warnings: no smut just plot (smut in the next part i promise) 2k+ word count
You get back to Ana’s apartment and it’s quiet and dark. You don’t even bother turning the lights off you hang up your keys and head to the guest bedroom you’re staying in.
You hop in the shower quickly before putting on a big t shirt and heading to bed. Out of curiosity you turned on your phone and opened google.
You searched Fc Barcelona Alexia
The results were… wow.
You found yourself going through the images tab and reading her description. There was an instagram account link. You couldn’t help but click on it.
Holy 3 million followers.
You basically stalked her whole profile for an embarrassing amount of time, being blown away by all the awards and trophies she’s won. You finally put your phone down when you realized what time it was. You had to stop thinking about her.
But how could you when that was the best sex you’ve had in a long time.
The next morning you wake up to noise in the kitchen. Ana must be up and getting ready to go to the gym, she always goes on weekend mornings.
You have to get some work done so you decide to head to a coffee shop and do some work there.
You throw on some jeans and a t shirt, grab your laptop and leave your bedroom.
But what you see in your kitchen is a surprise.
Ana is making breakfast and one of Alexia’s friends from last night was sitting on one of the stools from the kitchen island.
“Oh, Hi y/n I didn’t hear you come in last night,” Ana asks, just as shocked as you are.
Alexia’s friend flashes you an awkward smile.
“Yeah sorry I got back pretty late,” you respond which adds more awkwardness to the air. “Well, I’m heading out so have fun.” You smile as you grab your house keys and head out.
You put on your headphones and walk towards the coffee shop you saw that looked cute.
It was a beautiful day in Barcelona, as always. You were considering moving here since your job is work from home and you’re tired of the rainy weather back home. And, it would help you be farther away from her.
You reach the coffee shop and order your drink before claiming a small round table and get to work. You’re the social media manager of a new language learning app so your work today was mostly research, looking into new trends and what catches people’s eye.
But then something catches your eye.
Or someone.
Shit.
There’s Alexia, in line for a coffee, with another one of the girls from last night.
You try to pretend you didn’t see her and continue work. You focus on your work and the Fletcher song you love playing in your headphones.
You suddenly see Alexia standing in front of your table holding her coffee. “Mind if I sit here?” she asks.
You wanted to say no but you didn’t want to be rude. “Sure,” you said as politely as possible without trying to incite anything.
You try your best to ignore her and continue your work, but you can feel her staring at you. You look up at her from your laptop.
“Why are you ignoring me?” She asks, clearly annoyed.
“Because I came here to do my job not chit chat.” you realized you snapped at her a beat too late. Her face flashed with anger. “I’m sorry, I’m just not in the best mood.” you try to salvage the situation.
“No, I mean clearly you couldn’t wait to leave yesterday so I don’t know what happened because according to… you know… you seemed like you had a good time.” she presses.
You take a deep breath before answering. “I did have a good time,” you pause, “but if I’m being honest, I just wanted a one night thing to distract me from- well it doesn’t matter from what.” you shake off the mopey feeling creeping back up.
She looks confused. “Ok, I don’t fully understand but I respect your boundaries.” she states but she doesn’t get up.
You look at her just as confused. She finally starts to get up but before she leaves she leans in and whispers, “Oh and you left your strap in my apartment,” she winks. “and your hair looks really good down like that.” she smiles as she walks away.
You hide the blush her comment made you get by taking a sip of your coffee. You finally get back to work.
You’re packing up your stuff after a few hours doing some work and your phone dings.
Thinking it was Ana you pick up your phone immediately.
[instagram] @alexiaputellas has started following you
You scoff at your phone. You ignore it and put your phone away. How did she even find your profile anyway?
You walk out of the coffee shop and head back with the intention to just relax for a few hours and maybe go grab some dinner with Ana.
Your phone dings again.
[instagram] @alexiaputellas “when do you plan on picking up your things 😉”
You can’t help but smile because clearly she wanted to see you again, very badly. But you still felt like she wanted something more that you didn’t want.
You ignored the message again for now and headed home with Ana.
You walk in the door and see Ana sitting on the couch watching tv.
“Hey,” you say as you kick your shoes off.
“Hey where’d you go?” she asks.
You set your bag on the counter and head over to sit next to her. “I went to the coffee shop to do some work,” you reply nonchalantly.
She looks at you for a beat. “Are you ok? You seemed off this morning. And also why were you here this morning weren’t you going home with Alexia?” her voice came off teasing at the sound of Alexia’s name.
“Yeah I’m fine, I did go home with her but decided it was best not to stay.” you replied trying to end the conversation.
“Well, what was it?” she asks, “Was she… bad?” she whispered jokingly.
You laughed softly, “No, she was… great,” you smile.
“Sooo… what was it?” she asks, clearly genuinely interested.
