“ITS ALL MY FAULT”
By CLG
———————————————————————————————
You absolutely loved football however the stress that came with it was not very pretty.
Due to the score between liverpool and Chelsea the game had to be settled by penalties which had everyone in Wembley at the edge of their seats. Throughout the game you’d watch Mason try his absolute best alongside getting angry & frustrated but that’s what made him so special when it came to games because he put his all into it. Unfortunately for Mason his family couldn’t make the game so yourself and Sophia were in the stands together as you both cheered for Chelsea the entire 90+ minutes, although Kai wasn’t playing Sophia still supported the boys regardless.

The final whistle had blew which indicated that the pens were about to start, you were absolutely terrified as you knew both teams had a very good chance of winning. Since Mason had played for 90 minutes and extra time you assumed that tuchel would of took him off and subbed On one of the other boys to take the pen but you were wrong, this only caused your heart to beat a bit faster and your breaths to become heavier. Masons luck with penalties wasnt the greatest but you knew that Mason was always up for a challenge, you hadn’t felt this sick to your stomach over penalties until the disaster that happened at the euros and you really didn’t want history repeating itself mainly for masons sake as he had lost every final he’s played at Wembley & this being the 6th you hoped to god that he’d strike lucky.
You and Sophia both stood up as you watched Jorginho walk up to take his pen in fear, you both linked arms with one another and slightly prayed for the ball to hit the back of the net. The intensity was through the roof as everyone watched jorgi take a couple steps back as he prepared to launch his right leg at the ball, you shut your eyes and hoped for the best and when you heard the sound of the chelsea fans around you roaring with triumph you knew jorgi had scored successfully which made you and Sophia to jump up and down in excitement. “My heart nearly came out my arse Jesus Christ” you sighed in relief as you grabbed onto Sophia’s hand due to your nerves, “penalties raise my blood pressure way too much” she joked as her thick German accent made you giggle.
As the penalty shoot out continued emotions were running high as edou had missed his opportunity to save 2 from the liverpool boys which only stressed out you and Sophia even more. As you looked down on the pitch you could see the boys all gripping onto eachother as they watched Mason take centre stage to take the most important pen which would put us in the lead against liverpool, you couldn’t believe that he actually wanted to do it knowing how nervous he was for the game earlier in the morning before you both parted ways “is that..” Sophia pointed as she flashed you a worried look “mmhm guilty as charged, I can’t believe that he’s actually going to do it” you stared long and hard at masons back with your hand over your mouth as he confidentially walked up to the position with his whole chest and ego infront of him. “Cmon baby boy” you quietly whispered to yourself as you held your hands together in a prayer like position while you watched your boyfriend take one of the biggest chances he’s ever took in his career.
Mason took a couple steps back and took his stance, he inhaled heavily as he took a deep breath before thinking about which side of the net he’d want to try and hit to get past the goalie. As the moment of truth came Mason did his usual routine, he ran towards the ball and positioned his right foot to take a good swing at the ball and in that moment you closed your eyes until you heard everyone around you make comments about Mason which only meant the worst…He’d missed the pen. You saw him raise his hands to cover his eyes as he was walking away from the stand looking defeated and so angry at himself, he pulled up his top to cover his eyes once he moved his hands from his face not wanting anyone or the cameras to see his face which was something Mason tended to do whenever he was annoyed or upset. You’d be lying if you said the sight of your boyfriend looking absolutely gutted didn’t kill you inside as you knew how much Mason wanted to make the fans and the club proud by being the reason for them securing the FA Cup however after masons missed penalty everyone just knew what to expect as the FA cup title was left in one of the liverpool boys’s hands. It was all down to him to make this penalty for liverpool to be the FA cup champions which yourself and all the other Chelsea fans did not want but sadly things didn’t go the way you all had hoped….mendy had missed the boys shot towards him and liverpool had won the FA Cup and the worst part about all of this was to witness themselves and their fans celebrate their success as Wembley was painted red and white whilst the chelsea boys and Mason sulked and cried in defeat. “That’s fucking bullshit” you said as you huffed in anger while you and Sophia watched the liverpool fans in envy as they sang the famous ‘one kiss’ by dua lipa. “It is bullshit indeed but cmon let’s go see our boys I think they need us right now” Sophia held your hand as you both grabbed your bags and headed towards the very front stand which was next to the pitch.

