“Hey this is Aubrey.I’m not here right now, so leave a message! Make it short, make it sweet, or I’ll have to press delete.” I ended the call ready to call back. “Hey this is Aubrey.I’m not here right now, so leave a message! Make it short, make it sweet, or I’ll have to press delete.” I ended the call for the tenth time banging my head on the wall missing my best friend. After losing my childhood friend to breast cancer I needed time to be alone. Thankfully my manager and the club understood and gave me time to grieve.
It’s been two weeks since and I’m slowly getting better as the days pass on. Getting back into routine with working out and focusing on my diet. However, I still have my moments. It’s bad to say I’ve been ignoring phone calls from friends and family. I know if I answer those calls I would break down and start from square one. Guillermo, my agent, visits me almost daily to get me out of my house and he’s been a real help.
Closing my bedroom door I head down stairs to make myself dinner, Honey garlic glazed salmon. As I am in the kitchen setting up to cook my doorbell rings. Thinking perhaps it’s Guillermo left something behind like last time I opened the door expecting him to say something cheesy to annoy me.
“Yes Guiller—-mo” I was caught off guard. There she, Alexia, was right in front of me with flowers and a card. She looked good but I don’t know what to feel. “Hey” the Barcelona captain says as I stare off. “Can I come in?” She chuckles. “Uhhhh yeah sure. Sorry I’m just—-yeah come in.” I close the door behind her. What did she want with me? I mean I haven’t seen her since—well since the break up last year. A part of me feels happy but the other feels guilty of my actions.
“These are for you” she hands me the flowers and card. “Thank you” I say as I go to set them down at an end table near my front door. Once the flowers were set I turned back to Alexia. She had a soft smile observing the pictures hung on my walls. “I still have that picture on my wall too.” Confused for a second I looked up to see the picture. I was lying on Alexia facing her with her arms wrapped around me both smiling at each other with heart eyes. “That was a great day” I said with my hands now in my sweatpants.
To be quite honest I forgot the picture was even there. After the break up I did my best to ignore anything that included Alexia or even reminded me of her. We both stood in silence before I realized how awkward it was. “I’ve heard about Aubrey…” she said with a look of sympathy. I looked down at the floor scratching my head not wanting to cry.
Hearing her footsteps on the wooden floors coming closer to me I held my breath looking up at her. She reached in for a hug squeezing me tight and I breathed heavily feeling myself get emotional. “Sorry for your loss” she rubbed my back. “Yeah…” The hug was nice but I needed to get my mind off of Aubrey. “Would you like to stay for dinner?” I said. Alexia nodded and followed me to the kitchen.
A couple glasses of wine later and we were laughing and chatting about the good memories. “Do you remember the first time we had sex?” Alexia asked giggling. I giggled with her “Oh my god yes!” Slapping my hand on her thigh. “You were supposed to have locked the door” I Embarrassingly remembered as we continued to talk about that night as Alexia found it funny “I looked up and there was Aubrey trying to hold in laughter” Alexia bursted out with laughter.
Seeing her laugh so much at an embarrassing memory I smiled enjoying the moment. “You were…” she paused, staring into my eyes. “What happened—“ “to us?” I interrupted finishing her question. “Well I fucked it up. It was a huge mistake that I’ll regret for the rest of my life.” Staring back into her eyes. Alexia looked away so I grabbed her hand. “I’ll never find someone like you.” She looked back at me with her lips partially open ready to say something but she stopped.
A minute had gone by and she stood up from the chair. “I’m gonna leave. I have a match tomorrow evening against atlético.” She said, grabbing her coat from behind the chair then walked to the door as I followed where she turned to face me “I-It was nice seeing you.” She smiled. “Y/n, take care of yourself.” Alexia gave me a hug kissing my cheek. Not sure if it was the wine or seeing her for the first time in a while I was definitely feeling something and knew I wanted to make it known.
