room 07

full time whistle had gone and jadon had a good game, three assists and a goal to finish dortmund's 4-0 win v shalke off.

ama and aaliyah stayed in the hospitality section for a while longer, talking and getting to know each, until eventually two men came into the vip reception.

jadon spotted her, walked up to their table and hugged ama from behind. aaliyah had seen them coming and got up to greet her boyfriend.

"i see you two are getting to know each other" chibz said with an arm around aaliyah.

the two girls laughed and gave a warm smile to each other.

"well done today" ama said getting up from her seat and ruffling his hair.

"thank you babe" he replied, kissing her on the cheek.

chibz intervened before jadon and ama became lost in themselves.

"we ready to go?" chibz asked.

"oh yeah yeah, let's go" jadon said, getting back to his senses.

all four of them got into the car, jadon driving with ama in the passenger seat and chibz behind ama and aaliyah sat behind jadon. there was a seat in between chibz and aaliyah but it was filled by their interlocked hands and ama smiled as it caught her eye every so often in the rear view mirror of the car.

they eventually got to jadon's house and aaliyah and ama closed the car doors at the same time. ama put her arm around Aaliyah's shoulder, before chibz could and started walking into the house, ama turned around and stuck her tounge at chibz and jadon laughed.

"im hungry what does everyone want to eat?"

"pizza" the girls said at the same time.

"alright tia and tamera, pizza it is" jadon replied with his hands in the air.

the girls laughed and went to the guest room where aaliyah and chibz would be staying.

ama was sat on the floor and salient was lying stomach-down on the bed.

"so where did you and chibz meet?" ama asked.

"well we actually met for the first time in nigeria, last year"

"omg, are you nigerian?"

"no unfortunately not, i'm from st kits and nevis, but my step dad is nigerian and i was on holiday there"

"ohh cool, so what was he lookin' at you in the cluerb" ama said, imitating bob risky.

"yeahh, he was lookin at me in the cluerb and he was like, fine gal can i have your nomba" aaliyah said, joining in.

they bounced between their questionable nigerian accents and were laughing so loud the boys could hear them.

...

"sound like they're getting along" jadon stated, with his head facing the direction where the noise was coming from.

"yeah man" chibz replied.
"yo jay, have you given ama the ring yet?"

"no, why"

"yesterday i asked her where her ring was and she looked confused"

"chibzz mann, you almost blew my cover" jadon said smiling and throwing a pillow at him.

chibz caught the pillow before it could hit him.

"but for real tho, i thought you were going to give it to her, isn't that why you told me to stay in the guest room when she first came here"

"i wanted to, but i got nervous, i asked her to be my girlfriend less than two months ago, even though it's not an engagement ring i dont want her to think we're moving too fast, or im putting pressure on her."
