In the middle (Jesse Lingard/ Marcus Rashford fanfic)

Chapter 12

27th June 2018
Amanda's POV-
Today was match day for sweden and we were so exited. We all knew it was going to be a hard match to win. But we were all so exited over the match regardless.
At half time the score was 0-0, Mexico were more dominant and seemed to be winning. The Germany and South Korea match was also currently 0-0.
In the 50th minuet sweden scores and all of us went wild, in the 60th minuet we got a penalty and it was 2-0 to sweden. In the 74th minuet Mexico had scored an own goal and it looked like sweden was coming out 1st in the group which was unexpected and crazy.
You could see all the Mexico fans looking at the Germany match on their phones. All the Mexico fans started cheering which meant South Korea had scored.
By the end of the 90 minuets sweden had won 3-0 and were first in the group, Mexico were also trough coming second in the group. Some how the former champions finished last in the group after losing 2-0 to Korea.
No one expected that to happen it was all so crazy, obviously sweden didn't expect to come this far specially in the group we were in.
As all the supporters headed out of the stadium we started walking down so we could congratulate the guys. All the guys were coming towards us and there were hugs and tears.
"Come down here" Isaac said to me and the rest.
"Okay, but I have a skirt on so I might flash everyone here" I said as I started climbing over to get down to Isaac.
I gave him a big hug, I also hugged the other guys.
"You guys are in the round of 16 and you guys cake out first in your group" I said all happy and proud
"Yea I'm so happy I could of never imagined this happening" Isaac said
"And Germany are out" I said still shocked over it
"It's karma" Sebastian Larsson said referring to the fight that happened after the sweden Germany match.
We all just kinda nodded and laughed. I don't think any of us kinda expected that sweden would come this far.
"We need to celebrate tonight" Andreas our captain said
"You guys are celebrating with us" Isaac said as he pointed towards me, Stina and Pontus.
"As much as we'd like to we have to go, we have the England Belgium match tomorrow" Stina said
"Your always working" Isaac said
"Yes I know, but congratulation to you guys, we'll find a time to celebrate, but you guys have fun" I said giving Isaac one last hug
After congratulating the boys and saying our byes we headed off to the airport. I was looking forward to tomorrow's match, either way both teams were trough. It would be in England's favour if they did lose they would have a "easier" road to the final.

Amanda's POV-
We were at the match waiting for the teams to exit the tunnels. As soon as they did the whole stadium was cheering for them.
It was a quite even match, Belgium were a bit better and they ended up scoring taking the lead by 1-0.
After the full 90 minuets Belgium has won and were first in the group and England came out second in the group.
In the tunnels I got to interview Harry Kane, Kyle Walker and Southgate from the England team. There wasn't much to say the played well and they're trough.
I also got to interview Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard. I was really happy to have the chance to interview Lukaku who is one of my favourite players.
After I was done with the interviews it felt surreal I had just interview one of my favourite players.

"Amanda" I heard from behind me and I turned around to see Jesse and a smile came to my face as soon as I saw him.
"Hey, congratulations" I said as I walked up to him and gave him a hug
"Thank you" He said while hugging me back
"How does it feel?" I asked him 
"It's so crazy, I'm so extremely happy" he said with a bright smile
"I can tell by your smile" I said
We were just talking about the match and how him and the guys were planning on celebrating when someone came from behind me and yelled out jesses name. I was scared for a seconds but I turned around to see Lukaku, even tho I had just interviewed him I was so nervous.
Jesse and Romelu said their hellos and caught up, while I just stood there awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, Rom this is Amanda, Amanda this is Rom" Jesse said introducing me
"Hey, Wait aren't you the reporter that was just interviewing me?" He asked confused
"Yes I am" I said
"This is the girl you and Marcus are dating" he said while looking at Jesse
"I'm not dating any one of them" I said looking up to him
"So you're dating that other guy? The Swedish one?" He then said
"No I am not and Im not liking this whole conversation, so I should get going, nice to meet you Romelu and congratulations, Jesse I'll see you around and congrats again" I said to the guys trying to get out of this situation.
