June and I reached the stadium finally after a one hour long and tiresome travel. The traffic on the road was literally indescribable. But the reason for the traffic was quite understandable. It was the semi finals of the Champions league for Christ's sake. It was surely going to be crazy.

Luckily the two of us reached the stadium with enough time to spare before the match started. We quickly paced our way to the back door of the stadium to avoid the massive crowd outside and of course the innumerable cameras that were ready to capture our every move. The players normally entered the stadium through this gate and the guards knew me very well because a lot of times I came to meet the team. As we walked to the back door the guard on duty, Hierrero, smiled as he saw me. I smiled back at him. He was a really sweet guy.

"Welcome Ms.Summers. Your just in time. The players have just arrived."

"Thank you for the information Hierrero." I said smiling widely.

"And how is little June?" He said looking down at my daughter with a big bright smile.

"Super excited. Força Barça." My daughter shouted while jumping up and down.

"That's the spirit" He said while sharing a Hi-five with my eight year old girl.

I smiled looking at the two. June looked so happy. And seeing her happy I felt like I was on cloud nine. Oh she was my everything. I would literally do anything to protect her from any sort of pain and misery. She was truly my happiness.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Hierrero's comment-" By the way Ms.Summers, he is waiting for you."
He smirked when he said this. I could feel my face go cherry red. June started giggling and that surely didn't prevent my face from going to a darker shade of red. I smiled awkwardly filled with embarrassment.

"Come along now. I don't want to be late." I said as I ushered June inside.

" Yeah, yeah. You don't want to keep him waiting." She said cheekily.

"Crossing your boundaries young lady." I said a little seriously.

"Sorry. You know I was just joking."

"Yeah. But let's remember not to say things like that in public next time."

"I promise I won't. Friends?"

"Forever and a day."

She smiled listening to this. We shook hands and I kissed her on her cheeks and in return I received the same plus a tight teddy hug.

As we walked in, we could hear the chattering and clattering of voices indicating the others had already come. We walked towards the merry crowd outside the locker room. I spotted Shak and Pique each holding one of their kids. Suárez was there too but I remembered Sofia was visiting her parents with their kids so she was not going to be here for the match. My eyes kept searching for that one person who I had been desperately longing to meet.

June let go of my hand and started running to the group of people.

"Leo!!" She shouted at the top of her lungs "I missed you so much." She said hugging him. Leo lifted her in his arms despite of her being heavy. He really did love her.
