The group were in Germany for the champions league game and everyone could tell that there was some kind of tension between the couple,

"Are we just going to play crazy golf and not talk?" John whispered as he was now sat next to the girl,

It was the first time in a while that it had happened.

"Well you seem to be talking right now," Ophelia looked over to the boy that was next to her,

"Come on Bernardo is sleeping." The footballer pointed out with a shrug,

"I'm not going to gossip here," the physio shook her head as she didn't know who else was awake,

"Why not," the Brit let out a quiet groan as he really wanted to know what was bugging her,

"Because you are in the room next to me," the South African spoke in a duh tone;

"And I'm in the seat next to you right now," John shot back with with a smirk,

"John I'm not going to talk about it now stop moving so I can go to sleep." Ophelia pulled her hold up as she rested her head on his shoulder.

It was the next morning when John was sat in Ophelia's room,

"Can you please tell me now, the suspense is killing me?" John let out a groan as he fell on her bed,

"Okay sit here and get comfy," Ophelia was still laying in bed as she was nice and cosy.

"So the girl he was with he kissed her cheek," she added with a sigh as she picked at her nails,

"Look I need you to hear me out," the footballer began,

"John," the physio mumbled as she knew that was about to come.

"No please, I get that you're scared about it all." The Brit reached out for her hand knowing that she was probably having a rough time.

"But maybe you shouldn't think he is going to be like him," he added as he remembered the last relationship that the girl was in,

She had been in a relationship with a man who unfortunately decided to cheat on her once she had brought Rico into her house,

"I know," the South African didn't want to think about what happened before,

Because she didn't know what she would do if Bernardo was the same as the last guy she was with.

"I just want to be safe," John saw Ophelia like a sister and he really didn't want to see her to be stupid.

"I have a kid now," ever since she had gotten a kid she had to learn what it was like to not take risks in order to keep herself safe.

"Don't use Rico as an excuse to hold yourself back,"

"O-" Ophelia was about to talk but her alarm went off,

"We need to get to the bus for training." She added with a groan as she got out of bed.

The whole group was in the stadium as it looked like a game of cat and mouse,

Ophelia avoided Bernardo who wanted nothing more than to just talk to her.

"Hide me," Ophelia mumbled as she looked to Ruben who was in the middle of an exercise.

"What?" Ruben looked at the girl with wide eyes as he grew alarmed,

It wasn't often that people wanted him to fake an injury.

"Act like you are hurt so I can help you." The physio explained in a duh tone as she glared at him,

"What do you want me to act hurt?" The defender asked as he was pushed to the ground,

"Just sit down," the physio mumbled as she crouched down to join the boy,

"Okay bossy," Ruben mumbled as he rolled his eyes,

"Don't you dare," Ophelia hit his shoulder as he tried to get up,

"I need this so shut up," she added as she was being serious,

"Okay," Ruben nodded as he could tell that there was something bugging her,

"Bring me ice cream tonight?" He added with a smile as it was what he had been craving since they had gotten on the flight,

And he knew that he was unable to do it in his room so it made sense to find someone to get it for him.

"Come to my room and you have got yourself a deal mister." The physio nodded as she held her hand out for him to shake as she tried to hold in a laugh remembering that she was meant to be serious.

It was later that day when Ruben was back in Ophelia's room,

"So you want to tell me what is going on with you and Silva?" Ruben asked as he sat on the couch with the bowl of ice cream,

"Why is that what all the boys want to know?" Ophelia asked with a giggle as she cocked her head,

"Well, when you eat ice cream you need to gossip with it so yeah," the footballer nodded as he spoke in a duh tone,

"Let's watch a movie instead," the physio proposed as she smiled,

"Why do I feel like we should be watching the football," the Portuguese boy pointed out as he looked over to the girl.

"Well, I'm watching the Chelsea game in here so get comfortable." Although the girl was not a Chelsea fan she indeed wanted to watch them as Rico was now becoming a bit of a fan of their number ten 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐏𝐔𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐂.
