here you go monk .... it's a... "shortie"
“Cari.... Come on!!” Alexia hollered down the hallway towards the guestroom – now your room
“Calm your titts Putellas... I'm coming” you huffed as you hopped down the corridor trying to get your shoe on
“It's your first official day as a staff member of Barcelona...” the catalan scolded you
“And it's like... three hours before training even starts” you pointed out hopping past her when you felt her tug on your shirt
“Pants” Alexia rolled her eyes and you looked down on yourself realizing you only wore boxer shorts
“You couldn't have said that sooner??” you groaned running back to your room
“I'm so thankful to not have any kids right now” the blonde spaniard mumbled to herself watching you sliding over the hardwood floor into the room that was a guest room in the past
“Okay... pants... check” you panted as you ran past her just to get stopped roughly by Alexia grabbing your collar
“Kit bag?” Alexia asked raising her eyebrow
“Ugh... I'm seriously regretting my decision right now” you huffed as you turned around once more
“How did she even function until now?” the blonde asked herself bewildered
“Okay.... now I've got everything” you stopped right in front of the blonde smiling proudly
“Shoes?” the spaniard pointed down on your sock covered feet
“Ohhh maaaan” you whined throwing your head back in defeat
“Okay stop Cariño...” Alexia stopped you from starting to put on your shoes
“What now?” you moaned
“Take a breath for me..” the blondes voice going soft “... deep breath”
“Bueno” Alexia smiled when she saw how you took a deep breath “.. now.. sort your head and start again”
You took another deep breath trying sort your running thoughts but Alexia saw how you got more stressed
“What's the matter Cari?” the catalan said softly
“I can't do this Ale...” you mumbled
“You can't do what?” Alexia pushed gently
“I can't train people that watched me grow up” you said your breathing becoming quicker as you balanced on the line of a panic attack
“Cariño....” the blonde grabbed your shoulders firmly trying to ground you “... I train people I grew up WITH... you think it's easy to train Mapí or Tana... you think it's easy for me to yell at them to run faster or move quicker keeping an eye on the ball when I KNOW how they play? Or tell Lucy to drop back when I know that she already knows that she's pushing too high? It's not but it's our job now... so for these three hours we are not their friends – we are their coaches okay?”
“You enjoy yelling at people” you mumbled your breathing slowing down again
“I do... just not at my friends” Alexia chuckled “I absolutely love yelling at Madrid players and refs”
“Yeah... you made that one clear last time we played Madrid... Olga was not pleased with the words you used... she covered my ears” you pouted a bit
“Not one of my best moments” the blonde said a little embarrassed
“Olga made you pay a lot into the swear jar” you pointed out
“Rightfully so... but that's not the matter on hand... you try buying time but we have to leave eventually” Alexia smiled softly
“Can't we just call in sick?” you asked your voice small
“No Cari... you are the best one for the job...” the catalan said gently “... you trained England and now they are back to back European Champions and favourite for the next World Cup and Olympics”
“Sarina brought England that far...” you mumbled your eyes fixed on the floor
“Oh please...” Alexia snorted “... as if... we all know it was you... your plays... your tactics... your brilliant Ideas”
“I may have pointed a few things out...” you mumbled ashamed
“You are the best Cariño... the way you improved off the pitch in the last year is just outstanding” the blonde kept her voice soft trying to coax you out of your shell of insecurities “... you know why Barca offered you the contract you signed a few days ago? Because the whole squad wanted you here... Maps threatened to refuse to play if “her neña” is not joining... everyone looks up to you... maybe not as a player... but definitely as a staff member and even more so as a person”
“But what if I make wrong decisions?” you mumbled
“We are a familia here Cari and you know that... even if you make a wrong decision... we're all there to get through it” Alexia smiled seeing how you get more confident again “I made a wrong decision by putting Ingrid back in midfield and making Lucy a centre back instead of leaving our backline like it is... and what happened? The game was chaotic and I learned from it... not making that mistake again”
“Told you it was a stupid idea” you mumbled making Alexia laugh
“Sí you did... but also Ingrid came as a Midfielder to Barcelona...” the catalan pointed out gently taking you hand to softly pull you out of her house “Now come on... I'll let you make Mapí run laps for no specific reason”
“Uh...” your mood perked up immediately
