Love at First Massage (Jude Bellingham x reader)

Warnings: feet I guess (?)

Masterlist

It was Vinicius who recommended him the place, a nice, unknown, little massage parlour somewhere along the forgotten streets leading up to Plaza Mayor.

The first thing that caught his attention was how empty the place was, a bored looking lady in the reception table checking out her nails as the typical hallway music played on the background.

The sound of his steps got her attention, her eyes didn't widden -probably used to Vini and other players visiting the place-, but he could see recognition on her face as she nodded her head on greeting as he introduces himself, she stood up and leaded him up to the farthest away chair from the windows and told him to wait.

A small chair was next to his chair topped by some magazines, his face visible in one of them, he still couldn't understand spanish, but he guessed they were throwing praises at him for scoring in all La Liga matches since his debut.

"Hi, I am y/n, I am in charge of your massage today"

A voice, your voice, caught his attention, and he was hypnotised from the very first moment, truly believing that he had died and went to heaven.

He tried to greet you back, he truly did, but not a noise came out of his mouth and he missed his opportunity when you arched an eyebrow and got down to work, he was already barefoot, you put some cream in your hands and started.

It were not only, your face and your voice which were angel made, also your hands as Jude could quickly feel the sourness and tiredness slip away and his feet to feel like new.

You were not talkative, or maybe not just with him after he didn't even greet you back.

Jude cleared his throat, yet you didn't look up to him as he scratched his neck and searched for any reason to speak with you.

"Do you watch football?" he wanted to hit himself, why couldn't he think about anything else? You laughed.

"Is that an indirect way of asking whether I know you or don't?" you inquired, looking up to him, a teasing look on your eye "I do know who you are and I do watch football, but maybe my team of choice won't be of your liking, or maybe yes as everyone knows of those tweets of you recognising the real goat"

"I suppose that means you have also seen that school project in which I wrote what my dream team was"

"I did, my brother went crazy calling you an hypocrite for then going to Real Madrid in what he deems a money operation and nothing more"

"He sounds like a real fan"

"Ask Vinicius what happened the last time he came over and my brother just happened to be here. Also tell him he still owes me that money"

"So, you work in this massage parlour and as a side job you do bets with football players for the extra money?"

"Not everyone is offered like a hundred million euros, you do what you have to do, Bellingham"

So, you were beautiful, you were smart, you liked football and you were funny as well as great at massages.

Jude was already down hard, he even thought about purposely injuring himself to come back sooner.

The massage was entirely too short for his liking -it went on for over an hour, you didn't tell him how you were purposely slow to keep on chatting with him.

Turns out, Jude Bellingham wasn't just great at football, but also at mantianimg long conversations and making sure to keep eye contact even while you worked on his feet.

When you finished, Jude almost asked you to keep going, but he didn't want to seem desperate, but he did leave a special note with his phone number written down alongside a generous tip.

He couldn't help but laugh before asking you out on a date, when you sent him a photo of what you had spent your tip on.

You did look good in red and blue, but he bet you would look even better with his last name on your back.

english football team beef is so hilarious to me. and why are players fitting the script?!

[suhstaste]

club football is fun

but international football is so much more fun idk. like i like seeing players come together to represent their countries & also play together after playing for different leagues or club teams.

like i can’t wait to see hakim & achraf together after the shit show that was psg & chels on d*adline day

or seeing the american national team together (i feel like as a collective they don’t have a fun personality but somehow weston mckennie is a funny little guy). tbh they’re kind of a bland national team but still (RAH RAH 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸) also antonee robinson’s sole connection to America is that his dad spent a few years here and got a citizenship….like not a lick of rahhhh rahhh 🦅🇺🇸 in him but purrr we accept.

anywaysssss can’t wait for the next international break, or when the english team comes back together because theyyyy have personalities. they’re fun to watch off the pitch tbh on the pitch i want them to lose tragically by a last minute goal in the 95th minute that once again dashes their hopes for an international trophy “coming home”. i neeed to see Harry Kane fall to his knees in defeat as the realization that a trophy that so close fell through his fingertips again just like the penalty against France that is currently still orbiting the earth. i feel like that’s a painful way to lose & i want pain for England (sorry my luvs jude, marcus, bukayo, reece, jadon & raheem, y’all are just collateral damage. don’t evaaaa wanna see y’all sad 💔).

but i promise off the pitch i love them all (except the tottenham guy, i have unexplained one sided beef with him) and wish them da best

national teams all the time plz.

what kind of girl is Jude Bellingham’s ideal type

quick info: i don’t know jude personally, so this is all based on my own imagination and thoughts. totally switching between you and her pronouns again.

i do like to think that jude loves a girl with a big and bright smile. he always seems to be so confident around people, not only on the pitch but also with any kind of supporters. a bright smile would radiate off the same energy as jude‘s kind of vibes.

