Chapter 8

Harmony tried her best to stay away from Rafa. He wasn't over the fact that Spain was out of the world cup.
"Francia vete a la mierda! Qué la cogida? Cómo está difícilmente? Poner la bola en la red maldita. Cogida! España aspira."
"Rafa…it's over! Let it go" Toni said as they switched through the main 5 British channels. Rafa ignored him and went upstairs, still mumbling. Harmony decided to do something to cheer him up. She followed him…
"Harmony?" Toni said.
"Yes?" she replied innocently.
"I have both my ears opened, so don't try anything. Tomorrow he has a tough match against Kendrick, an American. Rafa has problem with American style of play, the big serves etc….so I want him well rested, you understand?" he said. Harmony nodded and smiled…
"Don't worry" she replied then went upstairs.
She knocked silently on his door then walked in. He was lying in bed, hands behind his head and staring at the ceiling, still mumbling.
"Rafa?" she laughed.
"Harmony please..i'm not in the mood right now!" he replied and she closed the door. She walked nearer to the bed.
"Anything I can do to cheer you up?" she gave a cheeky smile towards Rafa. He raised his eyebrow and looked at her…
"Can you turn back time?"
"No, but I can predict the future…well then next minutes anyway" she smiled seductively. He sat up..
"Oh yeah?" he smiled.
"Un hun"
"What happens in the next minutes then?" he smiled cheekily.
"Oh……" she went to seat on top of him and lifted off his shirt.
"A little bit of this…" she kissed his chest.
"Ooh"
"And a little bit of this…" she went lower.
"Ok"
"And this" she went even lower as she freed him from his shorts.
"Okkk"
"And……" she went even lower.
"this" she demonstrated.
"P***!"

"Oh dios Harmony!" Rafa said as they both lied in bed out of breath, with their hair all over their face and Harmony messier than he was.
"You liked it?" she asked.
"Did I like it?! I loved it. P***, Spain should loose more often."
"Haha. If Brazil doesn't make it you have to return the favour."
"Haha. Where did you learn how to do that?"
"Feli" she smiled. Rafa frowned and looked down at her.
"Feli?! What do you mean Feli?"
"Well I found one of his ahem tapes, we watched it and I learned some stuff from the ladies." She smiled but Rafa wasn't smiling.
"What?" she asked.
"You just seem to be really close with Feli."
"We're friends." She sat up.
"Rafa, you're not jealous are you? Feli and I are just friends. I met him before you remember?? If Feli was the one I wanted I wouldn't be with you, believe me." She replied; he looked at her face. He smiled then kissed her forehead.
"Of course baby. Ignore me. I know you love me and I love you…remember that!" "I know Campéon" she was about to kiss him
"Ah ah ah" Rafa pulled back with a smile and Harmony rolled her eyes.
"Ok I'm going to clean up."
She tried to sneak from his room to the bathroom unnoticed..
"Harmony"
"Arrghh" she covered her mouth.
"Maria, I have to go" she replied. Maria grabbed her arm
"Wait" she pulled her hand down and smiled when she saw what Harmony was covering.
"Oh my god you sl**! Haha. Rafa is a very lucky boy" she smiled.
"I really have to go" Harmony blushed and rushed to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror
"Ewwww!"

The next day as Rafa was getting ready he sneaked in Harmony's and Maria's room. It was Toni's idea that they should share a room.
"Come in Rafa" Maria replied in a sleepy voice.
"Good morning Maria. Harmony..um" he sat on her bed and kissed her forehead. "Morning campéon" she sat up and fixed the collar of his jacket.
"Baby, are you going to come watch the match today?" he asked.
"Rafa, I told you I don't want to. You know I want to be there to support you but the thought of being on camera and having girls say mean things about me just because I'm with you, it..it upsets me" she replied. He caressed her cheek.
"I know baby. But you don't have to seat in the VIP section, just lose yourself in the crowd. Comeon baby it would mean a lot to me to know you're there" he replied.
"Yeah comeon Harmony. I can come with you" Maria said from her bed. Harmony hesitated, then
"Ok then, if it means that much to you. But no VIP section, yes?"
"I guarantee"
"Ok" she smiled and caressed his cheek. He kissed her cheek
"see you soon baby"

Some time later Maria and Harmony met Rafa and his team in the club. Harmony told Rafa where they would seat so he could look out for them.
"Ok good luck baby." She kissed him and caressed his hair.
"Thankyou baby" he replied as he held her waist.
"You're a campéon and that guy is a…is a nobody!"
"Harmony?!" Maria replied.
"What everyone is thinking it! Even if this is supposed to be your worst surface you know damn well you can beat that guy with one hand behind your back" "Harmony, every match is difficult, is tough.."
"Oh please! Save all that nonsense for the post match interview" she replied and he laughed.
"Ok you have to go now" he kissed her and pushed them out the room.

