Ophelia and Rico had gone back to South Africa to see one of Ophelia's close friends 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐀 𝐕𝐀𝐍 𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐇𝐔𝐈𝐙𝐄𝐍 who was being accompanied by her boyfriend 𝐏𝐄𝐃𝐑𝐎 𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐎,

"So how is life with you know who?" Anna asked as she looked at her friend with a smirk,

"Silva?" Ophelia cocked her head as she grew curious,

"Yeah him," the teacher nodded as she spoke in a duh tone,

"We are still in the same place that we were when you first asked me that," the physio rolled her eyes remembering the first time that they had done that.

"Wait really?" The younger girl asked as she grew shocked,

"Yeah," the older girl nodded,

"You're slow," Anna smiled as she let out a giggle,

"I'm not slow, I have a child to worry about," Ophelia spoke in a duh tone as she hinted to Rico,

"That's bs," the teacher shook her head as she rolled her eyes,

"Language," Rico was at the age where he repeated everything he heard so Ophelia didn't want him picking up too much,

"Rico is too busy with Pedro looking at the elephant outside," the teacher pointed out as she motioned to the duo who were feeding the elephant through the window,

"They act as they've never seen one before," the physio let out a laugh as they smiled,

"I sometimes forget that some people didn't grow up around wild animals like this." The younger girl sigh as the girl nodded in agreement,

"You grew up in bloody Cape Town," the older girl let out a mumble as she smirked,

"Like Durban is any better," Anna shot back with a glare,

"Okay, so we each grew up on the coasts," Ophelia pointed out as she was prepared to call a truce,

"Well at least we didn't grow up in actual cities like them," the teacher added with a smile,

"Damn straight," the physio nodded in agreement.

It had been three days since Ophelia had gotten back from South Africa and she was now heading into work early for the first day of the season,

"Good morning," Bernardo smiled as he looked to the girl,

"Hi Bernardo," Ophelia turned around with a smile,

"No nicknames?" The footballer pouted as he looked to her,

"It's early and I don't have coffee," the physio explained with a sigh,

"Well then it's a good thing that I'm heading down there right now," the Portuguese boy smirked as he looked at the girl,

"Care to accompany me?" He added as he held his hand out for the girl to grab,

"As long as I get to pick the flavour," the cafeteria had many different drinks so of course, Ophelia had one for every day of the week,

"Of course," he nodded with a smile,

"Well, then what on earth are we waiting for?" The South African asked as she grinned,

"Come on," she added as she pulled him along,

"How is the ankle?" The girl asked as she looked down to see it was still wrapped in tape,

"Are we seriously going to talk about my leg?" Bernardo let out a groan,

"What do you want to talk about then?" Ophelia asked as she looked at him,

"Your plans for this afternoon?" The footballer raised his eyebrows as he grew nervous,

"Go pick Rico up and then go home," it was the usual plan for the physio,

"Where is he?" The Portuguese boy asked as he knew that the boy was too young for school,

"He is with Ivanka right now, I think they are going to go an watch a movie." When Ivanka wasn't working she loved being able to watch him for the day,

"See if she can keep him for a bit longer then," Bernardo almost sounded as though he was asking.

"Why?" Ophelia cocked her head as she grew concerned,

"Because I want to show you something after training," the footballer smiled,

"Are you going to kill me?" The physio's eyes went wide as she clenched his hand,

"Wait do I want to know what you say that?" The Portuguese boy tried to hold in a laugh,

"I don't know," the South African confessed with a giggle,

"I need coffee, so I wouldn't trust the shit that comes out of my mouth before it." She added in a duh tone as they walked into the kitchen.

Ophelia was sat in her office as she finally decided to call Ivanka,

"Hi," Ophelia smiled as the girl picked up,

"Hey," Ivanka had just put Rico down for a nap as they had come back from the movies,

"What do you want?" She added in a curious tone,

"Wait," the physio's jaw dropped as she realised that the girl was onto her,

"You never call me when I babysit Rico so what do you want?" The personal trainer spoke in a duh tone,

"Could you possibly keep an eye on Rico for a bit longer," the South African hoped that the girl would say yes,

"Is there something special going on?" The Serbian asked in a teasing tone,

"Apparently so," Ophelia didn't want to admit that she didn't have a clue what was going on,

"Is Bernardo finally asking you out on a date?" Ivanka smirked,

"It's not a date," the physio rolled her eyes,

"Whatever you say," the trainer giggled,

"I'll keep an eye on him for as long as you would like," she added,

"Just don't give him a sibling," the girl mumbled in a warning tone,

"Ivanka!" The older girl let out a groan as she pinched the bridge of her nose.
