I dare you ~ Mason Mount

Part 33

Amelia

It is Saturday 14 May and Chelsea are playing against Liverpool. I love watching the games and being able to support Mason from the stands. There's a thrill when you hear all the chants and screams when goals are scored and the energy when players enter the pitch.

So far no one has scored a goal yet, which makes me nervous.

After some time, It has led to penalties as no one had scored.
Mason took the 7th penalty and I'm ready to scream my loudest as my heart beats quicker eager for Mason to score.
He misses and his emotions fall.

Immediately certain Chelsea fans, a couple stands away begin screaming and booing, however a man who looked like he was in his late 40's and drunk starts to blame me and shout 'it's your fault'. I don't turn around again to give them the satisfaction of how hurt I am by words which don't even make sense to the situation. All I can think about is Mason on the field and how he feels about the miss. I begin to fiddle with my hands as more booing started to rise but I won't turn around.

The penalties had gone to 10-11 and Kepa Arrizabalaga was up. He shoots.
But misses meaning Liverpool had won and Chelsea lost yet another FA cup. Liverpool celebrated on the pitch and their fans cheered their name. Whilst the vibes around Chelsea fans was opposite and sone leaving.

I spot Mason from the pitch and we make eye contact for a second. He try's to give me a smile and I tried to return one back.

After a few moments the players begin shaking each others hands, some congratulating and some nodding.

A bottle is thrown a couple steps away from me meaning it was aimed at me, and security rushed to me incase things were to escalate. A man who is annoyed from the penalty miss blames me for it and is rushed by security to stop him from further actions. Curse words are being thrown out of his mouth but it's all muffled as I'm being pulled away from the scene.

After waiting for Mason to finish saying his goodbyes to his team, he's sat in the drivers seat silent just like I am for some time as I process everything. At some points Mason says he wants to speak about what happened in the stadium since he was informed by security, but I just want to avoid it like I always do with problems. But I want to focus on Mason since he didn't have a great day either and do something which will light both our moods up.

We reached our house about half an hour ago and I tell Mason to switch of his phone once he's settled down.
"Why the suspicious smile" he asks me.

"Nothing, just please." I laugh "for me"

"Fine" he chuckles.
I lead him to our room where I have filled the bath tub with water and loads of bubbles to relax without thinking about anything else but us.

The lights are all of and only a few candles have been lit, and appointed in certain areas.

"Oh wow what's this for, and when did you get the time for all this?"

"Today, you plus you decided to have a quick nap downstairs" I walk up to him as he stands in the entrance door. My hands find their way around his neck as he looks down at me with the biggest smile.

————
We've been in the bathtub for some time and the rooms been filled with laughter as we completely forget about today and talk about funny moments in our past.
"It was my first job and I had no clue!"