“Only if you get going” Alexia pointed her finger at you smiling
“Already gone” you yelled sprinting through the door
“CARI....” the catalan yelled after you when she stood in the middle of your stuff which you carelessly left behind
“You're stuff...” Alexia mumbled watching you sprinting down to the car as she started to pick up your shoes, kitbag and jacket before following you out the door “... I don't need children – I already have an adopted one”
“Can I try something?” you stood next to Alexia on the side-line both of you sporting the same stance legs shoulder wide rooted into the grass arms crossed in front of your chest
“Will it break any of my players?” Alexia kept her eyes on the pitch where there was a 5on5 going on
“No...” you rolled your eyes “... I just think players would benefit from rotating through the five a side... like getting Cata and Ellie out on the field and the field players in goal... different perspective you know”
“I can't risk say Ona breaking Mapís hand because she tries to hold a ball that Ona pulled through” the blonde said now turning her head to look at you
“Then we make it without goals and no diving or something” you shrugged your shoulders
“If someone break I'll put you in the starting XI next game” Alexia raised her eyebrow at you
“Dislocate??? Next game is Champions League against Arse-Anal!!!” you screeched
“Do your Tías know how you butcher their club?” the blonde looked at you unimpressed “And yes I know... so you better make sure to not break anyone”
“Yes they know... Leah and Meado are not great fans of me renaming the club” you at least had the audacity to look a little guilty
“I wonder why...” Alexia snorted “... go on... confuse my team with your plan”
“Thanks Mamí” you grinned earning yourself a hard punch against the shoulder
“I'm far too young to be your mother” the catalan grumbled
“No... no you're not” you snorted
“Last chance” the catalan shot you a glare
“OY!!” you yelled and whistled loudly so everyone stopped and looked over at you
“Bitsy no... I know that look” Keira immediately groaned seeing that little smirk that played around your lips “What did you come up with now?”
“I think you all take your positions for too granted... so we'll play a game of switch a lot... every time La Coacharacha over here blows the whistle you'll change positions... that means keepers getting field time... field players go into goal... how you switch I don't care but when we done with it everyone played every position... you all know I can save stuff in me brain.. I will know if someone of you skipped... and we won't stop playing until everyone was everywhere... yes Mapí... you can play forward” you explained your plan and already answered Mapís question before the tattooed spaniard even ask it “... no rockets on goal if a field player is in between the posts... and if one of you has the audacity to break I'm personally kill them”
Some of the younger players looked at you shocked while Keira just rolled her eyes
“And why?” your second Mother asked a little annoyed
“Because I say so...” you looked at her challenging
“Bitsy...” Keira warned you “... I still have blackmail pictures of you”
“I just think you all fell... into a trot you know... you all play outstanding and you know that... but you all feel to secure in your positions... it's tiring... so I want to pull you out of your daily play” you said grumbling a little that Keira still calls the shots on you
“Can she do that?” Inez a young talented player ask looking at Alexia who was just checking her nails knowing not to get in between Keira and you “She's not the Coach”
“Dislocating??” you exclaimed bewildered looking at the young player like you saw a ghost
“Calm Cari...” Alexia immediately stepped in “... yes she can... she is a big enrichment to this team and we can call ourselves lucky to have her on your side of the bench instead of having to fight the team she's coaching... on top would she never do something like that without consoling me”
“You think just because you wear the newest cleats you are better than me and know everything” you challenged the young spanish player
“Bitsy” Keira said softly
“Cariño” Alexia said at the same time as she pushed herself between you and Inez
“No... this little...” you started to push against Alexias back
“... Puta....” Mapí threw in
“Thank you” you said absently as you pushed more and more against Alexia
“María León” Alexia scolded her best friend
“You listen and you listen closely little girl” you sneered over Alexias shoulder “... if I say you do push ups until you puke, you'll do push ups until you puke your guts out and then you'll thank me that I wasted my time on your useless being”
“Okay WOW” Keira said when she quickly walked around Alexia grabbing you to pull you a little away to defuse the situation “Calm down...”
