Waiting on the wonderkid

Chapter 9

United have their match against Newcastle tomorrow.
There are still injuries brewing amongst the team but this is the chance for the other players to have their time on the pitch. Hopefully adnan plays.

"Well hello their Adnan's girlfriend," Saeed spoke.
"Heeeyyyy," I grinned.
"Thank you for not telling me," he acted hurt.
"It's not my fault I was asleep when you got in," I stuck my tongue out.
"And how did Ahmed know Adnan was going to ask me out?"
"Uhm.. We both did.." He looked at me with a shy face "Adnan came to talk to us about taking you out and asking you to be his girlfriend, he wanted to run it by us first," he explained.
Aw that was so cute of him!
"Oohhhh."
"By the way your phone has been ringing all morning, I had to answer it to tell Paddy to shut up because we were sleeping."
"Oh sorry, I left my phone on charge downstairs when I got back," I giggled.
"It's fine, he wanted to tell you something," he explained.
"Alright I'll ring him now, thanks Saeed," I spoke as he walked to the kitchen.
"I'm going over to Sabina's in a bit and Zara is coming over here," he told me his plans for the day.
"Okay," i walked over to where my phone was now unplugged from the charger and rang Paddy.

He picked up after three rings.
Paddy: 'it's about time girl," he sounded annoyed.
Me: 'sorry I left my phone downstairs," I apologised.
Paddy: 'congratulations, Adnan told me this morning,' his voice laced with excitement.
Me: 'thank you paddy, I was going to tell you once I was up but clearly you were eager,' I laughed into the phone.
Paddy: 'clearly,' he laughed 'I was over Adnan's this morning and he wasn't well.'
Me: 'what do you mean?'
Paddy: 'he's in bed and really ill. The doctor is going to see him in a bit but he wanted me to tell you that he'll see you later tonight,' he spoke.
Me: 'aw bless him,' I frowned 'thanks, I'll check on him now.'
Paddy: 'no problem sista, see you later.'
Me: 'bye.'
I hung up and quickly clicked on Adnan's name.
He picked up after six rings.
Adnan: 'hey,' his voice was groggy, stuffy and he sounded extremely tired.
Me: 'hey, how are you feeling?' I was worried because he was fine last night.
Adnan: 'Not the greatest,' he let out a low raspy laugh 'how are you?'
Me: 'I'm not important right now, what's wrong?'
Adnan: 'yes you are, how are you hannah? And I'm just unwell, sore throat and ears, headache, drowsiness and feeling sick,' he listed.
Me: 'did this happen during the night because you were fine yesterday? Have you taken anything to help?' I asked question after question.
I could hear laughing on the other ends
Me: 'what?'
Adnan: 'it's cute how worried you are,' he chuckled 'yes I've taken 2 paracetamols and yeah I had a fever in the night,' he answered 'hannah how are you?'
Me: ' I'm good. Do you need anything?'
Adnan: 'I'm glad and no thanks I'm good for now, the doctor's here so I'll ring you when he's gone,' he said before we both said bye and hung up.

I want to go over to Adnan's house... I don't know where he lives but I'll just have to get his address from Paddy.
I iMessaged Paddy.
'Me: Patrick, what's Adnan's address?'
'Paddy🏃: not telling you.'
'Me: please I need to go and see him.'
'Paddy🏃: sorry Han but Adnan told me not to let you over until he feels better👋'
'Me: Paddy pleaaaassseeee tell me! My baby is ill I need to go and see him😩'
'Paddy🏃: No.'
'Me: fine I'll ask one of the other boys✋'
'Paddy🏃: good luck'

I text James.
'Me: James, can you give me Adnan's address please?'
No response so I text Andreas too.
'Me: Andreas, can you give me Adnan's address please?'

James replied 5 minutes later.
'James⛄️: Sorry but he's told me not too. Congrats by the way,'
'Me: thank you. I need to check on him!!'
'James⛄️: sorry Hannah'
