22. It's For You

~OCTOBER, 2021~
~MANUELA~

It's been four months how Ben and I officially started dating. We were on 6 dates in these four months, and I just can say each of them was more beautiful than the one before.

"I'm about to arrive at stadium, you're coming right?" he asked as I barely heard him because of boys who were talking around him

"I'm not sure, I don't feel much good" I said looking at jeans that I can dress up with Chelsea blue jersey

"Oh, it's okay, just be good, I will come to you right after match, okay?" he asked, and I just smiled to myself

"there's no need for that Ben, I'm okay and Sophia's here if I will need something" I said showing Sophia to be quite as she walked into my room

"No, I'm coming after match, and you can't do nothing against it" he said

"Is it Ela?" I heard someone shouting

"Yes, just stop shouting right to my ears" he said, and I smiled even more

"Hey Ela, how's going?" Timo asked and I laughed at his voice

"it's going well, I'm just feeling bad not to be there with you guys" I said as Sophia was shaking her head on me lying, I'm not actually a person of lying but when surprising Ben is in case I do it often now

"It was so good when you were constantly with us" Timo whined

"I know so, but I'll on tribune cheering for all of you soon" I said

"Okay, get off" Ben mumbled and I couldn't help but laugh again "I have to go Els, but I'm seeing you very soon, don't think you will get off me that easily" he said

"Okay Benjamin, I'll see you later" I said smiling

"I hate when you use that to call me" he whined

"But I like it" I said

"Okay okay, I really have to go now, see you later" he said

"See you later" I said, and we hang up

This is not casual for us, we don't talk on calls when he is around his friends but today he called, so since I needed to lie to him at least I could answer on his call so I won't be much suspiciously.

"Which one?" I asked showing Sophia my black jeans and blue ones

"black" she said

"right" I said, and I got dressed as she did too

"It would be more surprising for him if you dress his jersey" Sophia said as we were putting our shoes on

"I don't want eyes on me because of his last name on my back" I said

"Yeah, right" she said

We are keeping our relationship in just close circle of friends, and we are not thinking about going publicly any time soon.

"Half an hour" Sophia informed me

"let's go" I said and pulled her by hand down tribune as close to bench as we could looking to the tunnel where boys will come from

"you're coming with me?" I asked her as I took my partner sign from purse

"Just go, Mason knows I am here, so it's not matter" she said and smiled at me

"Okay, I'll be quick" I said and went down to security

"Chelsea" I said showing him my partner sign

"I shouldn't let you in half an hour before match, but be quick" security said and I thank him and ran to boys' locker room

"Can you talk for a minute?" I asked trying to sound bad

"Are you okay?" he asked sounding worried

"I know it's half an hour to match and if you can't talk-"

"No, no, I can talk, just give me a second to get off here" he said and soon enough the door I wanted went open and I saw him coming outside looking at me completely confused

"w-what?" he asked looking around confused

"I'm sorry" I said

"w-what are you doing in here?" he asked

"I lied to you the whole day, I'm sorry I know you hate when people lie to you but I ju-" he interrupted me pressing his lips against mine

"We have more luck than I thought we will have" he said leaning his forehead against mine

"Why?" I asked

"They will come in any minute, you should go" he said kissing me once again

"Who, what? I'm confused" I said

"Paparazzi Els, this was enough luck for us today we won't get it more" he said

"Um, yeah, of course, I'll see you later" I said kissing his cheek

"Good luck" I said and walked away from him back on tribune

"How was it?" she asked

"We almost got caught" I said

"You need to tell him about the email" she said reminding me I still didn't tell Ben that I accept the job I didn't tell him about, I just hope he won't get mad

"I know, I'm just.... scared" I said as boys started coming on the pitch

•••••••

It was two minutes plus extra time to half time, and it was still 0:0. Boys had few chances, but they didn't score

"Look at your man" Sophia whispered to me as I felt my cheeks become warm and probably red

It was amazing chance for score in 44th minute. Kante pass to Azpilicueta and he pass to Lukaku who pass to Ben and at the end he scored a goal.

I couldn't help and few tears left my tears, it was his second goal this season, he was on all matches but played only four and I can't be prouder now.

"He did it" Sophia told me hugging me

"He did" I said hugging her back

••••••••

At the end match finished 1:0. Being the only one scoring a goal it must cheer him up after everything he had with national team but club too.

After match Sophia and I went down to boys waiting for them to change in their locker room.

"It was for you" he said tightly hugging me as he walked out of locker room

"For me?" I asked confused

"You gave me power with that kiss" he said smiling at me

"It was only because of you, you deserved it" I said cupping his face "I'm so proud of you" I said, and he quickly kissed me and not soon we left the stadium