You scanned the pitch for Mason as you saw him crouched down on his knees just taking in the surroundings knowing that he had a million thoughts running through his mind. You’d asked the security if you were allowed to hop over to go and grab him and as so he granted your request so you ran over to Mason and lightly placed your arms round his shoulders and neck as you placed a comforting kiss on the top of his sweaty head“baby” you whispered in hopes that he’d reply “please don’t” his voice broke as he spoke “regardless of what just happened myself and everyone else are still so proud of you mase” you embraced him a little tighter as you placed another kiss on his head. Mason kept quiet as you continued to hold him whilst he soaked up your small words of wisdom, “it’s all my fault” he whispered as he shook his head at his failure and wiped a tear away from his bright red cheeks “No No No No NO I’ll accept you being upset over the loss mase but one thing I won’t accept is you pinning the blame on yourself !” You let go of him as you walked round to take a seat on the wet pitch to face him “this is nobodies fault mase, you guys played brilliantly but unfortunately that’s just football..you know this better than I do”. He looked at you with teary eyes as he slowly nodded in agreement “I know y/n but if I-” you raised your finger to his lip to cut him off as you knew that he was going to critic his own performance and use that as an excuse “No buts Mason…you all did your best and at the end of the day that’s all that matters, yes we wish that things could of ended up differently but in this life we can’t always get what we want no matter how rich we are or how many outstanding players you guys have…what’s not for you won’t go by you baby” you gently placed your hands on both side of his cheeks as you brought him in for a sweet kiss “I love you so so much ok” you whispered as you looked into his sweet brown eyes “and I love you more…I better go but I’ll see you at home yeah” he flashed his pleading eyes towards you and you nodded towards him letting him know that he’d see the sight of you the second he arrived and with that you both got up and kissed one another one last time before you ran back to the stands to leave the stadium with Sophia.

Once you had arrived home you noticed that Mason wasn’t back yet due to the empty drive way so you decided that you wanted to surprise him with a little pick me up after todays loss. You made your way towards the bedrooms en suite to run him a relaxing bubble bath and then you’d lit a few scented candles just to set the mood, after all the running around he did you knew his muscles would be tired so you thought he’d appreciate the effort. You then unspread the bed and put the decoration pillows in the corner of the room, after that you’d unmade the covers and fluffed them up a little so that after his bath you both could dive straight into bed and get lost in each others arms.
Whenever Mason had his bad days you felt as if it was your duty to try do everything in your power to make him feel better even if it was a little bit, Mason being the loving boyfriend that he was already did way too much for you and it was only right that the same energy was returned but even at that you’d still do it regardless of the situation simply because you truly believed that Mason was the love of your life. It was no secret that you both had previously had small talk about marriage and children alongside pretend baby names and although most of the time the conversations weren’t as serious little parts of you took them seriously, you knew that there wasn’t another man on this earth who could make you feel the way that he did.
Your tasking was interrupted by the sound of the front door opening and shutting “babe…I’m back” the sound of masons quiet yet tired voice rang through the halls of the house as he called for you “I’m upstairs baby” you shouted back letting him know where to find you. You’d quickly closed the bathroom door to let the steam and the candle scent take over the four walls and you dimmed the bedroom light as you waited for him to come up.
“What you doing in the dark babe” he questioned as he slightly laughed at your cheesy grin.
“I was getting us ready for bed time actually” you smiled as you grabbed his wrists bringing him further into the room “cmon take your clothes off” you took his wash bag out his hand and placed it on the unit and then you ran behind his back and took his usual goyard backpack off and placed it next to his wash bag.
“Someone’s eager… I only saw you two hours ago” Mason smirked as he laughed at your tiny self running around the room to get him comfortable.
“Awk go away Mason I’m not horny this time…I just wanted to do something nice for you after the day you’ve had” you intertwined your hands together as you led him towards the bathroom “I ran you a bath and I lit some candles to help you relax and y’know get your mind off things” you looked up at him as he smiled in awe at your little presentation “Oh and look ! I even fluffed up the bed covers and your pillows so that after your bath we can just jump into bed and be all cosy & what not” you shyly said as you stood innocently next to the bed and waited for his response only to find Mason leaning against the bathroom door frame with his hands in his jogger pockets with a smile that you loved so much wiped across his face.
