the next morning I woke to my alarm going off, I flipped around to see Deles cute little face still sleeping, his lips where slightly parted and he was making small snoring noises. I wiggled out of the bed and grabbed some clothes and ran into the bathroom. I washed my hair being very careful not to get it in my eyes, as I stepped out I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around my body. After I dried my body and hair I put my clothes on, it was just leggings and I big hoodie. I left my hair down and it's natural curls started. I unlocked the door and walked into the bedroom to see Del had made the bed. I made my way into the kitchen/living room area, to see him standing over the oven cooking pancakes.

"Dele you didn't have to make anything, we have to get going. It's a team meeting this morning" I reminded him

"I'm always late don't worry about it"

"Del I start work before you, I need to talk to poch about all of the files."

"Oh shit okay, I can drive you there if you want" he suggested

"Yeah okay thanks" he placed the finished pancakes on a plate, they didn't look the best "I think you should stick to football and not cooking" I laughed at him.

"Yeah maybe, they aren't that bad. I've made worse" he chuckled and took his coat of the arm of the couch. I placed some of the pancake in my mouth

"It doesn't taste as bad as it looks" I hit his arm and walked out the door, chucked him the keys to lock the door "Dele where did Frankie sleep that night?" I asked him

"She slept in my bed" he told me

"with you?" I hoped he would say no

"Yes with me" he looked down and the floor looking guilty.

"Oh right, fair enough." I groaned and sat in the passenger seat in his black bmw. It was slick and clean. Very well looked after and had that new car smell. The drive to the stadium was quiet and boring. He turned the radio on but the car still fell silent. As we drove into the stadium I, unplugged my seat belt and grabbed my bags. "Thanks Dele, see you in the meeting" I opened the door from his car and continued my route to the blue spurs building.

I dragged myself into the meeting room, I sat next to poch and took a pen and paper out of my bag. I wrote down the boys strengths and weaknesses and who would be starting in the first game of the season. I prayed that we had all done enough training to win it this year. We where in there for half an hour before the boys started piling into the room, they all sat around the circle table. Son was directly in opposite me sat next to Harry (Kane) he looked pretty tired, and seemed he didn't have enough sleep last night. Which could be an issue if he wanted to play on Tuesday.

"Right team, me and Elle have gone through the starting line up and who would be coming on after half time" he started of the meeting. He looked around the room to see all of the boys faces lit up from excitement. It was so amazing to see how dedicated they all where, they all wanted to win and make the family of Tottenham happy again. "Lloris your goalkeeper for the first half and then possibly swapped with Vorm, Trippier, Rose, Alderweireld and Vertonghen defending, Dier, Erickson, dele and winks midfield and lastly son and Kane up front. Everyone got it?"

Harry spoke up and said "cmon boys it can't be that difficult to beat wolves. Make the club proud on the first game" we all cheered in unison, there smiles encouraged everyone to win.

"Remember any injuries that have happened recently tell me now, and we'll think about keeping you off" I made sure the team knew.

"I've had a dodgy knee but you already knew about that and I'll tape it up" Dele informed me and I wrote that next to his name

"Come and see me before the game and I'll check up on you" I told him and wrote everything down. I noticed next to Deles name he had given out 2 tickets, it didn't concern me, it was probably for him family or something or a couple mates. We sat around the table a little longer explaining the tactics and weaknesses off the other team

"Bare in mind boys, they have just come up from the Championship and if we loose to them it isn't a good sign. So make it a good start" he spoke in worried but confident voice and nodded at each of the boys.

"Wolves have one excellent player on the team and you've all got to keep an eye on him, he's the forward Jota and he pretty much raised them up from the championship, so all defenders keep an eye out" I stated and wrote it on the tactics sheet. We where all pretty much ready to win tomorrow and had all the important details mentioned.

"if we don't win, then we would frowned upon as a team, not to scare you boys" captain harry Kane blurted out and started to chuckle to himself.

"Oi don't say that, you'll jinx it" son finally said something and shone a smile directly towards me, his teeth where perfectly straight and white. His hair perfectly trimmed and shaped his face. He was as cute as a little baby, but he could play football 100x better than a baby. He noticed me staring at him and laughed down to the floor, I quickly looked away and re gained focus on the others.

"You've all got family, friends or lovers there so make them proud and make it so they didn't waste their time coming to watch" Poch still trying to encourage the boys.

"My daughter and my fiancé are coming and she's wearing my shirt" Kieran mentioned to us and showed a picture of it from his phone.

"Same with me, she looks so cute" Harry Kane joined in on the convo

"Well my mums coming and guess what she's wearing my shirt too!" Son laughed at himself as he said it.

"Dele anyone coming for you?" Poch asked

"Yeha a few ladies are coming and my brother" he spat out and stared at me straight in the eyes. Obviously he was annoyed at what happened this morning, he was the one in the wrong not me.

"Anyway that's the end of the meeting and I'll see you all on Tuesday to play a fab game" Poch sat up from his chair and shouted 'come on you spurs' in his funny accent before leaving the room. I followed shortly after but son grabbed hold of my arm before leaving.

"Elle do you want to come on a date with me tonight, just for more encouraging for the game" he politely asked and his dimples popped out as he smiled at me.

"I'd love to join you for a date son" I kissed him on the cheek and gave him a big bear hug, he wrapped him arms around my waste hugging me tightly back.

"Okay I'll pick you up at 7pm" he let go off me and grabbed his bag before we left the stadium together. I unfortunately had to get a lift home with Eric and Dele, they didn't mention anything. In fact they didn't even speak. As they pulled up towards my flat I got out of the car and shouted "thanks for the lift"

Dele jumped out of his seat as he had been sleeping in the back "no problemo, see you at the game tomorrow"
