Alana— Raúl , did something happen?— It's just that Fernando called, and said so much about the selection, about sponsors, the Tournament, and that made me a little worried...— With what?— I don't know if I'll actually be able to get summoned, and it worries me somehow...— Fernando has been pressuring you, is that it? Because if that's it, do your job and things will happen...— I'm not like Dani. He doesn't bow his head to anyone in football, and he ignores the press, and he's never had to put himself out there to get noticed, and...— Raúl, you have been called up to be tested, and the final list will come out in May, until then he will make two more calls, and you will have until the end of the season to show your potential.— I know, but Fernando told me that it would be nice to appear on some sports programs, and give an interview telling me about my story... It's something he's been insisting on since the event with Pedro, but I don't want to be involved with the sports med
RaúlAlana is so worried about her friend that she doesn't feel safe telling him about their possible romance. Since Rafael confided something I already suspected, I started to admire him even more, because it must not be easy to live in a world that doesn't accept you, and in the world of football it's like that. Rafael, or any player who is brave enough to admit his sexual orientation, will suffer the consequences of his decision. Unfortunately, that's how it is, it's outdated, it's not just in football, or in any other sport, the world is still a place full of prejudices. I bring my hand to her face, I want to cherish her, make her feel confident and expose her problems and feelings.— What happened? The problem is with Edu?— Yeah... But, I can't tell you... Because I would be breaking his trust, even though Edu is hiding something from me...— Is he dating a football player?— I think so, but I'm not really sure, and...— Is it Raphael? I ask her, but I already know her answer.—
RaúlThe days in Ibiza were few, but they became incredible. Live more intimately with no one to get in our way? It was amazing! It helped us create complicity, partnership and intimacy in a relationship that is still in its infancy. However, our incredible days in paradise called Ibiza came to an end, and we were forced to return to our realities. The big day has arrived, to introduce myself to the Selection. It's not the first time I perform, I've used that red shirt from U-17 to U-23, the base for the main team, but it's not the same, the main team has always been my dream.I park my car, grab my suitcase and continue walking to the entrance to the Spanish National Team Training Center, a building that reminds me of a hotel. In front of the access doors of that place I always dreamed of entering as an athlete of the main team, they open and close, and I can't contain a shy tear that insists on sprouting, it's stronger than me. Staying in this place, putting on the training uniform,
RaúlTo be champion is something indescribable. I don't really know what I feel right now, there are so many feelings involved, a movie goes through my mind, it seems like a dream. Touching the trophy, and feeling its weight in my hands made me see it as a reality. I am champion of the Champions of Europe for the first time. The celebration on the field seems endless, I look for my family in the stands, I can't find them, the stadium is one big party. When all the cheering on the field is really over, I take off my shirt and head for the access tunnel, and beyond that they are. My mother is the most emotional, it's a moment of family fulfillment, not just for me, but for everyone. And when I let go of my family, my eyes meet hers, and a feeling of pleasure takes over me, her desire is clear.I hug her tightly, and Alana clings to me, I feel her mouth lightly touch my neck, I feel her excitement.— Congratulations my love! — he tells me with enthusiasm.Then I'm taken by surprise by a
AlanaThe first time it was wild and intense and wonderful. The second half was sweet, delicate, our bodies were given over to a burning passion that consumed us, a longing that we both felt for moments like this. And when we finally ended our torrid moments of love, he gave himself over to sleep, while I continued to watch him. Raúl is everything I ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, in fact, he's everything I imagined I would live next to Dani... It's strange to think like that, at least now, it's frighteningly strange for me. It's embarrassing to think that one day I was in love with my half-brother... I wasted a lot of time attached to a feeling that proved to be childish and shallow at the same time, because when it was put to the test it became irrelevant, unimportant. Today I look at Dani and I can't see him like I used to, with all that ardor. But, at the same time, I think that all that changed because Raúl burst the bubble I lived in, and I ended up falling into his seduction ga
RaúlThe silence is distressing. His eyes express fear, I'm afraid his answer confirms what I heard the night before, and it's all no longer just a fantasy story about a girl who's had too much to drink. It's only seconds, but for me, it feels like hours... And Alana finally, after swallowing hard, moving her hair repeatedly, decides to open her mouth and say something.— I don't know exactly what I told you about Dani, but I want you to know...— Will you keep lying?— No... I just want to tell you that I tried... I tried to tell you, but I couldn't. At first I thought it didn't matter, and now I see that it never really mattered...— Alana, tell me soon! Did you like... or do you like him? I ask this question in the hope that I won't hear anything that hurts me.— I liked him, I mean, I liked him for a long time, or so I thought. And now, I don't like it anymore, I'm in love with you, Raúl! — He says and tries to get closer in an attempt to hug me, but I pull away. I don't know, som
RaúlThe words echo in my mind. “CALL’ “TEAM” “WORLD TEAM TOURNAMENT”. A movie goes through my head. There are many scenes, in most of them a poor boy struggles every day to be accepted in any sieve of Spanish clubs, and when he was about to give up an opportunity appeared. Hard times. A lot of work, a lot of difficulty. But, I learned that we can't give up on dreams, and to conquer them we have to set pressure, run after, overcome obstacles... It's a long way to make a dream come true, and today I did it. I was summoned. I fulfilled my dream! Different thoughts and sensations invade me, I can barely hold my phone, I just drop it on the bed, my mother and my brothers hug me, I can't hold back the tears.— I'm so proud of you, Raúl! — Says my mother.— You're going to the World Cup, I can't believe it! It's too much! — Javier says excitedly.Everyone hugs me. Eva seems the most emotional, doesn't speak, just cries. I hug her tighter and sit on the bed, everyone sits and I gently pull
Alana“You lied to me”. Raúl's words don't leave my mind. First it was in a dream, and then in his car. I don't know how our situation will turn out, I hope you understand. I hope you understand everything, and don't believe in something that doesn't exist anymore. My feeling for Dani doesn't exist anymore, today, I believe it never existed. There is a lot of movement in my house, since my arrival, until the moment in my room I hear the sound of cars parking in front of our house. Someone knocks on my door.— Who is it?— Daughter, we are in need of your help, soon the rest of the guests will arrive, and you are still... — I open the door.— Is there going to be a party? What are you celebrating?— Today the list of squads for the National Teams comes out, and your brother will probably be on it, so nothing more fitting than a party to celebrate!I completely forgot about that detail. Does Raúl remember this list?[...]Screams of happiness, hugs, tears... There was a lot of emotion i
