#. Lamine Yamal

The whistle had sounded loud and clear, bringing the game to a complete stop.

You approached to see what had happened, you saw Laporte lying on the ground, hugging his right foot, your gaze went straight to Lamine

When Lamine saw you, he knew he had made a serious mistake

•••

You had received an email from LaLiga, saying you had the job of refereeing a few matches, so you accepted

The only thing you didn't expect was to be the referee in the game your boyfriend was going to play, so when Lamine saw you on the field he stared at you for several seconds, astonished.

But you set yourself a rule, and that was that you weren't going to show favoritism to any team, even if that meant being impartial with the players.

And that included Lamine

•••

Barcelona was winning 1-0, thanks to a goal by Raphinha, and obviously they were going for more.

The ball reached Lamine's feet; he didn't hesitate and ran straight towards the goal, ready to score another goal or make a pass for a teammate to score.

Athletic weren't going to make it easy for him, and Laporte was the first to get in his way, all to block Lamine's path.

There was a bit of a struggle between them, all to see who would let the other pass or steal the ball; thanks to desperation, Lamine did something different from what he had planned to do

He made a sudden movement, causing Laporte to stagger; just as he regained his composure, he misstepped and didn't realize it until he heard his opponent groan.

That's where I heard the whistle and saw you approaching

•••

Lamine was explaining to you, saying that he was going for the ball and not Laporte, but he saw that you weren't changing your face or your posture, because you were still the same with your arms crossed.

That only made Lamine sigh and lower his guard; he couldn't stand the way you were looking at him.

"Honey, please, I didn't do it on purpose, don't give me a yellow card," Lamine murmured softly.
