002|Nico Paz

For a few days, Nico had been away in England playing a match with his current team, Real Madrid. He had promised _______ that he would bring her back a gift. However, he was so caught up in training and giving his best for his team that he completely forgot to pick up a small present for his girlfriend. At least he managed to buy a small box of chocolates, but the problem was that he felt embarrassed to give it to _____. He felt that she deserved something more, not just some simple sweets.

When ______ greeted him at home, he gave her a nervous, loving smile. Of course, he had missed her, but he was afraid of being judged for the gift she had brought.

"Yes, I missed you, love.... Mmm... You know...? About the gift... I..." Nico cursed himself internally for not being able to tell her how he felt.
