Amelie

"you should come to our training." my brother said through the phone.

from what he said, the Portugal team is training for the World Cup in a like a week, which to be honest, i didn't even know it was happening.

as much as i don't want to go, because it doesn't interest me whatsoever, i want to be a good little sister and support him.

also i really want to spend time with him.

"i guess i'll go so you don't shit on me for not going." i said chuckling.

"you better."

>>

Cristiano let me go in his private jet since i was only coming for a day here in Portugal.

i sat there in my car, debating if i should really spend my sunday afternoon here.

i'm all for being with Cristiano but i much rather be spending it with Gavi to be honest.

after our date that day we can't stop talking with each other. either he calls me or i do, sometimes even twice a day.

we've spent all of our off days together. he's just the guy i'm looking for.

we haven't made it official though. i wouldn't say he's my 'boyfriend' or anything, but i sure as hell want to.

i sighed, eventually getting out of my car into the training place.

i didn't immediately see people on the field, maybe one or two, but not the whole team.

i entered the building, then hearing loud chattering, guessing they're there.

i peaked in the room seeing the whole team there.

most of them were just talking with each other, i guess training hasn't started yet.

and i thought i was late.

soon Cristiano noticed me and gave me the tightest hug.

"i've missed you so much Amelie!" he said, his face snuggled in my hair.

"me too Cris, how's everything going?"

we finally pulled away from our hug, still thrilling from excitement.

"everything's fine, oh by the way, i saw your last few shows, i didn't even recognize you! i'm so proud of you."

seriously he needs to stop i'm going to cry.

"i appreciate it, maybe you can attend one after the world cup."

the team went out on the field and started their typical routine.

i took a seat in the bench on the side, simply watching them.

"sorry i'm late."
the damn voice.

i looked to my left to where the voice was coming. i wasn't wrong, it was him.

he came in like he owned the place. smiling more than usual. i don't think he's noticed me yet.

i see him greet the guys one by one before he turned my way, i think to put his bag away. then he just stops and he sees me.

his smile slowly faded along with furrowing his eyebrows.

"you've got to be kidding me." he said under his breath but it was clearly audible to me.

i rolled my eyes and said..

"i'm here for my bother dumbass, don't think i'm here to stalk you."

"oh really? you know deep inside you enjoy seeing me here."

he hasn't been anymore wrong.

"calm your ego down, i have no interest in football, i just wanted to see my brother."

at the mention of Cristiano, he walks up to us greeting João.

Cris is completely oblivious of our dislike for each other. he barely knows that i know his name.

"João! long time no see, you already know my little sister right?"

João turned to me looking me up and down.

"oh i surely know her, how could i forget?"

>>

"thank you for coming, i know it's not the most fun thing on earth but it means a lot to me." Cristiano said holding my hands, almost squeezing them, goddamn he's strong as fuck.

"i surprisingly enjoyed it, most of your teammates were really nice and welcoming, and i obviously wanted to come and visit you."

"you want to come with us to eat? i'm inviting the whole team out." he asked me.

going with the whole team? that means...

"no thank you Cris, i'm tired i just need some sleep."

"aw come on Amelie! we barely spend time together, this place is known for having good food too, before sleeping get you a good ass meal."

i can't really say no to him cant i?

"alright, you win."

>>

"we won't fit in here." i said looking at the filled car seats in front of me.

"sure we can, just make space, guys scoot over."

we decided to take the van, which wasn't that big to be honest.

"Cristiano, we're literally squished together..." Diogo said.

"Amelie just sit on someone's lap at this point, the restaurant isn't far away either way."

great. just great.

this is about to get uncomfortable, awkward and dreadful.

suddenly i got an idea.

i walked up to the other side of the van and hopped in to where João was sitting, he was looking out the window , not noticing me coming his way.

"can i sit here?" i said making him jolt and finally notice me.
i internally chuckled, i love catching him off guard.

"excuse you?" he raised his eyebrows, clearly confused.

"there's no spaces left, i got told to sit in someone's lap, you volunteer?"

he was flabbergasted to say the least.

"no! you can't, i have a girlfriend."

i couldn't have rolled my eyes harder than i had right now.

"i'm not trying to hit on you weirdo, you're just the only one i know, i don't want to be seated with strangers."

"João just let Amelie sit, you're acting like a 13-year-old boy, are you scared of girls or something?" a teammate of his yelled through the van.

João sighed in defeat.

"i guess you can.." he said in the quietest voice i've ever heard him speak in.

i sat on his lap while leaning in the seat in front.

"you live putting me in these awkward situations don't you ?" he suddenly said in my ear. i got startled by the closeness.

i looked back at him and nodded.

"yes that's my goal every time , you're so funny to embarrass."

"you think you're so fucking funny."

"clearly i am."

a sudden harsh turn made everyone alarm and hanged on for their life.

two pairs of hands attached to my waist during this. catching me off guard.
that wasn't necessary...

when the car was back to normal you could hear the amount of sighs of relief around the car.

"okay Felix, i know you're enjoying this but get your hands off me right now."
i said turning to me.

he looked confused and then realized what i was talking about.

he quickly let go of me and looked away.

i see someone got shy.

as we got there we all got out of the car.

João is still avoiding eye contact. he's acting as if he's never held a girl before, for real.

i then got a text. from Leticia.

girl they caught you.

it read, with a link attached to it.
my eyes furrowed at the text.

caught me?

i opened the link leading me to the a news page.

the title reading...

'Amelie Ronaldo and Pablo Gavi? Fans speculate the two might be dating! '

shit.
