PHYSIOTHERAPIST [B.C.] ~ ©️

36. Lost In Thoughts

As we got at his house, we were just relaxing at couch talking about not important things, drinking some really nice wine that he bought and eating grapes.

"Oh damn, I almost forgot" he said and stood up leaving me confused in living room

"Here, my present for your birthday" he said handing me box that was light blue

"blue" I giggled

"Open it" he said sitting next to me

"You really didn't have to" I said looking at him

"Just open it" he said once again, and I slowly opened the box

"No, you're kidding" I said looking at him "Ben, this is-" I didn't know what to say as I was staring at box with necklace on my lap

"I didn't know what to buy you, so this just bump into my head in last second" he said as I took necklace from box

"it's so beautiful" I whispered looking at blue topaz and amethyst birthstone on necklace

"Do you want me to put it on for you?" he asked, and I looked at him nodding

"Wherever you go, you will always have me beside you" he whispered and lightly kissed my neck as he put necklace on

"Thank you so much Ben, this is the best present ever and it's really too much" I said and smiled at him

"I'm glad you like last-second-present" he said laughing at me

"Who wouldn't like last-second-present like this" I said smiling and gently kiss him

"We better go to sleep; you need to work tomorrow" he said, and I nodded

•••••••••••

Today Chelsea has a match against Newcastle at 2pm. Boys are doing their last pre-match training as I am sitting on the tribune of Stamford Bridge looking down at them and thinking about some things. As a kid I was always dreaming about working as physiotherapist, helping other people to get on with their physiotherapies.

The truth is, when I was 12, I broke my leg, and I needed surgery because of how serious it was. When I started with my physiotherapies it was hard for me. At the same time as me, on physiotherapies was a 19-year-old girl. She had car accident and for 2 years she couldn't stand on her legs.

Being there with her for a month, seeing her hard working, not giving up even that she fell crying and being mad at herself, but she always got up, wiped her tears away and continued to fight. That really pushed me forward, that taught me to not give up no matter how hard things can be, and she was the reason why I am here today. If there wasn't her, if I didn't break my leg then, I won't be where I am today, I would probably give up at the start of high school, but she and her situation pushed me forward and not giving me a chance to give up.

Because of her situation today I am here, sitting on Stamford Bridge, looking at my favourite football club preparing for their match. Because of her situation I made my dream come true, I am physiotherapist at my favourite football club and through it I met the most amazing people ever, through it I met the person I am sure is the love of my life.

"SORRY" I heard Timo laughing as he kicked ball on the tribune towards me

"NOT FUNNY TIMO" I shouted back at him kicking ball back to them

"NICE SHOOT ELA" he shouted, and I just smiled at him

I sat back on the seat returning to my thoughts. The only thing I want now is to make my birthday wish real and I won't give up until I make it.

This time I got interrupted with my phone ringing.

"Hey Ben" I said smiling as I pick up the phone

"Hey love" he said, and I just smiled even more

"everything's alright up there?" he asked

"yeah" I said looking down at boys making foolish things again

"I'm really bored, I think I'm going to go back to matches with you" he said, and I could imagine him leaning his head back on the couch

"That would be nice" I said and hit my forehead laughing

"What?" he asked

"You should see Timo flying now" I said, and he laughed

"Oh, I can imagine him" he said "pre-match training?" he asked

"Yep, I'm clearing my head on the tribune" I said

"What bothers you?" he asked

"Nothing, I was just thinking about how I get here where I am today" I said pulling my knees closer to my chest as with one hand I was holding phone and with other I was playing with necklace

"You deserved it and I'm so proud of you, I hope you know that" he said

"I love you" I said, he is already used on that I say I love you instead of thank you

"I love you too" he said

"COME DOWN" Mason shouted and I gave him a sign to give me a minute

"I got to go Ben; I will see you later" I said

"Okay, see you later love" he said, and we hang up as I ran down tribune to the pitch

"what's up?" I asked as I got to the Mason

"Show us what you know" he said passing ball to me

"Seriously? I thought is something serious" I said raising my eyebrow at him

"No puede ser nada serio cuando viene de Mason" Kepa said walking to the goal (eng. It can't be nothing serious when it come from Mason)

"sí tienes razón" I said smiling at Kepa (eng. Yes, you're right)

"Not Spanish please" Mason frowned

"They said it can't be nothing serious when it's come from you" Cesar said supporting tapping Mason's shoulder

"Hey Ela, I thought you love me" he crossed arms over his chest pretending to be offended

"I do, but you need to admit he was right" I said putting my hand on his shoulder looking seriously at him but trying so hard not to laugh

"Okay, yes, he was right" he admitted, and we both burst into laughter

"Okay let's finish this training" I said and left them finish training
