Chapter 11-
I sat in the stands just watching the guys train, laughing as they would joke and prank each other. I had always wished i had persued footall as a possible career but when my family moved to Munich i had to leave the academy and after that i just focused on school and fashion. Jurgen walked to me a small smile playing on his lips as he came and sat next to me, "you know you dont have to be here whilst the guys train, i take my own notes im not that lazy" he said still smiling at me. I nodded and smiled at him still watching the guys, "I know but i just like watching them train" i said and i turned to face him to see him smile but he turned back to the pitch keeping an eye on the guys. "Marco told me you used to play thats how you and him met?" Jurgen stated but it came out more like a question which i nodded to. "Do you miss it?" he asked and i looked out over to the pitch. "Yes a lot, i wish i never gave it up" i said more to myself than him. He patted my shoulder whilst he stood up, "Erik!" he called making me jump, i looked up to him to see a small smile playing on his face. Erik jogged over to us and Jurgen started talking, "take Sara, find her a kit and boots, shes joining the training session" I looked up to him and my jaw dropped. Before i could thank him he made his way back to the training field, I turned to Erik with a big smile on my face making him laugh. "Well come on lets go and get you some stuff then" Erik stated motioning for me to follow him.
I was now standing head to toe in Dortmund training gear, i took a seat as i tied up the laces on my boots. Once I had finished i stood up brushing myself down, i quickly pulled out my phone taking a picture and sending it to my parents telling them what i was about to do. I tucked my phone away in Erik's locker and made my way out to the pitch. I walked out to see Jurgen had called all of the guys around, they all turned and stared at me and me being, well me i bowed to them making them laugh. "So Sara will be training with us as much as she would like to" He stated and the guys cheered making me smile widely. He told us what we were going to do next and i made my way to my position.
We were now at the end of the training session and i have to say i was holding up quite well, we just had a small game to play then i would be done. I listened as Jurgen said the teams and told each of us our positions, we all lined up and it was now that it hit me. I turned to Jurgen narrowing my eyes at him and i noticed him smiling widely, "Its not funny Papa Klopp!" i shouted making him laugh even more. I turned back to face the confused guys on my team and the guy that would be marking me, also known as Erik. "Oh it is Sara and i like the name!" he shouted back chuckling a little making me roll my eyes.
I was now in my car on the way home still in my kit due to the fact that they still dont have any showers i could use but its an honour in itself to be able to train with them and to know each of them. After having a shower i dialled my parents and waited patiently for them to answer...
"Hey" i said happily as i heard my Dad's voice say hello.
"Sara! I got your photo, what on earth is going on" He got straight to the point not even asking if i was ok.
"I get to train with the first team as much as i want Dad! I got a new job as Papa Klopp's assistant and yeah... its so much fun. I get to spend more time with the guys and Erik!" i ranted but paused when i realised i had singled Erik out.
"Oh Erik hey? Why single him out? Erik Durm is this?" My Dad interrogated and i knew that he could tell i was blushing.
"Um Dad um, I may have gone on one date with him" I stuttered and waited for him to reply.
"Thats ok, i trust you and Dad's judgement on this. I also trust Marco will sort it out if Erik puts a foot wrong" Dad said referring to the letter that i had told him about.
"Sara! We are home!" I heard Marco shout and my Dad heard him too and told me to go and see them, claiming he will talk to me more later.
"Hey guys!" I said happily as i walked into the room not looking up from my phone. I plonked myself down on the settee and looked up to realise why nobody had replied. "Who are you?" the guy standing infront of me asked rudely. I raised an eyebrow moving away from him a little i locked my phone and put into my jeans pocket. "Well I am Sara, Marco's friend and housemate, who are you?" i shot back knowing who he was. I tried my best when i saw his face drain in shock as he realised that i had asked who he was. "I'm Mario, Mario Gotze" he stated as if i was dumb and i looked at the doorway to see Marco and Erik walk in with an oblivious smile. I smiled back to them and moved stood up muttering something about a drink, so i stood up and made my way to the kitchen, as i stood taking a sip out my glass of juice Mario came in standing in front of me. "I know you are only friends with the guys because you want their money, you are just one of those sluts and when Marco realises you will be out just like all of the rest" he stated looking at me like im a piece of rubbish. I moved away from him walking past him, i paused when i got to the door turning back, "not everything revolves around money Mario, but i guess you wouldnt know that" i stated turning on my heel and walking back to the living room, taking a seat next to Erik, who put his arm around me as i laid my head on his shoulder.
After being cuddled up to Erik for an hour and having to put up with the looks Mario were sending me i decided i was going to go to bed so i sat up. Erik felt me sit up and turned to me, "everything ok baby?" he asked quietly and i nodded whilst i stood up. His eyebrows furrowed and i motioned to the door, "I think im gonna go to bed" i quietly said not wanting to interruppt the film for Mario and Marco. Erik stood up as well walking out of the room with me, we both muttered a night and Marco smiled to us saying night back. When we got up to my room i threw myself on the bed, "I saw the looks that Mario was sending you" Erik stated as he sat on the end of my bed. I rolled my eyes making him laugh, "I dont like him but i will tolerate him for Marco" I stated and Erik nodded to himself. I let out a yawn and stood up looking for my pyjamas, Erik stood up too "I guess i should get going" he stated coming over to me to give me a kiss. He leaned down and placed a kiss on my lips, resting his hands on my hips. "Stay with me?" i asked him looking into his amazing eyes and i could see a small smile appear on his lips. He nodded and i disappeared into the bathroom to get ready for bed.
Erik came out of my bathroom in just a pair of short and again i had to stop myself from saying something stupid. We wouldnt want another incident like what happened with Papa Klopp now would we? He pulled back my duvet and climbed under, i turned my lamp off and climbed into the bed next to him. I felt him put his arm around my waist cuddling up to me, so i turned facing him to see him turn onto his back. I placed my head on his chest and he wrapped his arm around me once again. I closed my eyes and he waited for a while before he started talkng. "You are an amazing girl Sara, i hope you realise that" He paused and i didnt answer him, i just snuggled closer to him. "You are so beautiful, that was my first thought when i met you, when you opened the door that day i thought you was going to be Marco's girlfriend and i felt so annoyed because as selfish as it sounds i wanted you as my girl. I was shy because i didnt want to get attached to you if you were Marco's, but you werent and i was so happy. It killed me to see you hurting so much when your Grandad died Sara. I want you to be my girlfriend" he finished and my head jerked up towards him. My eyes opened and i met his perfect blue eyes "Yes" i simply stated and it took a few seconds for him to realise what i had said. "You mean that?" He checked sitting up a little. I nodded my head and he pulled me in for a long kiss. He leant his forehead on mine with his hand on my cheek, saying "my girlfriend is so beautiful". I giggled and replied with "my boyfriend isnt too bad either" i winked at him and we laid back down, him placing a light kiss on my forehead as i drifted off to sleep with a huge smile on my face and my heart beating rapidly. Could It Be that i was falling for my amazing boyfriend?
