Just like Bernardo had promised they went into town after training had ended,

"What are we doing here?" Ophelia sceptically asked as they walked through the town,

"Well I wanted to show you a place," Bernardo causally spoke as they got to a grass dip,

"Pardon?" The physio's eyes went wide as she grew nervous,

"There is a place here that I wanted to show you," the footballer explained again,

"It's down here," he added as he motioned for the girl to follow him,

"I know you said that you didn't want to kill me but damn this isn't helping your case," the South African seemed to not be fully convinced on the matter just yet,

"I'm not planning to kill you," the Portuguese boy let out a laugh as he shook his head,

"Careful," he added as he held his hand out for the girl to use to help herself down into the tunnel,

"I know you did not just try to help me," Ophelia sent him a glare as she clearly wasn't impressed,

"Sorry?" Bernardo assumed that him being polite would not have been taken like that,

"You better be," the physio had almost fallen but managed to stop herself,

"The nerve," she added with a giggle as she dusted her hands on her leggings,

"I can't tell if you being sarcastic or not," the footballer stopped himself for a moment as he thought about how he should play out that situation.

"Come on Nardo," the South African motioned for him to follow her with a smile,

"Let's go down the murder tunnel," she added with a giggle as she walked down,

"Wait have you just given me a nickname?" The Portuguese boy stopped as he realised that the girl had done so,

"Yeah, everyone else calls you Silva so I needed something special." Ophelia shrugged as she didn't see what was so special about,

"We are here," Bernardo smiled as he motioned to the inside of the tunnel,

"What is this?" The physio looked around,

"It's a graffiti wall," the footballer spoke in a duh tone,

"You remembered?" The girl had shown him a folder of pictures that she liked,

That was two years ago.

"Of course I did," the Portuguese boy nodded with a smile.

"Now blue or red?" He added as he held up two different spray paint cans,

"Is that meant to be a trick question?" The South African asked with a smile,

"You're more than just a pretty face," Bernardo teased as he joked,

"And I am yet to see that about you," Ophelia shot back as she held back a giggle,

"Excuse me?" The footballer cocked his head,

"You heard me," the physio smiled as she turned to him,

"If I wasn't holding this can," the Portuguese boy rolled his eyes as he watched the girl begin to use her can of paint,

"What would you do?" The South African was tempted to find out what the boy would do if she were to push his buttons,

"There is a lot I could do," Bernardo spoke in a suggestive tone that was missed by the girl,

"Like what?" Ophelia asked as she began to see what other pieces were already on the wall,

"This," the footballer had found a can of normal paint and used a paintbrush to fling some at her,

"Is this how you tell me you want me to transfer to them?" The physio looked down to see that there was a line of red paint on her back,

"If you even consider it!" The Portuguese boy sent the girl a hard glare,

"I was just asking," Ophelia raised her hands in defence,

"Jesus," Bernardo mumbled as he felt something cold to see that he now have blue paint smeared on his arm,

There was a pattern with this tunnel and its colours.

"Now we are even," the physio smiled as she did a happy dance,

"Oh it is so on," the footballer sent her a glare as he rolled his eyes,

"You really want to play this game?" He added as he looked up to see her,

"I'm not one to back down from a fight," the South African smirked,

"Hey, you two!" A security guard heard the commotion and had come to see what it was all about.

"Run," the Portuguese boy began as he panic,

"I'll race ya," Ophelia proposed with a grin before she ran off,

"Oh you are so on," Bernardo rolled his eyes as he began to chase her.

It had been about a week since the whole thing in the tunnel and the group was now making their way to Birmingham to play the first game of the season,

"I see that we are together again," Bernardo smiled as he looked up from his phone to see that Ophelia was about to sit next to him,

"Just like last season," Ophelia responded as she slid into the seat next to him,

It was now rather obvious that the rest of the team was trying to say something to the duo.

"You still got snacks?" The footballer asked as he watched the girl pull out her handbag,

"Of course I do," the physio nodded as she spoke in a duh tone,

"I'm basically the mother of twenty full-grown men, and Phil," she added with a bit of a giggle at the end,

"Hey!" 𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋 𝐅𝐎𝐃𝐄𝐍 let out a gasp as he sent the girl a soft glare,

"Sorry mate," the South African turned a bright shade of red as she grew embarrassed,

"Oops," the Portuguese boy looked at the girl with a shrug,

"Why didn't you tell me he was there," Ophelia asked as she placed her head in her hands,

"You never asked!" Bernardo shot back with a slight laugh,

"You ass," the physio glared as she shook her head at him.
