Chapter 1 - Size of A Plum | âOursâ
Pancakes. That was the only thing in your mind since you went to sleep last night. It was obscenely early so Trent was still fast asleep when you slipped out of your bedroom. He had a game last night and although you knew he preferred to wake up and have a cuddle with you after being knackered from his match. Unfortunately for him, your pregnancy cravings were not going to be as understanding as you knew he would be. You tiptoed down the stairs and crept into the kitchen. You turned on the warm lights and looked out into the still dark morning outside. You moved around the kitchen seamlessly pulling out all the ingredients for blueberry pancakes. It was hard not to make any noise as you whisked the batter in a ceramic bowl but you tried your best. You knew things were still fairly easy for you this early in your pregnancy so you were cherishing the morning and moments of fleeting ease and alone time. You swayed back and forth in a pair of Trentâs joggers and a little tank top focused on getting the pancakes a perfect golden brown humming the song currently stuck in your head. You were oblivious to the fact that a sleepy Trent had snuck into the kitchen. Your heart just about stopped when you felt his warm hands come around your waist. He tucked his head onto your shoulder and rested his chin on you.
âHi babyâŠâ you whispered, twisting your neck to try to land a quick peck on him. Your free hand rubbed over his arms that had wrapped tightly around you. He only hummed, pressing a kiss to your bare skin. âSorry, I really wanted pancakes. I didnât mean to wake you up, sleepy boy.â Your thumb continued to brush his strong arms in front of you.
âCute...â he whispered with another kiss. He squeezed you a little tighter. He thought everything you did since becoming pregnant was adorable. You personally thought your indecision and late night cravings were annoying but if he thought otherwise you werenât going to be the one to ruin it for him. Anything you wanted, he handled it and he loved doing it. Trent would get up in the middle of the night and drive to the shop just to get the specific red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting you were thinking about. .
âI know you donât want these.â You giggled, flipping a pancake over. You knew this was not Trentâs breakfast of choice. He hummed a ânuhuhâ He could barely get any words out he was so tired. You felt bad he was even standing up with you. âWant an omelet, T?â He didnât respond, he just kissed your shoulder again. You slid the spatula under the pancake and plopped it onto a plate off to the side and turned off the burner. You spun around encased in his arms. You brought your hands up to cup his face. You rubbed your nose against his. âCan you at least go lay on the couch for me? Youâre making me feel bad. Iâll come bring it over to you when Iâm done.â You cooed before pressing your soft lips against his. It only elicited another hum. His eyelids were so heavy you could barely see his beautiful big brown eyes making you feel that much worse he was awake.
âPromise youâll come be with me? I want to spend my morning with you, baby.â He slid his hands in your his joggers to lay over your ass. His hands massaged over the soft skin. You smirked at his affectionate touch. Trent was always inadvertently so touchy when he was sleepy. He was so clingy and it made you melt. It was so cute for someone who typically liked to be alone, that, in these moments, he wanted to be so close to you.
âI promiseâ you assured him with a kiss.
âGoodâ he mumbled out before letting go of you. He pressed a sleepy kiss to your cheek and turned to leave the kitchen. You watched him tiredly trudge off rubbing his hands over his eyes. His exposed back muscles looked really really good. You swooned at him doused in morning light. When you were finished cooking, you quietly shuffled over to the living room. You didnât know if he mightâve fallen back asleep because it was so dark in the room but he was there nestled up in the corner of the couch watching the tv. He just hadnât been able to manage turning on any lights.
âCan I turn a light on?â You whispered, carrying two plates and waters under your arm. He nodded. So you awkwardly turned them on holding the food. You sat down next to him and put everything down on the coffee table. You tucked your legs into a crossed position and settled back into the big cushion behind you. Trent was ironically quick with his sleepy movement to come and collapse over into your lap. He laid over your legs turning his head to your body away from the tv. He kissed at your bare stomach.
âIâm sorryâ he murmured out against your skin between kisses.
âFor what?â You giggled looking down at him stroking your hand over his head.
âI should be taking care of youâŠâ you could tell in his tone that he genuinely felt really guilty. He liked his sleep. He didnât need to feel bad for that. You wanted him to get some rest. You didnât need him this morning. If you did, you probably wouldnât have wanted to wake him after a match but you mightâve asked.
âItâs okay, Iâm okay.â You promised him continuing to stoke his face.
âThank youâ he said before sitting up right. His hand came to hold your jaw and turned your head towards him. He kissed your lips gently before turning to his plate. He took the first bite and gave a dramatic âmmmmmâ in delight at the taste of his omelet. âHow lucky am I to have you, Ms. Y/L/Nâ you just giggled at how ridiculous he was. It was only eggs. You wiped the side of his mouth with your thumb. You ate your breakfasts together and then snuggled up laying on the couch for the rest of the morning. You gazed up at him and he just looked so comfy. He looked sleepy and happy but also just so at home. You knew he literally was at his home but you felt it was nice to see him so relaxed. You nuzzled up into his chest and laid practically on top of him as he watched sky sports tick on about something happening in La Liga. He was so warm and he smelt so good you felt yourself becoming intoxicated by it, falling into the same state of sleepy relaxation he was in. He rubbed his hands over you slowly and over time his hands found their way underneath your thin tank top.
âYou look good todayâ he cooed as he drowsily kissed you all over.
âJust today?â You cheekily teased. Lifting your head a little to see him not particularly impressed with your joke so early.
âEverydayâ he confirmed anyway with a more substantial peck of his lips on your head. âYou doing okay, beautiful?â He asked, thinking about the passing weeks and early stages of the pregnancy. You just hummed a âmmhmmâ and he was too tired to press for something more. âOur baby is so lucky. Going to have the most beautiful mummy.â Followed by more kisses. You didnât even realize you were falling to sleep but being in his loving embrace had that effect. It probably was from how early you had gotten up but no matter you were out like a light soon after his the last words rang in your head. Trent kept you on his chest stroking his warm hands up your back until he decided to wiggle out from under you to get up. You moaned a little but he just gave you a kiss and tucked you in with a blanket. You curled right up, staying asleep, unconsciously okay with the new arrangement. He picked up the finished plates and brought them back to the kitchen and did the dishes. Trent was really good about pulling his weight with any household things like dishes or laundry. He wasnât the best at them but he did them and you appreciated it. You did them more often just simply out of how much more time you were home compared to him but since the pregnancy heâd been so considerate trying to make sure you didnât have to do anything at home. He sat at the kitchen island on his phone for a little before he trotted back over to you.
âBaby, George asked if I wanted to play FIFA with the lads. Do you care?â He whispered sitting down next to your frame as he stroked your arm laying overtop the blanket. Your eyes were barely able to flutter open.
âWhy are you asking⊠yes?â You groaned confused he was waking you up for this. He laughed mocking your dramatic âyesâ before he got up and left for the cinema with a particularly wet kiss you winced at. When you woke up an hour or so later you scrolled aimlessly on your phone. You got a little notification from an app that your baby was about the size of a plum now. It made your heart flutter. That was so cute to imagine. You couldnât wait to tell Trent but for now you knew he was in the middle of a game with friends. You lounged around until you got an unexpected FaceTime from your best friend, Lauren.
âGuess who's coming to see you!â She squealed
âOh my god! Really?â You echoed her excitement.
âYesss, Iâm flying over in a few weeksâŠâ she began to rant about how excited she was to go out and bang⊠it hit you. You hadnât told Lauren you were pregnant yet. In a few weeks you wondered what size fruit your baby would be by then. You wouldnât be able to go out the way you normally did. You promised youâd tell her first when this happened⊠How were you going to do this? You certainly werenât going to tell your best friend over FaceTime. âCan you come to London?â Her voice cut your train of thought in half. She rattled off the exact dates she was going to be in the UK.
âOh⊠erm, I should be able to. I have to check with T, like whatâs heâs doing orâŠâ you kind of babbled trying to think of you had any appointments or what Trent would think of you going or telling her about the pregnancy so early. There was so much going through your mind. Normally you wouldnât think twice about a trip to see Lauren. âIf he needs me at home. I should be able to. Sorry.â You shook your head at how silly you sounded.
âWowâŠso domestic, it's giving wife.â She joked and you rolled your eyes. She said she could come up to see you if London was difficult for you. She didnât understand why you were being weird but regardless she wanted to see her best friend if she was in the same country. You had to make a plan.
When you hung up the phone, you realized you needed to shower and get off this couch. You could hear Trentâs friend yelling about their game from the cinema as you walked by. You jogged upstairs and hopped in. As you stood under the water watching it cascade over your boobs you became increasingly more aware of your changing hormone levels. The sexual desire you were experiencing in the last few weeks was off the charts. You felt like you were horny all the time. Your nipples were so hard, completely unprovoked. You stared down at your stomach. You didnât really have a bump yet but you felt like you could tell. You felt incredibly needy and desperate to be taken care of. When you stepped out of the shower you didnât really bother with clothes. You were wearing hardly anything when you ran down the stairs directly to the cinema determined to find the boy you knew would take care of you. You stood in the doorway watching Trent playing fifa with all his friends online. You whined his name quietly and sheepishly.
âMates, hold on.â Trent said to his friends. He turned toward you and smiled, unknowing of your plan. You walked over to him casually after he acknowledged you and just sat down on his lap immediately making out with him. He was taken aback but didnât exactly stop you. His hands wrapped around your waist as yours ghosted under his shirt. You were sloppy and eager. He pulled away laughing. âIâm in the middle of a game, baby.â You tried to go in for another kiss, beginning to grind down on his lap subtly. He turned his head away from you with a big smile. âOkay, okay. Câmere.â He couldnât stop laughing at your antics but insistently pulled you into a hug tucking his chin over your shoulder onto your back. You huffed at the rejection but sat on his lap anyways settling for his proximity, time being. Trent ran his hands up your bare back very quickly noting you werenât wearing a bra before he picked up his controller again. He listened to the boys on the line discussing the game they were about to start playing. He pulled back from your embrace quickly to look at your desperate face with his smug one before they began the game.
âArenât you cold? You're not wearing very much, baby.â You shook your head âno.â As much as Trent was committed to playing the game with his friend he wasnât opposed to you sitting on his lap right now. In fact, he was particularly happy with your choice of clothes or lack thereof. He was going to make this as great for him and as hard for you as possible. âSure you're not cold?â You shook your head ânoâ again. âWell, if you're not⊠You might as well not be wearing this at all then, yeah?â You smirked at him, happy with the direction of his words thinking you were getting what you wanted. âYeah, letâs get this off.â He cooed, pulling your shirt off over your head. You sat in front of him completely on display for Trent now. âYou look so good, babyâ he whispered with his hands stroking up your sides, eyes glued to your bare top half. His friends were about to start the fifa match when you wrapped your arms around him pushing your tits against him while rubbing yourself down on his thigh as Trent attempted to pay attention to what everyone was saying about the game. You could feel him getting harder as you cuddled into him, nibbling on his neck. He needed to adjust his dick now so he shuffled in the chair. You pouted at him unhappy with the change. You wanted to whine but you didnât know if his mic was on.
âGeorge, gimme one minute.â Trent barely got the words out. It was hard to think straight with your current state. He muted himself.
