Let's just say that I'm a really awkward person and I don't understand how I even manage to interview footballers and get on TV for a living. I mean I think you can already see that I'm an awkward person, right?

I had three hours to prepare myself for the date and I have no idea what I'm doing. I haven't been on a date in ages since I've been so busy with my job and honestly I can't ever find the right guy.

I decided to call my best friend Kathy and tell her to come over so she can help me prepare. Kathy as always, accepts my offer. She's a great friend and she's always there for you no matter what.

"So you're going on a date with the Ander herrera?" Kathy asked with a surprised tone.
"Yes I am but you can't tell anyone about this. Rafa can find out. He'll murder me and ander"
"Awww you guys are like romeo and Juliet" she gushed and I laughed.
"Except only one side doesn't approve of this" I said as I flipped through the items in my closet. On a regular day it takes me over an hour to find what to wear. Imagine what it's like when you have a date with a footballer.

"What did you tell them?" She asked referring to Carla and rafa.

"I didn't tell them that I was going anywhere. I just thought that I would leave since I'm a grown women" I said and chuckled a little.

"Yeah you're right now let's get to the fun part. Show me what you have" she said and stepped closer to the closet so she can pick out my clothes. I stepped away and went to check my phone. I saw a text from Ander. He gave me his number after the training session yesterday and no one even noticed that we were talking. Maybe this could work after all.

Ander: can't wait to see you tonight xx
Me: same here xx

"How about you wear this bl-" Kathy was interrupted by the knocking on the door.
"Hey rafa what's up?" I said as I opened the door for my dashing looking brother. What is he so dressed up for?

"I need you to do me a favor. I need you to babysit Eduarda for a few hours" he said urgently. WHAT? WHY? I thought to myself.

"Why don't you just get a babysitter?" I suggested, making it sound obvious.
"I don't trust them. Maybe they'll try to poison her or something" he said. He's so naive.
"I wanna take Carla out by ourselves for a little while. We haven't been on a proper date in ages and I need to make it up for her" he explained and I nodded.

"Alright rafa. When are you leaving?"
"Right now. Eduarda is playing upstairs. Please watch her and thanks" he said and stepped out of my room. Carla accompanied him out of the door and they left in the car.

"What are you going to do? You can't go on your date" she sighed in a sad tone.

"I don't know" I said and sat on the bed. I guess I can just text him that I can't make it but I don't like doing that on the phone.

"Since you live by the café, can you go meet him and tell him about what happened?" I asked her.

"Yeah sure of course. He's going to be disappointed to see me show up instead of you" she said and chuckled.

"I'll write him a note and I'll give it to you" I said as I took out a piece of paper from my drawer. I thought about what I was going to write and put pencil through paper.

Hey Ander! I'm so so so so sorry for not making it today. I couldn't come because rafa wanted me to babysit my niece while he was out :/ I promise I'll make it up to you and I'm coming to your game this Saturday by the way! I hope you Understand and I'm so sorry again :'(

• Kathy's POV •

I got out of my car and checked if I dropped the note. Nope, I didn't lose it.
I walked in the coffeehouse and smelled the amazing smell of espresso. Maybe I'll pick up a cup before I leave. I spotted him sitting in the corner with David de gea and Juan Mata. David de gea and Juan Mata. Oh my good god.

"Stop fangirling kat" I whispered to myself and tried to approach them. What am I doing?

"Hi..I'm so sorry to bother you but I have something for you" I said nervously and pulled the note out of my bag.

"Are you Maria's friend, Kathy?" Ander herrera asked with a gorgeous smile.
"Yes I am. Here you go sir"
Really Kat, sir?
"Just call me Ander" he said smiling again.
"Here you go! Nice to meet you, I'm a huge fan" I said and looked at Juan & Dave who were smiling at me. I must seem like the creepiest person right now.
"Thank you so much! It was nice meeting you too! Hopefully we can see each other around!" He said.
"You bet!" I said and stumbled on the waiter behind me. He was holding hot coffee and he dropped it all over my shirt. I quickly covered it with my coat and ran out of the coffeeshop. Why can't things just go the way you want them to be?