As I turned around to walk away Jesse grabbed my hand causing me to turn around
"We're going out to celebrate follow us" Jesse said
"I can't I'm sorry, our flight leaves in like 2 hours" I said
I really did want to hang out and celebrate with them, it was a shame that we actually had a flight to catch.
"Is it because what I said?" Romelu asked concerned that he might of 'hurt my feelings'
"No, I honestly have a flight to catch and trust me it's not what you said" I said as I gave him a smile.
"I'll see you back at the hotel?" Jesse asked
"Yea, i have to get going" I said to them
Both of them said bye to me and I walked back over to Stina and Pontus who were packing everything up.
29th June 2018
Amanda's POV-
"Come on Pontus, why don't you want to hang out with us?" I asked as i sat down at my vanity
"I told you guys last night, my friends from Sweden are coming and as much as I love you guys I've been surrounded by females for the past 2 weeks" he said as he was laying on my bed on his phone.
"So you're saying your guy friends are more important then us?" I joked
"Come on Pontus it's our first real day off" I whined
"I know, but we've been hanging out for 2 whole weeks I'm going crazy I need some guy time" he said
"Stina you wanna help me out?" I asked
"What?" She said looking up from her phone. Me and Pontus both just laughed, she hadn't taken her eyes off her phone the whole morning.
"I'll see you guys tonight, have fun on your day off" he said and gave me a kiss on the head before leaving.
"So what is the plan for today?" I asked Stina
I got no answer from her which annoyed me, what was so interesting on her phone.
"Stina if you don't get off your phone I swear to I'll throw it out of the window" I said getting annoyed
"Fine what do you want?" She asked putting her phone down
"What are we doing today?" I asked
"Let's just get ready and we'll take it as it comes" she said
"So the plan is to not have a plan?" I asked
"Yea basically" she said
"Fine just get ready" I said
Stina was doing her makeup on my bed while I was doing my makeup in front of my vanity. I didn't like wearing a lot of makeup during summer so all I did was fill in my eyebrows, a bit of concealer, bronzer and highlight. I set my face with some setting spray and it was time to choose out an outfit. I put on a denim skirt and a yellow t-shirt, it was good enough. I put my hair in a ponytail and put my essentials in my backpack and it was just time to wait for Stina. Stina would never go out in public without a full face of makeup, which meant she'd take forever to get ready. After what felt like 20 years Stina was done and we were heading out for the day.
As we arrived in the lobby we saw Jesse, Marcus and some of the other guys.
We went up to them to say hi to them and all the from Stina was a half hearted hello and congratulations as she didn't even look up from her phone.
"I'm sorry she's been like this all morning not sure what's so interesting on her phone" I said as I looked over to Stina. They all just sort of laughed as the looked at stina who didn't bother looking up from her phone.
"What are you guys doing today?" Jesse asked me
"We don't actually have any plans" I said
"Well we are going to this theme park if you want to join us" Marcus said
"That actually sounds like so much fun" Stina said as she put her phone in her pocket.
"Yes it does" I said with a smile
"We have a car coming in a bit" Jesse said
We sat down on the sofas with the guys and we weren't saying a lot.
"How did Sweden's match go?" Kyle asked
"We won 3-0, so you my friend owe me 100 pounds" I said
"That's mad and South Korea beat Germany and they're gone" Danny said
"So sweden came out first in the group?" Kyle asked
"Yes, don't underestimate sweden" I said
"You guys beat Mexico 3-0, you guys brought out that proper Viking shit" sterling's joked which made us all laugh.
An hour later we were at the theme park trying to figure out which ride we wanted to go on first. I wasn't the biggest fan of amusement parks and going on rides.
"I wanna go on that one" stina said pointing to the scariest looking ride.
Everyone agreed and I had no other choice but to follow them. I sat next to Stina on that ride but we alternate who we were sitting next to on the rides. The funniest person to sit next to were Danny and Jesse, both screaming at the top of their lungs at any drop or anything remotely scary. And I was the one who was scared of rides.
