On Purpose | Kai Havertz

2.

- You look confused. - I stated stopping next to Kai Havertz at Tesco.

The footballer and I have met up a few other times at Stamford Bridge and in one or two meet ups from Chelsea but we were definitely not friends yet, he was the quieter one of the new players and I like to respect people's personal space.

- Jesus Christ, you almost gave me a heart attack - He said and I laughed - Let's just say I'm not necessarily the best cooker so I don't know what exactly I'm looking for. - He said and I laughed

- Your turn to cook in the traditional dinner of the newbies? - I asked knowing I had to help Mason since he's the definition of a disaster in the kitchen.

- Exactly, I'm feeling a disaster coming but for what we gathered Mason can't cook, so it can't be that bad, right?

- Actually, it can. I cooked for him and I'm pretty good at it... So, good luck mate. By the way, take the vegan pasta, is healthier for you guys and still tastes amazing.

- What do I have to do for you to help me cook - He said while I was turning around to leave making me a little shocked - I don't want to pay the bet - He said shyly and I laughed

- Give me a autographed jersey from Marco Reus and we're fine. - I said confidently at the player
- We have a deal. - He said and I smiled - So, dinner might be tonight?

- I figured, you look way too stressed. But I need your address to meet you there - I said throwing all the ingredients I was going to need in the cart.

- See you there. - He said hopping into his range rover while I got inside my G43 following him to his house.

That was a very spontaneous decision I made for sure. Kai Havertz wasn't the most talkative person in the room, according to Mason the German was actually quite fun and really talkative in some situations but those I was never a part of.

To be fair, I don't judge him, I wasn't social at all until I started working and had to make sure people would respect me and follow my orders. He also was never disrespectful, just kept it all to himself more.

I knew the gossip about him, I mean, who didn't? He was all people could talk about in the last transfer window and that honestly made me pay attention to his style on the pitch since I was initially against the team spending so much money in a single player, but maybe, just maybe, they weren't wrong.

- Nice place, now show me your kitchen. - I said getting inside the clearly new house since it still lacked a lot of personality in it.

- What can I help on? - He asked and I pointed to the vegetables

- Cut them but please don't cut yourself. - I said and he laughed

- You spoke just like my mom right now. - He said and I laughed along him

- I have teenagers cousin's who are my headache, I just learned to treat people inside the kitchen like I treat them.

- Great to know I'm 21 and being treated like a 14 year old.

- You get used to it, if you need any tips, Mason is available almost at all times.

- Wanna know a funny thing? - He asked and I nodded

- Timo and I thought you guys were a couple - He said and I laughed really, really loud.

- Don't worry, you guys were not the first. He's girlfriend is Chloe, she's amazing, I'm the best friend that keeps him in check - I said and he nodded

- Yeah, when he brought her we were all like, what? And then everything clicked. - He laughed - We even thought maybe that was some bad blood but then she excused herself to FaceTime you

- We're really close. She's the first girl he ever had anything with that didn't have an issue with our friendship - I laughed - Even my ex didn't like Mason, till this day I feel like if the two of them would meet up they would have a discussion.

- That bad? - He asked and I agreed

- We do yearly trips alongside Declan, the girls are fine with it but he was absolutely not, like, I'm not ending friendship for a guy, that simple. - I said - Anyway, he's buried in the past so let's change the subject, enough about me, how's the life of a footballer in London? I bet the DM's are full - I said laughing

- They are kinda still blocked, since the rumors started I blocked them and I forgot to bring them back - He said laughing making me laugh along him - But also I think dating with this job just isn't for me you know? I had a girlfriend and then Chelsea became a reality and I literally got the ultimatum "her or London". - He said and I felt my eyes bulging

- Wow, that's mean. - I said and he agreed

- We dated since we were 18 so she knew the Premier League was always the dream, I think she didn't expect it to be so soon, I don't know, but it's what I worked for and one of the biggest team in the country, of course I was going to come. - He said and I agreed

- I'm sorry about that. - I said and he smiled

- I'm fine now, you should have seen me the day it happened. - He laughed - Now I don't really think about it you know, my focus is to get adapted to the team and get all the criticism to stop.

- Don't worry about it, I'm sure you're going to shut their mouths before you even expect. Just maybe train a little bit more at home - I said shrugging

- You could train me - He said and I looked surprised at him - Like a friend, not a player from another National Team.

- I'm going to think about it... Just know I don't take excuses.

- I can work with that. - He said and I nodded my head in disagreement

- Now, take it out of the oven in 25 minutes and it will be ready! - I said it and he looked relieved

- Thank you, you saved the day. - He said and I laughed while he hugged me making me surprised.

- I expect my jersey. - I pointed at him heading towards my car seeing him laugh

- I'll text him right now.

- Out of suddenly I'm jealous you have Marco Reus number.

- Train me and I'll arrange a meeting

- Great, then we start Monday, be ready Havertz.
