One Day Left Until Serie A Season Opener
DB: *glaring*
ADP: *ignores*
DB: *glaring*
ADP: *clears throat; shifts in chair*
DB: *glaring*
ADP: That’s enough Dirtbunny. What’s going on?
DB: YOU SUCK, DEL PIERO.
ADP: We’ve been over this, sweetheart. The season starts tomorrow. I have a match on Sunday, and I have to go back. I’ve put it off as long as I could.
DB: *sniffles*
ADP: It’s only for a few weeks. I’ll be back soon. And when you move to Italia, it won’t have to be like this any more.
DB: What’s the point of moving to Italia if you’re just going to come here? Or Spain? Or China?
ADP: That will never happen. Stefano was just trying to scare the club.
DB: He scared me too. You should warn me before he goes to the press with stuff like that.
ADP: I will. I promise.
DB: Can’t Ciro tell people that you have a back injury for just a little longer?
ADP: Yes, but I need to play if I’m going to get back on the Azzurri.
DB: *whines*
ADP: One more Coppa del Mondo. I really want this.
DB: I know.
ADP: It’s really important to me.
DB: You look cute in Azzurri.
ADP: So I have to go.
DB: *whines*
ADP: It’s been a wonderful summer. One season, one Coppa del Mondo, and then all the summers after that.
DB: Oh Alessa *throws arms around him*
*bacio bacio bacio*
ADP: The hell with it. I’ll go for the game, then catch the red-eye out of Malpensa and be back here on Monday. Then the next match is in *flips through planner* Rome! Excellent! so I can fly there on Friday and get there Saturday for the match on Sunday. And I’ll skip the Lazio match with a “knee injury” so with the off week, we’ll have almost three weeks together.
DB: Not the knees! Lippi might not want to risk a slot to a guy with bad knees.
ADP: OK, the “flu” like everyone else when they take a week off.
DB: Oh baby, you can’t.
ADP: Sure I can. I’d rather be with you.
DB: You can’t. You have to be there. You’ve got training, pressers, charity stuff, photo shoots, like that horrible jewelry one that makes you look gay.
ADP: What?
DB: You know...... with all that weird makeup ...... oh never mind.
ADP: ?
DB: You need to work the image to make it difficult for Lippi to exclude you.
ADP: *sighs*
DB: You have to go. I’ll be OK.
ADP: I'm so lucky to have you.
DB: I know, baby, I know.
