i made sure she drank a lot of water throughout the day.we mostly cuddled in bed until i told el that i had to leave for practice.

"call me if you need anything," i told her as i exited the room.

i left the house and drove to the practice area. and when i got there i saw the coach and the rest of my team in a conversation.

i walked over to them.

"joão you're here," coach said, "sit down."

i sat next to antònio on the bench as the coach continued to talk.

"we leave for qatar in exactly one week, which means you guys have to work extra hard if you want portugal to win, from now on we are gonna have practice everyday for two hours. let's start."

i sighed as everyone stood up.

eleanor's pov: i had just finished breakfast with rosia. antònio had also also taken her home yesterday.

we both went into the living room and sat on the couch.

"ooh i know! we should watch netflix," rosia exclaimed.

i was about to agree with her until my phone vibrated. i picked it up and it was a text from georgina??

georgina:

hey eleanor! it's georgina, joão félix gave me your number. i wanted to ask if you and your friend rosia wanted to come round in about half an hour?

"oh my god!" i exclaimed, "georgina just texted me."

rosia gasped and immediately looked at my phone. she squealed.

"what are you waiting for?? say yes!"

i smiled excitedly and texted her back.

eleanor

of course! we would love to.

georgina

great! see you girls soon.

"georgina is literally so pretty, i can't believe she asked US to go!" rosia said.

i nodded my head and agreed. i went to joão's number and noticed that it was now called 'loml 💕' i assumed that he had done that as i got butterflies in my stomach and smiled.

eleanor

hey babe just texting to let you know that me and rosia will be at georgina's house

-delivered

he normally messages me right back but he was in practice so i guess he couldn't.

me and rosia watched netflix for about ten minutes before getting in her car. she dropped me off to my house so i could change.

i unlocked the door and ran into my room. i changed into a simple white dress with leggings and i wore my airforces.

i climbed back into her car as she drove. she put the song 'big boy' by sza as we vibed together and sang.

soon after 20 minutes rosia parked outside ronaldo's house. she locked the car as we walked over to the door, i knocked on it two times and waited patiently.

a few seconds later georgina opened the door, smiling at us while holding baby bella

"hello girls! i'm so glad to see you, please do come in," she said as we followed her inside and closed the door behind us.

"we're happy to be here." i smiled

"and baby bella looks so cute!" rosia added, excitedly."that's so kind, isn't that bella?" she said as she looked at her and wiggled her nose. bella giggled.

me and rosia looked at each other and we were dying of cuteness.

"well, i hope you girls don't mind if i go feed her? you can go inside the living room - the rest of the kids are there," she said.

"of course!" i  replied.

georgina smiled warmly and took bella upstairs. me and rosia walked into the living room. as we went inside we saw alana, eva, and mateo. they were sitting on colourful mats on the floor and me and rosia joined them.

"hi!" we exclaimed.

we introduced ourselves to them and they greeted us back. god, they were cute.

this chapter is short so i apologise 🙏