Maria and Harmony sat a good few seats away from the VIP section. There were blending in with the crowd so Harmony felt comfortable. Rafa came out on court and everybody started cheering. She stood and shouted..
"THAT'S MY BABY" then she cursed herself for not remembering to shut up!
"It's alright, nobody heard" Maria replied. Harmony looked at a girl staring at her; she was obviously suspicious of her. Maybe she had seen her and Rafa together. Maria and Harmony watched Rafa warm up.
"Oh my god my man is so hot, hein?" Harmony smiled arrogantly.
"His ass looks so good in those shorts, um"
"Oh please" Maria replied.
"Please what?"
"His ass is too damn big! I prefer my Feli's ass. Your man probably has trouble finding pants that fit"
"You wish your man had this problem" Harmony smiled.
"Oh please"
"You also wish he had those biceps"
"Pfttt"
"And those legs….and those.."
"Harmony I am this close to slapping you" She replied through gritted teeth. "Solly."

Rafa was 1 set down and he wasn't looking like he was going to win the second set. Kendrick's game was just too damn good and he made Rafa look like he was the number 276th in the world.
"Oh my god oh my god oh my god, this is all my fault! Toni warned me, and if I didn't do what I did to Rafa yesterday he would've been fine" Harmony cried. "Oh relax it's not your fault! Actually I'm not sure. Feli and I always have sex and he always looses" Maria replied with a confused look on her face. She made Harmony feel worst..
"OH gawwddd what have I done?" she cried.
"GAME-SET AND SECOND SET, KENDRICK" was announced.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Harmony cried dramatically.

"I can't believe he's about to lose this because of meee! OMG!"
"Calm down Harmony, there's still hope. Relax. He will notice you are nervous and that will be even worst."
She looked at Rafa. He was lost. She felt he didn't have guns to fight that American.
"OH NO! I KNOW HE WILL LOSE THIS AND ALL MY FAULT!"
She watched the next sets in silent and was relieved when Rafa won the 5th set in a tiebreak.
"This was too much for me. I'm going home! Are you coming with me?"
"Sure, but don't you prefer to wait for Rafa?"
"No. I'm feeling so guilty, I'm ashamed to look at him." she blushed and began to walk towards the gates.

"Harmony, we need to talk!" uncle Toni said with a severe expression.
"Tio… you're not…?
"Yes, I am! Come with me." he grabbed Harmony's arm and lead her to her room. He slammed the door behind him and made her sit on the bed.
"What have I told you yesterday? DID YOU BOTHER TO LISTEN A WORD I SAID?" he shouted. She had never seen Uncle Toni so angry and she felt bad because of it.
"Solly. I didn't control myself, I promise next time I will…"
"There won't be a next time! I want you to leave soon. Look, your presence is disturbing Rafael and I want him to do his best this year and with you around that's not possible. I want you back in France by tomorrow."
Harmony frowned. Who was he to tell her what to do? And wasn't Rafa big enough to take his own decisions? To know what was best for him?
"FINE!"
"Harmony, it's not against you. I just have to look out for Rafa interests and it's clear that with you around him, he won't do nothing he wants to do."
"I SAID FINE!" she shouted. Harmony was mad at Uncle Toni. He didn't like her since the beginning, well he didn't like any woman that came across Rafa's way. Uncle Toni walked out and Harmony grabbed her bags and started packing. She heard a soft knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Solly baby. I didn't want this…"
"You didn't? So why do you let him take decisions for you? Are you 12 or what?" she said bitchily.
"Harmony?"
She looked at him and noticed the tears in his eyes. She felt her heart sinking. "Awww, don't cry. I'm sorry. I'm just upset because I have to leave you and I don't want to." She was shedding some tears as well. They looked deep into each other eyes. She sat on bed and Rafa did the same. She wiped a strand of hair from his face and kissed his lips. Rafa jumped on top of her and started taking her clothes off.
"Stop. I don't want to feel guilty again. It was awful." She said pulling him away. "I don't have any match tomorrow." He smiled.
"Are you sure, it's okay?"
He simply nodded and brought her back on top of him.
"Just do that thing I love…" he said with a grin. She looked at him in a sexy way and then smiled.
"I love you!"
