"Yes?"
He looked at me with infirm and swelling eyes. I felt like he just finished 10 glasses of drinks. The huge crowd was behind him. And he was there sitting alone. I hate the smell. I felt like vomiting.
"Ahm. Actually, hi." I don't know how to start. It was the first time I was talking with him. "Hi, how are you?" He kept the formality run. I didn't contact my eyes with him. I was feeling so much disgust. "Yeah good. Actually, I mean, how are you?" I don't know what was he thinking after hearing from me. "Good, thank you." Shit, I forgot to thank him. It would be stupid if I continue like that. So, I went directly at the point. "Actually, I don't know how to start it." He was so calm and was hearing. I somehow was confused. His eyes was speaking the things his behaviour didn't. His glare was like he didn't sleep well for more than a week. I guessed it wasn't for the Euro. I wish I had the gut as a junior to ask him!
I was embarrassed that he was strangely looking at me. I was staring at him and observing his face. I had no idea how he took it. "Sorry. I was thinking if it's right time to ask." "You can say. It's okay." He was still strange. Trying to figure it out. " Actually, one of my friend is your biggest fan. And he- he asked me to bring your autograph and a message for him. Would you-" "Sure. You can tell me directly. Don't feel hesitate." He told me and took the football from my hand. I was stupid to wander all around the party with the football with Croatia's logo in my hand. After giving his autograph and a message, he gave it back. "Tell him that I say him- HI." "Of course. And thank you very much." "No, it's not a big deal."
That was the moment I first talked with him. Totally stupid.
"I know you're hurt, Draz. But I can't do anything. Trust me it's not how it works. I'm not his teammate either. I don't have his number." I tried to ease some of his tensions out. What else can I do? We are both footballers that doesn't mean we can stand against someone's private life's issues. I hope he can get it.
After a few hours,
I don't know why the most important topic was them in your conversation. If it was for Draz, what's for me? I went to ask it. "Enough. You both are here to see ME. Why are the two of you wasting time behind that most important matter according to you? Don't we have any other thing to talk about? And if the answer is no- then you can leave. I turned my face around to Felix, who's scrolling my phone. Seriously? "Fel, give it to me. What the heck! I don't have any crush so that you can confess-" "Dude, dude, dude. You HAVE a crush. Look, Draz-" He didn't give it to me. He jumped over Draz's side and showing his my screen. With my injured knee I can not even move properly. They were sitting before me. Draz's reaction didn't speak anything. But Fel was excited and impatient. What did he find?
They both looked at me at the same time. I was strangely watching them. "Dude, you told me that you don't save those information about them." He held the screen to me for letting me get the confirmation. "Then what's all these?" He asked while holding the phone before my face. Then he took it back of my sight. "Your save history is all about Modric and Neymar." I could clearly see the shock on his face. "I remember you told us you hate them. Then-" "Just give it back. It was all highlighting news back then and I was searching for information. I needed the relevant links that's why I saved those. Don't take it in another way. I still HATE them." I told the truth but couldn't ignore the kinky smile on his face. Whatever, what would he do?
They did not extend the stupid matter more. It was the time for departure. Finally, the conversation came to an end. After eating Pizza, they were about to leave. I asked them to stay for dinner, but they didn't want. Not because they were busy, but-
"No, dude. We can not wait for dinner." "Why not?" "Ha, ha. Man some good things are waiting for you on the table." I didn't get the joke. "Like. What are you talking about?" Felix pats on my shoulder and laughs. "Something spicy." They didn't say anymore thing.