Squeezing her tight with my head buried in her shoulder I picked my head up looking at her. It was like I had hearts in my eyes. Feeling something so nice after a break up and then losing my best friend I gave Alexia a passionate kiss. Her eyes widened as she didn’t know what was going on. Alexia gave me a slight push, clearly uncomfortable from the unexpected kiss.
A bit embarrassed I scratched my head “sorry” I said as Alexia just stood there. I wasn’t sure what I should do or say so I stayed quiet looking down at the floor. Alexia stepped up to me “No, I’m sorry.” She kissed me. So many butterflies filled my stomach. Our hearts beat quickly as we moved our way up stairs to my bedroom tripping everywhere.
“Ahhhh” I quietly said as Alexia slammed my back against the hallway wall. “Are you okay?” She breathlessly asked. “Yeah I’m fine.” I said kissing her. Alexia picked me up and wrapped my legs around her as she approached my bedroom kicking the door open. She set me on the bed getting on top of me ripping my shirt off then kissing me as we moaned loudly.
I woke up and lifted my head up as I heard the birds chirping outside my window. Seeing the sun slowly creeping into my bedroom I yawned and rested my head back onto Alexia’s chest. Feeling her all over again and hearing her lunges fill up with air I breathe a sigh of relief. I trailed my finger on her chest and noticed she had gotten a new tattoo on her arm. “Eleven” I said out loud. “Hhmmm?” Alexia had woken up rubbing her hand on my back.
“Hey, good morning.” I kissed her on the lips. She rubbed her eyes, removing the sleep from them. “Good morning” her raspy morning voice said. “Slept good?” I asked. Alexia ran her fingers through my hair “yes, I did.” She smirked, giving me a wink. Last night was amazing with her. She made me feel loved and I think we could start seeing each other again. Feeling like I could go for some more fun I began to kiss her chest. Alexia smiled and then hummed “I would love to stay but I have to go.” Her fingers twirled in my hair.
I smiled and nodded getting out of bed with her. Putting on my robe as she put her clothes back on I left the bedroom to make myself some coffee. Minutes later Alexia came down stairs. Taking a sip of my coffee I feel her come behind me wrapping her arms around my waist giving me a peck on the back of my neck. “I had a great time last night.” She kissed my neck again then rested her head on me for a few seconds. “Okay, well I’ll see you soon?” She asked before walking out the door. “Yes, I’ll see you soon.” I smiled as she left my house.

“What do you think (Y/N)?” Millie sits next to you, wrapping an arm around your shoulder in an attempt to force you to join the conversation that is occurring throughout the locker room.
You just shrug, ducking your head to avoid the stares of your teammates, not feeling comfortable with all the eyes that are now focused on you.
“I’m taking that as a vote for Dive” Millie proclaims triumphantly to the group.
“It only counts if she is coming out with us” Ella retorts, not wanting Millie’s restaurant choice to be the one that they have to go out to.
“Come on (Y/N), you have to come, it’s a team dinner” Millie explains, you can feel her eyes boring into your side even though you aren’t looking at her.
“Um yeah I’ll come” you speak quietly, your voice drowned out by Millie’s excited cheering as your vote is officially the one that allows her option to win.
You feel the attention that was just completely focused on you dissipate, likely due to it now being on Millie who is dancing around the room excitedly cheering.
You take the chance to look up again, as you do you are met with the sight of Ona still looking at you, a softness in her eyes. She notices you looking at her and sends you a small smile, you smile back but almost immediately you bow your head again feeling your cheeks heat up.
The next few minutes are spent quickly packing your training gear, hoping that you are not roped into any other situations that draw the team’s attention towards you.
Just as you are about to leave the locker room you feel a slight hold on your arm, it isn’t rough, in fact the colporate has very soft hands and the grip is in no way uncomfortable or hurtful to you.
You look towards the person who has a hold on your arm, again meeting the soft eyes of your Spanish teammate. Once you realise it is her you look down again, your vision now focused on her hand that is still wrapped around your wrist and the tingling of your skin from the goosebumps that her touch has given you.
