you and joao had been dating for over a year now, almost two, it was barely noticeable at first. you were a very cute girl, obsessed with pink, brandy melville and everything makeup involved, very well oriented and playful yet mature and sorted.

it was just an instagram follow, then your stuff was spotted in one of his short youtube vlogs when he was still playing football at chelsea, then people started seeing you two in public.

you kept very private. when people started bombarding your once small social media accounts, you never really answered questions, not wanting things to go public on your terms, but respecting his personal wishes, since his last very public relationship went wrong.

though he was pretty public about his love for you, he could still be cautious at times, never really showing your full face out of fear of people saying mean things about you, even though you were gorgeous, people always found things to comment about.

it was a pretty cold day, the two of you were in amsterdam, stopping by cute stores, him holding your bags for you, ofcourse, but also keeping a hand free to hold yours. until a little kid came up and asked him for a picture, he looked at you longingly, as if asking if it was okay with you.
