Amelia's POV-
"Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino step daughter Amelia Black has been linked with several players from the team, do you want me to go on?" Zoe asked looking up from her phone
"Yes I want to know what they're saying" I said
Me and Zoe were sitting in her car at our usual hang out spot under the bridge.
"Are you sure?" She asked and I just nodded
"The first player the 20 year old was linked with 22 year old midfielder Harry Winks, after the daily mail first reported that the couple had been seeing each other for a couple of weeks, the couple were mainly spotted together at Tottenham training grounds but the couple were spotted together at dinner back in October" Zoe read before I cut her off
"Excuse me? We were at dinner because we were talking about the whole Dele, ruby situation because he was the only one at the time that knew" I said angrily
"Do you want me to finish?"
"Yea"
"The two have also been very active on each others social media commenting on each others posts. The couple then appeared in the background of midfielder Lucas Mouras picture posted to Instagram, on the team bus on their way to play against Chelsea and you can easily spot the couple in  the background, where Amelia's is resting her head against Harry winks shoulder, as soon as fans started noticing it and pointing it out Lucas removed the photo to re upload it but with the couple cropped out of the photo" Zoe read
"What? What picture?" I asked confused
Zoe then proceeded to show me the picture that was connected to the article, I recognised the picture because I had seen it on Lucas Instagram but I had only seen the cropped version.
"I don't recognise it" Zoe said
"Me neither what the fuck" I said
"Should I keep on reading?" She asked
"Yes"
"Amelia was also caught up in a bit of drama this week, after Dele posted a photo to his Instagram and one comment stood out from his now former girlfriend, the comment read "cheat", she then later went on to comment on Amelia's post "trash🚮", fans are now speculating this has something to do with the reason to why Dele and Ruby called it quits"
"They all think I'm a whore" I said
"No one thinks that"
"They think I slept with a guy who has a girl friend" I said
"Okay but no one knows that it all just speculation" she said
"I haven't slept with Dele that's the thing" I said
"But you did kiss him" she said
"I know I did and I felt so guilty about it and I didn't talk to him for 4 months and I kept my distance and I just don't need everyone's eyes on me" I said
"I know and I understand it must be hard"
"I don't get how you've managed to stay out of the public eye, you've been dating Eric for the past 4 months" I said
"Well I don't think anyone thinks it's that interesting, I haven't been seen out with Eric in public and my social media is private and when nobody knows how I look like they can't write about me" she said
"Maybe that's what I should do? Just be invisible" I said
"You can't you work at Tottenham and your step dad is Mauricio, it's just impossible for you to all of a sudden disappear" she said
"Watch me"
Zoe didn't answer she just rolled her eyes at me.
"Are you going to the team dinner tonight?" She asked me
"No I don't think so"
"Is this apart of your disappearing act?"
"No I just am not in the mood to be teased asked question or anything like that" I told her and she nodded understanding
"So it's a girls night then?" She asked looking over at me
"No you're going with Eric" I said
"Nah my girl needs me he'll understand" she said and I just smiled at her, I was so grateful to have her In my life.

30th November
I had to tell Dele we had to keep it real lowkey for the next couple of days or weeks. I really didn't like how the media and everyone was spinning this, I was the reason to why Dele cheated. I did deserve the blame I was getting I after all knew that Dele was in a relationship when I kissed him. Even Mauricio was asking questions and getting suspicious. He kept on asking me if I wanted to keep on working at spurs and I was actually getting unsure if i dud want to continue working. I parked my car and slowly looked out the window to deles house, most of the lights were on. Maybe he wasn't alone in there? Maybe he had some of the guys over? Should I just turn around and drive home.
After thinking about it I got out the car and I walked up to Deles house, after thinking some more I decided to ring the bell. I looked over to my car and I could still make a run for it, I thought.
It was too late the door opened and I spun around to be met with someone who wasn't Dele. The guy was really tall, he had long blond hair and blue eyes.