âCan you be quiet for me, beautiful?â He looked at you so seriously with lust burning behind his eyes. Your eyes lit up. You zipped over your mouth locking it with your hand. You couldnât wait to see what he was about to do. You felt your mouth water. He pulled his hard cock that was about to start leaking precum out. âWant to sit first or can I start, baby?â
âYou can start. Iâll be a good girl.â You whispered. Trent told his friends he was good to go. He started the game. You wasted no time lining his cock up with your wet entrance. You sank yourself down on his length carefully. The two of you silently gasped feeling him slip between your wet folds inside. You were slow but it wasnât long until he filled you to the hilt. He felt so fucking big and then⊠he didnât move. You panicked coming to realize you were in for it.
âSuch a good girl fâme.â He whispered. You wanted to moan or move. Anything. You were absolutely dripping on him. It felt like ages you were sitting there desperately. You impatiently kissed his neck trying your best to persuade him to do something. Everytime you would take your efforts to far he would tease you more. It was excruciatingly and deliciously painful. The FIFA game clock was counting down. He was gonna be done soon, he knew that, you didnât, so when he began to thrust up into you, you bit his neck harshly in an attempt to muffle the noises you were dying to let out. He hissed at the feeling of your teeth against his skin.
âYou good Trentski?â One of the boys asked, caught off guard by the noise.
âYeah, yeah dropped somethingâ he lied followed by a little snicker.
âAnother game?â Another boy asked when they finished.
âEh sorry, bro, Iâm out. I gotta go ladsâ Trent spoke pulling you off his chest to see you. You smiled deviously at him. âYeah, lads, I gotta go, I'm sorry.â His hands worked up your body to come and tease your nipples. Your mouth dropped into a pleasurable âo.â
âAlright, bro. See you later. Bye, Y/N.â George cooed. He could tell immediately by the change in Trentâs tone and breath. You giggled at George before you gasped when Trent thrusted up once more, turning off his game.
âWhat do you need?â He whispered. His low, raspy voice sent waves of pleasure all over your body. Your body responded to him like it was his⊠in fact, it was his. You didnât respond as you tried to bounce on his cock. He held you still by your hips firmly down on him. âAnswer me, babyâ he demanded.
âCan I ride you, please.â You whined still trying to move against him.
âYeah, beautiful. You can, go on.â He shushed you softly, letting go over your hips running his hands down the curve of your ass. As much as Trent was in control right now he couldnât help but feel a little hypnotized by your body as you began to ride him. You shut your eyes tight with your mouth agape as your tits bounced. The sight was enough to make him cum. You flashed your eyes up to look at him. The look in your eyes made Trent tense. âOh baby, donât give me that face. Iâm not gonna last.â He grunted out. He slapped your ass and you smirked. You moaned at the second. You squeezed your pussy tighter around him feeling him twitch inside you. âFuck baby, squeezing me so tight. You want to cum for me? Let me feel you cum on my cock, baby, please.â He begged. He knew exactly what to do, what to say to get you there.
âAh fuck. T⊠T⊠oh my god. TâŠâ you moaned feeling the tight knot in your stomach snap.
âThere you go. Say my name, beautiful. Tell me who this pussy needed.â Your eyes rolled back. You couldnât do anything but give into your next orgasm building up. The room filled with the sound of your skin slapping. It didnât take long for your pussy to clench around his cock pulling his orgasm from him. He cursed as he filled you. His cum painted your was white. Your sensitive pussy overflowing with both of your juices.
âHoly shit, baby.â You whined. As he stilled inside of you finishing out his high. He collapsed his head into the valley of your boobs when he was done. You thought you were done, until you felt him starting to suck on your nipples.
âCâmon letâs go again, baby. Need you.â Trent muffled into your tits. He picked you up by your ass and held you up aligning your dripping core with his hardening cock. He fucked up into again for a while before you could feel that familiar knot tightening again.
âOh my fucking god, T! Iâm gonna cum. Iâm gonna cum all over your cock, baby!â You moaned, feeling your pussy clench around his pulsing cock.
âThatâs it, baby. Let me make you cum. Let me hear you. Cum on my cock.â Trent groaned as he continued hitting onto your sensitive nipples. You panted overwhelmed with the feeling. âYouâre such a good girl fâme.â His thrusts started to become sloppy feeling his own release approaching. Your legs with a quivering mess, your toes curling at the mind blowing delectation you were experiencing.
You moaned when you felt a second orgasm crash over you. You threw your head back, your dripping pussy clenching deliciously around his cock. His thrusts didnât seize, continuing to drill your pussy with the need to reach his own release
âFuck, Y/N. Iâm gonna cum, baby. Take it fâme. Take it like a good girl.â His orgasm quickly approached. He watched your beautiful face. You were completely in a daze. Your eyes were half lidded looking at him. You were so in love with him. âYouâre mine. Youâre all mine.â Trent groaned as he came for a second time. He stilled exhausted. You collapsed your head onto his shoulder and held onto him. After awhile he pulled your sticky body off his for a moment to pull himself out. He groaned at the sight of his soaked cock. He sat back in his chair admiring his view. You straddled over him sweaty, panting, dripping. You cuddled up to him. You relished in the warmth that was radiating off your naked bodies. This was all he ever needed, you completed his existence.
âYou know what I was thinking?â You giggled while walking to the kitchen for water. You finally were coming back to reality although still completely spent.
âWhatâs that, pretty girl?â Trent said, squeezing your side before sitting on a chair at the kitchen island. He pulled you in between his legs giving you a childish full toothy smile. You began to ramble. He just liked to listen to you. Your voice and accent were comforting. He didnât really care what the topic was. He just wanted to hear what your thoughts were, your opinions, the way your mind worked. He loved hearing you talk and he let you just smiling at your animated face. You giggled and his chest warmed. He wanted the sound to be on loop for him forever. He never wanted you to not be giggling with him. He held you in the kitchen while you babled away completely smitten and enamored by you. You were the only woman he ever wanted.
At the end of the week, you and Trent were attending an event in Manchester. It was a gala for a charity a friend was having. It was massive; a ton of people you didnât know would be there. The second you heard about it you began to worry about hiding your bump. You were keeping the pregnancy quiet for now. Trent wasnât keen on going to the event but he had to. He was really anxious and while you usually would go with him regardless you definitely were going to this one just to hold his hand to make him feel better. He wasnât crazy about big social gatherings. Neither were you but Trent especially hated it. You werenât loving the way you had been looking lately. You felt so uncomfortable in your own skin. It made you apprehensive about the event but if your company made Trent less nervous you were going to be there. You put on a strapless black gown that hugged your figure perfectly but the thickness of the material made it so it wasnât clinging to your growing stomach. It had a high slit on one side that exposed your thigh and gave a glimpse at the pair of heels you were in. You had gotten your nails done earlier in the week and asked Trent what color to get when you couldnât decide. He told you he liked when you got a pink you usually wore. You couldâve made that decision on your own but you liked to have his opinion. As he held your hand in the car on the way to the event that night his fingers stroked over your long nails smiling that his opinion mattered to you. As Trent helped you step out of the car you felt the warmth of the cameraâs lights. The photographers out front snapped away. Trent kept his hand on the small of your back as you walked towards them. His touch always made you feel more secure. He made you comfortable no matter where you went together but especially in these situations where the media was there to cover your every move. He looked down at you and rubbed his thumb over your back. He dropped his hand off your back and came to grab yours. He squeezed it to let you know he was with you. He really thought you were the one helping him but it couldnât have been more opposite. He was the only reason you could manage something like this. You just stared up at him in a daze, just completely and utterly obsessed with him. When you were inside, he introduced you to people he knew through football. He kept you close to him. Despite your anxiety, you were naturally very good with people. They were drawn to you. People often described you to be pretty like a doll, like a model or ballerina. Your slicked back bun tonight really reinforced that imagery. You radiated a glow that had men drooling and women envious. Trent always felt really proud to have you by his side at these events. His big brown eyes watched as you spoke. He loved the sound of your saccharine voice as you spoke to the people you just had met while they rapidly fell in love with you. The way you moved and the way you carried yourself was perfection personified. Like the rest of the room, he was completely captivated by you. Trent was transfixed on you the whole night. The Van Clef necklace Trent gave you when he asked you to be his girlfriend laid over your protruding collarbones illuminated. He smiled everytime it caught the light reminding him you were his. You werenât even sure he knew anyone else was at the event but you. You stood up from your seat to bop to the bathroom quickly. Trent stood up with you worried you werenât feeling well but you assured you simply only had to pee. Happy you were actually okay he sneakily gave your ass a light slap. You rolled your eyes at his cheek. When you walked into the restroom there were 3 girls all at the mirror touching up their makeup so you just smiled before picking a stall. You were almost finished when you overheard them talking.
âDid you see that Trent Alexander-Arnold is here tonight?â They grabbed your attention immediately. You tried to be quiet to listen a little bit closer.
âYeah, I think he was with a girl though⊠is he taken? I honestly donât follow footie but heâs well fitâ One girl responded to the other.
âIâve been DMing with him. I donât care. Fucking on the lowâ You almost audibly gasped. Your mouth hung open. You felt emotions rush behind your eyes. Tears filled your lash line but you blinked a few times trying to focus on listening to what they said next.
âStop⊠no fucking way. You are?â One girl squealed at the otherâs confession. They were freaking out for their friend while you felt like you were going to be sick.
âIn case you were wondering⊠to no surprise the dick is perfect.â That was it. You felt absolutely broken. You didnât know if you were going to pass out, get sick, cry, or maybe all three at once. After a while listening to them gush about one girl being Trentâs sneaky link they left the bathroom. You just stayed put. Trent was starting to get worried where you were. Your phone was buzzing uncontrollably with texts from him. You tried to pull yourself together. You stared in the mirror looking at yourself. What the fuck were you meant to do now. You had always worried about what would happen if things ever fell apart but you had kind of thought you had moved past that possibility until this very moment. You stared at the tears rolling down your face pulling your makeup down with them. What were you supposed to do now that you heard he was cheating on you. You were shaking, gripping onto the bathroom counter. Were you supposed to say something? Were you supposed to go back to the US? Were you supposed to raise the growing baby in your stomach on your own? The tears kept falling. You decided you would pull yourself together, tell Trent you're leaving, get home and stay in a guest room until you figured out if you should stay or not. Your heart felt like it was in a million pieces. You wiped the tears from under your eyes and reapplied your lipstick. Taking a few breaths, you walked out the restroom door eyes fixed on the floor trying your very best to keep the tears from flooding back. That plan fell apart almost immediately when you picked your head up and were met with Trent standing in front of you.
âAre you okay, baby? I was so worried.â He cooed, stepping towards you. You held your hands up in protest. Your eyes began to water.
âYou were worried?!â You shot back at him. His brow furrowed confused by your tone and the look on your face.
âIs it the baby? Is everything okay?â He was genuinely distressed. He didn't like the look you were giving him but he put it aside for the moment concerned about his future child unknowing of the girls you had just encountered.
âNo⊠it was the girl youâve been fucking in the bathroom.â You quipped. His face twisted in confusion. Were you kidding? He obviously wasnât fucking anyone else. He was either with the team or cuddled up to you. He didnât have any interest in other women and frankly he didnât have the time to entertain one.
