Someday(Ander Herrera)

Chapter 1

I scanned around the hospital looking for rafa's room. I'm always lost whenever I come in here. It's a huge building and it's very inconvenient.
"Here it is Maria. This way" Fabio pointed out. Fabio is my older brother who is rafa's twin. Today is the day Rafael is supposed to get out of the hospital and back to training on Friday. He picked up a knee ligament during the preseason tour in Washington, D.C. He missed two games into the season so far and he feels really bad about it.

I walked in the room to see rafael out of the knee brace and ready to walk again. I feel really relieved to see him okay again especially since he hates missing important games.
"Rafa!" I screamed out and gave him a huge hug.
"Not too tightly Maria, I don't want another injury" he joked and I continued to squeeze him despite of what he said.
"How've you been Rafa? I was in Brazil the entire summer covering the World Cup" I explained to him. Since I work in sky sports they sent me to my country brazil so I can cover the World Cup and interview footballers. It was probably the best thing I've done in my career but I didnt enjoy watching my country lose 7-1 to germany.

"Did Van Gaal tell you that you can come back to training this week?" Asked Fabio.

"Yes. He's a tough manager and he wants all of his players back as soon as possible since we're not having the best start to the season" Rafa explained. The first game of the season, Manchester united was defeated 2-1 to Swansea city. It's not what you want after spending 300€ in the transfer window.

"That's good for you at least. The manager is confident in you. Maria is going to take you back home. I have to go to training. I hope everything goes well for you bro" Fabio said and hugged rafa. Fabio unfortunately doesn't play for united anymore. He plays for Cardiff city who are not in the premier league.

"Thanks bro. Good luck at Cardiff" they said their farewells and Fabio left.

We arrived back to rafa's house to find his wife and daughter waiting for him.

"Daddy!" His little princess Eduarda shouted his name with excitement.
"Come here my little princess" rafael embraced his daughter. I hugged my sister in law Carla who I've been accompying while rafael was on tour. She came with me to brazil during the World Cup and we grew closer since then.

"Are you going to take me to old trafford today auntie?" Eduarda asked me and I glanced at Rafa and he nodded.

"Sure sweetie. Let's go right now!" I told her and she can barely contain her excitement.
"We will get you a new kit also" I said. Manchester United just came out with a new kit and it looks really nice. I'm sure she will like it.

Old trafford is one of those places that make you feel like you're a very small part in the world. When you walk in the stadium you feel exhilarated and you can't describe it in just a few words.

"Let's go to the megastore!" Eduarda tugged on my shirt and we went in the store. There were the three new kits. The blue, the white and of course the best one, the red.
"Which one do you want sweetie?" I asked Eduarda who was looking at the red kit.
"This one" she pointed at the red kit.
"Okay then. Let's get it" I said and took it off the rack.

"Hello" I greeted the cashier in the front and laid down the kit.
"Hello! Aren't you rafaels sister?" He asked a bit excited.
"Yes I am! You actually recognized me!" I said a bit surprised. I don't get recognized often.
"Eduarda talks about you all the time when she comes in here with her dad" he said and I glanced at Eduarda who was smiling at me.

"Awww really?" I asked.
"Yes. She loves you very much. You're not paying for this. Go get the other kits also. You're part of the family so you get things for free" he explained to me. I feel dumb for not knowing that.

"Oh thank you! Go get them sweetie" I instructed Eduarda but she ran out of the door and towards the pitch.

"Eduarda come back" I shouted and chased after her. You may not know this but she's really fast. How can a six year old be so fast? She'd be a great footballer.

She ran into the pitch and into a room that said "dressing room" on it. I ran behind her and when I was about to come close to her, I saw a brown haired man who looked like he was about 6 foot changing.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry" I said trying to avoid eye contact but my burning cheeks were not allowing me to cope.
"Eduarda come on" I said trying not to speak to the half naked man in front of me.

"Don't worry about it" he shouted as I ran out of the room as soon as possible.

That's not how you want to meet someone for the first time. Awkward...
