Marianna had been on the phone to Ophelia for the past hour and a half,

"Wait so what has you smiling like this?" Marianna asked curiously as she looked at her friend,

"Nothing," Ophelia shook her head as she sipped her coffee,

"I'm pretty sure that it is more than just nothing," the teacher raised her eyebrow as she saw the way that the older girl seemed to gleam.

"We kinda kissed," the physio confessed as she turned a shade of pink.

"Who did?" The younger girl asked as she knew that her friend worked with a lot of different players,

It meant that there were a lot of options.

"Nardo and I," the older girl explained in a duh tone as she couldn't help but roll her eyes,

Her friend was meant to be the smart one in the group,

"Wait spare no details," Marianna let out a gasp as she was excited,

"Come on, I want to hear it." She added as the older girl was taking too long,

"Well he was in the room and it just felt right to do it," Ophelia confessed as she smiled,

Despite the fact that they were unable to talk after it she hadn't stopped smiling,

"So you just went in and kissed-" the teacher was trying to make sure that she had all of the facts straight,

"Hugged, I went in and hugged him," the physio cut her off as she shook her head,

"What are you?" The younger girl swore that something rather odd was going on with her friend,

"Rico is in the room," the older girl mouthed as she didn't want him to know,

Rico knew what kissing was and if he knew that Ophelia had done it then it would just make things complicated.

"Oh hi mate how are you," Marianna waved hello to the boy as she smiled,

"Im good," Rico grinned as he was eating a cracker,

"Buddy can you possibly go into the other room for a bit, here is the tv remote," Ophelia asked softly as the boy nodded,

"Okay," the toddler waved goodbye before walking into the other room,

"Thank you," the physio called out but didn't hear a response so she assumed that he had already begun looking through the channels,

"You know you have to tell him eventually," the teacher let out a sigh when she saw that the coast was clear,

"All we did was kiss," the older girl rolled her eyes,

"Rico will be the person who knows when things turn serious, and that's a promise." She added as she knew she would tell him the moment things for serious,

"Just don't get hurt," Marianna didn't want to see a repeat of the girls previous relationship happen,

"He was watching the Buddy series on the plane back from Marseille, I think I have nothing to worry about." Ophelia smiled as she remembered waking up from her nap to see what he was watching.

Both Ophelia and Rico were in London as John had talked them into going to a game at Wembley,

"Lia," Rico groaned as the girl was in the middle of getting ready,

"Yes love," Ophelia nodded as she continued to do her eyebrows,

It wasn't often she was actually able to put a face of makeup on,

So when she was able to she liked to take her time.

"I'm hungry," the toddler huffed as his stomach growled,

"What do you want me to do about it?" The physio shot back in the same tone,

"Get me food?" Rico shrugged as he really didn't know what to respond with,

"Oh shoot you're my child," Ophelia looked to him with a gasp,

"Huh?" The toddler cocked his head as he didn't understand what was going through her mind,

"I sometimes forget that, but how about some ice cream?" The physio explained as she picked him up,

"Yeah," Rico cheered with a giggle,

"Well then let's go and get some," Ophelia smiled as they left their room.

Ophelia and Rico walked through the tunnel as they made their way to John,

"Sorry," Ophelia apologised as she saw that Rico had bumped into someone,

"No worries," 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓 smiled as he turned around to look at the boy that bumped into him,

"You're a Chelsea player," Rico spoke in a disgusted tone as he shook his head,

"Rico!" The physio tried to hold in a laugh as she was meant to scold him.

"I take it you're a City fan then?" The midfielder asked as the boy nodded,

"You bet," the toddler did a spin and showed him that Stones was on the back of the shirt,

"Is he your kid?" Mason looked up to Ophelia curiously,

His first thought was that she looked really well for being a parent of a toddler.

"Godson," Ophelia corrected him with a smile,

"Oh I'm sorry," the midfielder apologised as he grew embarrassed,

"No worries," the physio shook her head as it often happened to them,

"Is Lia giving you a rough time Mase?" John jokingly asked as he caught up to them,

Gianna was back at home visiting her parents so Ophelia and Rico were the next best thing as fans.

"So that's your name?" Mason asked as he realised that he hadn't gotten her name,

"It's actually Ophelia," Ophelia held her hand out to shake,

"Oh," the midfielder nodded as he didn't realise how uncommon the name was for him,

"Phelia," Rico finished off the name as he shook his head,

He was starting to think that Mason wasn't too bright.

"Huh?" The midfielder looked down at the boy as he grew confused.

"Ignore him," Ophelia tapped Rico with her foot motioning for him to stay quiet.

"I'm sorry but I need to get going to my girlfriend, but it was nice to meet you both," Mason waved goodbye to the three before he left,

"Up!" Rico turned to John as he wanted to go on his shoulders,

"Hi buddy," John smiled as he obliged giving the toddler what he wanted.