also, i imagine him with a brunette or black-haired woman. slightly darker skin, a pretty honey color, or even darker. but i don‘t think he‘s very based on which skin color his girlfriend has, i just imagine him with a honey kind of skin tone woman. and he probably loves curly hair a lot because it kind of resembles his own.

also, style-wise, i do think he loves the elegant type of clothing. like a dress that looks casual at daytime but brings out sinful thoughts when coming home. two pieces are probably his favourite thing, hugging the curves on the top side, and a loose pair of pants or skirt on the bottom.

as any football player, he loves to see his girlfriend in his jersey, which would look extraordinarily good with a darker skin tone and dark hair. he loves to hear his girlfriend cheer, coming home to seeing her in his jersey asleep on the couch when she couldn’t attend a game, and dedicates each goal to his beloved without hesitation. a heart, a blown kiss or even the cheeks wink, he would never hide his love for you.

also, in my eyes, he’s a very outgoing person, and would love a girlfriend that shares that. be prepared for many many dates, bathing in spontaneity and endless different options because that man is totally creative af. so be prepared for multiple surprise vacations, and little surprises being delivered to the house when he isn‘t home, or him just carrying a huge bouquet of roses.

i really do picture jude loving a woman, who loves to travel, loves the spontaneous adventures, and dresses in a very elegant but comfortable way except if she wears his jersey, that‘s probably the best piece of clothing.

can you imagine, jude trying to charm you with german sentences, and it‘s a very weird mixture of english and german but extremely cute that it‘s impossible to say no to a date invitation? yep, i‘m down for that.

also, he probably loves to take pictures of many moments, no matter how embarrassing or unwanted, he just keeps them as memories.

Let’s be honest is Dominik really all that? Trent I get but Dom? Nah. To each their own😂

Honestly I’m just tired of all these Trent/Dom fics on ao3😂. Give me something else, like Jude/Trent 🤧

Ohh actually I never read Trent/Dom on ao3 lol! We definitely need to get more into English NT pairings like Jude with Trent,,

Who’s bottoming in Trent/Dom Fics tho? I’m curious

[diedinacrash]

So I tried to translate the new interview with Dominik. Here's part 1 for all of you out there

I: Everything's good if the end is good?

D: Usually it is.

I: It was very interesting to watch you after the final whistle. Can you remember how you were feeling? What were you thinking?

D:Not only after the final whistle, I'm not sure when we got the second goal, in the 75 minute I think. about what went through me in the last twenty minutes…a lot of things. To be honest, I never give up and trust 120 percent in myself and my team but in that moment when I was standing at the kick-off that 120 percent lowered 119, and for a very little bit I lost my faith. But I knew it couldn’t end like this. So…as it was visible in the last twenty minutes, I tried to play like it was only the start of the match, I tried to keep every ball, I tried, like the others, to win as many one on one fights we could, I tried all types of the free kicks and the corner kicks. And we did have some chances afterwards, unfortunately we couldn’t score from the ones prior to the last goal. But just like you said, everything is good if the end is good.

I: Do you know why that 1 percent was missing?

D: Because, because everything started so well, we started the game so well, because in the first fifteen-twenty minutes they had no chance. We are leading 1-0, they get a red card, we are one man up, then they get a second red, which I think was 50-50, if you give it you give it, if you don’t you don’t, it’s up to the referee. But it was all in our hands, maybe it was the problem that we calmed down, that we can handle it from here. And of course we have a clever Milos over here, he had been told in three languages to please play clever and don’t do anything stupid…57th minute, red card. I was like okay, it’s not a problem, it’s like the game would start now, becaus we had the same number of players. But we are not allowed to let them come onto us, get into or half, the lad ran through four of our men, does the solo of his life, and gets a penalty. Which, to be honest, he ran into Szalai…and they didn't look it back. Anyways, I told the ref at the beginning that I won’t speak, because I already have two yellows, so even if there is a doubtful situation, I leave from there. It’s visible at the penalty that I didn’t even go there, because I really want to play against Montenegro, no matter how it ends. And as the lad scored it I was just staring ahead, after the match I spoke with Lang, and he said the same that he never saw me so lost in the darkness. From an easy match, that could’ve ended pretty fast, we made something like this. But after a minute I clicked back, that was enough to get myself together, then I continued to do my job.

I: Prior to the Lithuanian match, or I rather say after defeating the Serbs there was a chance that the team could be drawn from the first pot. How much attention did you pay to this before the game against Lithuania? And there was still a chance before the Bulgarian game, that you could get into the top six, or in the top five plus the host country?

D: To be honest, yes we did think about it a little bit, but the main goal was to qualify. For the past it was to play in the play-offs and qualify from there, and now thinking about the first pot, it’s a bit of a big jump I think. So, yeah, of course it would’ve been great but this is how it happened, we’re going to the Euros.

