"Holy fuck you just did it," Nessa says.

"It felt right," I shrug, "I only regret it took me this long to make it public."

Just then my phone begins to ring, it's my dad. I take the call.

"Daddio," I say into the phone.

"You called me dad," he said.

"You're my dad, I always call you dad," I laugh.

"On Instagram," he clarifies and I laugh again, "did you see my reply ?" He asks.

"Which one ?" I ask.

"Look," he tells me.

I put him on speaker and head to Instagram again, "you called me dad ?" I ask, "that one ?"

"Yeah," he says.

I reply, 'secret is out,' and post it. I hear him sniffle. "You okay ?" I ask.

"Yeah," he says in a hushed tone.

"Are you crying ?" I ask.

"Can I post that ?" He asks.

Just as I was about to ask what he was talking about, I get a message notification from him. I open the message and It's a screen shot of a post he wants to make. I read over the post and begin to tear up.

"Daddy, you've got me bawling my eyes at this game," I laugh. "Yeah, you can post it."

"I love you baby," he says.

"I love you more daddy," I say.

"No, I love you more and that's final," he says.

"You're so stubborn," I groan.

"This is so cute," Nessa says wiping her tears.

"Dude are you crying ?" I ask Hugo.

"No, there's something in my eye," he says.

"Yeah, tears," Cris says, "dad everyone is crying at your post."

I laugh, "we'll see you after the game okay," I say.

"Behave," my dad says, "all of you."

"We will," I tell him, "love you."

We hang up and I repost his post on my story. The game soon restarts and we're once again on the edge of our seats wondering how this 2018 World Cup final rematch will go. In the first few minutes of the second half, there are a few substitutions from both teams, and we finally see France become more involved, taking possession of the ball and trying to move in on Croatia. Although there are several more attempts from both teams, the second half goes by goalless and Croatia takes 3rd placed
