Someday(Ander Herrera)

Chapter 5

Today the season finally starts. Manchester United face Swansea city at home. I was really excited for the match since we're going to see the first real glimpse of louis van Gaal. Also this time I'm not only there to support my brother but I'm also supporting Ander.

I put on my "rafael" Shirt, jeans and red vans. I applied a little bit of red lipstick but nothing else. I'm not a big fan of makeup. I put my straight black hair into a ponytail and I headed back to the livingroom.

"You ready?" I asked little Eduarda as she put on her tiny red shoes.
"Yeah! Daddy is going to win!" She said cutely and held my hand. Carla came downstairs with rafa and they were both ready to leave.

"Come on girls!" Rafa said and we followed him to the car. I sat in the backseat and pulled out my phone from my back pocket. I found a text from Ander and Kathy.

Ander: can't wait to see you in the crowd today 😁 xx
Me: Goodluck in your first premier league match and I can't wait to see Ya xx

It was the 28th minute and swansea have already scored. I can't say it's not dissapointing but we still have plenty of time to score and try to win. The team kept trying to put the ball in the net but it would just not work. My eyes diverted to Ander who was doing great for his home debut. He was one of the best on the pitch. The first half of the game ended and the players headed back to the lockerooms.

"We can do it, right?" Eduarda who was sitting between her mother and I asked dissappointently.
"Don't be sad Eduarda. The boys will try their hardest" I said and kissed her forehead. Seeing Eduarda sad is probably one of the worst things. She's always so happy and she's literal sunshine on earth.

Halftime was finally over and I saw a bit of a change in the squad. Jesse lingard was taken out due to injury and chicharito was taken out for Nani. At 53rd minute phil jones chiped the ball over wayne Rooney and he put the ball in the net by doing a bicycle kick.

The stadium exploded over the amazement of Wayne's fantastic goal and the fact that we finally equalized. Ander celebrated with wayne and looked over to my seat since we were so close to the pitch and smiled. I smiled back and blushed a little and it was enough for Carla to notice.

"What are you blushing about?" She said smirking.
"Nothing" I lied
"Is it him?" She asked glancing over Ander.
"No why?" I questioned. How could she possibly know?
"Maria, the entire game you didn't take your eyes off of him" she said making me even more red.
"Okay you got me" I chuckled
"I was like that with your brother and look at what happened now" she said pointing out the fact that they're happily married and they have Eduarda.
"I don't really think that our relationship will go anywhere. I mean he can get any woman in the world. I think we're just gonna be friends" I admitted.
"Why would you say that? I saw the way he looked at you. If anything, your relationship is going go farther than you expect" she comforted me.
"Thanks Carla"
"No problem. Anytime you want to talk, I'm here for you" she said and gave me a side hug. My attention drifted back to the game when swansea got control of the ball once again. The ball was passed to sigurdsson and he flawlessly put the ball through the net. David De Gea couldn't have done much about that one.

The fans still sung and cheered on the team even when the final whistle blew. We gave them our support till the very end but that couldn't change the fact that we lost our first game of the season, at home.

• Ander's POV •

We were simply unlucky. Everyone saw that we were the better side on the pitch today but that can't change the final result. I'm a bit dissappointed but there's still a long season ahead with plenty of fixtures. All we have to do is focus on the next match.

I got dressed and I left Juan and David to their conversation. I decided to text Maria and see if she wants to meet.

Me: Do you want to meet me in the park in a few minutes?
Maria: yeah of course. I'll just tell rafa that I need to go pick some things up before I start work again xx
Me: haha okay, see you in a few xx
Maria: see Ya :)

I spotted her sitting on the bench with her eyes wondering somewhere but not on me.
I took a seat next to her and she was silent. I put my hand over her hand but she just pulled away. She slid her phone into my hand so I can see what she was seeing.

I sighed and felt a million bricks falling over my head. Just another new media story trying to ruin another one of my relationships.

"What is this Ander?" She calmly asked.
"Are you actually going to believe them?" I snapped maybe a little too harsh.
"This is obviously you with some blond!" she snapped back.
"It is me and it is some blond but that was when I was in spain. I broke up with her when I came here. She's my past now maria. You have nothing to worry about" I said and put my arm around her.
She sat there in my arms a little and she finally said something.

"I'm sorry Ander"
"I'm sorry too" I said and kissed her head.
