"Yeah well, see you," I turned around but then he grabbed my hand and I turned around again.

"Yeah?" I asked as soon as he pulled me closer again. By just looking up at him I felt my stomach almost explode. It's a feeling I've never had before, I didn't want to have before.

But now everything happened so suddenly, everything is so new.

But by the time I realized that he still hasn't responded to my small question I raised my eyebrows.

"Gavi?" I asked just to be sure that he was still around here with his mind, who knows where he could be.

"I don't want you to leave." He muttered under his breath. I moved back closer to him. He then ran his thumb across my cheeks while cupping my face. "I want you to stay."

"Gavi-"

"I know, I know you don't care about me. I know you don't love me." He began but I started shaking my head.

"You're so fucking stupid I could cry." I cry out while wiping away some tears that have been building up in my eyes.

"What, why are you crying?" Gavi looks at me while he lifts my head with his finger. I shake my head while I just look away.

"I'm feeling too many things at once." I mumbled and looked away again. He shook his head and then leaned down to kiss me.

The next day I found myself sitting in a chair, in Tite's office to be exact. Here comes the funny part.

"So Anastasia." Tite crossed his arms while he leaned back in his chair. He was sitting infront of me.

"Tite, listen-" I began but he cut me off almost immediately.

"No, I don't want to hear it, you're fired. I don't want to see you ever again. And I'll also have a word with Ancelotti." My jaw dropped as soon as I heard him say that.

"You cant be so unprofessional." I shot back but he shook his head in response.

"I'm not the one sleeping with an enemy." He said and I raised my eyebrows.

"As if you would care about anything going on in my life. Remember when my dad died? I didn't get a single day off, I had to beg you to let me go to his funeral." I said and he shook his head.

"You got a day off" He mumbled and I threw my hands in the air.

"Okay, you know what, I don't want to work for you. If you want to have a word with Ancelotti, okay. Nobody is better at this job then me, trust me." I said and stood up. I stormed out of his office and started walking back to the hotel.

"Stasia" I heard a voice say and I immediately turned around to find Rodrygo walking behind me.

"I don't want to talk to you, fuck off." I told him and kept walking. He scoffed but I still heard him behind me.

"Anastasia" He said my name again but I kept walking. "Don't act fucking childish just listen to me."

"Look, Rodrygo. I really don't know what your problem is or what I did for you to snitch on me and make me lose my job, but I apologize for that. Because it had to be something really bad for you to ruin the only thing I loved. So thanks for that, Rodrygo." I turned around and told him that, after that I kept walking. I didn't hear him behind me anymore. So I guess it worked.

I quickly went to the hotel and started packing all my stuff. After I was done I took my phone and my suitcase and went to the elevator.

After I finally arrived at the lobby and the doors just wanted to open, I saw Gavi in front of the elevator. He looked at me, and then at my suitcase.

"Oh, no no no no." He laughed as he walked into the elevator and pushed me back.

He held his hand on my shoulder so I couldn't move while he pushed the button to his floor.

"What the heck are you doing?" Gavi looked at me again and I shrugged my shoulders. I looked away instantly.

"Anastasia." He put his hand on my jaw but I didn't look at him. "Look at me." He said and I shook my head.

He took my suitcase out of my hand and as the doors opened we walked to his room. I followed him to his room to be exact.

"Look at me" He mumbled but I still didn't look at him. I looked down on the floor and I felt myself tearing up slowly.

"Anastasia. Please." He mumbled and I finally looked up at him. As soon as he saw that I had tears in my eyes he pulled me into a hug immediately. I wrapped my arms around his body and buried my face in his chest.

"I don't wanna go home." I sobbed into his chest and he just stroke my head with his hand. It was calming.

"You won't go home, I promise you. I won't let you go home." He whispered and we then heard a knock on the door.

I raised my head to look up at Gavi but he held his finger over his mouth. He walked over to the door and looked through the doorlight.

He turned around and waved me over. I tried to stay quiet while I was sniffing my nose. As I looked outside I saw Enrique. I looked at Gavi and he shrugged his shoulders while pointing to the door handle.

I nodded and as he pushed the door handle down I stepped back a little. "Hey, can I come in?" I heard Enrique ask and Gavi nodded while letting him in.

"Hey Anastasia." Enrique said as he saw me too. I think he expected me to be here.

"So?" Gavi asked as Enrique made me and Gavi sit down on the bed.

"I want to ask you two a few things." He began and I felt Gavis hand looking for mine. I gave him my left hand and he interlocked his fingers with mine.

"The first question is, I need an explanation. I can't help you without knowing the story." Enrique said and I looked at Gavi.

"I met her through the others and we had to share a room. We hooked up and kept doing it, until pretty much now." Gavi explained very quickly and I looked back at Enrique.

"So is this between you just sex or also feelings involved?" Enrique asked next and I looked at Gavi. I didn't wanna say it.

"Feelings involved."

"Okay, thank you for explaining everything to me. Next, I've talked to the others, the staff and we talked about this whole situation going on. First of all, Gavi, you are heavily attached to her. I see that. Don't have to act like you aren't.  Second we had to fire our players-partner, because of private reasons." Enrique said and Gavi looked confused at him.

"Players-Partner?" He asked and I hit his arms softly.

"That's what I worked as for Brazil." I explained and he nodded.

"So, Anastasia, we'd be able to hire you, today at 4. In my office, and if you'd accept the job offer, you could stay here, and live in the Spanish part of the building. We gain an amazing worker and friend and Gavi won't shatter. Also you'd be allowed to stay here, so there is nothing wrong with this." Enrique smiled at me but still stayed serious.

"Thank you so much. I'll be there." I smiled and Gavi did so too.

"No problem, I know how teenage love works and also, what Tite is doing, isn't right." Enrique said and walked tkwards the door. His face lightened up a bit.

"True." Gavi said.

"Anastasia I'll be waiting for you at 4." He pointed at me before walking out the room.

I looked at Gavi and he was smiling at me. I quickly pulled him into a hug and we both fell back on the bed.