“The rest of you... back to training” Alexia barked ending all upcoming arguments immediately
“What's going on Bitsy” Keira asked watching as you angrily roamed in front of her
“Who does that... girl... think she is?” you grumbled “Can she do that?” you mimicked Inez
“Bits...” the englishwoman said softly smiling a little
“No... not this time Kei...” you exploded in her face “... she thinks she's the shit since she started to train with the first team.... I honestly don't know why Alexia called her up because she's BARLEY average... there are at least four other players in the B-Team that have more potential AND a better head on them... BUT... that was Alexias call but I won't have her disrespecting me”
“You done?” Keira asked
“No...” you spat “... her left foot is shit she can't even balance on it and her right foot – which should be her stronger one even tho she said she can shoot on both – is so weak that she can't even control her shot... she got minutes in all three liga games we had so far and she made NO difference....”
“Okay enough” the blonde interrupted you strictly
“You know I'm right” you grumbled hating it when Keira pulled out her Mom-voice
“I know you somewhat want to show your worth to the team but that's not necessary Bits” Keira said her voice turning soft again “... we all know what you and your brain is worth... and don't let a young unexperienced player pull your teeth like that...”
“Then that little...” you started grumbling
“Bitsy...” the blonde groaned “.... stop being an idiot”
“That's it... idiot... that's IT....” you suddenly exclaimed hugging Keira quickly “... thanks Mom... you're the best”
“What??” Keira said confused as she watched you sprinting back to Alexia
“ALEXIA” you screamed running down the side-line
“Stop yelling Cari” Alexia kept her eyes on the field watching how Cata and Ellie struggle to keep hold of the ball
“I love you you know” you grinned sweetly as you nearly crashed into her
“Whatever you want... no” the blonde said before she blew the whistle again signalling another position change
“Ale pleeeeeaaaaaase....” you whined tugging on the blondes shirt lightly
“How do Lucy and Ona deal with that all day??” Alexia mumbled to herself before looking at you “What is it Cariño”
“Can I please... borrow.. Cata later?” you threw your best puppy eyes at the new Barca coach
“Cari” the catalan groaned
“I swear I won't break her...” you said quickly “... 20 minutes or so”
“IF Cata has time and agrees... yes” Alexia finally gave in already knowing it wasn't just Cata you wanted to “borrow”
“Yes...” you said happily “... te amo Mamí”
“Stop calling me Mom” the blonde grumbled
“Gracias Tío” you laughed already sprinting away from Alexia
“Come back here you little Annoyance” Alexia yelled after you but couldn't hold back her smile preferring your teasing to you trying killing members of the team
“Cata Cata Cata Cata Cata” you crashed into Barcelonas first Keepers
“Woah Frijolito” Cata exclaimed nearly getting knocked over by your force “Where's the fire?”
“Can you stay an extra half an hour?” you asked pulling out the puppy eyes again “I pay you good ice cream I swear”
“Frijo.... my girlfriend is waiting” Cata looked at you apologetic
“Cata pleeeeeaaaaasssseeee” you whined
“Why don't you ask Ellie?” Barcas No.1 asked softly trying to find a solution for a problem she doesn't even knew was existed
“Oh god no... I'm not getting in between the posts when she's in her petty mode” Ellie snorted from the side lines just pulling off her gloves “... you forget one thing Coll.... I grew up with her, Tooney and Lessia... I know the shit they come up with... and she's the worst one”
“Keira always says if you have nothing important to say keep your gob shut” you looked at your friend “... so keep it shut Roebuck”
“I give you an advise Cata...” Ellie ignored you successfully “... remember that look she has now... if you see it... just say no...”
“You're such an Arsebiscuit” you grumbled lightly shooting a ball at your friend who caught it easily laughing at you
“I'm really sorry Frijo... tomorrow okay” Cata quickly pressed a kiss to your forehead before she left you standing there
“Oh Roebuck” you sing-songed
“Nope” Ellie interrupted you quickly “... not getting involved... the last time was enough... never EVER getting involved with anything that includes you, Tooney and Lessi....”
