Chapter 24 THE GREAT CLASSIC
Raúl
I arrived at the club very early, today will be our last training session before El Gran classic _ I spent the morning practicing some markings, free kicks, and one of my favorite things, a header after a corner. This game is worth the championship lead, if we win we will be leaders, putting two points ahead of Sport Club de Madrid, and three for Club Atlético de Catalunya. Although, our biggest focus this season is named, “Champions of Europe”. We will travel in a few weeks to Lyon to face the team of the same name, they have been standing out in the competition. The first game was here at Juan Toledo, and we won 1 x 0, but in a competition of this size, this is nothing. However, all the training and focus on these important competitions doesn’t make me get my girlfriend out of my mind, and all the moments we had only increased my desire for her.
I leave the field, and on my way to the locker room I am stopped by some colleagues who talk about plays, markings, tactics, a lot of things related to football. Until we meet Tomás, who signals us to follow the long corridors towards the gym, which is empty at this hour. When we arrive, he sits on one of the wooden benches, and I do the same.
– Amália, called me yesterday…
– What did she want with you?
– I was worried, I never thought she was obsessed with you. She was upset to hear that you’re dating. That is true?
– Leave Amalia alone. To answer your question, yes. I’m dating…
– Did Alana accept?
– Yes, finally!
– So it was a good night, eh? – You have a face…
-Nothing much has happened yet!
We talked a little, but I didn’t give details of what happened. I trust him, although our conversations reached Dani’s ears, I’m sure someone must have heard, probably that unfortunate Pedro. But I don’t want to expose Alana.
After the conversation, I took a quick shower and went to pick up Alana at her friend Edu’s house. I invited her to take a dip in the pool at my house, but I didn’t tell her that my family wouldn’t be there, because they all traveled to Barcelona to watch the game, it’s the first time I’m going to be a starter in a game of this proportion, and my mother always wanted to know the Catalan city. We went to my house, and as soon as we arrived Alana wanted to change, I offered the bathroom for her to put on her bathing suit, while I use the closet.
On the lounger, I stare into space, when I finally spot my girlfriend who is wearing a tiny blue bikini, her curvy body, her slim waist, and those breasts covered by the fabric of her bathing suit. DIOS MIO! I look at every part of her body, which takes away my peace, her air of innocence drives me crazy, I think she has no idea how much it affects me. As soon as she sits down, I get up, and I invite her to fall into the water, I throw myself into the pool, and then she does the same, I approach her, in a way that my body is glued to hers , I take her mouth with I want to possess her in that pool, I run my hands over her body. I’m crazy with desire, and not much needs to happen for me to get hard, Alana makes it easy, easy for me. I press her to the edge of the pool, and I hear her moan that sounds like music to my ears, I can’t stand it, and I say what I’ve been wanting for a long time.
– I want you very much. I want to make love to you, cariño!
She places her hands on my chest, and gives me a fearful look, walks away, and heads toward the pool steps. I don’t understand anything, and I go out towards her, she runs to enter the house, but as a good defender that I am, I anticipate her , I hold her arm in order to stop her steps. She looks at me, and speaks.
– Rául let me go, I need to…
– Calm down, baby ! Can you explain to me what’s going on?
– There’s nothing to explain, I want to leave…
– Lana, what’s going on? You said we needed to be honest with each other, and you’re not being honest with me right now. Tell me what happened, if I did something wrong, help me fix it! – I say, and she keeps looking at me, her discomfort is visible, until she decides to say something.
– I’ll tell you, but I think you’ll laugh at me.
– I promise I won’t laugh. – Come, let’s sit down! I say, and lead her over to the lounge chairs. – Now, can you tell me?
– It’s all right. It’s just, I don’t know how to tell this, it’s hard for me, but I’ll say it once and for all… Yeah… I never did…
– Never did what?
– I never… – Her nervousness is evident, and I know what she has to tell me, because I already suspected it.
– You’ve never had sex, is that it? – I ask, and she lowers her gaze, seems overwhelmed with shame, I feel an overwhelming urge to hug her, and that’s what I do. I stroke her hair, and I speak in her ear. – No need to be ashamed, I had a suspicion, but… – She looks at me, and asks.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
– Did you know? How?
– Your behavior at times gave you away. Also, when I asked, you shied away from answering me, remember?
– Yeah, I think I acted like an idiot that day, you’re used to women like that girl from yesterday, determined and going after what she wants, I’m not like that, and…
– Nothing like that, you didn’t act like an idiot, and neither are you, but something intrigues me. I run my hand through her hair, she looks at me curiously, and I continue. – It’s okay that your mother always regulated everything you did, but even so, you’re 19, beautiful, smart, and how are you still a virgin? Not that it’s bad, it’s not that, but…
– Ah Raúl, it’s complicated! I’ve never had a boyfriend, and I’ve spent a lot of time on so many things, and…
– What things? You’ve never been interested in anyone, to the point where…
– Yeah… I… Do you want to know if I liked anyone? – she asks me, and I nod. – I liked it, and I wasted a lot of time enjoying it, and…
– And he never wanted anything to do with you?