Ona looks down to where you are looking, immediately removing her hand, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to be weird, I just wanted to say that I am really excited that you agreed to come out to dinner with us, it will be a good time” she explains quickly.
“You weren’t being weird, don’t worry. Also um thank you? S-see you tonight then I guess?” you speak awkwardly, getting nervous in the middle of your sentence causing you to slightly stutter and speak in a confused tone which is not at all how you wanted to come across to your new teammate who you may or may not be crushing on.
“Yep, see you tonight (Y/N)” Ona speaks, her tone so carefree and confident. You wish you were able to be that comfortable speaking but to you any time there is an expectation or form of attention on you when you try to speak you completely shut down.
“See you then” you whisper, noticing as you speak that Ona has already left the room making you feel slightly dejected.
-
“(Y/N) you made it!” Millie yells as you walk into the restaurant not even allowing time for the hostess to speak to you. Instead she pulls you away from the hostess stand immediately. At first you assumed it would be to the table where the team are sitting but you instead end up standing at the bar with her as she orders the two of you shots.
“Take this” she hands you one of the four shots she ordered.
You do as she says hoping that you won’t regret trusting her later. As soon as you down the first shot she is handing you the second, looking at you expectantly waiting for you to take that one as well. You throw all caution to the wind taking that shot.
“How are you feeling?” Millie asks after the two shots, hoping that a little alcohol is all you will need to actually feel comfortable speaking to the team.
“Yeah fine, you aren’t expecting me to feel drowsy or anything, you didn’t spike them right?” a joking tone falling easily from your lips as you tease Millie.
“There is no way that all it took for you to banter with me was two shots” Millie exclaims in shock.
“Are you implying I’m easy Turner?” you ask, raising an eyebrow.
“OMG! I love this so much, come with me now, the rest of the team need to see this” she drags you towards the table where a number of your teammates are sitting. Your eyes caught Ona who is sitting at the end of the booth seating, furthest away from where you are standing with Millie.
“Okay guys I have something incredible to show you” Millie speaks loudly, catching the attention of everyone at the table, “Go ahead (Y/N), show them”
“I’m not a dog Millie, it’s not like you just taught me a new trick” you tease, laughter coming from around the table as well as some gasps.
“What did you do to her?” Mary asks, causing more laughter.
“Not too much, apparently after 2 shots, (Y/N/N) is down to banter” she explains.
“Okay is your show and tell over Millie? Can I take a seat now?” you give her an odd look, where one eyebrow is furrowed and the other is raised, it causes her to laugh loudly before she motions her hand towards the table, a sign that you are free to sit and socialise with the rest of your teammates.
Even though you so badly want to sit and talk with Ona, you instead decide to avoid that end of the table knowing that two shots are definitely not enough for you to confidently speak to the Spaniard you are crushing on. Instead you take a seat at the complete opposite side of the table.
You sit talking with Ella and Alessia, the two of them firing questions at you, quickfire style trying to find out as much as possible about you in case they don’t have the opportunity to speak to you like this again.
“Favourite colour?”
“Cerulean”
“Favourite movie?”
“Flightplan”
“Number of siblings?”
“Eight”
“Favourite animal?”
“Axolotl”
“If you weren’t playing football what would you do?”
“Work for NASA”
“Favourite Song?”
“La Copa de la Vida by Ricky Martin”
“(Y/N) in the best way possible you are so damn weird, I absolutely love it” Ella exclaims, herself and Alessia giggling at every single answer you have given them not expecting such random answers for everything.
“Why thank you” you laugh too, you know that your interests and favourite things are extremely random. You are just thankful that they genuinely seem to be laughing with you and not at you like many people had in the past.
You are brought out of your thoughts by Millie sitting next to her, you smile at her sweetly.