“I TOLD you to run... not my fault you have the reaction time of a sloth” you rolled your eyes “... it was really bad that Sarina caught you... she's Ancient... how could she be faster than you?”
“You just yelled “run”... not which direction!!!” Ellie exclaimed
“Yeah obviously the same direction Toons, Less and I started running” you shot back
“Ugh... not getting involved with you... so go torture that girl that pissed you off earlier” the blonde waved off throwing her stuff in her kit bag
“Oh I will... where is that little piece of...” you grinned before looking around if Alexia and/or Keira where close then whispered “... bitch”
“10€” you heard Keiras voice from the tunnel
“How did you even hear that???” you asked flabbergasted
“Bat ears” Keira yelled back not even bothering explaining further as she was on the way to the locker room
“So unfair” you grumbled when you spotted the target of you pettiness “Oy Gonzola”
“Me?” Inez looked around then pointing at herself
“You know another Gonzola on the team??” you asked annoyed as you made a “come here”-motion with your hand
“My name is Gonzales” the dark haired young player said confused
“Yeah yeah Gonzola....” you waved off “... you made pretty clear you don't think I belong in the position I currently occupie... so let me show you why I have this position next to La Reina”
You picked up a ball the two of you the last one on the field
“If you manage to take a ball off me or get past me scoring I'll let you be for the rest of the season...” you said your voice uncharacteristically calm “... to make it even I won't wear cleats.. I’ll play barefoot...”
“I got called up from Alexia herself” the young player said cocky “... you just got the job because of your sister.... it's common knowledge in the B-Team”
“Hm...” you hummed “... as I said if you get a ball off me or score against me I'll give you one free pass per session so if you want to sit out an exercise I will let you... BUT... if I score against you you'll apologize next training in front of the team AND you'll resign back to the B-Team”
“Absolutely not” Inez exclaimed
“Chicken” you snorted knowing how to push the young spaniards buttons
“I'll show you chicken” the younger One sneered “... I'll end you”
“We'll see” you smirked evilly knowing the cocky girl was no match for you
“What's going on here?” Alexia asked as she came back out on the field looking for you finding the whole team in the stand looking down on the Pitch
“Nena is playing with her food again” Mapí said grinning widely
“Disculpe??” Alexia asked confused
“What Mapí means is that y/n making Inez work...” Irene said looking at the pitch in awe
“What the...” Alexia started looking over Mapís head down on the field “... for how long is this going on now?”
“Bout 15 Minutes now...” Ellie said from further down the row doing crossword puzzles “I advise to get Keira if you want to break it up... not even Sarina was able to get her to stop when she did the same with LJ once... once Nuts sets her mind in torture mode Keira is the only One who can break her out of it...”
Everyone looked in shock as you easily outplayed the young spaniard laughing loudly when the dark haired one fell face first into the grass as you controlled the ball centimetres away from her shoulder not even sweating. Inez got back up trying to take the ball off you once again letting the dark haired One blaze past you. She got more and more frustrated meaning she stopped making decent decisions instead she tried to force you off the ball. The next second she came at you again and you rainbow flicked the ball over her head laughing when you collected the ball behind her back.
“Ellie..” Alexia said in total shock
“Yes?” the blonde Goalkeeper looked up from her puzzle
“For how long will this go on?” the blonde spaniard asked not taking her eyes off the field
“Dunno... with LJ Keira made Nuts stop after three hours... girl wasn't even sweating while LJ was nearly dead on her feet...” Ellie shrugged her shoulders “... in favor of your player down there I wouldn't let her keep going because y/n will kill that girl... not.. literally... just... physically and mentally”
“Uh uh uh... Nena is going to score... you just watch” Mapí slapped Ingrids knee excited as you pulled your foot back shooting on goal
“Naah... not from this distance” Ellie waved off “... not dramatic enough.... she'll go for the crossbar”
And you did just that – you pulled your foot back looking as Inez came sliding in trying to stop you from shooting but you already used the momentum to push your foot “through” the ball. The second the ball left your foot you turned around walking back towards the middle line looking at your audience smirking evilly as the ball hit the crossbar full force making the post shake. Ellie caught your smirk bursting out laughing making everyone looking at her confused
“As I said...” Ellie wheezed “... get Keira back here.. she won't stop... I know that smirk... she'll destroy that girl”
“Someone phone Keira... now” Alexia looked at her team already on her way down to the pitch “Cariño!!!”