"You were yelling like a little girl" Stina said to Danny as we got off the ride
"Shut up no I wasn't" he said trying to play it cool but we all had heard his screaming.
"Okay how about we take a break and get something to eat?" I asked since I was starving
We all walked to the restaurant area in the amusement park. After about 30 minuets on deciding on where we should eat we were finally seated at the restaurant. We ordered our food and we were all just talking.
Stina knew I didn't like milkshakes so she kept on pushing heres in my face.
"Come on have a taste" stina said sliding her milkshake over to me
"I don't like milkshakes and to top it if it's a banana strawberry milkshake so no thanks" I said
"Wait who doesn't like milkshakes?" Marcus asked shocked
"Me" I said
"Who doesn't like banana strawberry milkshakes?" Danny asked
"I really just don't like the taste of bananas" I said disgusted
"Okay why don't you like milkshakes?" Jesse asked
"I just can't, it's too thick and every time I try to swallow I start to gag" I said not thinking about what I was saying
"That sounded so wrong" stina said while laughing her ass off. Soon everyone around the table started laughing and I could feel how red I was turning.
"Okay can we change the subject?" I said embarrassed
"I just don't understand how you can eat tuna and caramel but not drink a milkshake?" Sterling asked
"I just don't like it I'm a picky eater" I said
"You can't say your a picky eater if you enjoy eating tuna and caramel" Jesse said
"No but she actually is a really picky eater, the only thing she eats is like chicken, chips, watermelon and toast" Stina said while on her phone
"Can we stop discussing my food choices?" I asked and it just made them all laugh
"And Stina could you please get off your phone, what's so interesting on your phone" i asked getting annoyed at her
I didn't get an answer from her, Danny who was sitting next to her started looking at her phone to see what she was doing.
"Who's ivar? Flying all the way to russia to see you, my boy trying to get some" Danny said as he started laughing and hyping Stina up
"Wait Ivar is coming here" I asked confused. I didn't get an answer from Stina
"Wait why are you talking to Ivar?" I asked still very confused
"Wait Who's ivar?" Trent asked just as confused as the rest of the guys
"My brother" I answered
"The plot thickens the best friend and the brother" Danny said
"Can we talk about this later?" She asked me in Swedish
"Fine but you have a lot of explaining to do" I said to her also in Swedish
"It's not nice of you guys to speak a language we all don't understand, so could we get what ever you said translated?" Sterling asked
"No and we're dropping this conversation" Stina said
It was awkward for a couple of minuets but then we started talking again.
After eating we continued going on some rides and as the day came to a close we headed back to the hotel. After getting out of the taxi Stina said bye to us and walked to her hotel, while the rest of us walked into our hotel.
I said bye to the guys as I was so tiered after a long day but had such a great time.
After getting to my room and relaxing a bit there was a knock on my door. I got up to open it to see Jesse with his cheeky smile.
"Couldn't get enough of me?" I joked as I let him into my room
"I hope you had a good time today" he said as he sat down on my couch.
"Yes I did it was really fun even tho I'm not the biggest fan of amusement parks" I said as I sat down next to him
"You're not a fan of a lot of stuff" he said
"Yea that's true" I said laughing a bit
"Did you have a good time?" I asked with a smile
"Yes I did, I'm so glad you could come along" he said while smiling
"Me too" I said
I couldn't help but want to kiss him and I'm guessing he felt the same way as he leaned in for a kiss. As we were kissing he pulled me onto his lap so I was straddling him, I could care less so I just wrapped my hands around his neck and continued kissing him.
After pulling away and sitting back down on the couch I could feel myself blushing.
"You're cute when you blush" he said with a smile
I couldn't help but blush even more, I asked how he felt about upcoming match against Colombia to change the subject.
Me and Jesse spent most of the night just talking about anything and everything, we also couldn't seem to be able to stop kissing or get our hands off of each other.
