One of the things about my brother rafa is that he doesn't understand how important some things are. He decided to tell me an hour before the event that the manager scheduled a team dinner today and the players can bring their families with them. I had no time to prepare. I mean he doesn't realize how important he is. It's funny sometimes.

Since yesterday, I couldn't stop thinking about how I walked in on that man when he was changing. Don't get me wrong, he's gorgeous but that's not exactly how you want to meet someone for the first time. He probably hates me already.

I shrugged off my thoughts and I picked out the clothes to wear. I decided to wear a turquoise sundress since it's the summer and it's pretty warm. I wore white flats, new earrings and yellow bangles. I loosend my dark brown hair and applied light makeup. Eduarda came in my room and she had a beautiful pink dress on that made her look even cuter than she already is.
"I want makeup!" Eduarda said as she sat in my lap.
"Alright. Just a little. Mommy doesn't like makeup" I said and applied lipgloss on her little lips. I gave her a hand mirror so she can check herself out.

"I love it! Thanks auntie maria!" She thanked me excitedly and she left the room so she can show her mom.

I walked in the restaurant with my brother, sister in law and my niece. The rest of the team were already there and I remembered that I interviewed a few of them before in the World Cup. Juan Mata, David de gea and Robin Van persie.

The team greeted us and Rafael immediately went over to talk. We took our seats and I noticed that the brown haired man with the beautiful hazel eyes was here. I immediately wanted to hide and stuff myself where he couldn't see me. I couldn't face him. The guilt and embarrassment were eating me alive. Rafael gestured for me to sit down and gave me the "what the hell is with you" look. I had my back to the man and I think rafael called him ander. I decided to not pay attention and just focus on the dinner.

The manager gave a speech about how welcoming the team has been to him and he wished them a good season. Louis van gaal(manager) was the manager for the netherlands national team and he took them to third place in the World Cup. I trust that he can bring the good times back to the team. We applauded him once he toasted a good season and happiness all around. We started to order and I chose the chicken fresco and a glass of wine. I wanted to drink but not too much.

Twenty minutes later, the waiter came back with our orders. He started to pour wine for me and Carla and as he was pouring mine, a waitress bumped into him and he spilled the entire bottle on me. All of it. I gasped in digust and ran to the family restroom to try and clean it up. I don't think that will work. I heard the waiter continuing to apologize and somone shouted that they will come help me. I pulled out a few paper towels and put them in water so I can try to get the wine off. Someone came in the family restroom and when I turned to see who it is, it was ander. I felt my cheeks get bloody hot and red.

"Let me help you" ander said and started doing the same thing I was doing and it appeared to work. After about a 100 attempts the dress was still a bit red but it wasn't that bad anymore.

"Thank you so much" I said and looked into his eyes making heavy contact.
"No problem. Happy to help" he said and our faces got closer. My cheeks were getting hotter as our noses edged in contact. Just before our lips could collide, I pulled away and ran back out to the restaurant just to make it more awkward between us than it already is.
