Chapter 18 NOTHING WILL BE LIKE BEFORE
Raúl
In my car, the melody and lyrics of “Nothing will ever be the same again” take over the space, and my mind. It’s a simple lyric that speaks of change. I drive and think about everything that has happened in the last few years, how many changes have taken place in my life, it seems like everything is always changing, and as the song says, nothing will ever be the same, nothing. I cross the city to get to the Training Center, I don’t really know what to expect, and after the conversation with my mother, who surprisingly confessed to me knowing how I felt about Alana, I received a call from Tomás, who had received some calls from teammates, who were saying countless things, and I’m already getting nervous, I don’t know what will happen to me.
When I arrive at the entrance to the CT, many journalists approach me before accessing the parking lot. I can already imagine why. I can park, and thanks to Díos, none of them are allowed to enter that space. I put my feet in the locker room, change my clothes and then leave. While I was there I didn’t find anyone, and I headed towards the field. Some players warm up. I walk towards one of the physical trainers to find out what kind of warm-up I’m doing, but when I hear someone call me, I look back.
– Hey man, how are you? I’m on your side, and in your place, I’d give Pedro the biggest beating! says Diego, who then taps my shoulder.
– Thanks, by force!
The players are arriving, warming up, and our coach finally appears. He sets the coordinates, and shows what he wants, how everyone should position themselves. The training was very exhausting, after all it was the last one before “El Gran Clasico” and nothing could go wrong. We had to beat Clube Atlético de Catalunya to reach the table, they lead the championship, and when that happens… It bothers the fans. After all, no Desportivo fan likes to see a team to be behind the biggest rival in the table. At the end of training, what I expected happens, Aguirre comes to talk to me.
– Raúl… I need to talk to you. Come, let’s go to the other side of the field. He says, and I follow him. On the other side of the field, there is a gate that allows access to a small grandstand, where the name of the club can be seen from afar. He sits down, and slams his hand on a bench to sit me down. His serious look, and his graying hair make the situation even more serious, until he decides to say what I hope to hear.
– I think you already know what I need to talk to you about, don’t you?
– Know…
– We already talked about this after that episode at the club’s gym, but I’ll reinforce it once again, I’m not going to give you punishment, you weren’t in training hours, and it was outside the club…
– Sir, I would like to clarify that everything he’s been talking about, involving my friends, is nothing but a lie!
– Raúl, don’t worry, I’ve only known you for a short time, but I received a lot of recommendations about you, many people spoke well of you, and your former club mate just showed with an attitude like this, that he’s not ready to play here. , or any team in the world. Focus on your career, I see immense potential in you, a champion potential.

After the conversation I had with Aguirre, I felt more confident, his words were refreshing, and he gave me a lot of advice. But now I need to resolve an issue, talk to Alana, see her, smell her, and I also have something to clarify with her brother, because while I was training, they both called me, and I only saw this after I returned to the locker room, so it is necessary to undo this misunderstanding, he was already angry with me, after all this history, what must he be feeling?
Alana
I spent the whole night tossing and turning, all I thought about was Raúl, the kisses, the touch of his hands on my body, his beard prickling my skin. It was hard to sleep, I’m still dying of laziness, and without much courage to get up. But someone, or rather some animal, knocks on the door, wanting to knock it down. I get up like a beast, and I want to kill this person, I open the door and I find who I least wanted to meet at that moment.
– Finally you opened the door! – Dani said ironically, entering my room for good, without any permission to do so.
– What do you want? Did you break down the door?
– I warned you that Raúl is not the same anymore…
– What happened? Because you are saying that?
– I just got some calls from the press, and my manager also called me to find out what this story is, that Raúl is getting involved with you to navigate my fame?
– That’s a lie! A very blatant lie, Raúl would never act like that, and you know it, it’s Pedro’s invention!This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
– It was Pedro who said that to the press, but… – I look at him with such anger, he knows Raúl, they are childhood friends, and now he’s doubting his friend?
– There is no But! I was with Raúl when he hit Pedro, everything he’s been doing is to damage our friend’s image! – He listens to me, but it’s no use, he keeps talking a lot of nonsense about Raúl. I’ve never felt so angry with Dani, I can’t look at him, I simply invite him to leave my room.
[…]
The day goes by so fast when you’re on vacation, the hours fly by, and when I look at the clock, the day is gone. I’m in my room, lying on my bed, trying to read a book, it’s hard after all these events. I didn’t see Dani again after he left my room, he probably went to training. I called Raúl, but he didn’t answer me, I think he was also in training. I called my friends, but they couldn’t answer me either, Edu was working at her mom’s store, and Babi went out with hers, and it was probably another audition, does she really believe her daughter will be a model?
