Madrid YO NO ACREDITO EN LO QUE ESTOY OVINDO
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
Madrid ESTO NO DEBERÍA ACONTECER
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
Madrid UN VACÍO IN MI PECHO
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
Madrid TREINOS Y CONFUSIONES
Raúl — The one who said: Defender, sensation of Real Desportivo de Madrid, celebrates his call up very well!But what is she talking about? Did someone publish an article about yesterday? But how did this happen?— Cariño... I think I know what you're talking about, but it was all a misunderstanding, and...— You mean it was a misunderstanding? You told your little friend about the reason for our disagreement... Was that a misunderstanding?— Like this?— I got a message from an unknown number saying I was very smart... I wanted the forward and the defender at the same time! It's obvious that this malicious message was from his beloved Amália, but it was a misunderstanding, wasn't it?What the hell! Why did I open my mouth? Letting alcohol and anger work for me, those are the worst combinations, you end up doing a lot of shit, and regretting it later... And now, I'm here in front of the woman I love, feeling like the dumbest guy in the world for drinking and talking too much for some
Madrid EL TORNEO MUNDIAL DE SELECCIONES
AlanaI knew she wasn't a good person, but not of that quality. It's too audacious to hold my arm, think you can say or do anything to me. I try to free myself and turn to face her. Before I open my mouth to speak, or raise my hand to do anything, someone approaches me and says something.— Leave my friend alone, you cow! Who do you think you are to pull her like that?— And who are you? Her security? he asks ironically.— No, I'm her friend. And I think you better get out of here, because if Alana is controlling herself not to put her hand in your face, I'll do it for her... — Edu speaks in a serious tone of voice, which I don't remember seeing him using since we met.— Don't worry, we're leaving! she says, and finally leaves with her friend.I see them walk away. I look at my friends who stare at me with an affectionate look. And Babi questions Edu ironically.— Since when are you so manly? I even believed...— Oh, how dull, Dona Barbara! I had to defend our friend from this crazy
Madrid EL TORNEO MUNDIAL DE SELECCIONES Part II
RaúlI will the position holder?This is some joke, it can't be, it's surreal.I always dreamed of being in the national team, especially in the most important competition in world football, but I never imagined that I would be a starter like that. It's confusing, I feel a mixture of sadness and joy. It must not be easy for Álvarez , an experienced defender, one of the best today, to be cut by such a stupid injury. However, I'm happy for the trust that Dell Castillo is placing in me, it's proof that I've been doing a good job, and that's wonderful!— Sir, I would like to thank you for the trust. And Alvarez already knows? And the team, do they already know?— He already knows, and as for the team, I'll let them know now, in the cafe. You don't need to thank me, you deserve this place, because you've been playing your role in defense very well![...]It's my debut in the competition. I'm nervous, and at the same time confident, if Del Castillo gave me this opportunity, I'm not going to
Madrid EL MUNDIAL ES NUESTRO
RaúlI walk away from my family, hoping to catch up with them, but I am stopped by some people, probably relatives of the players. And when I finally manage to pass people, and dodge that movement, Alana is no longer there. Damn it! The feeling of loss takes over me, something I had avoided in recent weeks, as I needed to be focused and concentrated on the Cup. I can't get down now, I need to focus on something else right now, we're in the final... And I want to be world champion!The big day has arrived. I couldn't sleep, I spent the whole night thinking about the game and my story so far. The day before I received several calls. Two of them caught my attention, one was from Fernando telling me about the amount of proposals I was getting from foreign clubs, from companies wanting my participation as a poster boy, and that made me happy, I finally conquered the fame I wanted. And the other call was from Alana. I answered, she said absolutely nothing and hung up. I called back but was
Madrid ¡ME DEJE ENTRAR, CARIÑO!
Alana— Raúl! — I say, look in my direction, approach, and extend my hand in greeting. — Congratulations on everything you've accomplished in this Tournament. You were amazing!He just smiles shyly, approaches me and holds my hand. This simple gesture makes my body alert, my desire is to cling to your body, kiss your mouth desperately. Raúl touches my hand lightly, his gaze is intense, I feel naked in front of him. He closes the distance between us, wraps his arms around my waist and hugs me tightly, I return the gesture. It seems like the world stopped for both of us at that moment, I can't hear anything, let alone see anything, it's a unique moment. Unlike my dream, he's not blaming me, we're incredibly connected, and before we say anything, our moment is interrupted by his family. He looks at me as if he wants to ask for something, I move away a little, giving way to his mother and brothers. He is hugged by everyone, but he keeps looking at me, I smile shyly and he smiles back. In
