Kenan POV:
Since the evening I talked to Alex about watching me play, I've been thinking about all the things that could go wrong. I even considered cancelling this whole plan, but I guess there's no turning back, half of Italy already knows I'm with someone and not showing it would just make the rumors start again.
Rumors had stopped a while ago, but people were beginning to wonder who that girl who had earned my heart was. Anyway, people are just bored and don't know what to do with anymore.
– Is the Icen man nervous? I didn't see this coming. – Dušan hesitates me and gets a bad look from me.
We were in the last training session before the game and Dušan had found out that he was taking Alex, so he kept bothering me with it all morning.
– I don't know what you're up to, but Alex seems like a good girl, don't fuck her up. – he says again when he sees I'm not answering.
– Didn't anyone ever tell you how handsome you are when you are quiet? – I ask sarcastically as I start running.
– No. – he answers without giving it importance. – By the way, I've warned Vanja to take care of her.
– Thanks, I guess.
When we got to the stadium and went out to warm up, I can't help but notice if Alex and her friend have already arrived, and indeed they have. Looks like they're talking cheerfully to the rest of the girls, so I'm pretty reassured.
We warm up as usual and when there's not much left to start the game, we go back to the locker room to change and have a final talk with the master. Once the time has come, we go out to the pitch and everyone in the stadium starts screaming out of emotion, but I can only look at her.
She seems to be pretty focused on something or rather looking at someone. Obviously I want to think it's me and right now I just think about playing well, and hopefully getting a goal to impress her. It's not that I really care about doing it, but I want to be able to bother her if I can score a goal. I remember her saying she didn't want me to dedicate it to her, but obviously if I had the chance, I would.
We ended the first part losing 0-1, but I think we've been playing pretty well and we can go back in the second part. Once in the locker room, I see I have a message from Alex.
