CHAPTER 33: RETURN WITH DIFFERENT SIDE

Danny and Jeff just arrived home from Brugge. Danny is just lying down on his bed when he suddenly gets a phone call from Ella.

Danny: Hey, there. How you're doing?

Ella: I'm good. So, how does it feels making your debut in Europa League?

Danny: Well, it's not so great. I can't do much in the match though.

Ella: Because the opponent players didn't allowed it. If they do, they'll lose. That's for sure. By the way, I know you just arrive here. But I was wondering if you want to have lunch together with me later on.

Danny: Sure thing. Let's meet at the diner you dragged me in before.

Ella: Okay. I'll see you later.

Danny: Okay. I'm going to get ready now. Bye, then.

Ella: Bye.

Then, they hung up.

"A date?" asked Jeff.

"No. Just a lunch" replied Danny.

"For now" said Jeff.

"Well, let the time decide it" said Danny.

"Yeah, right" replied Jeff.

Later on;

Danny and Ella were having lunch together.

"So, Ella. I saw how you played against Liverpool last week. I think you will get a call-up for the national team soon enough" said Danny.

"Really? I hope you're right about that" said Ella.

"Hey, I know the potential when I see it. So, have faith in me a bit" said Danny.

"Fine. By the way, I saw your post in Instagram with your sister. Just you to know, I am her fans" said Ella.

"Really? I'm sure she will brags about it if she knows it" said Danny.

"Really? But I think I know how close you both are based on the picture" said Ella.

"Well, we're the only siblings after all. And yeah, we're quarell a lot but I won't trade her for anything in my life" said Danny.

"I guess she's the same too. I saw how pissed off she is when she posted it on Twitter when your ex-girlfriend cheating on you" said Ella.

"Yes. She can be overprotective sometimes, but I was the same too. Once, I went back to Ireland just that I can beat his ex-boyfriend that cheated on her. Of course, she was so mad at me that time because it can caused me the whole career before it can even started" said Danny.

"So, you both are overprotective. By the way, Raw will be tapping here in Manchester next Monday. Want to go and watch it together?" asked Ella.

"Sure thing. I love to. Maybe I can take you to meet my sister too" said Danny.

"That would be great. Okay, it's set then" said Ella. Danny just smirked.

That Saturday;

All Manchester United players and coaching staff arrived at London Stadium for a league match against West Ham United. After changing into the training kits, all players making their way to the pitch.

"So, shall I welcome all of you to London Stadium?" asked Danny.

"Not really. Don't you forget that you played with the away team now, bro" said Jeff.

"That's true. You have betrayed Ireland by giving your loyalty to England. Now, you're betraying The Hammers for The Red Devils" replied Maguire. The rest just chuckled.

"Even the women squad is here" said Jeff.

"Of course they are. They will face Queenspark Rangers later tonight after all" said Rashford.

"You might be glad right, Danny. Your girlfriend is here to support you" said Pogba.

"Ella is not my girlfriend" said Danny.

"Yet" said the rest.

"Shut up" said Danny. The rest just chuckled.

Meanwhile, some NXT UK rosters are there too.

"So, we're here to support Manchester despite staying in London?" asked Tegan.

"Yeah. Only Courtney that was with The Hammers supporters after all right now" replied Toni.

"So, why Steffanie and I are here too?" asked Kay Lee.

"To accompany me, of course" replied Toni.

"So, you dragged us here just to accompany you?" asked Tegan.

"Yes, just like you both dragged me everytime Leicester City come to London" said Toni. Kay Lee and Tegan just grinned.

"I never knew you girls are football fans too" said Ella that sits in front of Toni.

"Well, we're here just to support my cousins there. So, are you and Danny already make it official?" asked Toni.

"Not yet. They're not even admitted that they like each other" said Zelem. Ella blushed.

"Exactly" said Turner.

"Just you to know this, Ella. Toni and Danny's sister; Becky is so overprotective. So, don't break Danny's heart if you didn't want them to break your neck" said Kay Lee.

"I won't do such thing" said Ella.

"So, you do like him then" said Tegan. Ella blushed while the rest just chuckled.

"Nobody here want to play with you" said Haller but he was ignored.
