me." He explained. He walked over to Maria and placed a kiss on her lips. "See you babe."

Once he was gone I grinned at Maria. "You guys are so cute!"

"I'm sure you and Dele will be too." She assured.

"I don't know, as weird as it is to say we've never even touched each other technically." I thought out loud.

"Well good thing you will today! I can already tell you two will be the cutest." She continued to assure me.
