When Eyes Meet 🍄

I don’t even think anyone will see this but yeah let’s just do it IM SO EMBARASSED THO.

Anfield was always loud, but today it was something else. it was roaring, the ground vibrating with everyone's voices, people cheering as loud as they could for their favorite team. Today was the game against Arsenal top of the league it was a game about keeping hopes for the Champions League next year so the plan was to cheer as loud as they can because they were player number 12 and they could change the path of the game.

She was there too, buried in the middle of the crowd wearing her Liverpool jersey with his name on the back it was covered with a jacked because it was chilly but she mostly covered it because she thought it was embarrassing, people will think of her just as a fangirl while football was what she adored since she was a little girl.

The game started and Liverpool was doing so well until van Dijk made a wrong pass and Martinelli scored 20 minutes later and the other Gabriel scored second it was disappointing to see her team lose at home it was more disappointing for her because it was his fault he wasn’t okay, he was bothered by something it was obvious because this isn’t how he plays, he picked a  small fight with Martinelli, ‘he looked hot when angry’ she thought but she pushed that thought away as fast as it came.

Half-time whistle echoed in the air and swiftly merged with the riot of the mass.

2-1 for the gunners.

He perked his head up, not sure what caught his attention.

She was already looking.

Their eyes caught each other 

He slowed his pace down so as to gain more time to look at her eyes, large and luminous somehow full the comfort and courage. she smiled at him a sweet sweet smile a hopeful one a ‘Don’t worry you got’ this smile. 

He felt foolish as his heart started hammering against his chest, hers already stopped.

Time seemed to tick beyond count and ages blurred into each other. The entire cosmos collapsed and were reborn. Stars died and scattered into the void. Nothing else held any significance but his eyes, but her eyes, but then it was broken, Time resumed and life carried on. someone pushed him and called him inside and he hated him because he has not had enough of her.

He quickly memorized her place so he would look at her once they were back on the field again. 

While he disappeared into the changing room she was left there she looked around to see if anyone other than her has noticed but no one seemed to have paid attention to that small moment, she just had a moment with him it can’t be or can it. she was all confused head over the clouds she was in sock it was hard to comprehend such a thing she was more shocked of her self because she smiled at him he must’ve thought that she looked stupid but god oh god if she just knew what his thoughts were how with just one look she made him relook into his entire life. 

Back on the pitch again he turned his head to where she was sitting she greeted him with a big smile and a thumbs up he smiled back an innocent boy smile a smile coming from the roots of his heart. Was he stupidly blushing? Yes, yes he was.

The game started and he was so energetic running down the pitch in his mind he was trying to show off he tried his best and pushed himself to be at his finest and that was so apparent because now they were closer to equalizing.

Salah missed a penalty and it pissed him off but when he looked at her she was still happy still cheering and clapping. It made him cool down.

 From time to time he would look at her because it gave him courage and made him more willing to score 

A few moments later he made an amazing assist to Bobby she was jumping from her seat screaming at top of her lungs and it made his heart warm.

She was proud of him.

He was on fire now shooting here and there his passion was unmatched. 

The final whistle came, and what a match it was. Liverpool deserved the win but a draw 

is better than a loss.

On his way out he couldn’t take his eyes off her nor could she. He wished he could swim through the crowd and hug her, hold her in his embrace, and share this special moment with her in his mind he wondered if his shirt is the one that she was wearing. 

It was and will be a memorable night for both of them. A first meeting, a silent but also loud one a meeting of eyes that said more than it was allowed. 

He winked at her to insist to her that she was who has his attention and she smiled and waved he waved back but quickly so as not to make a scene.

For one last time, he took a long glimpse at her looking deeply at her dazzling brown eyes to memorize them because he knew that he may never see her again so he mentally took a picture of her to look at it and revise it on his dreams. 

He was glad that out of the whole crowd, it was her eyes that he caught out of all the players that are the team it was him that she looked at. It might be faith but it may also be just a coincidental moment for both of them but for him, that didn’t quite matter because from now on she’s his lucky charm 

Y’all I'm so embarrassed by what I just wrote I’ve always wanted to do such a thing but never had the courage also this is my first try probably most likely my last one, I don’t know how many people will see this but if you do just click the heart leave your mark “I was here” it will make me smile I also love you so yeah…there is that. Bye <3