âWhat the fuck are you on about? Iâm not cheating on you.â He batted back at you incredibly confused and incredibly innocent. You only rolled your eyes, not impressed with his response. Trent was fuming but he was more concerned about your current condition. âYouâre the love of my life. Youâre the mother of my child. Youâre the most beautiful woman in the world. You think Iâm that stupid to fuck this up? That someone else would even have a shot with me when I have you?â He spoke sternly but not aggressively. âI barely even know any people here!â
âI donât know maybe you would, it seems you definitely do know someone. She said youâve been DMing her.â You muttered out, starting to question the truth of the girl in the bathroomâs words seeing Trentâs confusion.
âIâll be happpy to show you my fucking DMs but thatâs insane baby this isnât true and you shouldnât believe that it is. You need to believe me. Who is she⊠where is she?â You sensed his anger seep into his words as he started to question who the fuck was trying to ruin his happy relationship for in an attempt for some clout.
âI donât want to see your DMs.â You quivered out starting to cry. You were too tired to deal with this. Too emotional to try to sort through what you were feeling.
âSheâs lying. Just wanted attention, beautiful, Câmere.â He pulled you into him. He held you tight. âI love you so fucking much. I didnât even know there were other women out in the world anymore. Only you.â He laughed a little and you did in response hearing the sweet sound. âI am never going to hurt you. I never would. Youâre all mine baby and Iâm all yours.â Your heart beat started to slow wrapped in his embrace. You were his from the moment he met you and you shouldâve remembered that.
âCan we just go home?â you whispered. The words were tiny and fragile. Trent pouted seeing your tear stained face. His pout turned into a soft frown when he looked down at you.
âYeah, of course. Iâm sorry, baby. Itâs unfair you always have to deal with this shit.â He cooed, keeping you close to him as you walked. You were on your way out when curiosity got the better of Trent. âSo⊠who am I fucking?â You scanned the room and pointed at the women you had seen in the bathroom. âNot even my type.â He laughed, pressing a kiss to your cheek. You slapped at his chest.
âItâs not funny, T!â You giggled. You knew he felt bad and was using humor to try to lighten the mood. Trent would never cheat on you. You believed him wholeheartedly but when things like this happened it was hard not to feel hurt by hearing girls talk about him like that. He understood but he did nothing but reassure you were the only one. At the end of the day it was you he always came home to. You were his whole world. You were his dream come true.
âYou okay?â Trent whispered as you laid on his chest back at home tucked in your bed. His hands rubbing up and down your bareback under a shirt of his you were wearing.
âRight here? Yeah, I am.â You confirmed that you felt safe in his arms. The night didnât go particularly well but it was all okay now.
âGood, itâs where youâre staying. Not going anywhere, baby.â He whispered as you hid yourself in the nape of his neck. You muttered an âokayâ quietly. Trent held you tight to him engulfing you in his embrace. He hoped you could feel how much he loved you in the way he held you. He hoped you could feel it in the way his arms wrapped you like they were always meant to be right there. âIâm yours forever. Forever and ever, all yoursâ he cooed. You could feel your chest warm as you cuddled a little closer to him. âI mean it, baby. I appreciate you so much, you have no idea. Iâm so sorry about tonight. Itâs so unfair to youâ for a moment, his eyes look a little glassy, swimming in guilt. âI really, really am.â You felt bad that he felt so guilty. He couldnât control what other people said about him. Sure, tonight was not a fun experience but it wasnât so bad now back in his arms. You squeezed him tighter letting him know it was okay. âGonna let go of me tonight?â He laughed at the tightness of your hold.
âNo, never.â You giggled only squeezing him more.
âOkay, goodâ he muffled into your hair with a kiss. You let your senses dull, clinging to him. You absently listened to the rain falling outside comforting you when you were in his steady arms.
âDo you know the baby is the size of a plum now?â You spoke softly to Trent with a quiet giddy giggle. He hummed and pulled your head off his chest and towards him. He pressed his soft lips to yours and you melted. You fell asleep that night not worried about the girl in the bathroom but safe with the boy in your bed.
You sat at Trentâs home match a few days later. You were with Tyler in the seats outside the box. You were freezing. You sniffled brushing your icy red nose. You watched the minutes tick by until the ref blew his whistle for the first half to end. Tyler asked if you wanted anything to drink and you awkwardly declined. He furrowed his brow at you but accepted your answer. You typically drank at matches with Trentâs brothers so it was a little odd. You still hadnât told either of your families, or literally anyone yet and it was becoming more and more difficult. You scrolled on your instagram when Tyler popped inside. You saw a Liverpool fan account had tagged you in a photo sitting in the stands today. It wasnât anything new but you started to worry the general public might deduce you were pregnant before you got the chance to tell everyone on your own terms. The game went on and little shivers ran through your body, down your spine, and all you could do was clench your chattering teeth and dig your nails into the skin of your palms. Heavy rain fell onto the pitch without mercy. You were cold just looking at Trent all wet but to his credit, he looked really really good like that. When the game finished Trent came up to the box as always. You stood waiting in one of his hoodies. It was unreasonably soft and you had stolen it about a day after he got it. Trent didnât mind. He liked to see you in his clothes. You looked so comfy in them pulling the sleeves over your hands almost drowning in the fabric. He came into the box and he looked at you all warm and cozy. He had never wanted to hug you more than he did right now. Seeing you in his clothing sent a tremor of pure warmth through his chest. It started in his heart and spread throughout his entire body. He couldnât bring himself to resist the soft curl of his lips, gazing at you so lovingly. He wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into a kiss. As you left Anfield with him you held his hand walking to the car park. Your anxiety from the instagram post still lingered.
âT⊠You think I should still come to games when my bump starts to show more?I feel like people are already staring.â You cooed looking up at Trent before he went to unlock the car.
âNah, baby. Maybe stop being so beautiful and people will stop staring.â He laughed, not taking your question very seriously. You gave him a knowing look. He walked with you to the passenger side to open the door for you. You silently thanked him and got in. âAlright, alright. I get what youâre saying though. Weâll play it by ear. Okay?â He cooed, coming to sit in the driver's seat before throwing his white Goyard wash kit into the back. You hummed and just smiled looking at him, focusing on reversing out of the parking spot. He was so unfairly pretty doing the most mundane things. The sharpness of his jawline, the pout of his lips, the way his eyes glimmered, all wildly unfair. Trent was exhausted when you got home. He laid dramatically on the bed while you massaged his feet mindlessly sitting at the end. You stopped your hands on his foot and began to work up his leg. He groaned in satisfaction feeling your hands on him. Your horniness lately had been hard to control, you just always wanted him to be naked and this moment was no exception. He looked so good and thatâs when you found yourself with his cock down your throat.
âFuck⊠baby Iâm gonna cum.â He groaned out. You didnât want him to cum like this. You had other plans. So you slowly drew off him and he looked at you wide eyed and desperate. You sat back and proceeded to knead your tits, wrapping them around his cock, Trentâs eyes only widening more. You began your efforts to make him cum all over your tits. You slowly massaged your boobs up and down his cock. Intently squeezing them tightly around him.
âYou like fucking my tits, T?â You moaned as you continued working your tits on his pulsating cock.
âFuck! So so much, baby. Youâre gonna make me cum. Gonna let me cum on your perfect tits, baby?â The sight of your boobs engulfing his cock so snug between them erased nearly every thought in his mind
âCum all over my tits, babyâ With that he stilled as he pumped his cum all over you. He moaned out your name repeatedly. Trentâs head fell back and he laid motionless. His chest rising and falling exasperated.
âJesus, that was so fucking hotâ Trent panted. Attempting to regain control of his breath. His tired gaze shifted to a lustful one. He was trying to wrap his head around the image in front of him. You played with the cum on your chest with your fingers swirling it over your nipples before bringing them to your lips. You climbed over top of him watching his cock spring back to life. He pulled you down into a kiss. He rolled you over on the bed to be in top of you. âWhere do you want my cum now, baby? Hmm?â He cooed caressing your body. You gave him a mischievous smile with heavy eyelids. God, he fucking loved you. His big brown eyes met yours, your breathing getting heavier and heavier. Your nails dug into his back muscles as he slid inside of you. Your back arched off the bed with a gasp. He rocked into you. Trentâs cock stretched you deliciously hitting the spot only he knew. The squelching sound of your skin slapping against each other.
âYou look so fucking good carrying my child, baby.â He grunted looking down at your perfect body. âGonna fill you up. Fill my pussy up with my cum again.â You felt the knot in your stomach about to snap when Trent guided his hand down between your bodies and seamlessly rubbed tight circles on your clit. You moaned out in pleasure.
âThere you go, baby. Cum fâme. Make a fucking mess on my cock.â He commanded you. Only he could make you feel this good. He continued to thrust into you relentlessly when you began to tremble underneath him. âJust like that. There you go.â Your pussy dripping all over him just the way he loved. It wasnât long before he was close to his own release. You had the boy totally whipped, he was obsessed with you and your pussy. He presses his body weight down on you. He buried grunts into your neck before he moved his face closer to yours pulling you in for a messy kiss. Suddenly all at once he came inside you. His cock pulsed, his cum spilling inside of you in thick ropes, he could barely breathe as your pussy squeezed around him more. He gave a few more sloppy thrusts before you both stilled.
âI love you so much.â You panted out of breath before you both went quiet for a little absolutely exhausted. Trent laid down next to you and pulled your limp body back into his. He peppered kisses onto your hair. You cuddled up to him so comfortable, so full, so tired. âMy babyâ you murmured softly against his skin. You kissed his bare chest. âMy sweet, sweet baby.â Trent was so vulnerable with you. He was often so tough and guarded but he loved when you called him things like that. He was more sensitive around you then he led on, you made him soft. He held you tighter, rubbing his hand over your stomach.
âThat I am. All yours.â He cooed with a small smile playing on his lips. His eyes fixed on your stomach. âOur little plum.â He giggled and you pouted at how cute it was. You felt yourself starting to drift off, lulled by the warmth of your bodies, the sound of his slowing heartbeat, and the love you felt. âGet a good sleep, beautiful. I have a surprise for you tomorrowâŠâ

Author's Note: okay, I've come back to bring you all a new virg fic, since you've been living in my inbox, asking for it. hopefully you like it as much as I do.
---
"And this one's for you," Andy says, passing the light green envelope over to Virgil, catching his friend on his way out. "You've got a plus one, make sure you bring that girlfriend of yours you're always talking about."
Virgil nods, a smile on his face as he takes the invite from Andy. The panic fills his head, slowly moving down to his chest as he walks out of the training centre.
Andy's wedding was coming up in a few weeks. The boys have known about it for months, and as much as Andy insisted to Rachel that they don't need actual invites, she still sent them with her husband to be.
The defender finds himself driving home, thinking about how on earth he was going to find someone to join him at this wedding.
See, the thing was, the boys thought he was seeing something. That wasn't a total lie, as he was seeing someone but it ended as quickly as it started. He wasn't sure how to tell his friends that it was over and it spiralled, coming up with random details to tell them every time they asked about this non-existent girlfriend.