"Could I help you with something?" He asked
"Erm yes I'm looking for Dele" I said
"And you are? Please don't tell me you're some crazy fan girl" he said while rolling his eyes at me
"I'm not some crazy fan girl and I'm Deles...friend" I said
"How am I suppose to trust you?" He asked with a smirk
"Oh my fucking god I do not have the time for this can you just tell me or show me where he is?" I asked harshly
"Fine" he said letting me in and I followed behind him.
He lead me to some room on the second floor and when we entered Dele was sitting on a couch on his phone.
"Was it the food?" Dele asked not looking up from his phone
"No it was actually your friend" the guy said which made deles look up to me. A smile came to his face as soon as he saw me.
"Ames What are you doing here, I thought you were sick" Dele said as he stood up
"Well Ill leave you guys to it" the guy said before exiting the room
"I wasn't sick today or last night I just needed to think about stuff" I said
"What stuff?" He asked
"If I want to continue working" I said
"You want to quit?" He asked
"I don't know that was what I was thinking about" I said
"Is there any reason to why you no longer want to work there?" He asked looking down at his lap
"It's just the media, how do you deal with all of that, everyone is just saying all these things about me and I don't know how to deal with it" I said
"You just learn to not listen to them and just push all that negativity aside as long as you know who you are then what they say doesn't matter" he said
"But what if some of the stuff they're saying is true?"
"They don't know the full story so they're gonna make up their own story and as long as they don't know the full story then it doesn't matter what they say" he said
"I guess that's true it just suck" I said
"I know it does" he said while giving me a hug
"I'm sorry for interrupting your night" I said as I hugged him back
"No you're not interrupting at all" he said
"I should leave, so you guys can continue doing whatever you were doing" I said
"No stay, I want you here"
"I'm not sure your friend would appreciate that" I said referring to him being hostile towards me when I first arrived.
"Harry, can you come in here?" Dele yelled
"What are you doing?" I asked confused
"Everything alright?" The guy asked as he walked in
"Harry this is my friend Amelia and Amelia this is my brother Harry" Dele said introducing us
"Nice to know you're not some crazy fan girl" he said
"Well maybe next time you should trust me" I said as rolled my eyes
"So you're thee Amelia" he said
"I am" I said awkwardly
Hmm was all he said as he nodded
"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked
"Harry" Dele said
"No it's nothing" he said
"No I wanna know" I said
"Should we finish our match" Dele asked Harry in hopes of changing the subject
Harry just nodded as he sat down on the couch, so I was now seated in between Dele and Harry as they played FIFA.
As the night went on I played a couple of matches and me being terrible at FIFA I didn't win a single time. I also learnt that Harry wasn't that much of an asshole after all. I looked up at clock on the wall and it was a bit before midnight.
"Excuse me shouldn't you be in bed? You have a match tomorrow" I said looking over at Dele
"Yea but I'm not tired" he said
"But you have to get your rest, or you'll be tired tomorrow" I said
"Wouldn't it be better for your team that I'm tired so they can beat us" he said
"As much as I want arsenal to win I know Mauricio is going to be pissed off at you if you're tired" he said
"You can really tell that your the gaffers daughter" Harry said while laughing.
"I guess she's right, I should go to bed if we want to beat Arsenal tomorrow" he said
"Let's just finish the match" Harry said and Dele nodded in agreement
After they were done with match Harry said his goodnights before leaving me and Dele alone.
"I should get going" I said
"It's really dark out and the roads are slippery, are you sure you want to drive home?" He asked
"I don't really have another choice" I said with a chuckle
"You could spend the night here" he said and I just looked at him with raised brows.
"In a guest room obviously" he then added and I just nodded.
"Okay then let's get you some clothes then" he said as he stood up and reached for my hand.
I took my hand into his and stood up. He lead me trough the house showing me around a bit before we arrived to his room. He lead me in and it was cleaner then I had expected.
"So what do you want?" He asked as we were in his walking closet.
"Just a t-shirt and I don't know some shorts?" I asked
He started rummaging trough his drawers and handed me a white t-shirt and a pair of white shorts.
"I hope these are clean" I joked
"Of course they are, now let me show you to your room" he said as we exited his closet
"Thank you for the clothes and letting me stay here"
"No need to thank me" he said
"So here's your room and if you need anything you know where my room is and the toilet is right next door" he said
"Thank you, I'll see you tomorrow" I said
"Goodnight" He said looking down at me
"Goodnight" I said before entering the room.
