Marcus Rashford

7. First kiss

You watched the game intently, biting your nails down the the bare bone.

The Derby was getting more and more intense by the second, City having chances as well as United, the only thing keeping it a deadlock was the two keepers at either ends.

"The officials indicate that there will be 2 minutes of extra time."

2 minutes. 2 minutes to do something. Anything. At all.

Then it all went into chaos.

As Lindelof cleared a corner with a header, Martial ran to retrieve the ball and sprinted down the wings on his own. City players chasing after him at the sudden attack. The fans roaring as he did so. Greenwood caught up with him on the other side, and after making sure he wasn't offside, received the ball via a cross from Martial.

But there was no one there, no one in the box at all

I practically dug at my skin as I watched the scenes unfold. Greenwood battled the city players for the ball, but as the City players spent so much time focusing on Greenwood they didn't notice the United player slip through their defence.

And they didn't notice Greenwood slip the ball to the United player until it was too late.

And they didn't notice that he was unmarked.

Then the crowd roared.

"Oh that's fantastic play from United in the final minutes of the game. Absolutely brilliant. It's Marcus Rashford who has won it!"

The City players collapsed to the ground in defeat as the United players sprinted after Rashie, Wrapping him in a tight embrace as he dedicated his goal, although I couldn't see to who. Marcus crashed to the ground as I screamed in joy and hugged my friend next to me before Marcus came over to me.

We all got caught up in a tight huddle as Old Trafford sang 'Glory Glory Man United'.

I didn't even realise I was crying.

Through the crowds Marcus made his way over to me.

"Y/N!" He shouted, picking me up and spinning me around as I giggled, "Did you see that? Did you see it! Ahhh! I did it! I did it for us! I did it for you!"

I hugged him tighter, my hands finding his hair and holding him close, " I know! You were amazing! I told you, you could do it. You're just incredible, My Rashie."

He smiled brightly, before his eyes traced from his eyes to my lips, and he kissed me gently, butterflies racing through my stomach. I loved him so much.

"I dedicated it to you, the goal I mean," He gushed, after we broke apart.

I blushed as he picked me up and spun me round.