He didn't think Andy would go as far as giving him a plus one.
Virgil pulls into the driveway, opening the envelope as he reads the invite.
Celebrating the marriage of Andy Robertson and Rachel Roberts.
Rehearsal Dinner: July 2nd, 2022 at 7pm
Wedding Ceremony: July 3rd, 2022 at 3pm - Evening Reception to follow.
Join us in Faro, Portugal!
The rest of the details were on the back of the card, the invite was white with green accents to match the envelope. Must be their theme, he thinks, making a mental note to see if he has anything green to match.
He gets out of the car, putting the envelope in his pocket when he sees his neighbour, y/n, pulling into her driveway. He waves to her, the woman smiles at him as she pops her trunk open, a million bags waiting to be taken into the house.
"Need some help?" He offers, crossing the lawn to her driveway.
You smile, nodding. "Sure. Thank you, Virgil."
Virgil starts taking the bags out of the trunk, carrying them over to the front door as you unlock it. "I'm surprised you're home so early." He says.
"Keeping tabs on me?"
"No," he shakes his head, cheeks red. "I meant.. I usually see you come in late."
"Closed the clinic early today, we've got a staff party tomorrow, hence.." You gestured to the bags. Virgil nods, helping her carry them into her kitchen.
The two of you were on friendly terms, Virgil often helped you out around the house if you were busy. Despite being a footballer, he tended to take care of the yard work and you stopped by to make sure were in order at his place if he was away for a match or pre season training.
"How about a cup of tea?" You offered and he smiled, "you sure? I don't want to be a bother."
"Not a bother at all, make yourself at home. It's the least I could do to thank you for your help."
"It wasn't much help, I only carried the bags to the kitchen." He chuckles, sitting on a stool by the counter.
You shrugged, "still. It would have taken me like, 12 trips to get all of them, you used your big footballer muscles and did it in one."
Virgil smiles, watching as you filled the kettle with water and took two mugs out of the cupboard across from him; one with little flowers along the rim of it and the other a red mug Liverpool logo on the front.
"Surprised you have that," he says, you drop the teabags into the mug. "What? This?" You nodded to the red mug. "It'd just be wrong not to support the local team." You two laughed, you referred to Liverpool as if it was a rec league team.
You two are there in silence, you leaned on the counter as you stood across from the footballer. The man looked around while you looked at him, counting to yourself quietly. Once Virgil hears your whispers, he looks over at you with furrowed brows.
"What are you counting?"
"Your wrinkles," you say nonchalantly, pointing to his forehead as you count each one. Virgil rolls his eyes playfully, swatting your hand away. "You okay?"
He nods. "Yeah."
"You sure? I mean, you usually can't see the wrinkles on that big forehead on yours. So unless you've aged drastically since I've last seen you, I'd say you're worried about something."
"Is that your official diagnosis, Dr. L/n?"
"Yup," you nodded, smiling at him as you crossed your arms over your chest. "100%, now tell me, what's on your mind?"
"Well," he sighs as he starts. "I was invited to a wedding today."
"And? Is it for an ex or some cousin you hate?"
"No, nothing like that. It's actually Andy, you know, Robbo?"
You nodded, shutting the stove off when the kettle begans whistling. "He finally put a ring on Rachel? Good for them, tell them congratulations for me."
Virgil smiles, "I will."
"Wait, so if it's for Andy, what's the problem? I thought you two were good friends."
Virgil makes a face, wondering if he should really tell you what's bothering him. "We are, I uh.. I need a date for a wedding."
You laughed, "that's what's worrying you? C'mon Virgil, you're a footballer. You're handsome, you're young..ish- regardless, it shouldn't be too hard for you to get a date."
He rolls his eyes at your comment, "yeah well, easier said than done. Especially since I've - never mind."
"Oh no," you turn to face him after pouring the water into the mugs. "You're not going to leave me hanging like that! What, since you've..?
"Since I've been telling the guys I have a girlfriend. That's why Andy gave me a plus one, I really thought he wouldn't do that."
Your brows furrowed, you were beyond confused now. "Okay, you've officially lost me. You're nervous to ask her to be your date? Or - oh my god! Is she a married woman, Virgil?!"
"No!" He laughed, shaking his head at your outrageous suggestion. "I'd never date a married woman, in fact, I'm not dating anyone."
You were getting the milk from the fridge when what he said finally processed. You turn to face the man, "so wait, let me see if I got this right. You've been telling them you're seeing someone but you're not actually seeing anyone?" You say, looking for some clarification. Virgil nods, avoiding your gaze.
"Why would you lie to them?"
"I really didn't mean too! It wasn't a lie in the beginning. I was seeing this girl, she was cool but we didn't want the same things so it just sort of.. ended? They kept asking and I don't know why I didn't want to tell them the truth but I wasn't sure what to say so I played along and now, well, you know where I've ended up."
You sigh, unsure what to tell him. You didn't even think there was advice to help someone who's gotten themselves into such a position.
"That's a messed up thing you're in, dude." You added the milk to his mug, handing him the one with the flowers. Virgil nods, stirring the spoon in the mug.
"Do you have sugar?"
"Mhm hm," you turned, reaching up into the cupboard to get the sugar from the middle shelf.
Virgil watched, admiring you; not only on a surface level but deeper than that. He likes spending time with you, even if it was something as simple as a chat across the lawn. You were beautiful and kind, funny and smart, your humour was witty and you were charming. You could talk yourself out of a crime if need be - you were exactly who he was looking for.
Seems his lies have sent him in your direction; imagine if he hadn't helped you take your bags in today.
You turned to him with the sugar, you could feel him staring at you but he was sitting there, elbow on the counter with his chin resting in the palm of his hand as he smiled at you.
"What?"
"Will you be my date to the wedding?" He asks and you laugh, taking the top off the sugar jar.
"You're not serious."
"I am, what are you doing in 3 weeks?"
"Probably work, but I can't be your date, virgil."
He pouts, much like a child when they're told no. "Why not?"
"How would that work?"
"It's fine, I'll handle everything y/n. You just need to pack your bags and get the time off work. Hotels, flights, everything we need there, I'll take care of."
"Wait, the wedding isn't here?"
"Portugal," he says, doesn't miss the slight raise of your eyebrows.
"I've always said I'd go back to Portugal, even if it's just for a short time."
"See," Virgil says, "it's like my lying led us here, this can be a good thing for both of us. I'll have a girlfriend for the weekend and you get to visit Portugal again."
You can't help but laugh at his justification. "Please," he says, "I'm begging you now. I'll own you big time." His hands clasped together under his chin as he looked at you with big, brown, puppy eyes.
"Like season passes to your box at Anfield big time?" You asked, a raised eyebrow. Virgil laughs, nodding. "Exactly like that."
"You've got a deal then." You tell him, he smiles. "Perfect, I can't thank you enough."
"Mhm hm, now drink your tea before it gets cold."
--
The week of the wedding arrives faster than expected, you had been in prep mode all week; getting your hair and nails done, trying to pack whatever you think you'd need for a wedding.
A celebrity's wedding isn't different from a normal one, is it? Is that what a footballer is? A celebrity ? Can you call it a celebrity wedding- Your thought was interrupted by a knock on the door.
It's Virgil, a big smile on his face despite it being 8am. "Why are you so happy?" You asked upon opening the door.
"Oh, good morning to you too, sunshine. Are you ready to go?" He makes a face, chuckling. He starts carrying your luggage out of the house as you make one last walk through, assuming you had everything and things were in place for the few days you'd be away.
"Yup, all set." You notice he was putting your suitcase into his car. "You're driving?"
"Yeah, I figured it'd be faster than an Uber."
"We've got," you glanced at your phone, "4 hours before our flight."
"I know, it's fine." He waves you off, shutting the trunk before opening the passenger side door for you. You lock up and walk over the lawn to his driveway, getting into the car.
It was a short drive to the airport, the music played quietly and Virgil hummed as he drove. He glances over to see you typing away on your phone. "Who are you texting so early?"
"Playing the possessive boyfriend already, Virgil?" A raised eyebrow as you looked at the man. His cheeks flush red and he shakes his head. "I'm kidding," you rested a hand on his knee. He looks down and you move your hand. "I was just replying to some work stuff, I've never left them for so long."
"It's only 3 days, they'll be fine. Plus, don't they know you're on vacation?"
"Not really," you set the phone on your lap, "I told them I had some family stuff, couldn't exactly explain that Virgil Van Dijk was asking me- no, begging me, to be his fake wedding date."
"Technically," he points a finger at you, "it's a real wedding date, you're just my fake girlfriend."
"Technicalities, Virgil."
He laughs, pulling into the parking lot. The two of you head into the airport and after checking in, the woman sends the two of you down a hallway that seemed like a dead end.
You didn't travel often but you knew this seemed.. sketchy to say the least.
"Where are we going?" You asked Virgil, the man opens the door for you and leads you right onto the tarmac. There's a plane a few feet away and you turn to look at him, dot connecting in your head. "Private?" You asked him another question.
He nods, "figured I'd spoil my girlfriend," he jokes, smiling at you as you two walked over to the plane.
You sat across from Virgil, checking your phone for the millionth time since you've left home. "You know, they won't be able to reach you when we're in the air, I'm sure they'll be fine."
"I know," you switched it off and set it down before the plane took off.
The two of you were eating breakfast, a rather large spread for being in the air and considering the flight was barely 3 hours.
"So," you set the fork down on the plate, "get me the details, who's gonna be at the wedding?"
Virgil takes a sip of his coffee, "well, Andy and Rachel obviously."
"Obviously," you chuckled.
"Thiago, Jordan, Millie, Adam and their wives, Ox and his girlfriend, us and then Trent."
"What, Trent doesn't get a plus one?"
He shrugs, "I don't know, I don't think he's seeing anyone right now. Plus he's in the states, he said he's coming but we have to see."
You nod, the two of you chat a bit more. Virgil updates you on a few matches, how they think they're going to do, what it's like being captain. You tell him how the clinic is doing, how you're liking it so far compared to when you used to work at the hospital. Just small details that might come up in a conversation with his teammates.
Once you landed, Virgil collected your luggage and you were off to the hotel. It was a short walk to the venue from the hotel, the two of you put your stuff away and decided to go for a walk, grabbing a coffee before heading back to the hotel.
The rehearsal dinner was in a few hours, giving you two more than enough time to get ready. "We need to get our story straight," he says to you when you come in from the balcony.
"What story ?"
"Our outfits," he says with total seriousness, "what are you wearing tonight?"
You shook your head with a small smile on your face, taking the two dresses out of the wardrobe to show him; a light blue dress with a halter top, the small white flowers going from the waist to the bottom hem and the other was a burnt orange that was backless.
"I figured the blue was a bit more family friendly, classy enough without being too dressy," you hold it up to yourself to show him. He nods, "yeah, good. It's pretty."
You hung it back in the wardrobe before turning to him. "What are you going to wear?"
"We need to match." He was already searching through his suitcase for the shirt to match your dress. "Do we really need to?" You sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him.
He nods, pulling out the baby blue shirt. "This is close enough, no?"