“Ay Capitana... here to join our little 1v1??” you sing-songed as you saw Alexia jumping over the barrier
“You'll stop right now” the blonde said seriously
“Oh no... you can join her side” you pointed your thumb over your shoulder at Inez who panted heavily the ball at her feet “... but I'm not stopping”
“You'll stop right now” Alexia repeated standing now right in front of you looking down at you
“I'm not... I won't let this no name disrespect me in front of everyone... she's a nothing and her playing didn't improve either in the last two seasons B-Team nor in the time she was here” you said calmly seeing how Inez started a new attack on “your” goal
“... dislocate me for a second...” you smirked sprinting after Inez taking the ball off her easily once again dribbling back to Alexia “... as I said... I won't stop.. you can either join her or you get off the pitch letting me have some fun”
“Then I order you to stop” Alexia said not backing down either
“You what?” you asked confused for a second before you bursted out laughing
“I tell you y/n... you stop right now... I can't let you hurt any of my players” the blonde said seriously
“I'm not hurting anyone... I'll just draw a line when someone questions my qualification...” you said equally as serious changing your stance letting Inez run past you once again “... oh... and tells me it's basic knowledge in the B-Team that I am where I am because of my sister”
“We can talk about all that tomorrow... but right now... right here... final whistle” Alexia tried to get the ball and you just pulled the ball away from here jogging a little bit backwards
“So you joining her... good... it got boring after two minutes anyway” you said the look on your face dark
“I'm not joining anyone” the catalan said calmly “... I want to go home... with you... Olga cooked dinner already”
Alexia tried a different approach hoping anyone got a hold of Keira in the meantime because she herself won't be able to get you to stop. She also hoped the mention of Olga pulled you out of your mood a little bit.
“Come on Cari.... por favor” the blonde smiled softly and she really thought she had you for a second when Inez came back trying to tackle into you
“You really piss me off you do know that?” you said as you send Inez flying once again
“Y/N TOUGH BRONZE!!!!!!” you suddenly heard Keiras voice – and she didn't sound happy
“Uh oh” you mumbled looking around finding Keira stomping out of the tunnel
“HERE!!!!” the blonde yelled pointing in front of her “RIGHT NOW!!!”
You looked horrified thinking about running the other way
“Don't even think about it” Keira yelled knowing every muscle twitch of you “Get your ass over here... just because Lucy and Ona are not around doesn’t mean you can go around being an asshole”
“She started it” you defended yourself pointing at Inez
“Don't make me come over there Y/n Bronze...” the blonde threatened you and you quickly made your way over the ball never leaving your bare feet
“You know I love you” Keira said as you stopped in front of her but keeping your arm length distance “... but we had this before... you CAN'T go and disregard people in their job... I know what you are able to do and if I could've swapped places with you when you had your injuries I would've without a second thought... I understand that you are still hurt because of the robbed opportunity of you shining on the pitch yourself... but we talked about this and you can't do this...”
“She...” you exclaimed
“No Bits...” the blonde immediately interrupted you softly “... no she... no buts... this little revenge you started is ending right now... you'll pack your stuff and go home with Alexia”
“She was mean too” you mumbled
“Just because she told you to stop doesn't mean she's mean...” Keira chuckled
“I want to go home to Luce...” you mumbled a little sadly
“She'll be back next week Bits” the blonde pulled you into a hug seeing how the anger left your body
“Why couldn't I stay with you??” you pushed your face in Keiras neck
“I told you why... my flat gets renovated” Keira chuckled nodding Alexia over who carefully approached you after she sat Inez down letting Irene dealing with the youngling
“Can we go home now Cari??” Alexia asked gently pulling you softly away from Keira
“Just let me score that goal I was holding off...” you mumbled being tightly held against the Catalans side
You wriggled away from Alexia taking a few steps back running up absolutely belting the ball across the field. Everyone watched in shock as the ball blazed across the pitch hitting the back of the net – and ripping it making the ball bounce against the fence behind the goal.
