Someday(Ander Herrera)

Chapter 3

I can't stop thinking about what happened with Ander yesterday. I sat in my room the entire time last night unable to sleep. I hate that I can't figure out how I feel about someone quickly. More importantly, how does Ander feel about me? Am I always going to be stuck in awkward situations with him? I haven't even said a hundred words to him and he's all I think about now. I sighed and rolled myself back to bed since I barely slept last night. I finally started to feel the comforting sense of my pillow hit my cheeks until Eduarda ran into my room.

"Auntie get up! Daddy's training session is in an hour! Come on get ready!" She said and tugged on my blanket.

"Alright Eduarda, I'm up now" I said and managed to lift myself off the bed. I miss it already.

I changed into Rafa's jersey, jeans and a red vans. I put my hair in a bun and applied a little bit of eyeliner and lipstick. If I'm going to go watch my brother train with world class players then the least I can do is look decent.

"You ready?" Rafa asked Eduarda and I.

"Yes let's go" I said and grabbed Eduarda's hand. We got in the car and rafa drove off to AON training complex.

I couldn't wait to see how the guys train since I've only been to one other training session and it was three years ago. Since I graduated college two years ago in journalism, I was fortunate enough to be hired by sky sports. I attended university in São Paulo, Brazil and that's where I started working. After the World Cup, sky sports moved me to england so I can work as a reporter for the premier league. I start that job next month when the premier league starts.

My first thoughts when we arrived were
A) THE PLACE IS HUGE
And B) this club is amazing. A man in the front who knows rafa very well took Eduarda to a kids area where they teach them basic football skills and they take care of them for a while. I thought that was pretty cool and maybe Eduarda can become a footballer after all.

I took a seat on the bench as rafa went to greet his teammates and manager and start training. I watched the players work hard and trying to earn their place under louis van gaal. I remembered interviewing him durning the World Cup for the netherlands national team post match interview against Argentina. He's a very honest man and to be honest, I'm terrified of him. Imagine trying to impress him.

I noticed that someone was missing. Ander Herrera. Where is he? He's supposed to be here, right? Wait, why do I care? "Stop rambling maria" I whispered to myself.

The weather was really warm today and the sun was piercing my skin. I decided to get some water since my mouth felt as dry as desert. I saw a vending machine when I walked in earlier so now I just need to remember where that was. I walked passed the equipment room and the cafeteria and I finally saw a vending machine. I pulled out a pound and inserted it into the machine. I waited for the bottle to fall out and I grabbed it.

I turned around and bumped into someone and my bottle fell. He bent down to get it for me. He got up for me to see his beautiful hazel eyes that make my heart skip a million beats. Our eyes met and our noses touched closer and eventually our lips. His lips were in sync with mine but it was time for me to realized that I'm not supposed to be doing this.

"This is wrong, I'm sorry" I said and pulled away. I grabbed my bottle and started to jog back to the pitch but his hands stopped me.

"Why can't this happen?" He said a bit too casual about the situation.

"Well I don't think you want to get killed anytime soon right? My brother would probably kill me too" I said bluntly.

"Can we at least give it a try?" He said and put his hand on my shoulder. I like him, I really do but I just don't know. Should I go through with it? Maybe my brother won't find out for a while.

"Okay" I said and put a smile on his face.

"Thank you. Where do you want to meet tomorrow?" He asked.

"Do you know the Vienna coffeehouse?" I asked.

"Yes, that's close to where I live" he said and I nodded.
"Alright then. See you tomorrow" I bit my lip and walked back to where I am supposed to be.

"What on earth did I just do?" I asked myself and sighed. I have a secret date with Ander Herrera. Wow.