I wanted a good night kiss but I guess I was just nervous of he was but it didn't matter. I changed into the clothes he had given me and I got into the bed. I couldn't help but just stare into the dark nothingness. It was then I realised just how dark the room I was in was. I tried to push all the scary thoughts I was having out of me head but I couldn't help but think about the scary creatures that could be lurking in the corners. Nope that was it I got out of the bed and quickly ran out of the room and towards deles room. I knocked on deles door hoping he was still awake.
"Come in" I heard him say and I let out a sigh of relief.
It was dark in his room and he had the flash light on his phone shining on me as I entered the room.
"Amy?" He asked
"Sorry Ames" He said correcting himself
"Could I just hang out here for a bit got kinda spooked out by myself" I said
"Yea sure, do you wanna stay here or if you'd feel more comfortable we could go downstairs" he said
"No we can stay here" I said as I started walking towards his bed
"You can get on I don't bite"he said as he tapped on his bed. I just nodded before climbing on to his bed, Dele turned off his flash light before turning on the lamp on his bedside table.
"Sorry for calling you Amy" he said
"I don't mind it when you call me Amy" I admitted as I laid down facing him
"You don't?" He asked confused
"No if it were to be anyone else I feel like I wouldn't like it and I'd be pretty angry about it, but I don't know why I'm just not bothered when you say it" I told him
"Do you still want to not call you Amy because Id understand if you wouldn't" he said
"I'll get back to you on that one Bamidele" I said
"So why are you still awake?" I asked changing the subject
"I was just thinking" he said
"About?"
"That I should of kissed you when I was saying goodnight to you" he said with a smile coming to his face
"Well it isn't too late" I whispered
Dele then placed his hand on my cheek before coming closer to me. I closed my eyes as I closed the gap between us and our lips collided. Dele pulled me closer him as we continued kissing. We both pulled away for a breath and I could see a smile on deles face.
"I don't think I could ever get tired of kissing you" he said as he started blushing a bit
I couldn't stop smiling or blushing as buried my face in the crook of his neck.
"I want to take you out, on a real date" he said
"I want that too" I said
"Let's just let this drama die down a bit and I'll take you on a date you'll remember for a lifetime" he said and I just nodded as another small smile came to my face.
"Are you exited about tomorrow's match?" I asked him
"Yes I am and I'm hoping that we win just so we can prove what Tottenham is about" he said
"In that case you should go to sleep so you can be on your A-game" I said
"Are you going to sleep here?" He asked looking away from me
"I should go back to my room.....unless you'd you know like me to stay" I said not dating to look at him
"Of course I want yo to stay" he said hugging me
"Okay" I said as I hugged him back
"Goodnight Amelia" he said as he gave me a peck on the lips
"Goodnight Bamidele" I said back to him

1st December- north London Darby
I woke up by Deles alarm and as my eyes fluttered open I was laying on deles chest as his arm was wrapped around me. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes as I slowly sat up on his bed. I looked out the window and it looked freezing outside. I just sighed as I turned off deles alarm and looked over at him as he was still asleep. I didn't quite understand how anyone could sleep trough their alam. He seemed to be in a deep sleep, I looked at him for a bit before shaking my head and starting to wake Dele up.
"Dele it's time to wake up" I said
He just nodded without actually waking up or moving.
"Dele I'm being serious" I said
"Why can't you just let me sleep" he sighed as he pulled me on top of him
"Dele" I said as I started laughing a bit
"Why won't you let me sleep?" He asked as he started placing kisses on my neck
"Dele" I said while laughing
"You don't seem that tired if you have the energy to tickle me and all of that" I said as I got out of his grasp and sitting back up
"I am it's just waking up beside you makes me happy and gives me energy" he said and I just smiled as o looked away
"You need to get your ass up and so do I frankly" I said looking at the time
"Yes I know, how did you sleep last night?"
