I hated that I'd never be able to take back the relationship I shared with Ross . Well perhaps hate is a strong word , of course there were times throughout the year or so that we spent together that I loved nothing and no one more than I did Ross , but things change ... people change .Ross had never treated me right , and everybody knew that .
He was out with the boys whenever he wasn't training or away for matches , and in the end we spent next to no time together. And let's just say the time we did spend together wasn't always the most pleasant.But , no ... the thing I hated the most was the fact that , although I was with mason now , in many peoples eyes I'd always be Ross's girl . No matter how poorly he'd treated me when we were together , or the fact that I'd been with mase for nearly six months people just couldn't let it go .
" your dating his friend now ? That's low"
" his teammate , really ?"
I tried my hardest to ignore people's comments , for the best of myself and mason . I could tell it bothered him when people teased us about our relationship, or more specifically the circumstances of it .
But today ignoring the situation would be difficult , due to the fact that I was going to watch the Chelsea match . This meant although I'd see our friends , Ben , Kai etc and of course mason ... I might also see Ross .
This was daunting because since the breakup Nearly a year ago , I'd done my best to avoid Ross in every possible way . I didn't go out with mason if I knew Ross would be there and I barely ever went and watched mason train , all out of fears of what the boys might say .
'come see me before the game xx'
I smiled as his name illuminated my phone as I finished getting ready for the match , but that quickly dropped at the realisation I'd finally have to see Ross again .
As I drove towards Stamford bridge and eventually made my way inside , I could only hope Ross had changed already , meaning he would have left the changing rooms before I get the chance to share an awkward encounter with him .
" hey darling , how you doing ?" Mason asks , as he brings me into a tight hug followed by a kiss to the cheek upon my arrival .
" yeah I'm all good , what about you ? Any nerves ?" I reply .
" nah , it's only Norwich" he smirks cockily .
" you never know , they could pull a blinder on ya"
I tease as I hear voices approach .
My nerves are settled however , when I realise it's only chilly and Reece ." Oi oi , what are you doing here ?" Ben asks , slinging an arm around my shoulder.
" oh I'm just here to support Norwich" I laugh .
" not in that shirt your not" mason says sassily , referring to my Chelsea jersey with his name displayed on the back .
" you got me there" I say , as I begin to give him a kiss goodbye and wish the others good luck before they are called back into the changing room by tuchel.
... It was , as mason had suggested, a seemingly easy match for the blues . They won at an impressive seven to nil , mason having scored three of which .
Proudness rushed through every vein in my body as my boyfriend finally came into sight , sweaty and holding the match ball due to his hat rick ." well done mase" I say , pushing up onto my tippy toes in order to give him a well deserved kiss.
" Thank you my love" he replied before swiftly pulling me back in for another kiss ...
That was until we heard an awkward cough from behind us , causing us to come to a halt and break apart .
I turn only to see an awkward looking kai havertz stood with non other than Ross ." sorry for breaking up that little moment there but we kinda need to get past" Ross said , venom laced through every word he spoke .
" mate , no need to take that tone with her okay ?" Mason said , out stretching his arm in-front of me to shield me from Ross .
" mate ? You lost that title when you fucked my bird." He spat .
" and that's exactly why she's not with you anymore Ross . She's not a 'bird' and she certainly isn't yours. Now fuck off and leave us alone" mason said , anger getting the best of him but in this instance I was glad for it .
" thanks mase" I said in appreciation once my ex had finally shoved his way past us and into the dressing room , leaving only mason , Kai and myself .
"He shouldn't be able to speak to you like that just because your with me now . It's his fault he lost you . Prick" Mase said , still visibly heated from the situation.
" if it means anything , me and all the others agree that Ross is a bit of a dick when it comes to you . He wasn't nice when you were dating and he's till not nice now so it makes sense that you've moved on ." Kai interjects .
" really ? Thanks Kai it means a lot , I guess I'm just worried about what you all think of me now that I've dated two of the team members ."
" nobody would ever judge you for that . Ross was an idiot, which lead you to money mase over here . Now you're happy and so's mason so what's there to be judgy about ?" Kai said , shaking his head as if my worries were ridiculous.
And truthfully his words did calm me , because at the end of the day there was nothing wrong with mine and mason's relationship; as Kai said someone negative happened to lead me to the love of my life ... so what if I'm a homie hopper .
