to cheat oneself out of loyalty

11/11/19

The following day while she left Trent to resume his slumber in her bedroom, the french player slipped out of her room in advance to prepare herself for her trip abroad to France once again, making sure she'd all her necessary items for the occasion. With club football on a fortnight pause, Wynter had to retreat back to her motherland for the Euro Qualifiers which has been occurring monthly since the season restarted.

As much as she loved the international break along with Les Bleus, she couldn't lie to herself – she wasn't as thrilled for the break as she usually would. I mean, she only celebrated her birthday the day prior to the current one and after the previous night with Trent, the pair's closed-off moments still clear in her mind, she wasn't all for floating astray from the scouse.

However, Wynter knew better than to allow her relationship cloud her train of thought and so with much reluctance, she unclung her bare body from Trent's to go about her business for the morning.

After she'd gotten herself cleaned up for the day, already dressed in her FFF clothing and made sure her luggage and carrier bags were placed in the hallways, Wynter relocated to her kitchen where she sat on her counter, a spoon in her mouth from the cereal she ate while she scrolled through her socials aimlessly, consuming all her time before she was to depart from her household. As she was in the middle of leaving a comment under Nate's post, she received a message from Gini.

WHAT IS THIS?!

Even before glancing at the attachment that Gini sent, the french player already had an idea in mind as to what he was going on about. So when she finally got a glimpse of the photo, her pride didn't allow her to hold back a soft I knew it. The photo showcased a stuffed guinea pig sporting Gini's Dutch jersey.

"What's gotten you all happy so early in the morning?" A voice spoke, letting a yawn escape from their mouth. Wynter looked up from her phone to seize a fine view of a shirtless Trent.

She removed the spoon from her mouth. "Eh, it's just Gini," she said, placing her phone on the kitchen counter. "He's just complaining about the stuffed toy I gave him."

"There's no surprise there," he made his way over to Wynter's fridge, grabbing himself a bottle of water. "How did you two even manage to get each other gifts that have some relevance to your names anyway?"

"Virgil overheard Gini talking about getting me a Winnie the Pooh stuffed toy," she took a sip of the remaining milk in the bowl before she resumed speaking, wiping the corner of her mouth. "He only told me because he thought Gini was joking about getting me one so I thought why not get him one?"

"That's nice of you, huh?"

She frowned. From his bland response to the fallen atmosphere in the room, Wynter instantly detected Trent's sullen mood which is why she took the opportunity to understand why. "Hey, what's up?"