“I’m sorry if the teasing was too much before, I just thought it may be a fun way to break the ice and also I am a lightweight so those two shots definitely did enough for me” you explain.
“You don’t have to apologise at all (Y/N), all your jokes were hilarious and I am just happy that you are feeling comfortable enough to interact with us more. Although I know there is one person here who you want to interact with but you are too nervous too which is why I got you this” she holds out another shot, encouraging you to take it.
You take the shot quickly, “who do you think I am too nervous to interact with?” you challenge her, in your head you know you have been too scared to actually speak to Ona but she wouldn’t know that, right? Wrong.
“I’ve seen you longingly looking at Ona all night, she likes you too just go talk to her” Millie urges you to go and speak with Ona, knowing that there is little chance that you would actually do it on your own.
“No I’m alright, thanks anyway” you fake laugh off her comment hoping she accepts what you have said and leaves it alone. But of course this is Millie Turner you are talking about so there is no way that she will leave it alone, which she doesn’t.
Millie grabs your arm, just like Ona had early except her hands aren’t extremely soft like Ona’s are and her grasp doesn’t give you goosebumps like Ona’s does.
She drags you towards the end of the table where Ona is sitting having a conversation with Ivava, she lets go of your arm and pushes your shoulders down into the chair across the table from Ona.
“Hi” you speak to Ona through a sigh, looking back at Millie who is looking at you, she gives you two thumbs up and a goofy smile before walking away. Ivana also dips out of the conversation she was having with Ona. She turns to talk to another of your teammates, leaving just you and Ona to make conversation.
“Hey, I’m glad you could make it, are you enjoying the evening?” she asks, a look of genuine interest on her face. Her hands rest on her chin and she maintains sweet eye contact with you, proving that she is ready to intently listen to whatever you have to say.
“Yeah it has been good actually, I’m glad Millie made me come and that she gave me those shots, it has made things exponentially easier, especially this” you motion between the two of you in reference to the conversation that you are currently having.
“You think it would be hard to talk to me?” Ona asks, behind the question there is an air of disappointment. Obviously she is aware that you haven’t spoken to the team much before this unless it was on the pitch. She had some hope though that you could possibly feel comfortable talking to her more once you got more settled in but from your tone it seems to her that you are the least comfortable around her.
“Well I find it hard to talk to everyone but it is a lot harder to gain the courage to speak to beautiful girls” you immediately slap your hands over your mouth as soon as your sentence is complete.
“I m-meant ahhh look it it’s just-”
“I like it when you talk, a lot” Ona states, a small giggle escaping her lips as she speaks, finding your nervousness absolutely adorable.
“You mean that?” you ask in shock.
“Of course I do, I have been infatuated with you from the moment you walked into the locker room on your first day” Ona explains.
“Do you want to go on a date with me?” you blurt out, a sudden confidence coming over you.
“I would love to, also remind me to thank Millie for giving you alcohol, it is the smartest thing she has ever done”
“It’s the only smart thing she’s done in recent times that’s for sure” you joke, the comment causes you and Ona to crack up laughing as the rest of the table watches on knowing they have just experienced the beginning of an adorable love story.

“Alba!” you yell once you spot your older cousin sitting in the stands.
“Mi prima pequeña” Alba jumps up from her seat pulling you into a forcefully tight hug, “you are never allowed to leave the country again” she informs you, still holding onto you.
“I don’t think I want to, I can’t handle the cold” you shiver remembering the freezing nights you spent tossing and turning in an attempt to warm yourself to no avail while in Sweden.
“Did you at least find a hot Swedish girlfriend?” Alba asks, laughing as you look at her with a look of disapproval.
“What? only hook ups? That’s my girl!” Alba speaks proudly.
“I didn’t hook up with anyone and I definitely didn’t get a Swedish girlfriend” you sigh in annoyance at your older cousin’s antics.
“Come on (Y/N) the Swedes are an attractive bunch, as if you didn’t even kiss at least one?”