I try to concentrate while reading the book, but someone knocks on the door. I get up and walk to the door, practically dragging myself. I turn the knob, open it and face those green eyes, which seem to shine even brighter when they see me. I’m dizzy without a reaction, my heart is wanting to go out of my mouth, he approaches me, closes the distance between us, takes his hand to my waist, and the other to my hair, stroking it, and I manage to babble a little. thing, after feeling him so close to me.
– I… – After that nothing else came out, he takes possession of my mouth in such an intense way.
Raúl
I don’t let her say anything. After taking a quick look at her body, covered in a black tank top, and a pair of very short jeans, which leaves her legs totally exposed. I pull her against me, I want her mouth on mine, to taste her, to smell her, I need this kiss urgently. I squeeze her waist, pressing her body even closer to mine. I move my mouth down to her neck, and I take light bites, making her restless. She puts her hands around my neck, and her moans feel like whispers, or a beautiful melody playing in my ears. I’m dying to have her, being inside her is something I dream about, and this moan makes me very excited, but I need to control myself, after all, I’m in her house. Can you imagine if someone from your family arrives and finds us in an awkward situation?
I stop our kiss. I lean my forehead against hers. I bring mine to her so delicate face, and I give her a light kiss on her forehead, I look at her, her eyes still closed. I observe this wonderful scene, smile and speak.
– I know it was yesterday that we met, but I missed you, cariño!
She opens her eyes and looks at me. I love her look, especially when she looks at me like that scared little girl. He opens his mouth, as if he wants to say something, but he looks at my mouth, and runs his hand through his hair, and walks away from me, heading towards his bed. I close the door, walk over to her, sit beside her, and she breaks this brief silence between us.
– I think you must have seen what that unfortunate Pedro was talking about, and… I saw it, and so did Dani . He’s pretty pissed off about it, and we had an argument this morning, and I didn’t want to talk to anyone in my family, because it seems like they’re forgetting who you are… I don’t believe any of this, I believe you, and I saw what that guy did at the club, but Dani…
– Cariño, don’t worry, I’m going to talk to your brother, I know he must be upset, and that lately our friendship is reflecting the rivalry of our teams, but I’ll clarify all this with him. I just don’t want it to disturb us in any way, and… – I say, and I bring my hand up to his face to caress him, and I kick it towards the goal, even though I know I can hit the post, after all, I’m a defender. – What’s going on between us is very serious for me, and it’s not to further my career, but because I want you so much. I don’t want to force you into anything, but I would like to be your boyfriend!
Alana stares at me with those big, frightened black eyes that I love so much, looks away, then back at me, and finally speaks.
– What do you mean, being my boyfriend?
– Boyfriend, sweetheart. You don’t know what it’s like to be someone’s boyfriend, or girlfriend ?
– It’s not that, I know it! – But it’s just that all this between us is so new, I don’t even know what I really feel, until a while ago you were just Dani’s best friend, and… Suddenly all this happens, and I’m not like the models that most players date, just look at Dani and Isabella, and… – She speaks in desperation, and I touch her face and interrupt her.
– I totally disagree, you are as beautiful as these models that most players date, and I like you, I think you are beautiful, with an amazing body! She looks at me in amazement, and a smile breaks out on her full, indecently desirable lips.
– Are you trying to impress me with those words, quarterback?
– I can impress you even more, cariño. As soon as I speak, she gives me a blush, and I smile.
– Raúl, why do you say these things? It makes me uncomfortable, and…
– That is my intention, mi cariño !
She looks at me with a smile on her lips, and approaches me. I just watch, and I hope you take the initiative. THANKS TO DIOS ! She kisses me. Alana sucks on my lower lip, and then lightly kisses my mouth, I feel her hands touching my hair, and it drives me crazy, and I believe I can go a little further, and I pull her to sit on my lap, and my tongue invades her mouth for good, and the kiss that started out tender, sweet, now turns wild. I grip her waist, with an insane desire to rip off that knit shirt that marks something I really want, her breasts. I can’t resist, I kiss her neck and I go down to the lap of her breasts, and her moans become more audible, she babbles my name. I turn against her, laying her on the bed, I get on top of her, fitting between her legs, and the kiss gets more ardent, and my friend starts to show signs of life, I know I shouldn’t, but it’s a lot of repressed horny, and I think I no longer have control over my body. She’s restless beneath me, but she doesn’t show me any sign that I should stop, so I’m bolder, and I take a firm grip on her breast, I break the kiss to face her, and I have an incredible vision, the desire stamped on her face. The face is remarkable, and Alana stares at me and groans, the other hand deftly runs under her shirt, and before any reaction from her, and when my hand finally gets where it wants to be, we are interrupted by someone who doesn’t know how to knock on the door .
– What’s going on here?
