Ophelia was sat in her office listening to music as she was early,

"Hey love," Bernardo smiled as he walked into the room to see her,

"Hiya," Ophelia waved as she shut her laptop and looked at him,

"What are you doing here early?" She added as she knew there was a decent about of time before the rest of the players were going to arrive,

"I knew you would be in here," the footballer explained as he sat on the chair next to her,

"How," the South African cocked her head as she assumed that she wasn't that predictable.

"If you are late once more you get put into locker duty and I think you will just about die in that," the Portuguese boy laughed as he smiled,

"You bet," Ophelia was not prepared for that job so she didn't want to think about it.

"So do you plan to sit in here alone?" Bernardo asked as he looked at her,

"Well now I have some company," the physio pointed out with a giggle,

"Who says that I'll stay with you the whole time?" The footballer shot back as the girl got up and leaned onto him,

"Me," the South African smirked as she sat on his lap.

"Why?" The Portuguese boy asked as he rested his hand on her thigh,

"Because I'm your girlfriend," Ophelia spoke in a duh tone as she rested her head on his shoulder,

"Give me a kiss and I'll think about it," Bernardo mumbled as he looked at the girl's lips.

"You are going to bribe me with kisses now?" The physio giggled as she kissed him,

"Yep," the footballer nodded as he smiled,

Rico had gone with Ophelia to work as the babysitter pulled out at the last minute so she figured that she would have to make do with what she had,

Despite the fact that it was Christmas Eve everyone had come in for a training session.

"What is he doing here?" Pep asked seeing that Rico was at the girl's side,

"John!" Rico smiled as he hugged the footballer's leg.

"I couldn't get a babysitter on such short notice so I had to bring him with me," Ophelia explained as she didn't want to get in trouble but she really didn't have any other options.

"Do you want to be my assistant for the day?" Pep crouched down and looked at Rico who was now stood in front of him,

"I boss people around?" The toddler asked as he smirked,

"If you want to," the gaffer smiled as he wanted to have the little sidekick for the day,

"Yeah!" Rico cheered as he wanted to boss John around,

"Thank you," Ophelia mouthed to the gaffer as he pulled the toddler off to get him in a kit for the day.

"Why does it look like you thought you were going to get yelled at?" Bernardo asked as he walked over to her,

"Because I did think that," the physio nodded as she was surprised that nothing had happened to her,

"He likes kids way too much to do that, if he wants to he'll do it next time we see him." The footballer joked as they all used to wonder what was going on when Pep didn't yell on the spot.

"And what kind of monster will yell at me on Boxing Day," the South African pointed out in a duh tone,

"This just adds to our point that you are the favourite." The Portuguese boy wrapped his arm around the girl,

"I'm not the favourite," Ophelia shook her head as she rolled her eyes.

"Whatever you say, Princess," Bernardo placed a kiss on the side of her head as they both forgot that they were in a crowd of people.

"Shut up," the physio mumbled,

"Wait she didn't kill him," Sergio pointed out as he looked to the teammates that were next to him,

"Have they finally done it?" John added as he crossed his arms,

"Wait are you two together," Phil finally realised what he was missing from the conversation.

"Why do you mind?" Ophelia cocked her head as she sent him a glare,

He was the only one who would break,

"Because we have a bet and someone needs to win the bet." The midfielder explained confessing the whole plan,

"They made a bet about us," the Portuguese boy looked to the girl,

"Should we tell them the truth then?" Ophelia asked with a smirk,

"I think we should let them continue to guess." Bernardo nodded in agreement as he liked the way she thought about it.

"Isn't that a bit mean of you two," John asked as he crossed his arms,

"Yeah well, you guys decided to put a bet on us." The South African shot back knowing that she had a point.