“If you think the Swedes are so hot you move there and get a girlfriend” you huff, although you can’t help but laugh at the end of your sentence, knowing that Alba exclusively dates Alexia’s teammates so her dating anyone else would be highly unlikely.
“No need to move to Sweden. I’m working on that one” Alba points you in the direction of Fridolina.
“Really?” you question with a laugh, not really surprised that she is working on dating another of Alexia’s teammates.
“She isn’t gay from what I know”
“When did that ever stop you before?” you laugh, Alba’s stories of helping ‘straight’ girls explore their sexuality being a staple conversation piece at your family events.
“It hasn’t and it won’t now, don’t be surprised when we start dating” Alba informs you with a cheeky smile.
“Oh I won’t be” you shake your head, moving your head to focus on the pitch, ready to watch the game that is about to begin.
-
As the game comes to an end you cheer excitedly, always happy to watch your cousin play but even more happy when she is able to win.
Alexia spots Alba in the crowd, having expected her to be there but when she notices you sitting next to her she is absolutely shocked. You weren’t supposed to be home for around another month and to say your oldest cousin had been missing you was an understatement.
“Mi dulce primo bebé” Alexia hugs you tightly.
“Holi Lexi” you reply, a sweet giggle escaping your lips as she ruffles your hair due to the nickname that only you are allowed to call her.
“You are never leaving the country again, you hear me?” she speaks sternly.
“I already told her that and found out that she didn’t even get a hot Swedish girlfriend or hook up with anyone” Alba informs her older sister, earning her a slap up the side of her head.
“You are such a bad influence, and no girlfriends for you until you are older” Alexia informs you, the smile on her face indicating that she is partially joking but you know as her baby cousin that she most definitely isn’t.
“I am older though, I’m not a baby anymore” you whine, this causes Alba to laugh at the fact that you are acting like a baby and Alexia to give what could only be described as the look a mother gives their toddler when they are about to do something wrong.
“Fine” you sigh, “no girlfriends until I’m older”
-
“Who is that with Alexia?” Jana asks Jenni, not be able to take her eyes off you as you continue catching up with your two cousins.
“That is Alexia’s cousin, (Y/N). She must have just come home, she was studying in Sweden” Jenni answers absentmindedly. “Why?” she snaps out of her daze when she realises that Jana is asking about you.
“She is the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen” Jana answers in some sort of daze herself, obviously experiencing some type of love at first sight type of feelings.
“Come with me, I want to see her anyway” Jenni pulls Jana along, not allowing time for arguments even though there is none from the young defender.
“(Y/N)!” Jenni yells as she approaches you, catching your attention quite easily with how loud she yells.
“Jenni!” you giggle pulling her into a hug when she reaches you.
“Who is this?” you ask, pointing at Jana, who is standing quietly.
Jenni nudges Jana harshly which forces a yelp of pain out of her lips.
While that is happening Alexia takes it upon herself to introduce the player to you, “that is my teammate Jana, she isn’t too much older than you”
“Well nice to meet you Jana” you hold out your hand, waiting for her to shake yours, not wanting to be too forward as to hug her immediately.
Clearly Jana has other ideas though as she does pull you into a hug, “it’s nice to meet you (Y/N), I hope to see more of you?” she speaks in a questioning tone.
“Yeah I’m back in Barcelona for good so you’ll probably see me at a few games” you inform her, a redness covering your cheeks at both the hug and her mentioning wanting to see you more.
“Great I can’t wait” she responds quickly, turning away letting the blush take over her cheeks.
“So (Y/N), no Swedish girlfriend but you will have a Spanish one in no time” Alba teases, “I always knew you would take after me” she holds her hands over her heart, a look of pride on her face.
“Please do not follow in Alba’s footsteps” Alexia tells you, her stern looks scaring you slightly.
“No dating until I’m older” you throw your hands in the air, claiming innocence as the girls around you giggle at how easily you listen to what Alexia tells you to do.