"I had a goodnights sleep, what about you?" I asked
"I slept like a baby" he said and I just smiled as I looked at him
"I need to leave, but I'll see you in a bit" I said
"You're coming today?" He asked
"I could never miss the north London Darby" I said and Dele just rolled his eyes and chuckled. After saying bye to Dele and gathering my stuff I left in my car to Zoe's apartment where I'd be getting changed just ago I could avoid my mum and Mauricio's questions. After arriving at Zoe's apartment I soon noticed that she wasn't alone. I knocked on her bedroom door and waited for an answer. After i heard Zoe say come in I entered the room where she was in bed with Eric.
"Good morning" I said
"Good morning?" They both said confused
"I just need to borrow some cloths and brush my teeth and all of that" I said
"What are you wearing it's freezing out" Zoe asked referring to the clothes Dele had gave me.
"It's a long story" I said
"What are you doing here so early?" Eric asked
"To borrow clothes" I said I a duh tone
"Don't you have clothes at home?" He asked
"I didn't sleep at home" I quickly said hoping they'd drop it
"Where did you sleep then?" Zoe asked
"Let's talk about it later" I said as i took the clothes I'd be borrowing and entered the bathroom

3:36 PM
The derby was intense as most derbies are, Tottenham had most possession and were attacking the most while arsenal were playing from out back. I was constantly being teased on the bench but I could barely focus on the match or the teasing. I could see my dad on Arsenal's bench, I don't think he had noticed me or maybe he was avoiding me or he didn't recognise me? Whatever it might of been it was giving me mixed emotions.
"Are you okay?" Harry asked me
"Yes" k said
"I thought this was your favourite match of the year and you're barely watching" he said
"I am watching" i said a bit annoyed at him.
As the whistle to half time blew I let everyone leave before me and I sort of hid in my jacket as I watched my dad walk right past me. He would of died if he saw me wearing spurs clothing. Even the jacket I was wearing had spurs written on the back of it. As all of the guys entered the dressing room I stood in the hallway not wanting to be there. I was pretty much alone except the security of course. After about 5 minuets Dele exited the dressing room and looked over at me with a big smile
"Why are you out here for?" Dele asked
"Because I didn't want to be in there" I said
"Why not?" He asked and I didn't say anything but shrugged
"Is everything okay?" He asked as he put his hands on my shoulder
"I just have a bit of a headache" I lied
"Come here" He said as he pulled me in for a hug
"You were doing well out there" I said
"It's a really tough game and we're trying ou-" before he could finish what he was saying Dele was cut off by an familiar voice.
"Never thought you'd be one to betray your team for a man" I heard my dad say.
I got out of Deles grasp before turning around to face my father.
"And I never thought you were one to leave your wife and kids for a pair of fake boobs and a fake ass" I snapped back
He didn't say anything but just laughed and shook his head.
"How are you Amy" he asked
"I'm good, you?" I asked
"I'm doing well" he said
"We should catch up some time, I'd love for you and James to meet your siblings" he said
I didn't really know what to say or answer so I just nodded.
"Aren't you gonna introduce me?" My dad ask referring to Dele
"Del this is my dad, dad this is Dele" I said
"Nice meeting you" Dele said as he shook his hand
"Likewise" my dad said
"Could you give us a minuet?" My dad asked Dele. Dele looked at me to ask if I'd be okay and I just nodded.
"I'd love if you and James could come to dinner on Friday" he said
"Why would we come?" I asked
"I really want to make things better" he said
"A little bit too late don't you think?" I asked
"If you change your mind Mauricio has my number and I'd really hope that you and James could come you can even bring Dele if you'd like" he said
"I'll think about it" I said
He just nodded before leaving me alone in the hallway again.
As the match started again arsenal was attacking a lot but I couldn't focus on the game. I hadn't even realised Kane had scored before the guys around me stated jumping around. But I couldn't move I couldn't do anything I just felt frozen in my seat.
As the final whistle blew everyone left the bench and the supporters started to exit the stadium. But I just sat there on the bench waiting, for only god knows what. I called Zoe asking if she could pick me up and she said gladly and that she was near by. As I waited for Zoe I couldn't stop thinking about what my father had said.
