Premier Men (Footballers) ⚽️💘

Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United)

My family don't like you, but I do

'Mum, I'm going out to the shop now' I shouted as I descended down the stairs.

'Are you sure about that? Or are you going to see that strange footballer?' My mum squinted her eyes at me

'Nooo. Why would I do that?' I scoffed, knowing that was what I was exactly going to do

I was in Belgium for my course work, studying health and fitness. This was after the World Cup so everyone was so excited to see their footballers. I was buying some nice chocolate to test the rumours of their chocolate being immaculate when I bumped into someone. At first I kind of liked him. We started seeing each other during the time we were in Belgium, we kissed and got together. I loved Romelu and he loved me. But the slight problem was that my parents, especially my mum, didn't approve of me having a boyfriend. I told him so many times that I was in love with him, but she wasn't having it. I told her that we ended it but clearly I didn't. He played for Manchester United, near where I lived and the team my brother's supported. Sometimes after uni, I told my mum that I was going to revise in the library but that was also a lie. Tonight, he was free so this was such an opportunity.

'So why are you wearing makeup?' She asked

'You know. Just in case I bump into someone'

I swiftly walked out of the door and whipped out my phone to text Romelu.

Me- the coast is clear
Rom❤️- yes. I can't wait to see you my love
Me- me too. I love you 😘
Rom❤️- love you too

I reached the meet up area and looked for him until I heard my name.

'Y/n!' Someone called out

'Where are you?' I shouted

'Over here' he smile as he walked over to me

He wrapped his arms around me and we kissed.

'How was your uni course work?' He asked

'Very great. My lecturer was so impressed' I replied

'That's my girl' he smiled

'How was football?'

'It's ok I guess. I mean, we lost to Cardiff on our last game but I hope for better days' he said

'Don't worry babe. Things will get better for your team Rom' I reassured him.

'What do you want to eat tonight?' He asked

'I'm craving a lamb kebab' I squealed

'Oh snap I left my wallet at home' he said looking for it

'Don't worry about it babe. I'll pay for it' I said fishing out my purse

'No baby you know I don't wrap with yo paying for us' he said

'It's ok. I'll pay for a change'

He gave an uncomfortable smile but I told him that it was ok.

We finished eating and we walked hand in hand down the road until we heard footsteps

'Is that Lukaku?' Some boys shouted but then I realised. It was my 3 older brothers. I tried to avoid eye contact but it was too late.

'WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY SISTER?' One of them said as they started to run towards us. My brothers don't really like Romelu as fans of Man United, but seeing me hand in hand with him made their blood boil.

'I'm with her so what are you going to do about it?' He said squaring up to them, but all of a sudden, one of my brothers swung for him, punching him in the lip.

The situation got out of hand. They all punched, kicked him to the ground.

'Stop it STOP IT YOURE KILLING HIM!' I screamed, tears falling down my face.

After a few minutes, one of them grabbed my arm as they left him bleeding on the ground. I tried to lose his grip but I couldn't.

*skips ride home*

'Guess where she was mum' one of my brothers said

My mum looked at me confused

'You went out with that boy again didn't you?' She said with her hands on her hips

I lowered my gaze

'But mum I love him' I said

'Don't say that rubbish to me' she slapped me hard across my face and I held my cheek in tears and pain.

'Give me your phone. Your father is going to know about this right now' she said getting her phone.

I dashed up the stairs and sobbed into my pillow

Morning arrives and it's just early. I quickly shower and eat and then I secretly sneak out of the house without anyone noticing. I just hoped and prayed that Romelu didn't have training.

I knock on his door hoping for an answer. Someone answers the door, the man I just wanted.

'Y/n! How are you here so early?' He said hugging me immediately. I hugged him back. I missed his presence. His face looked pretty ok after being battered by my nonsensical brothers.

'Are you ok?' I said. He nodded. 'Rom, I think it is time to break up' I said tears in my eyes

'No y/n. I love you. I never want to split up with you, even if it means that I will wait for the right time that your family will say yes' he said as he looked into my eyes

'It's tiring. I don't want to be sneaking behind my parents back anymore'

We stared at each other for a moment

'I love you' He said. No one had said that to me before and meant it

'I love you too' I smiled