I: How stressed were you at the end of the Bulgarian game that the one against Montenegro might be a one on one, to decide who qualifies? Did you think about it in the last twenty minutes?

D: Yes, in those two minutes while I was waiting for the game to continue after the goal, everything went through my mind. In head I was already getting ready for the Montenegro game, but after those two minutes I was like, there won't be a one on one game, we’ll score one now.

I: It’s pretty interesting, on the internet you can find recordings, I’ll show it a bit later, about the situation before the first goal. Ádám Martin told it refined, in the game a bit less refined, where to kick the free kick, you basically kicked him in the head, because you are able to do that. (He means he has so good ball control that he could place it right where his teammate wanted, I’m not sure if it was understandable from the mirror translation) At the second free kick, from what the goal happened, did you say anything to anyone about where will you put it, and asked them to be there or was it totally different?

D: No, no. I was thinking a lot, seeing how much time was remaining, and I was thinking I should aim for the goal, but I knew that’s too much of a risk. It was around 40 meters I think, I thought about my goal against Turkey, and about taking the risk. It’s either a very big goal or it goes so far they’ll have to search for the ball for two days. Then I started to think what would be better, if no one touched a ball, if someone barely did, if it went on from us or from them, it’s all the same as long as it’s a goal. And you can see it on the video. I stopped where I was, in total shock, because I didn’t know what was going on, was it a foul, was it an off-side, did something happen. So I couldn’t really celebrate because I was frozen in place, later I was a little happy.

I: A little bypass, but I’m very curious, because it’s a big talking point in England. How did VAR change you, players, in these types of situations?

D: Very much, if there’s no VAR I’ll run out of the world. No, but really, because only then do I know that it was really a goal. But the referee whistled, and did one like this (he raised his arm and pointed somewhere), which could mean a free kick outside or that he points at the middle for a kick-off. But yeah, there I said we got it.

I: You have an interview, we could see it on the internet, that you gave to a Bulgarian college, he only asked if you could celebrate, or if you did celebrate. You seemed to be very tense there as well. Were you, or did you just have enough and wanted to go home?

D: No, I was tense, and I also had enough, and it was good to release the steam a bit in there. And honestly, how can you ask something like that…the answer was easy, we did celebrate, but normally you don’t ask something like this from someone who qualified for the Euros.

I: Yeah, I agree absolutely. And it’s really something that never happened in our lifetime before, that you qualify as number one from the group. But there is still a match for the first place. How hard is it to concentrate on it, that you should get first place, how important is it to be first in the group? Is it important because of what pot the team will get into, or there’s really no difference between the second and the third pot. Or do you want to play great for the fans?

D: It’s a good question, because again, this must be achieved. I…I don’t think it’s evident, so we achieved a level, that as I said it before, is thanks to us. And we placed expectations high, and we talked about it today that we are the team with the longest undefeated run in the world, so it’s very good being in this, and continuing it. But I don’t know after how many years, or if we ever before qualified for the Euros from our group…I’m not sure if I remember correctly.

I: For example, the last time we had an undefeated year was 1976.

D: So yeah, we did achieve something that hasn’t been since 1976, as you say. And everyone must be proud of this really, because everyone put so much effort into it, the players, the staff members, the physiotherapists, the coach, everyone. No one is here because...or we are not where we are because of me or because of the other player or because of the gaffer, but because we are together in this and everyone knows their role in this. I don’t think it’s evident that we have to qualify as number one, of course as you said, it would be good, we are on it and the fans also deserve a match like that to finish this year with.

I: Are you happy that that game will be held on Sunday afternoon, and you’ll have a bit of time, not to rest, but to regenerate before the derby against City?

D: I’m happy, but if it was on Tuesday, that wouldn’t be a problem either, I could rest enough, I'm still young. But it’s good that the game is at three o’clock, probably more kids could come to the game because it’s not so late, so I’m happy. The atmosphere will be very good, I hope at least.

I: You mentioned that you placed the expectations high for yourselves, and I totally agree. It’s not coming from Hungarian football, for example that you have to fight for a group win in the National Leagues. Or now, that you could qualify as number one from the group to the Euros while the Italians fight and the Polish are suffering, and Ireland can’t even qualify at this point. How hard is it to deal with the growing popularity, that no question exists currently, because twice as many people sit down to watch a National team game than they did three or five years ago.

D: It's not pressure, or at least everyone deals with it differently…

I: How do you?

D: For me it’s not pressure. Really there’s only a few things that can put me under pressure, for example this game succeeded in this. But really, I know what I’m capable of, what my team is capable of and I think everyone knows about themselves what they can or can’t do. And that we achieved this level is only thanks to us. As I said, I love to be here, I would spend all my days here if I could. I never laugh as much as I do here at anywhere else, and in addition we are successful, so it’s amazing.