"Yeah, but why does it look like you've had it rolled up in the bottom of a box for like.. 4 years?" Your brows furrowed as you looked at the state of it. Virgil shakes the shirt, trying to rid it of the permanent wrinkles. "Do you not have an iron, Virgil?"
"I do, but uh, I forgot to iron it."
You shook your head, getting up to search for the iron you knew you saw. You find it in the drawer in the wardrobe, handing it to him. Virgil spreads the shirt on the bed, plugging the iron in before fiddling with the settings. He looks between the iron, the shirt and you, a bit clueless before attempting to iron the shirt.
He works on the sleeve, making it worse than it was before, you watch as he helplessly works at the shirt. You figured maybe you were making him nervous in some weird way so you excused yourself to the bathroom to unpack your makeup and hair stuff.
When you came back, 7 minutes later, he was still working on the same sleeve. Your lips pressed together, arms folded over your chest as you watched.
"What?" He asked, glancing at you.
"You're terrible at that. Do you not know how to iron?"
He sighs, "it's been years since I've had to do it, I usually just get my stuff dry cleaned."
You smiled as you walked over, taking the iron from him and putting him out of his misery. "If I leave you to iron this, you might take the whole 3 hours to finish it. Why don't you go shower or whatever you need to do, I'll do it for you."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, go. Before you ruin the shirt," you shook your head, switching the setting from wool to cotton. You wondered how he ended up on wool to begin with. "Thank you," he smiles, walking into the bathroom.
While he showers, you finish up on his shirt and hang it on a hanger in the wardrobe. You also looked for his pants, ironing the 3 pairs of dress pants he had brought as you didn't know which one he'd be wearing.
Virgil returns to the room post shower, white towel wrapped around him that sat right below his hips, and you had just shut the wardrobe after hanging up his pants. You turn to find him behind you, your eyes fixed on the man; the water dripping down his chest, down to his stomach and it stops at the towel wrapped around his waist.
"You're staring, y/n." He says, you can hear the smirk on his face before your eyes meet his face.
It's not like you've never seen him shirtless before, he used the pool in his yard quite often, not to mention the glimpse of him you catch in the media or what the Liverpool account posts.
Clearing your throat, you blink a few times before speaking. "I uh, I ironed your pants as well, I wasn't sure which ones you were gonna wear so I ironed all of them."
He smiles, "thanks."
You nod, excusing yourself to the bathroom to shower. You shut the door, back pressed to it for a moment before going about your routine. You weren't sure how long you were in there but you had showered, done your hair and you were mid way through your makeup when there was a knock on the door.
"Can I come in?" Virgil calls from the other side of the door. "I need to fix my hair." He says and you open the door for him, concealer all over your face, hair pinned up with the robe wrapped around you.
He smiles when he sees you; you look so.. well, beautiful but there was something else, a domesticity of sorts. The two of you getting ready in the same bathroom, there's some intimate in the way you were seeing each other right now. Moving in silence as you both did your own thing beside one another.
You break the silence, "how did we meet?"
"We're neighbours..?" His eyes meet yours in the mirror, confusion all over his face.
"I mean if they ask, your teammates. What did you tell them?"
"Oh," he says, wrapping the hair tie around his hair. "I told them we met through mutual friends, my friend, Kevin. His wife knows you and we were all at the same party and we hit it off from there."
You hum, finishing up on your makeup. You were searching for your lipstick, "and how long have we been together?" You find the one you were looking for.
"Almost a year. If my math is right, it should be like.. 10 months?"
The lipstick in your hand, you look at Virgil with a shocked look on your face. "You've been lying to them for almost a year? How the hell did you manage that?"
His lips pressed together then he shrugs, which makes you laugh. "Okay," you nod, "almost a year it is." You turn back to the mirror, applying your lipstick.
Virgil watches as you do it, your hands steady while you go over your lips, pressing them together to make the colour even. "What do we think?" You asked, turning to him when you notice he's watching.
"Beautiful," he smiles, "truly."
"So cheesy," you chuckled, walking out of the bathroom to change into your dress.
The two of you head down to the venue a few minutes later, all dressed and ready to meet his teammates at the rehearsal dinner.
Before you walked in, Virgil grabbed your hand which caught you off guard. Your fingers interlocked with his and it took you a moment to realize why he did that; the two of you were a couple, of course.
It was already full in there, most of their family had already arrived and a few friends were scattered through the venue. You see a few of his teammates but Virgil leads you to the front, tapping Andy on the shoulder.
"Virg!" Andy smiles, pulling Virgil into a hug. "You made it," he steps back and sees you next to the man, his grin only widening. "You must be the famous girlfriend we hear about all the time."
"That would be me," you smiled, "I'm y/n, it's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too, this is Rachel, bride to be." He introduces you to his fiancee. You smiled at her, the two of you exchanging niceties.
"It's nice of you to make it, Andy was saying how he was certain Virgil wouldn't be bringing you." Rachel says, her arm interlocked with Andy's.
"Well to be fair, Virg seemed a bit nervous to ask me to come but I wouldn't miss it for the world. I don't think I've said it but congratulations."
Virgil's heart skips a beat, it wasn't out of ordinary that someone called him Virg, but you've never had. You always called him Virgil, so to hear the nickname come out of your mouth, make him rather.. soft.
"It's my fault," Andy starts, "we did tell Virg to bring you around before but he always said you were busy with work. So I think it's fair of me to think you were fake."
You laughed, "I can assure you I'm alive and real, feel free to pinch me to confirm." Andy laughed at your comment, smiling at his teammate in approval of you. Virgil returns the smile.
"Anyways, make yourselves comfortable, we're going to start the rehearsal soon." Rachel tells the two of you, leading Andy off to greet someone else.
Virgil's hand rests on your lower back, the two of you sitting towards the middle of the chairs, watching as they went through the rehearsal. It was mostly family, his teammates were only there so they could all mingle and catch up as they had been on break for a few weeks at this point.
At some point after they were done the run through, Virgil suggested drinks and you followed him to the bar, his hand once again on your lower back.
"Virg!" You hear someone call for him, the two of you turning at the same time to see who was coming his way. Both Jordan and Millie were making their way over to the two of you.
"Hey," Virgil smiles at his teammates. "Guys, this is y/n, my girlfriend. This is Jordan and James."
You smiled at the men, "it's nice to meet you both."
"We thought you weren't coming," Millie says and Jordan follows up with a, "it's nice to meet you, we thought you weren't real."
"That seems to be the general consensus tonight," you laughed.
Ox makes his way over to the bar, seeing his teammate with a woman he's never seen before. "You must be Virgil's girlfriend, I'm Ox." He introduces himself.
"I'm y/n, nice to meet you."
"I can't believe you're actually here."
You turn to Virgil, making a face at him. "Why do all your teammates think I'm not real?"
"He wouldn't show us pictures," Millie says, shrugging. "I guess that's true," you nudged Virgil, "between Virg's practices and games, and then with my work, we barely get time to see each other and when we do, we're not on our phones."
Jordan makes a face, looking between you and Virgil and you instantly know what he's thinking. "No!" You laughed, shaking your head. "That's so not what I meant."
"What is it that you do, y/n?" Ox pipes up.
"I'm a doctor, an OB actually."
"Oh wow," Ox smiles at his teammate. "She's good, you've got good taste, big man. I see why she hasn't been around."
You smile, your phone buzzing in your hand. You excuse yourself, walking away to take the phone call. You can hear the boys talking behind you, you glance over your shoulder and smile at Virgil, the man's heart skipping a beat. Despite you not being his actual girlfriend, it did feel good to get the approval from his teammates.
Virgil hadn't even realized how long he had been chatting with his teammates, he went in search of you and found you just outside, chatting with Julia, the two of you talking about their kids.
"There you are," Virgil says, walking down the steps towards you. You smile at him, "I see you've met Julia." He gives the woman a quick hug before standing beside you.
"Yeah," you smiled at her, "I'm mad at you, you know."
"What for?" His brows furrowed, looking at you. He's wondering what he could have possibly done.
"You've been hiding me from her, Julia and I are best friends now."
The blonde smiles at you, "yes we are. We've already made plans to get lunch when we get back to Liverpool. I can't believe you've never brought her around before, Virgil." She tells him, her voice similar to the one she uses when she scolded her children, and or Thiago, when they misbehave.
"Oh well, I'm sure y/n's told you about her hectic schedule. Blame her, not me. I do hope you two have fun at this lunch." He laughs, his arm over your shoulder.
The rest of the night was quiet, everyone caught up with each other with their summer plans and you met the rest of the players and their partners over the course of the night. Eventually you two decide to call it a night, heading back to the hotel.
You were by the door, taking your heels off when you saw Virgil stop in the middle of the room, in front of the bed.
"What's wrong?" You asked him, walking over. You seem to realize what he's thinking; there's only one bed.
Not like they've taken a bed out of the room while you were gone but you two had been too tired and too busy getting ready for the dinner that neither of you seemed to register that there was in fact, only one bed in the room.
It didn't occur to Virgil when booking the room that you'd need a separate bed, you weren't really a couple after all.
"I'll take the couch," you tell him, not wanting him to feel bad for his slight mess up.
He shook his head, turning to you. "No, it's fine. I'll take the couch, you take the bed."
You glance at the couch next to the window, it was spacious - that's if you were under 5 foot. There's no way he'd sleep comfortably if he did manage to fit on it.
"You know what, we're both adults. We'll sleep together." You tell him, his eyes widening at your words. "Not what I meant," you smack his arm. "We can both fit on the bed comfortably, no need for either of us to suffer on the couch."
"You're sure?" He asks and you nod, "of course, but hands to yourself mister." You pointed a finger to him, making him laugh.
Virgil raises his hands, "I swear I'll be on my best behaviour," he says, watching you walk into the bathroom to get ready for bed.
--
The sun peeks through the curtains, waking you from your sleep. You shut your eyes, trying to get a few more minutes but you can hear the shower running and then shuts off followed by the bathroom door opening. The smell of Virgil's body wash fills the room and you sit up, rubbing your eyes.
"Mornin' sunshine," he smiles at you, sitting on the edge of the bed. You yawn, stretching as you try to wake yourself up. "What time is it?"
"10:27," he looks at the clock, "how about some breakfast?"
"Yes please," you get out of bed, fixing the comforter as you walk to the bathroom. "Lots of coffee please," you smiled at him, shutting the door.
Virgil orders room service while you shower, you return to the room just as it arrives. The two of you sit on the couch, eating breakfast in comfortable silence. Virgil grabs his phone, "Andy sent over some pictures from last night," he shows you a few photos that the groom to be had sent.
"Those are cute, send them to me."
Your phone buzzes on the bed and you look over at the clock, "shit, I've got to do my hair." You set the cup down on the table and walk towards the bathroom. "Do you need the bathroom?"
"No, I'm good." he tells you, "do your thing."
You walk in and walk back out, leaning on the door frame. "What are you wearing today?"
He smiles, "don't worry, I ironed it and put it in the closet."
"Properly?" You asked, walking over to confirm.
"Yes," he shook his head, watching as you took the shirt out to confirm that he did in fact iron it properly. "Wow, good job. Big upgrade from yesterday."
"Watched a YouTube video," he says, making you laugh.
