Vull estar amb tu (I want to be with you): A Sergi Samper Fan Fic

Chapter 16

Sergi's P.O.V.

I knew it was ridiculous to be nervous because, whether she was physically here or not, she would've been watching me on TV. But still, just knowing that she was here made me a nervous wreck.

The first half flew by and when the ref blew the whistle, I couldn't believe it was over. I looked at the clock and it was, in fact, past the extra minutes of the half. I went into the lockerooms disappointed, not daring to look over at the box where I knew she'd be sitting.

The coach gave us a strategy talk and, after discussing it amongst ourselves, I felt we had a pretty good game plan. I jogged out feeling a bit more confident so I looked up to the box, watching here as she ate some sort of wrap.

She looked up as everyone was filing into the pitch and caught my eye. She smiled and looked down, cleaning some dressing off the corner of her mouth in distress. Oh, what I would do to kiss those lips clean. Yes, I am head-over-heels. And I am not ashamed to admit it.

In fact, I feel pretty proud of the choice I made. She is a mature girl that knows what her priorities are and, for some unfathomble reason, has decided to include me in them. I think she has made me better as a human being with all her love and support. I could not ask for a better girlfriend. I even like our club rivalry. It keeps things interesting.

She waved shyly and I winked at her, a smile on my face. I gave it everything I had on that second half and managed to get a through ball to Denis who took perfect advantage of his position and scored. I ran to the corner to celebrate with them and looked up to see Ana María, the only one standing and cheering amongst the girls, and smiled. I jogged back to my position as I kept my eyes on her and the stadium voice announced: "Unbelievable through-ball from Sergi Samper to a relentless Denis Suárez that beautifully scores the first for Baarrrrcelonaa B."

I kept considering it and it kept sounding sappier and sappier in my head but I could not control my hands. I made a heart with them and winked at her. She shook her head and rolled her eyes but finally gave in: she blew me a kiss with both her hands. She sat back down with a huge grin on her face while nobody else seemed to notice our exchange. I then focused my attention on doing what I do best...

After I showered, I dressed in my sky blue, button-down shirt and dark jeans. A pair of sneakers and a nice watch completed my simple look. Everyone knew that some of us had brought our girlfriends and we wanted them to hang out with the team. Some of us were getting a little more spruced up than usual and the others just wore t-shirts and snap-backs.

The idea was to go to our usual place and, while Ana María had already met most of the guys, have a chance for everyone to be together. Some of them live pretty far away and don't get to visit so often. I walked out of the lockeroom to see the profile of my stunning girlfriend looking into the sunset, propped against the wall, waiting for me.

I moved slowly to see if I could scare her. "Hi, beautiful." I whispered and she gasped. Bingo. I smiled and kissed her just below the ear. "You know I hate it when people scare me." She said, not necessarily with an angry tone. I moved to face her and placed my hands on her hips, pushing her against the wall. "What if I ruin your make-up? Will you be mad about that?" I asked, about two centimeters away from her lips. She shook her head slowly and I moved in for the kiss when I felt someone pull on my shoulder in the other direction.

"All right, love birds, I'm hungry. You can make out all you want on your own time. Let's goo!" Said Gómez as he held me by the neck and I chuckled. "See you there, buddy." He added before letting me out of his choke hold. I rubbed my neck and looked back to see her walking toward me with her head bent and her hands tied together in front of her. She finally reached me and wanted to keep walking but I put my body in her way.

I knew her: "Hey. Don't feel ashamed. These guys are like my brothers. All jokes aside, I trust them with my life. He's just fooling around." She smiled and finally looked up at me. "I know. I'm just not used to PDAs and..." "No one's looking." I said as I took her chin between my fingers and pecked her lips with mine. "Ready?" She nodded and her curly hair bounced around her face. She took my hand in both of hers as I led her to the car and we were off.
