The load roars of the vikings rung through the stadium as soon as the referee blew the whistle and the ball got kicked over the place for the first time this evening.

And that by none other than Jude Bellingham.

The man that had caused quite the fuss about the two of you online without much of your knowledge.

But now you where here. Not just invited by a huge sport brand in general but same exact one that featured Jude in their World Cup commercial.

Even if you were used to the fame by now, you were glad you could bring two friends of yours along and before you knew it the first half was already over.

After you‘ve taken the obligatory Insta pics you sat down again, taking a sip of your drink.

„So… how‘s things with Jude?“ your friend started the topic that you‘ve meant to avoid the whole evening while shooting your other friend a mischievous grin.

„What do you mean ‚how‘s things‘ it’s not like we are talking or anything.“ you replied sounding a little more annoyed about the situation than you actually were.

„You know exactly what we mean. You’re acting like your shipname isn’t a trending hashtag right now.“ your other friend chirped in.

„Cmon guys. You know how the internet works. That was probably a PR thing all along.“

„Maybe… maybe not. But stop acting like you don’t like this.“

You rolled your eyes at her comment but the corners of your mouth turning upwards betrayed you. „Alright, alright you caught me.“

The second half started off and every time Jude had the ball at his feet or attempted to score one of your girls gave you a look.

So when he did actually score his second goal and the decider for England, the stadium including your friends went absolutely nuts. The goal that got them into the semifinals scored by Englands most expensive player and matchmaker - and apparently your admirer.

When the final whistle blew just minutes after the deciding goal the England players all cheered into the crowd and Oasis was blasting through the speakers.

The atmosphere was phenomenal; you felt your heartbeat through your chest and without even supporting them until you just recently developed that little celebrity crush, you could feel your chest beaming with pride. The English team was standing in front of the grand stands in the Miami stadium soaking in the feeling of their win.

After their celebrations with the public came to an end and the stadium started to clear out a bit, some of the players came to the friends&family section right below the Adidas lounge.

And that’s when you saw him. Skin glistening from the sweat, breath still a little uneven but a huge grin spread across his face while he talked to his family. And given your history the next thing was probably inevitable- for a brief seconds your eyes met.

You could see a shimmer of embarrassment- or excitement, you couldn’t pinpoint it exactly and he probably couldn’t either. After shooting him a quiet smile that he returned, your eyes lost each other again.

„Ahh what was that!?“ your friend giggled while elbowing you, ripping you out of your thoughts.

„Liv, I swear if you say one more thing!“ you shot her a glare.

And she didn’t. At least for now. The afternoon came around and you went back to the enormous hotel room Adidas gave. Being famous definitely had its perks.

„Ouch- what…?“ A flying shoe hit your leg while dozing off in your bed.

„Cmon get up! The club‘s callin‘us. Miami nightlife is elite alright!?“ Liv said while picking up her heel that landed on you just seconds before. You originally just wanted to edit and post some stories of the game after a well deserved coffee break in the hotel but it turned into an almost-nap if it hadn’t have been for Liv‘s shoe.

So after debating your going out options, you had time and place set and got ready together. You and your friends got dressed and got ready while pregaming and before you knew it your Uber arrived.

You honestly didn’t remember how many drinks you had or how you ended up here- talking to the person responsible for Englands win today- Jude Bellingham.

Sometime during the night you went to get another round of shots suddenly you felt a tap on your shoulder. And even before turning around you heard that Brummie accent mix with the loud music blasting through the speakers.

„Felt like I should maybe introduce myself if I already got the opportunity. You don’t get to meet a supermodel everyday, right?“ he tried to open the conversation but the nerves were shimmering through his composed facade.

After a little internal shock you managed to reply and stick out your hand for him to shake.

He took your hand in his and just from the warmth of his hand and the eye contact he held you could feel a hint of butterflies in your stomach.

„Nice meeting you. And congrats on the win as well as the goals.“

After getting to talk to him and doing a bit of small talk you told him you were just about to order another round of shots which he joined into.

„So do you like football?“ Jude spoke to you again after downing the shots with your friends.

„To be honest, not really no. I got invited by Adidas thats why I went.“ You stayed truthful after locking eyes with him again.

„So you don’t usually watch football?“ he started to look a little dissatisfied with your answer.

The loud music and the thumping bass made it quite hard to understand him so you leaned a little closer to him. Due to the heels you were wearing you had the same height but he still shifted like he was about to lean down.

„No I prefer Formula one or Tennis if I got the free time to watch. To be fair I got a pretty packed schedule recently.“

„Yeah I see. So you didn’t know who I was before today?“

„Let’s say I‘ve heard of you in particular before. But it wasn’t really football related.“ a smile crept onto your face.

Judes relaxed facial expression dropped and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks. „It’s the Vogue interview, isn’t it?“

Just as you were about to reply, a guy behind you bumped into you. It wasn’t with much force, however added to your tipsy state as well as your heels it sent you straight into Judes chest; his arm curling around your waist to steady you.

