𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐎 𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐈 felt heart break as he watched the American team lift the United Cup,

But he couldn't help but notice the mysterious blonde that was pulled into a hug by 𝐓𝐀𝐘𝐋𝐎𝐑 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐙 as the duo debriefed portions of the game,

"You know that if you stare any longer it's going to start getting creepy." 𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐀 teased as she elbowed Matteo,

"I'm not staring," Matteo shook his head as he snapped out of his gaze,

"I was just trying to see if I knew her." The boy added as he grew defensive,

"You can go and talk to her," 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐀 𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐍 spoke in a duh tone as she noticed the duo look at Taylor and the blonde.

"She doesn't look like she'll bite," she added as she shrugged assuming that the shorter girl couldn't have been older than 25,

She seemed innocent.

"It's not her that I'm worried about," the boy shook his head as couldn't help but acknowledge the fact that there were now three people just staring at the blonde,

"Why are we looking at Reagan?" 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐀 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐙𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈 asked as she saw the girl from this morning,

"How do you know that's her name?" Matteo was quick to turn his head to the younger Italian,

"I met her this morning when we came in at the same time." The girl explained as she shrugged,

"She's Taylor's sister and new PR manager," she added as she remembered seeing the information on her ID card.

𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐍 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐙 made her way back to her room as she got away from the celebrations,

"Oh hi," Reagan looked up to see that Matteo had joined her in the elevator,

"Hello," Matteo smiled as he took his earphone out and silently prayed that he didn't smell too bad after going to the gym,

He cursed himself for going for a jog on the treadmill tonight.

"You played well today," the American spoke softly as though she didn't want anyone else to hear,

"But I lost," the Italian pointed out as he furrowed his eyebrows,

"I know but you weren't thrashed," the blonde shot back as she shrugged,

"And besides you had some good moments," she added as she sent him a soft smile,

It seemed to be one that was truthful rather than one filled with pity.

"Thank you," the raven haired boy mirrored her smile as he nodded,

"I'm Reagan," the PR manager let out a quiet gasp as she realised that she still hadn't introduced herself to him,

"Matteo," the tennis player responded as he shook her hand,

"You staying for the open?" He added as he knew that there was a week before the Australian Open was meant to kick off.

"Of course." Reagan nodded as she saw that she only had two more floors until her stop,

"Well I hope to see more of you," Matteo wanted to throw up when he heard how the words came out of his mouth,

It wasn't very smooth at all.

"Me too," the blonde smiled as she was enjoying the conversation,

This was the first person she had spoken to in days who hadn't said a single thing about her last name.