You leave Virgil in the room, off to shower and then to start on your makeup and hair as you weren't 100% sure what look you wanted to do. Virgil left you alone, letting you get ready in peace. He could hear the music playing, your humming accompanying the melody.
He thought to himself that it was something he could get used to, that his house would feel so quiet and empty without you humming.
The line between real and fake seemed to be getting blurred more and more as the time went by.
"Virg?" You called for the man, he got up from his spot on the couch. He had been ready for some time, you still had an hour before you needed to leave. "Yeah?"
"Can you zip me up?"
You stepped out of the bathroom, hair pulled over your shoulder with your dress on. He smiles, nodding as he walks over to you; the sage green dress hugged your body in the right places, it was as if the dress was made for you and only you.
Virgil's hand rests on your waist, the other holds the zipper and gives it a soft tug, pulling it up to the top. The hand holding the zipper now turns into fingers trailing down the curve of your spine, coming to rest on the other side of your hip. "There you go."
Turning around to face him, Virgil's hands remained on your hips. "Thank you," you look up. He nods, "you look.. wow."
You can't help but laugh, straightening his shirt. "You look pretty wow yourself."
Virgil lets go of you when you take a step back, walking to the vanity to put your jewelry on. It takes the two of you half an hour to gather the last minute things you needed, assuring you were ready before heading out for the ceremony.
It's a short walk to the venue, everyone was being ushered into the church to take their seats while the bridal party was lining up to walk in when you two arrived.
The weather was beautiful, the sun was out and the church was full with their families and friends; they couldn't ask for a better start to their wedding day.
The ceremony was short and sweet, Andy and Rachel exchanging vows and promises, everyone was beyond happy for them.
Most of the guests were now outside, the doors to the church open as everyone was heading out.
You stood next to Virgil by the stairs, letting him block the sun from your face as you checked your phone. You hear the footsteps before you hear the voice. "You're actually here, you're real?" The Scouse accent thick, Trent.
"I am real," you looked up, smiling at the man who looks like he's seen better days. "You must be Trent."
"Yeah, it's nice to meet you. Excuse me." He says, covering a yawn with his hand.
Before you two could speak, Andy was calling the two players over for a group photo. You stop Virgil, standing on your tiptoes to reach his collar, his hand on your hip you keep you steady as you fix it before sending him on his way; a small act of intimacy that you'd only find between a couple.
You had been checking your emails, something you knew Virgil would complain about if he caught you doing it yet again. You were so caught up that you hadn't noticed him calling your name. When you do, you look up, making a hand motion as to ask him what he wants. He waved you over, pointing to the spot in front of him. Your brows furrowed, still unsure what he wanted as the dots didn't seem to connect. Virgil realized as much, pointing towards the photographer and then back to the spot in front of him.
Only then did it click what he meant.
You head over, joining the other girlfriends and wives in the photo. Andy and Rachel were front and centre, the rest of you around them.
"Alright everyone, squeeze in a bit more please!" The photographer shouts, showing you all with his hands to move closer to each other.
Virgil moves you from beside him to in front of him, his arm over your shoulder and your hand instinctively reaches up, fingers interlocking with his.
The photographer gives everyone a moment to situate themselves, "perfect, alright everyone look here! Smile!"
A few moments later, you were all allowed to move. Andy and Rachel were off to take some more photos, there was only about 30 minutes before the reception which wasn't too far from the church.
Everyone makes their way over, waiting for the official entrance from Andy and Rachel as Mr and Mrs Robertson for the first time.
You were sat next to Virgil, Jordan and his wife, Rebecca, to the right of Virgil and Thiago and Julia to your left.
Andy and Rachel were having their first dance, the whole venue was quiet as you all watched the two of them, wrapped up in love and giggling as they whispered to each other mid dance.
You wiped the outer corner of your eye, blinking a few times in an attempt to save your makeup. Virgil turns slightly when he hears a small sniffle. He sees your watery eyes, smiling to himself and leans in to whisper to you; "are you crying?"
"Shut up," you whispered back, turning him back around with a small nudge. "Weddings make me emotional."
The evening was quiet, dinner consisted of everyone chatting, Andy and Rachel made the rounds to say hello to everyone who they didn't get a chance to talk to at the church. Eventually they reopened the bar and the dance floor, everyone started making their way around, mingling, drinking and dancing.
You were replying to a message when Virgil came over, two shot glasses in hand. He passes one to you, "to Andy and Rachel," he says, tapping his glass to you. The two of you down the shots, tequila, based on the after taste.
"Okay, let's go dance!"
"I don't dance, Virg."
"It's a wedding, you have to dance!" He takes your phone from you, putting it into his pocket and grabbing your hand. "Virg," you groaned, the man ignores your pleas and takes you to the dance floor, spinning you around.
Before you know it, the two of you are giggling and dancing, his arms over your shoulders as he hugs you from behind, swaying to the music.
"I'm gonna get a drink," you tell him and the man lets you go while nodding before shimmying his way over to Trent, who looks like he was about to fall asleep in his chair. You laughed, leaving Virgil to bother Trent as you walked to the bar.
You had barely made it to the bar when someone shouted for you. "Y/n!" You see Thiago off to the side, "can you take a picture for us?"
"Sure," you take the phone from him, he and Julia standing together, arms wrapped around each other as they smiled, then Thiago kissed her.
Sometimes you wonder what it'd be like if you had a stable and loving relationship like theirs.
"I thought you got lost!" Virgil says, walking towards you. You shook your head, handing the phone back over to Thiago. The Spaniard then turns, passing the phone to Virgil. "Okay now you come in, let him take the picture."
"Are you sure?" You asked, Thiago was already pulling you into the photo.
He nods, you and Julia on either side of him, the 3 of you smiling as Virgil takes the photo, the camera flashing. Thiago steps out, letting you and Julia have some together, his wife telling him something about they have enough pictures of them together. You laughed, the two of you smiling for the camera.
"Do you want one together?" Thiago looks at Virgil, who then looks at you and you shrug, waving him over. Virgil hands his phone to Thiago while Julia replaces him by her husband's side.
Virgil's arm over your shoulder, your arm around his waist, the two of you smiling while Virgil pulls you into his side. "Alright Virg, give your lady a kiss." Thiago says, smiling.
Your 'boyfriend's' cheeks are red, a flush he can blame on the Portuguese heat or the liquor but you know the real reason. "Come on man, what are you waiting for?!" Thiago says, laughing at Virgil's shyness.
"Leave them alone," Julia tells her husband, rolling her eyes at his childishness.
"It's fine," you whisper to Virgil, turning to him a bit. He looks at you, whispering back, "you sure?" You stood close, the air between you two charged with a mixture of tension and anticipation.
"Mhm hm," your hand rests on his chest while he leans down, you tip toe a bit, meeting him half way when he kisses you.
But as your hand found its way to Virgil's cheek and your lips met against each other's, something shifted. What was meant to be a quick moment blossomed into something real, something raw. When you finally pulled away, breathless and flushed, a shared realization dawned upon them.
The kiss may have been staged, but the feelings it stirred within were undeniably genuine.
As you glanced at each other, a silent understanding passed between you and Virgil. This fake relationship may have begun as a charade, but perhaps, just perhaps, it held the promise of something more.
Thiago grinned, "perfect. The picture of love," he says, handing the phone back to Virgil. You smiled, your own cheeks now flushed and red. You reached over, your thumb brushed over his lips to wipe away the lipstick left behind. Virgil's arm wraps around your shoulder, the two of you chatting as you join Thiago and Julia for a round of shots.
The night wrapped up just after midnight, everyone waiting at the front to wish Andy and Rachel well, seeing them off as they left before everyone else headed to wherever home was after that.
Virgil's jacket over your shoulders while you walked back to the hotel. Despite the humidity earlier in the day, there was now a slight chill in the air.
"Did you have a good time?" He asks, opening the door for you. "I did," you walk in, waiting for the elevator to your room. "Thank you for bringing me."
"Thank you for coming, you really saved my ass."
It hits you in the moment that this was in fact, fake. You were doing him a favour, you weren't a couple, you never will be. Just a good friend helping him out in a tough situation.
When you returned to the room, Virgil announced that he's gonna go take a shower while you got ready for bed. The two of you moved in silence, you sat at the vanity taking your makeup off while the sound of the water running filled the room. You had to remind yourself that this wasn't real yet again.
All the feelings felt over the weekend were just for show. Certainly Virgil didn't feel the same way you did.
The steam filled the bathroom, Virgil lets the water run as he stands there. The kiss was real, the moments you shared were real, his feelings for you were real.
How the hell was he used to bring it up without it being awkward?
The shower shut off just as you were about to get into bed. Your phone bus is on the nightstand, and you reach over to grab it. There's a notification from Instagram.
juliavigas tagged you in a post. - 2mins ago.
You opened it, checking to see what she posted. There's a few photos from the wedding. Some of her and Thiago, the venue, one of you and her, as well as the one with you, her and Thiago. She also included the one in front of the church, Virgil's arm wrapped around you as you all smiled.
Virgil finds his way to the bed, sitting next to you. "What's so interesting?"
"Julia posted some pictures," you show your phone, letting him scroll through the pictures. "I guess everyone will think we're together now." He looks at the one in front of the church before handing the phone back to you.
"Wasn't that the whole point?" You ask, setting your phone on the nightstand.
"I guess so," he shrugs, the two of you sitting there in silence, the tv playing quietly in the background. There's a million thoughts going through his head at this very moment.
As he looked over at you, in the soft glow of the bedside lamp, Virgil couldn't help but admire your beauty, the way your eyes sparkled with a warmth that mirrored a flickering flame. It was in shared moments like these that he felt a pull, a force pulling him closer, urging him to take that leap of faith. But as the silence went on, Virgil felt the weight of his hesitation, suffocating him with its embrace.
How could he confess his feelings when the fear of rejection spun around in his mind, an unwelcome shadow over his every thought?
He glances at you once more, your eyes meeting in a brief exchange, Virgil felt a sense of longing wash over him, a wave of emotion threatening to consume him whole.
Still, the words remained unspoken, trapped behind the barricade of his uncertainty.
He had to take the leap of faith, he wouldn't know if he didn't try.
"What are we?" He blurts out, breaking the silence.
You turn, looking at him with a confused expression. "What are.. what do you mean?"
"Well.. we.. we kissed, so like, are we.. what are we?"
"We're not in high school, Virg. A kiss is a kiss, no?"
His smile fades, your heart breaking the moment you see that. He nods, turning his attention back to the tv. "Yeah, no. Of course."
"I'm kidding," your hand rests over his on the bed, "if you're asking me if I like.. if I like you, then I'll only answer if you put it into a note, like high school." You raised your eyebrows, making him chuckle.
"Yeah, okay." He nods. The topic was dropped, the tension lifting slightly.
--
The next morning, you and Virgil leave bright and early, heading to the airport for your flight back to England. The plane had barely taken off and you were still not fully awake, nursing your coffee as Virgil's fingers drummed on his knee.
"Dude," you groaned, "I have a headache, it sounds like you're playing a gong right now."
He stops tapping on his leg, brows furrowed and lips twisted in a weird expression. "Can you play a gong? Is that what it is?"