“We can go now” you said after you released a satisfied breath seeing all the horrified faces turning your way as you turned around walking into the tunnel
“And again I have to get her stuff” Alexia grumbled picking up your kit bag swinging it over her shoulder
“Welcome to unwanted motherhood Ale....” Keira laughed loudly “Just wait until she gets sick or has a nightmare... THEN you'll decide you never want children”
“Oh I'm so looking forward to it” the catalan said sarcastically
“Olga I scored at training today” you immediately said happily as you tanked through the door
“Bueno Estrella...” Olga looked up from her work smiling softly “... where did you leave my girlfriend?”
“Oh Ale so slow... she taking ages getting her stuff from the car” you waved off as you flew into the kitchen
“Shoes off” Olga scolded you softly and you followed suit kicking them off your feet making them fly into the hallway
“Ay!!” Alexia exclaimed shocked as one of them nearly hit her
“Scusi!” you yelled back as you pulled out the chair next to Olga trying to get a glimpse of her papers which the calm spaniard already started to collect again
“That's Italian” Olga chuckled
“Spanish version of Scusi” you yelled towards the hallway
“We taught you spanish...” Alexia grumbled before walking over to her girlfriend kissing the woman quickly
“Lost silence then...” you shook your head before scrunching up your nose “ew”
“Dinner is nearly ready” Olga said softly chuckling at your reaction to Alexia kissing her “Shower... both of you”
“I didn't even sweat today” you exclaimed
“I don't care...” Olga said “... you smell like a locker room...”
“That's Alexia not me....” you defended yourself
“Shower” Olga fixed you with a glare pointing down the hallway
“Ugh” you groaned peeling yourself of the kitchen chair
“Careful Estrella...” Olga said eyebrow raised “... I can still withhold dessert”
“Going” you quickly said basically sprinting out of the room
“While she is the reason I think I never want children” Alexia said as she hugged her girlfriend from behind laying her head on Olgas shoulder “... you are the reason I want children”
“You are just a push over” Olga chuckled “... and she was right... you also smell like locker room”
“Yeah I'm already going” Alexia said rolling her eyes playfully before pressing another kiss to her girlfriends cheek
“I thought you're already in the shower” Alexia startled you a little bit coming into the hallway
“That's me” you whispered confused staring at some pictures
“Hm?” the catalan looked over your shoulder seeing the picture in question “Yes... yes that's you.... and that's you too... and there too...”
“Why... why are there pictures of me here?” you asked
“The same reason why there are pictures of mi Mamí, Alba, Olga and my friends are hanging there” Alexia said softly “... Familia Cari... you are family”
“I'm...” you said chocked up
“Family Cariño” Alexia said again letting you stand there making her way to the shower
The pictures showed you in different stages of your relationship with Alexia. The first was from one of the first games you attended showing how you were about to climb on Alexias back screaming bloody murder at the ref and a very horrified look sporting Alexias face. The next one showed you running after a laughing Alexia after a trainings session when she stole your second cleat and Jonas invited you to kick a ball around a bit. The next one was when you fell asleep on top of Alexia on the plane after a Champions League game in Italy and Alexia having a soft smile on her face as she held you tightly against her. The fourth one was from a vacation in Ibiza with you on Jennis shoulders playing chicken fight against Alexia and Mapí. You remember that you and Jenni had to wait ages until Ale and Maps decided who would sit on whose shoulders – turned out the answer was quite simple since Mapí immediately drowned once Ale was on her shoulders. The fifth and last one was a new one. Maybe two days old. It showed Olga, Alexia and you on the couch with you spread on top of both of them sleeping peacefully.
“Familia” you said quietly to yourself before turning towards the second bathroom already planning on putting on the tab resulting in Ale screaming bad spanish words as her water suddenly turned ice cold and you smirking widely
