Always and Forever

twenty eight

Today was the day i went back home. I got off the plane and found Alexia and Patri waiting on me. I ran and i mean ran to them. I jumped into Patri's arms and she spun me around.

"Miss me?"
She asked, lightly smirking.

"More than you know"
i said with a light smile on my face. I stood in Patri's arms for a few minutes. It felt right.

"Hello. I'm here too"
Alexia said sounding offended. I laughed and let go of Patri. I jumped into Alexia's arms.

"I missed you Ale!"

"I missed you so, so much"

"Can we go?"
The girls nodded.

Today started of hectic. I arrived home and the first thing i done was put my Barcelona tracksuit on as today i was signing my extension. Mapi was now over so Alexia left Patri with Mapi and dropped me off at the facilities where i would be signing my new deal. I got out of the car and walked in. I was greeted by the boss, Jonatan Giráldez.

It didn't take long. I signed my deal and got photos taken. After that was done i took part in an interview for Barca. The interview was in English. Thankfully. I sat down on a chair across from the interviewer.

"Congratulations on the new deal Sophie. How does it feel?"

"I'm really happy and excited. This is a great club and this is where i want to be"

"You joined on a two year deal a few months ago and you have now extended for an extra year. What made you want to extend so early on in your Barcelona career?"

"Everything. I love everything about this club and i'm so happy here. I love the club, my teammates, the country, the fans and the staff. I'm enjoying my football and seeing how much this club believes in me makes me so happy. I want to commit my future to this club. This is my club now. My home. I love it here"

"How hard was it making the move from your childhood club?"

"It was hard, so hard but i knew i had to do it. It was a risk, a big risk but i took it and i'm so glad i did. I had never left England before and i was moving to a country that speaks a different language. It was going to be a real challenge but it was a lot easier than i expected. The girls are my family and i'm so glad they can speak English."

"How have the fans welcomed you?"

"After my debut, i met them for the very first time and i felt nothing but love and joy. I couldn't understand them and they couldn't understand me but i could feel the love. In that moment, i knew that i had made the right decision. I felt at home. The fans are absolutely amazing. Thank you"

"What do you want to achieve?"

"Everything. I want to win everything but the Champions League is probably the trophy i want most. It would be a great achievement"

"Lastly, how's your Spanish?"
I laughed.

"It's a lot better than it once was but it definitely still needs work"
The interviewer laughed.

"Thank you. Congratulations once again"

"Thank you so much"