– He never noticed me, and I don’t think I ever really liked him, maybe I got things mixed up, because I never had certain feelings, or sensations for him. – I loved hearing that.
– Certain feelings, sensations… How so?
– Oh, yeah… Desire, I never wanted him as a man, you know I never felt… – It seems uncomfortable to complete the sentence, and I do it.
– You never felt the lust for him, the urge to have sex, is that it? – I ask, and she just nods in agreement with what I say.
– Now in the pool, I wanted to, but I don’t think I’m ready yet, I don’t feel so comfortable. Raúl, please don’t get me wrong, I…
– Alana, I understand you, and I don’t want to force you into anything, I’ve said that on other occasions, and I wait as long as it takes to have you. I say, hugging her once more, and continue what I want to say in her ear. – I want to have you the right way, that you want me, and that you feel a crazy need to feel me inside you, cariño!
Alana
Raúl wants to drive me crazy . How does he open his mouth, and say something like that to me? He wants me to feel a crazy need to feel him inside me, and then he gives me that smile, which makes me understand why my friends call him wet panties. Nothing else happened, very hot between us, he took me home, because he will travel in the early hours of the morning to Barcelona. At home I can’t concentrate on much, and I get that feeling that I should have stayed there with him, given myself away at once, and by now I would be in his arms enjoying pleasant moments. They say that the first time hurts a lot, Babi told me that hers was terrible, but she also went through the minds of some girls who called themselves her friends, because, while I advised her that she should wait a little longer, to be sure if it was this… Her new friends told her that being a virgin was a thing of the past, and that she should lose it as soon as possible. I think everyone loses their virginity the way they want, but it’s good to be sure what you’re doing so you don’t regret it later. She ended up losing her virginity to a stranger, at a party, and regretted it a lot, because the guy was rude, had no patience and just wanted to satisfy himself. She regrets to this day for this unfortunate decision, she had some boyfriends who disappointed her a lot, including one of them was a real monster.
Leaving my friend aside, I always thought that my first time would be with Dani , I even told Raúl that I liked a person and I wasn’t reciprocated, but I didn’t have the courage to tell who it was, in fact I don’t think about telling, that’s something I must forget, and bury once and for all. Now I’m sure: My first time will be with Raúl. Although I need to lose the fear of giving into this passion once and for all, I really want to be with him, and feel him inside me. Want to know something? When he comes back from Barcelona, I’m going to talk to him, and I’m going to tell him that I want to make love. Okay, it’s decided!

The big day of the classic has arrived, I’m nervous for Raúl, after all this is not an ordinary game, the rivalry goes far beyond football clubs, it involves many issues, and neither team wants to lose to the other. In the video room, I sit in front of the TV to follow every detail of the game. Other times I would never waste ninety minutes watching Real Desportivo de Madrid vs Club Atlético de Catalunya , but now it’s different. I’m apprehensive, and I’m hoping that everything will work out, and Raúl will have a good game. The game is balanced, Desportivo attack, and Atlético defend, and the same happens on the other side. It was like that the entire first half.
At the return of the second half, the Catalan team hesitates in the middle of the field, and the Desportivo midfielder leaves the striker alone with the goalkeeper, and before the defense arrives to prevent, GOAL by the Madrid team! However, the joy is short-lived, Raúl tries to fix Tomás’ fault, who instead of sending the ball to the attack, gets in the way and puts the ball at the rival defender’s feet, which is consequently sent to the left side. There is no time for the goalkeeper to do anything. Atletico Catalunya goal!
Thirty minutes into this stalemate, attack from there, and attack from here, and the defense of the two working, until at the end of the game, in the last minute of added time, which were six, due to some very common problems in classics like this: confusion, a lot of confusion, a lot of fouls, arguments, expulsion from both sides. For those who don’t follow it, it seems scary, but after all this, the Catalan striker loses the ball at the entrance of the penalty area, who will steal the ball? I think you can imagine! Then he drives the ball to the penalty area, puts it on Rafael’s feet, who kicks with such force, but hits the post, and on the rebound Raúl sends his head into the goal. I get up like crazy, jump, scream, I even forget that I’m not a Sports fan, but that’s ok , it was for a good cause!
The next day, I arrive early at the club parking lot. Leaning against his car, at the entrance to the CT. Things change in such a crazy way, I never imagined that I would now be the girlfriend of the defender of Real Desportivo de Madrid, and I have credentials to enter here, contradictory, but what matters is that I’m waiting for Raúl, and the night before we agreed that I would wait for him, and from there we would go to his house. I told him I wanted to celebrate alone. I don’t know if he understood, because he was silent for a few moments. The bus finally arrives, my heart wants to jump out, it doesn’t take long for him to approach with that adorable smile, looking at me like I’m the most precious thing in the world. I walk towards him, I cling to him and kiss his mouth desperately, his neck, and I press my mouth to his ear, and get up the courage to speak.
– I want you so much, quarterback. I’m dying to feel you inside me…