"I don't know, you know what I mean." You tell him, leaning your head back, eyes shut. You barely got all but 3 minutes of silence before Virgil speaks up again. "Do you have a pen?"
You open your eyes, reaching over to dig through your purse next to you before fishing out a pen and handing it to him. You watch him as he uncaps it, scribbling something down on the napkin in front of him, sliding it over the table to you with the pen.
'Do you like me? Check yes or no.' The two little boxes labeled yes and no under his question.
You smile, shaking your head at his childishness and the fact that he took what you said seriously. You picked up the pen, checking a box and sliding it over to him.
The yes was checked, Virgil glances at you with a cheeky smile before picking up the pen, flipping over the napkin and writing something else before sliding it back to you.
'Will you be my girlfriend?' the same yes and no boxes drawn under the question.
Your answer was yes but you wouldn't give into him so quickly. You picked up the pen, chin in the palm of your head thinking as if it was the hardest question of your life. You can see Virgil shifting nervously in his seat, and it's as if you can hear him overthinking his decision to ask you.
To put him out of his misery, you check a box and slide it back over to him.
There's a sigh of relief when he sees you've checked yes. You toss the pen at him playfully, shaking your head. "You're so cheesy."
"You said to ask it in a note!" He says, folding the napkin and putting it into his pocket.
"I didn't think you'd actually do it!" You laughed, the man shook his head and unbuckled, leaving over the table. His hands cupping your face, smiling at you before he kisses you.
Your hand interlocked with his, stretched over the table when he sat back down. "How about when we get back, I take you on an actual date?"
Your thumb brushes over his hand. "Not sick of me yet?"
"Could never get sick of you, y/n."

ONE SHOT : LATE NIGHT
PAIRING : Virgil Van Dijk x Black Reader
This one shot happens in the Why can't you see me universe, but you still can read the one shot without reading the series.- Masterlist
SUMMARY : Reader has planned a girls night out. She promised Virgil to come back home at a certain time. What happens when she doesn't keep her promises?
WARNINGS : Angst, fluff and sexual innuendos. - Words : 4k
(English is not my first language so feel free me to correct me so I can improve it next time).
Writing takes a lot of time, if you enjoyed, please reblog, comment and interact. It always mean a lot. I was in the mood for angst so there you go. Please tell me what you think of it.
The brush rubbed against your skin while you applied the pink blush to your cheeks. One of the latest steps in your makeup routine for nights out. Tonight, you will spend some time with the girls. They insisted on a girl's night out. Every single one of you needed fun in their lives at the moment. A good dinner and an after-dinner at the bar with Kelsey and Jordyn were your perfect definition of fun. Laughs, good conversations, and goofiness are guaranteed.
The final focus of your makeup was the lips. The tip of the purple lip liner gently touched your lips as your hand slowly traced the contour. Megan Thee Stallion played in the background, unconsciously forcing some lyrics out of your mouth. The idea of messing up your lip contour discourages your body from shaking your behind. You wanted to be ready before the girls called. You refused to miss the special reservation you made at one of the trendiest Manchester restaurants.
The lip contour was almost complete when a sudden slap on the behind made you jump, lightly ruining your final touch. You gasped loudly, reaching out for a tissue to clean up the excess that went above your lips. At this point, the gesture should not surprise you anymore. Virgil has not stopped doing it since you said yes to him.
"Virgil! You almost ruined my makeup." The tall man stood by your side, taking his time to admire you.
âAlmost. Nothing happened. You can relax." You gave him a death glare, finally finishing your lip contour.
"You donât have to smack it every day, and not that hard, Virg."
âCome on, donât act like you donât enjoy it.â
âWell, not when I'm doing my makeup or washing the dishes.â You implied, reminding him of how his random slap cost you a porcelain plate.
âI promised to buy you a whole new set for forgiveness. Whereâs the problem?â
âMaybe you wouldnât have to blow money on porcelain tableware if you could keep your hands to yourself.â He smirkedâthe famous half-smirk that hides his playful side. Virgil looks you up and down, not particularly paying attention to your latest words.
"You're so fucking sexy. Are you sure you want to go out? We could spend a night in."
"Virg, don't start. You know I canât skip girls night.â
"I know, but that dress is not helping." He whispered while biting his bottom lip. The way his voice deepened heated your entire body. Without realising it, your eyes lay on his. With no surprise, they were full of lust. If you weren't careful enough, you would end up moaning somewhere in the house, ruining your girls night.
At this point, it's a miracle that you never got pregnant. The marriage only intensified the lust you both shared before. Unless you were too tired or arguing, you were usually going at it. The room didn't really matter. Since you moved into your new home, every single room, except the toilets, has witnessed naughty moments. Depending on the occasion, some could even be referred to as nasty.
âIâm not ruining my makeup or hair.â
"If I eat you out, you won't have to ruin anything." You gave him a dark stare before applying your setting spray. Sure, your body enjoyed the idea, but you needed to resist. You had not spent one hour doing your makeup to ruin it with tears of pleasure.
"Why are you putting spray on your face?" You giggled while shaking your head.
"It's a setting spray to keep the makeup intact." Virgil took the small spray bottle, examining it curiously.
"Why do you worry about ruining your makeup then?"
"It doesn't stop tears, Virgil. Itâs not a miraculous spray.â Virgil shook his head with a provocative facial expression.
âItâs useless then. What if it rains? Your markup should still be intact. Anyway, women and their million products." He shrugged.
You ignored him since you knew how teasing he could be. How he loved to take digs at you. Meganâs discography still played in the background as you grabbed your phone to record a short video. The outfit and makeup definitely deserved some shots. As you walked in the direction of the dressing room, Virgil grabbed your waist, forcing you to stay longer in the bathroom.
"My wife is really sexy tonight." He whispered before placing a delicate kiss on your neck and collarbone.
"Virgil!" He lightly added pressure to your waist, pushing you more onto him, until the space between your bodies no longer existed.
If you were honest, his confidence turned you on. You loved how he always wanted to kiss you or get in bed before you went out. He has never been jealous or insecure about your outfits or nights out. Instead, he always made sure you knew how good you looked.
His secret manner to remind you that you had a loving husband waiting for you at home. Virgil trusted you with his entire soul and body. He knew you were not the cheating type. Still, he always felt the need to show you love, appreciation, and affection before you went out.
"Come on, the girls aren't here. We can do something in 5 minutes."
"Virg, babe." He leaned again to kiss the sensitive spot between your neck and ear. His hands slowly made their way to your behind.
âHow about we take our time tomorrow, babe? Iâm going to need more than five minutes, and you know it.â You whispered in a seductive tone while resting your hands on his chest. He grinned with wandering eyes. The man really took his time to admire every inch of your body.
âOkay, tomorrow. Iâll be patient then. When are you coming back home?â He gently asked.
âHum, probably 1:00 or 2:00 am. Donât wait for me.â
âI canât even If I wanted to. I have a photoshoot tomorrow morning.â You wrapped your arms around his neck.
âYeah, you need to look fresh.â You replied with a smile before kissing his cheek, purposefully leaving your lip print on his cheek.
âIf you werenât my wife, Iâd be pissed. I hate lipgloss.â
âYou can clean your face, drama king. Itâs not that deep.â You teasingly replied before the phone vibrations interrupted the conversation.
Your arms and body unwillingly abandoned Virgilâs to pick up the phone. The girls were finally there. The time to go has finally come. Virgil gave you a fake puppy look. âTell me they cancelled.â
âSorry, Virg. Theyâre waiting for me. Also, you have me all the time. Learn how to share, selfish.â You joked before tenderly pecking his lips.
âHave fun, Koala. Be careful, too. If thereâs anything, you can call me.â
"Thanks, babe. Good night!â You replied while picking up your coat and bag and leaving your home.
****
The silk sheets gently caressed your skin, contrasting with the pain your banging head caused you. At the moment, you regretted drinking in the restaurant while knowing that you would pursue your night at the bar. The excessive drinking was the reason for your headache and nausea. Your eyelid slowly opened, meeting with the daylight that curtains could barely contain. Despite the cloudy weather, you could tell that you slept way past midday.
You turned around in bed, gathering some strength for a warm shower and a hot cup of tea. Each step you took towards the bathroom felt like an ordeal. With each move, your head banged harder, making you regret the numerous drinks at the bar. Next time, you will avoid drinking at the restaurant if the night ends up in a bar.
The warm water helped your muscles relax but did not cure the migraine. You comfortably stole Virgilâs black hoodie while making your way to the kitchen. A hoodie, a panties and socks. The perfect attire to go back to sleep. You could not wait for your husband to come back home. In the meantime, you relied on the smell of his sweat for additional comfort.
Although you are not the biggest fan of pills, this time you will not have the choice. You calmly sat down in the kitchen, letting the warm red berry liquid flow down your throat. If Virgil were near you, he would have sermonised you for taking a pill with an empty stomach. However, the nausea was determined to guilt-trip you for neglecting your limits.
When Virgil entered the kitchen, you barely realised it due to dizziness and tiredness. The simple sight of your husband made you smile. His skin was glowing as his hair rested in his usual slick, low bun. âHey, babe.â You greeted him, only to be met with a dry âHey.â
âHum. Did something go wrong with the photoshoot?â He opened the fridge and extracted a bottle of water, drinking it slowly.
âNo. Everything went well.â The distance in his voice made you doubt. Virgil was very chill, relaxed, and in a good mood most of the time. Therefore, it is hard for you to understand where the sudden coldness came from. Unless alcohol played games with your memory, you were unable to remember a fight or tension.
âVirg, are you sure? You can tell me anything.â Before he could even open his mouth, your intuition screamed that a fight was waiting around the corner. In months of marriage, Virgil never greeted you without a peck on the lips or forehead.
The good nights or good mornings rarely came with simple words. Virgil never missed an occasion to show you how much he appreciated you. Even in the most routine habits.
âWell, it has nothing to do with the photoshoot. More with the fact that my wife crossed a boundary.â Your heart jumped, wondering what you had done once back home. With the amount of alcohol you consumed, you did not trust your brain.
âHave I done something I donât remember?â
âYeah, you came back home at 4:00 am without communicating. What did we agree on?â You closed your eyes, remembering how you promised to always inform one another in case you planned to come home later.
As a heavy sleeper, you assumed that Virgil would probably not touch his phone before his alarm forced him out of sleep. The only reason why you preferred not to bother with typing a text.
âI know, but you were asleep. You wouldnât see the message.â
âSo just because I canât see it, you just randomly come home like that?â
âVirgil.â You whispered, hoping to ease the growing tension.
âNo, we agreed on clear boundaries. I donât understand why you choose to disregard them anyway.â
âI did nothing wrong. I just stayed until the bar closed. Thatâs it.â
âBut you could have texted me, tho.â He immediately replied, determined to make his point.
âVirg, I was drunk.â
âIs that your excuse? What if we turned the tables? Iâm out with the guys. I plan to come home around 1:00 or 2:00, only to get there at 4:00. How would you react? I know you.â The calm yet stern tone pushes those images into your head, even the feelings. You would have been pissed and eventually started a fight in the morning.
âI know that it wasnât the best decision, but Iâve been honest. I had no attention to disregard boundaries. I was just drunk. Nobody is making the best decision in that state.â Virgil stayed silent, clearly waiting for an apology.