“C’mere you” mason softly said as he made his way towards you, he took a seat at the edge of the bed and patted his thighs which was an invitation for you to straddle his broad from and sit on his lap which you did. “How did a geezer like me end up with such a sweetheart of a girl like you huh” Mason wrapped his strong arms round your waist as he looked into your eyes with so much love and admiration which caused your shyness to act up again making you hide your face in his chest for a second until you were not so red in the face anymore “because a geezer like you is the reason I wake up with the biggest smile on my face every morning and every night” you dragged your left hand through his freshly cut hair and tickled the back of his neck which caused Mason to relax
“you didn’t have to do all this though babe, a quick shower and you laid next to me in bed would of been more than fine”
“But this wasn’t just another day for a quick shower mase…I know how much it meant to you winning the FA cup and I know I can’t turn back Time or take away that horrible feeling that you and all the boys probably have lingering in your minds but what I can do is just be the most supporting girlfriend ever, even if that means doing little things like this to bring back that smile that I love so much back on your face then I’m first in line to do so”
Mason took in your sweet words as he tried to find the words to say, his eyes got a bit glossy as he just looked at your pure eyes that were filled with nothing but love and good intentions for him… “I honestly don’t deserve you y/n…I just can’t wrap my head round how someone can be so perfect” Mason had now moved your little strands of baby hairs out your face and tucked them behind your ears as he went to caress the side of your face “I just cost my club the fucking FA Cup and I felt absolutely horrid all day…but now I’m here back home with the most special girl in the world and That horrid feeling is just gone and I don’t know how but…you just make everything better”
“That’s one of my jobs as your girlfriend mase….your bad days are my bad days and your loses are my loses too” you connected both your lips together with a sweet kiss as you wanted to give him extra reassurance “we’re in this together and I never want you to feel the way you did today ever again”
“I’m grateful that you think that way but babe the last thing I want is you running around after me, I’m a big boy y’know I can take care of myself and I’m supposed to be the man of the house so how can I be the boss when I’m behaving like the baby ay” you and Mason both laughed at his silly comparison “I can’t be your husband and the father to your kids if I get too used to the baby treatment after bad games babe”
“Well when those days come I’ll lay off but until then you’re my big baby…although if you could speed up the husband part that would be great because I’m doing Wifey material things day in and day out but I’m on a girlfriends salary ?! Fix up mount” you slapped his chest as you both joked with eachother to lift up the dull mood from the game earlier.
“Keep fluffing my pillows every night then you might wake up with a big rock on your left hand who knows” he raised his bushy eyebrows whilst he shrugged his shoulders and pretended to act dumb. “All jokes aside though…I really do love you y/n and I know I always will…yes I joke about being your husband and stuff all the time but behind the jokey side of things I’m being serious. I can’t imagine my future without you in it and I don’t want to, hand on heart in my entire life I’ve never had someone like you to really be behind my back 110% ! You show up to all the games that you can even if it means taking days off or coming straight after work, you cook for me and do my washing and ironing even though you really shouldn’t because you do enough… you clean up, you make sure my bloody skins correct and you remind me about haircuts and all of the above and yet you still don’t ask for a single thing in return besides my love and honesty and that to me is just remarkable…if you asked me to kiss the ground that you walk on I’d do it in a heartbeat because I’ve got you the same way you’ve got me” your eyes began to tear up as you watched Mason pour his heart out to you, you knew that his emotions were still sky high after the game but you didn’t mind at all because you finally got to hear him say that he sees you in his future permanently “I know that I’m busy most of the time with work and stuff but there’s not a shadow of doubt in my mind that could stop me from going above and beyond for the love of my life or should I say my future wife”
At this point you were happily sobbing… “you really mean that” you questioned cautiously.
“Every.single.word.” He said confidently as he smiled while he wiped your salty tears of happiness away. “I might be shit at pens but I’ll never ever lack in being your protector and a good loving boyfriend towards you” he placed a kiss on your lips & forhead “you’re my entire world and I can’t thank you enough for being my little shoulder to cry on when I need you the most”
“I love you Mason” you laughed as you helped him wipe some of your tears away and shortly after that Mason had placed you down on the bed as he striped down naked and headed towards the bathroom to enjoy his relaxing bath, while he did that you’d got yourself ready for bed and sat scrolling through your phone as you waited patiently to hurry yourself in his arms.

The following morning you’d woken up to an empty bed and No Mason in sight, you’d tiredly patted his side of the bed to search for his warm topless body but all you felt was the cool bedsheets against your skin. You’d sat up and stretched your tired body as you went to reach for your phone only to find a little white note with your name on it, so out of curiosity you turned it round to read the message that was left.
Morning Babe ! We got called in today for recovery so I’ll be home around 12 but until then take your pretty self downstairs..I got you a little something - M x
You smiled from ear to ear as you yanked the covers off your body and ran downstairs to hunt for your mystery surprise that Mason had gotten you so You headed into the kitchen only to be met by the most beautiful set of flowers laid on your counter top.
The sight of the bouquet made you gasp due to how stunning they were and you couldn’t help but continue smiling and feeling so smitten over Mason and his romantic gesture. You noticed another white note inside the bouquet so you grabbed it out and read it
These are to say thank you for being the best girlfriend/wifey that a man could ask for. Pretty flowers for a pretty woman. I love you y/n - M x
You sent him a quick text so that when he finished his recovery training he’d see that you absolutely loved his gift. You couldn’t help but just stare at the pretty plants infront of you and think about how lucky you were to have Mason as yours. You giggled as you reminisced the amount of times he had tried to ask you out and all the times you’d told him no as you thought that he was just another rich footballer who’s far up his own arse….but you were glad that you were wrong and you were even more glad that he didn’t give up trying until he made you his.
Love really does work in mysterious ways.