„Hey mate, be a little more careful, alright?“ Jude only got a mumble as a response from the guy who was apparently not sober either.

„Are you alright?“ his tone changed to a much softer one compared to just seconds before.

„Yeah yeah, sorry, it’s just a bit crowded in here.“

He hesitated a little before he leaned in towards your ear again „Do you maybe wanna go outside to talk a little more?“

„I would love that actually.“ you gave him a reassuring smile „Lead the way then!“

His face lit up with relief. The hand around your waist prior used to steady you, slid around you and grabbed your hand to lead you out of the club, past all the turmoil.

A cold wall hit you as soon as you walked out. Quite unusual for Miami but you freezing could also be because your boots were the biggest piece of clothing you had on.

„Do you want my jacket?“ Jude asked holding up his other arm were a black, sleek Louis Vuitton jacket was resting. You quickly shook your head. „No that’s yours.“

„Nah, don’t worry, I‘ve been carrying it around with me all evening already.“

Slowly he unfolded the jacket and laid it over your shoulders. You were standing a little away from the entrance. Just around the corner where it was a lot less crowded then inside. Even though, the music still could be heard dull in the background.

A comfortable silence settled between the both of you except from the sound of the music and the people talking in the background.

Then suddenly you heard two very familiar voices.

„There she is!“ „No wait, don’t go over!“ Your friends came around the corner backing away again and giggling as soon as they saw your company.

„I think your friends might need something from you.“ Jude said amused but still a little disappointment audible.

Your friends waved you over, a little away from Jude.

And after a brief explanation about your other friend who apparently got wasted and needed to go back to your hotel you decided to go as a whole not wanting to leave anyone alone.

Although you would’ve loved to see where the talk with Jude went you said your goodbyes and were just about to walk to your Uber until you realized you still had his jacket on. Jude interrupted you just as you were about to take it off-

„Oh no keep it on, don’t worry. Wouldn’t want you freezing on your way back to the hotel.“ After a few seconds of internal debating he added „You can just give it back to me the next time.“

„I would actually love that.“ you said with a gentle smile before getting in the Uber, driving back.

Back in your hotel room your phone got a notification; you could hear the ping sound while taking off your makeup. When you were done and got back to your bed where you left your phone charging you could see what it said on the screen:

a/n: part 3??? I swear I am dragging this

Charming, cool, composed - that’s how Jude was viewed in his fanbase and even beyond that. And that was true for the most parts, not just some gimmick held up for the public by his PR team. He was a gentleman thoroughly and it showed in the support he gained across various social media platforms.

He always appeared mature and well spoken; even for his relatively young age he maintained a son-in-law image over the years.

That was also the image that you had in mind since you were introduced to him in the Euros 2020. Back then your career didn't start yet and except for a few modeling jobs in your home town you were pretty much a nobody. But that changed drastically.

After your first few national wide campaigns you were soon discovered and ended up in the fashion capitals on the runway and as a brand ambassador for various luxury brands - it all worked out.

You’ve taken the fashion industry by storm and are now a very recognizable name. And that‘s exactly how you ended up here - in the grand stands of the football match between Norway and England invited by Adidas. And thats when you saw a certain someone warming up on the field.

Since you had to be in Miami for a shoot with a clothing brand anyways you decided this was a good opportunity for a little break. Though, you would be lying if you claimed this as the only reason. A very amusing video featuring England’s superstar going viral right now certainly aroused your interest as well.

„So Jude, continue, what‘s the next essential in your bag?“ the girl from British Vogue behind the camera said after he took the first few items out of his Luis Vuitton bag. He shot a quick smile into the camera and then continued with the YouTube video.

„So for the next item I picked this moisturizer. Cause I‘ve got quite dry skin so it’s really nice to just have this on me whereever I go.“ he paused for a little showing the tube into the camera.

„I‘ve also heard they‘ve got a new ambassador right?“

„Oh yeah that’s right.“ the voice from the faceless girl could be heard again, mentioning your name.

„ She actually signed about three new brand deals this year, quite impressive if you ask me.“

„Three? Thats actually crazy work. But with that face...“ the last part came out a little quieter and less directed at the camera. As if the statement was only meant to be heard by him, followed by a subtle blush on his cheeks.

That's right when the clip segment ended and the video was cut to Jude showing the next essential of him. And if you weren't paying much attention to the video either you wouldn't have noticed it any further.

But the internet did. And within the first hour the video was online the moment got clipped; uploaded hundreds of times on Tik Tok and Instagram and instantly got viral.

The comments reached from jealousy and shipping you two to even people suggesting you're already dating in private. And after a few days of circulating online, the whirlwind surrounding it reached you.

In the middle of a shoot, which was only meant to be a quick Tik Tok break, turned into a deep dive into the Englishman and all of the attention disrupting his normally well collected appearance online.

Football wasn't the usual content appearing on your for-you page either but seeing your name in the hashtag made you curious. So you stayed. And you were glad you did.

So after a well spent amount of time online you were all filled in on this little crush regarding Englands matchmaker. It was safe to say that this also might have been a reason why you showed up at the match in the end.
