She kept her eyes on all England's socials. She had the notifications on for England's Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube so she wouldn't miss any updates. Being away from your boyfriend when he needed to do international duty was never easy. Back when she was dating Eric, she always did that too, regularly checking social media to see if her boyfriend was caught by the cameras, and now it was the same case with Tyrone. What made it different this time was how she wanted to see if there were any interactions at all between Tyrone and Eric.
She and Tyrone had settled everything down, and even though she had decided not to talk about it again, she was still curious if there was any progress in the two men's relationship. She wasn't hoping for much, she just wanted to see them working well together.
She didn't get anything even after the first match in Hungary. The cameras didn't catch them together. Tyrone was always with Conor, Eric was seen with almost everyone but Tyrone, and it seemed like they were never in the same group in training. But Tyrone gave her a call every day and he always seemed happy, saying that everything was going great in camp. He was having a good time and it was the most important thing, the matter with Eric could come second.
England played at home against Andorra today. She had gone to sleep last night praying that Tyrone would get a chance to play. She missed him playing in an England shirt and she was ecstatic when she read the starting line-up tweet that she got the notification of. Tyrone was going to start. That was great, her prayers were being answered. But she was nervous, because Eric was going to play alongside him.
It felt like she was reliving Premier League's second matchday again where Villa played Spurs, with all the nervousness that was resting uncomfortably at the bottom of her heart. At least this time Tyrone and Eric weren't playing against each other. She saw them doing a little handshake and nodding to each other before the match started, she considered it normal since they were playing for the same team. Her heart was more at ease seeing Tyrone looked focused and relaxed. Going into the match, everything looked just perfect.
Tyrone and the other defenders weren't being pressured much in the first half, as England kept pushing forward to Andorra's side. They had scored two goals so far, which Tyrone was involved with in the second one as they did a beautiful counter-attack where Tyrone feeded the ball to Jude who ran and passed to Bukayo, who in the perfect time passed the ball to Jesse who effortlessly put the ball into the back of the net. They all celebrated together, Tyrone and Eric were huddled together with the other boys, and it was quite strange for her to see her boyfriend and her ex-boyfriend smiling at each other. She was thankful that they weren't on each other's neck again this time.
But it wasn't until the second half, where she felt like nothing in this match could ever top the moment that happened on the seventy sixth mark that she witnessed with her own eyes.
Andorra had been in possession of the ball for a couple of minutes and no one had been able to take the ball from them. They finally attacked, and if it was not for Eric's block, the ball might have gone in. And the thing that happened after that really made her heart jump.
Tyrone patted Eric's shoulder, and it seemed like he was praising Eric for the good job. Maybe it was just her, but Tyrone actually looked proud of his teammate. In return, Eric patted Tyrone's back and based on the lip-reading she attempted, it seemed like Eric said, "Thanks, mate. Let's keep it tight, let's go."
She grinned watching that happen, feeling extremely relieved and proud. For the past week, she had been worried if something bad would happen. But now they were looking great and doing great. Things seemed to be going in the right way and she really couldn't ask more than that.
