it was the night of the england match against columbia and we had just gone into penalties.
i was on pins when i notice dele looking at me, i catch his eye and he immediately looks away.
the first penalty is taken by harry kane, who, as always, scores.
it's now marcus' turn to take a penalty and he looks at me before he does, nodding in my direction. i smile, mouthing 'you got this'
he scores making it 2-2 and runs back to his team, celebrating.
colombia misses their fifth penalty meaning that it was 3-3 and if we score, we win and move onto the quater finals.
taking the penalty is eric dier, who scores causing a massive uproar from the england fans.
i smile, seeing all the boys dive onto dier and pickford and i quickly snap a picture before i see marcus run over to me.
'i scored that for you, you know' i smile, not knowing what to say, 'you played well, for a united player'
he chuckles, brushing his fingers along my cheek and before i know it his lips are on mine.
i pull back, shocked but i eventually soften into the kiss and his lips are comforting after not being kissed for nearly five years, it was nice.
as i pull away, i see dele's face drop as he sees us and i instantly feel guilty. but why should i? he was such a dick to me yesterday.
marcus takes my hand, pulling me over the barrier and onto the pitch and i run over to eric, attacking him in a hug.
'well done, mate' he smiles, 'thanks, soph' he wraps an arm around my shoulder, 'we're in the quarter finals!'

tears begin to burn in my eyes as i read the comments.
how quick are people to assume judge these days?
okay, maybe i shouldn't have kissed marcus, but it felt so good and it was the first time i'd really felt wanted in a long while.
but with the way people are thinking, i don't know if i can afford to be seen in public with any of the players.
by this point i'm crying when i hear a knock at my door.
'who is it?' i mumble, 'dele, wait soph are you crying?' he sounds angry at first but it softness.
i open the door and he sees my puffy eyes and his face drops, he goes into hug me but i step away.
he raise an eyebrow at me and goes to say something but i beat him to it, 'i- i can't be around you anymore' he faces falls, 'w-what? why not?'
i pass him my phone and he reads through the comments whilst i look out my window into moscow, trying to calm myself down.
his arms wrap around my waist and i instantly calm down. 'look, these people are just jealous and i would never let anyone talk to you or treat you like this. we all know that you and eric and just friends as you are with me'
he stutters on the last bit, 'but i don't want to be just friends' i mumble, 'the reason why i kissed marcus was because it felt nice to be wanted by a boy because all of them back home never seemed to notice me'
'if you wanted to be noticed by a boy, all you needed to do was come to me' he says leaning in.
i don't have to wait until our lips are attached. the kiss is slow and meaningful as if it was long awaited, which it pretty much is.
we break apart and share a little laugh,
like teenagers after their first kiss.