Normally, you would have understood him, but for some reason, his attitude gradually got on your nerves. That, combined with the banging headache, predicted nothing good.
âYeah, you always have an excuse.â
âAlways? Really?â Now, your tone has changed. âalwaysâ was unnecessary, not when you rarely crossed any established boundaries.
âWhy do you act as if I do that all the time? It happened once. Donât act as if I do so every single week. I might be wrong, but stop giving me an attitude.â The slight shake in your voice at the end of the sentence betrayed a growing anger. Anyone who walked in and heard the conversation would notice the efforts you were making to keep calm.
âWell, you did that before we got married, remember? This isnât the first time. At least last time you didnât come up with lame excuses.â You opened your mouth to respond but chose to stop mid-sentence. If the words flowed out of your mouth, you would be in for a long day.
The second action was the alarm signalling you to leave the room before a small dispute turns into a bigger thing. You had enough, you were not in a mood to keep up with his behaviour.
The way he carelessly scrolled on his phone as if you did not exist irked you to the highest level. Multiple years of friendship, couple years of relationship, and several months in marriage were not enough to stop the frustration when it came to his attitude after a fight.
âVirg, you know what? My head is killing me right now. Iâm not doing it.â If you keep pushing, the fight will last for days. You had your mouth, and he had his. Things could quickly escalate between you, even if it rarely happens. The two of you hated fights, but you also had the ability to push that aside when necessary.
âWell, could have avoided it if you just sent a text.â Of course, Virgil would not let it go. He was that kind. A very chill person with a sharpened mouth and attitude. A personality trait that you hated as much as you loved.
âIâm going back to bed. Maybe itâll give you time to drop the attitude.â You spat while rushing to the bedroom as the side effects of the pills started. The need to sleep and the dizziness could only be solved with a good nap.
****
The silk sheets caressed your naked legs, gradually bringing your brain and mind back to reality. When the headache no longer bothered you, your mind replaced it. Words, images, and feelings of the earlier dispute replayed in your head. A part of you wanted to apologise, while the other really wanted to give him the same attitude he had displayed. You passed a hand on your face, hoping to clear your thoughts and make a decision.
Deep inside, you knew the answer. It would be foolish to waste one of your rarest chill nights at home for a fight that clearly was not outrageous. Football ruling your marital life was nothing new, but these last few weeks have been difficult. Virgil, as the captain, had more responsibilities, more interviews, and more press. There was always something to do and a only few days off. However, you rarely complained about those aspects of your life because you knew what you signed up for.
The slight heart jump screamed at the mere idea of spending the night without talking to him, joking, or picking an activity for the night. Each day of the previous week felt like a burden as you craved spending some free time with your husband. You rubbed your eyes as the other part of you fought for her position. You needed to do something about his attitude.
The grey socks on your feet and his Nike hoodie brought you a sort of comfort as you prepared for a serious conversation with him. Giving him the silence treatment or ignoring him is not going to help or open the door for communication. It might even create the complete opposite.
Virgil peacefully sat on the sofa with a PS5 controller in his hands. He looked very focused on the football game on the large TV screen. Despite your frustration, your eyes scanned every detail of his face, posture, and hands. He sat on the sofa with spread legs while his large hands applied pressure to the various buttons. The best part was definitely his hair. You could never get tired of seeing his beautiful curls. Often hid in a low bun. Focused Virgil was definitely one of your favorites. The man was definitely fine.
The burning desire was back at the worst time. It has been a week without any intimate moments, and you were not completely willing to miss the opportunity tonight. Confidently, you walked into the living room, sitting a few metres away from him. The man did not move or say a word. You could not tell if he tried to ignore you or just did not feel your presence. With the perfume you had on, the first option sounded more realistic.
âVirg.â
âYeah? What can I do for you?â The attitude was still there, which made you roll your eyes. Each time you were fighting, he would never miss the occasion to pronounce that sentence.
âDrop the attitude so we can have a real conversation and not waste one of the fewest nights we have.â You firmly replied, using one of your most serious tones to transmit the right message.
This time, he turned his head around to stare at you. By the sound of your voice he knew how serious you were. Virgil liked to tease but knew where to stop. Some lines could not be crossed. Disrespect and lack of consideration are two of them.
âIâm playing online. Let me just finish this game.â You nodded and jumped on this opportunity to make some tea. The fight did not matter, if you get a cup, he does. You knew how much he loved drinking tea at night to relax his body and help with digestion. Five minutes later, you were back in the room with two cups of tea in your hand. Without saying a word, you placed his cup on the table and sat down. Virgil groaned at the final game result, losing the online game due to a last-minute goal from the opponent. He cursed in Dutch before turning the TV off.
âI made you some tea.â The tone was still distant.
âThanks, koala.â His hands grabbed the tea cup. Raising it in your direction, thanking you.
âI thought it would help us relax.â
âIâm cool.â
âYouâre cool and still give me an attitude, really?â Virgil stayed quiet, sipping on his tea as his eyes intensely looked at you.
âIâm not giving you an attitude. I just didnât like your behavior." He calmly replied.
âI do have my wrongs, but the comment about me always crossing boundaries really got on my nerves.â
âThis isnât what I said. I said that at least last time you didnât come with lame excuses.â
âWell, this comment was unnecessary, but the âyou always have excusesâ was also not needed. The general attitude just got on my nerves.â You paused for a moment, letting the words sink in. In front of you, Virgil calmly nodded with a grimace.
âIf you had brought it differently, I would have immediately apologized. Iâm grown enough to recognise when I make mistakes. Itâs just your attitude that threw me off. I thought you were a bit harsh.â Virgil cleared his throat.
âI wasnât harsh. Sure, I was pissed, but it was just me speaking my mind. I just don't think you realise how it irked me. We had this conversation once, then talked about it again months ago. Yet, youâre still doing it. I felt disrespected.â He explained with a vibrant frustration in his voice.
âDo you really think that giving me an attitude would solve the problem?â
âI got an attitude because you tried to minimise the issue.â You shook your head at his explanations.
âNo, Virgil. You had an attitude the second you walked inside. You were pissed before.â
âI was and had every reason to.â He insisted, forcing you to look away. That conversation promised to be unpleasing, and that was the case.
âOkay, but you didnât give me a chance to explain myself. Thatâs not fair, Virg.â He rubbed his goatee while thinking about the words exchanged this morning.
"Yeah, and I was right to do so. Look at the excuses you came up with. You literally tried to justify your behaviour with alcohol and my sleep. I hate when we fight, but Iâll do so when boundaries are crossed.â You bit your tongue, trying your best to not aggravate the situation.Â
âVirg, I do have my wrongs. Still, it doesnât mean that you can give me an attitude. Itâs not going to solve anything.â Virgil rolled his eyes at you.
âYouâre the one who gave an attitude.â He responded with a strong will to control the tone of his voice. âY/N, youâre the one who tried to brush the problem off. Nobody is mad that you stayed at the bar until 4:00 a.m. You just could have texted. Thatâs all I said. I became harsh because of your responses. It bothered me. If you had just admitted your wrongs and apologised, we wouldnât be here.â The coldness in his tone gradually brought out the petty side of you.
âI would have apologised if you had brought it without the attitude and tone.â Virgil rubbed his face with a groan.
âReally? Thatâs all you can say? Youâre being childish right now. Itâs insane.â
âYes, itâs always my fault, Virgil. I always cross boundaries and find excuses.â Virgil clenched his jaw, placing the cup on the table.
âIâd rather call you out now because I donât want you to cross more boundaries thinking that alcohol will save you. Youâre smarter than that.â
âOh, so youâre literally thinking that I did that on purpose? Why are you bringing up the possibility of me crossing more boundaries? It sounds like next time Iâm going to cheat and try to justify it with alcohol.â You finally exploded, letting the anger express itself in your voice.
âHey! Youâre going too far. I never said or thought about that.â He replied with a calmer tone. Deep inside, he knew he had pushed your buttons a bit too much.
A heavy silence followed, making you realise that the communication had not been the best. The lack of communication made you both feel disrespected, unheard, and misunderstood. Virgil put an end to that silence. âI was annoyed, Koala. My intentions were never to hurt you or make you feel bad. If I did, Iâm sorry. Of course, youâre not always crossing boundaries. If that were the case, you wouldnât be my wife. I should have communicated better.â He sincerely recognised.
The cold stare and silence you gave him only motivated him to reconcile with you. âWe established clear boundaries. Iâd like you to respect them. Iâd never tell you anything if you sent me a text. Iâm not the jealous type, and you know it. Iâm just very protective, and I feel like itâs normal for me to know where my wife is and when sheâs coming back home. When you donât communicate, Iâm worried, thinking that something happened to you.â Virgil admitted.
The honesty and care made your heart jump. Of course, his protectiveness would cause such a reaction. However, you were still mad at him for implying that you would purposefully cross boundaries.
âYouâre right, Virg. We already had that conversation plenty of times, and I should have known better. The comments and the attitude both troubled me. These last few weeks have been hard for me. I just wanted some affection from my husband. Your distance and coldness hurt me. The headache didn't help either. If you had just been open like you were this morning, I would have apologized." You explained placing your empty tea cup on the table.
âI understand your frustration, but I didnât fully listen to you. I tried to brush it off because I wanted to avoid a fight. Iâm sorry, babe. Itâs supposed to be our chill night, and I refuse to ruin it. We already donât spend enough time together.â Virgil nodded with a smile. The clenched jaw was long gone.Â
âApologies accepted. Iâm glad we had that open conversation, but I must say. Koala, itâs been two times. I really hope we wonât have the same issue again. If you canât make it on time or want to stay out longer, just text me. Thereâs no problem.â You happily nod while climbing on him. Your arms tightly wrapped around him for a comfort hug. His hands tenderly rubbed your back, enjoying the kisses on his cheek.
You could feel his entire body relax under your embrace. His touch and smell felt familiarâa sort of comfort place where to find joy when life became too heavy. The two of you stayed still, refusing to interrupt that moment or split from one another.
âMy dressing will be empty soon if you keep stealing my stuff, Koala." You silently laughed.
âIt feels comfortable, and it has your smell on it.â Virgil simply smirked. The soft tone of your voice was enough to convince him.
âI hate fighting with you.â
âWeâre two, Koala." He answered right before kissing your cheek.
"What are we doing tonight? Movies, video games, board games?"Â
âHow about we turn on the fireplace, make love, and have deep conversations right after?â
âSounds perfect to me, Koala, but something is missing.â You patiently waited for his suggestion.
âYou forgot food and drinks.â This time, a genuine laugh erupted before you rolled your eyes.
âVirg, youâre something else. come on. You can only drink water and eat fruits or veggies.â
âWell, thank God, I have a very creative wife when it comes to food.â You rolled your eyes at him, refraining from the giggle that your body wanted to expel.
âI'll take care of the music and fire.â He suggested convincing you to handle the food and drink part.
âDeal.â You finally agreed, which made your husband smile and kiss your forehead.
The previous tension vanished, replaced with enthusiasm and excitement to spend quality time together. The promises of a fun, intimate, deep, and joyful night. One more to add to your list of memories.