You take a beat to think about what to say, “Well, I don’t know. I feel like staying would insinuate that I wanted more than just a one night thing and you know I’m not looking for anything right now, not so soon after.. you know who.” you look down sadly.
“You can say her name you know… she’s not
voldemort,” Ana laughs, “and I understand, and I’m sorry about the whole thing with Ona this morning, I didn’t mean for it to be awkward.”
You laugh, “It’s ok. So how was that?” you tease.
“Really good,” she smiles. “Oh and she asked if we wanted to go to a party she’s having tomorrow?” she slips in quickly.
“Oh god I don’t know, Alexia’s probably gonna be there isn’t she?” you ask worriedly. The last thing you needed was seeing her again.
“Oh come on, I don’t want to go by myself and I like her. If you see her you can just ignore her, flirt with another one of her friends, let her know you don’t want anything for sure,” she begs, “Please? for me?” she begs like a small child.
You think about it for a second, “Fine.”
Ana practically jumps for joy and kisses your forehead, “Thank you thank you. It’ll be fun I promise,” she runs over to grab her phone, presumably to text Ona and let her know we’re coming.
You get comfortable on the couch and put on an episode of Modern Family before you and Ana sat on the small table in the kitchen eating some leftover Paella from a few nights ago, still as good as new.
After eating you decide to go to bed early, needing to catch up on sleep. When you get in bed you open instagram and once again are reminded of Alexia’s message.
And the fact that you hadn’t followed her back.
You were too tired to do anything about this—smartly at least.
You ignored it again for now and went to bed.
The next morning you wake up dreading this party— and that was an understatement.
But you had to get up to get some
work done.
You get up and sit yourself on the couch with a cup of coffee. You didn’t bother to change out of your pajamas since you had no meetings today.
You spent the next few hours designing posts for the company and diving into instagram looking for potential trends for promoting the company more.
By the time you’ve almost driven yourself mad, your computer is about to die and it’s almost time to clock out. You go to grab your charger but your phone pings.
You turn around to grab it and see the notification from instagram.
[Instagram] @alexiaputellas “can’t wait to see you tonight.”
You scoff and ignore the message. You grab your computer charger and plug it into your laptop.
Your phone dings again.
[Instagram] @alexiaputellas “you can’t keep ignoring me you know?”
You smiled at the message and continued to ignore it.
After a little bit, you finished work and started to get ready since the party was in a few hours.
You started to realize you feel a little excited to see Alexia. You like the attention.
And as long as you don’t let it get any further, there’s no harm in a little fun.
You just had to make sure it was just for fun.
You were finishing getting doing your makeuo when you heard Ana get back from work.
“Hi babe, how are you?” she called from the living room.
“Good, just getting ready!” you called back.
You hear her footsteps getting closer to you before she enters the bathroom that you’re in. “Sorry it took me so long to get back we’ll probably be late to the party,” she said. She looked at you and your almost finished makeup, “You look really hot for someone who doesn’t want to go to this party.”
You laugh as if what she said was ridiculous, “Oh please. I just don’t want to be caught underdressed,” you joked.
“One thing is not being underdressed and another thing is looking like you want Alexia to fuck you senseless again,” she teases.
Your face goes red, “When did I say anything about senseless?” you laugh.
“Oh you don’t have to tell me. I know,” she whispers as she leaves to go get ready.
You look at yourself in the mirror thinking maybe you are overdressing.
You decided to wear a red tank top that showed just enough cleavage to not be too showy but not modest. You wore your low rise, black jeans that fit you so well and you know you look really good in them. You decided to add a belly chain to the outfit to make it look even better. You decided to keep your hair down for the night.
You convinced yourself this hair decision had nothing to do with Alexia’s comment in the coffee shop the other day.
When Ana is done getting ready you order an uber to come pick you up and you wait until it arrives. You grab your bag and your keys and you and Ana head out the door.
When you’re in the uber you find yourself mindlessly scrolling through instagram and you end up going through the barca femenil squad instagram.
Just to see who may all be at the party, not to look at pictures of Alexia.
When you get there you get out of the uber and realize, this is the same building Alexia’s apartment is in. Figures that they live in the same building.
Unwanted memories of the other night come flooding back.
You shake off the warm feeling in your body as you walk into the building.
You can hear music from the entrance and you assume that’s coming from the party.
You head up the stairs and reach the apartment where the party noise is coming from. Ana knocks on the door a d a few seconds later Ona opens the door.
“Hi,” she hugs Ana then gestures for both of you to come in, “Come in” she smiles.
You walk in and in no surprise, most of the women there are all extremely fit and definitely fellow footballers. You spot Alexia in the kitchen talking to someone else. You pretend you didn’t see her as you said hi to the others.
Ana sits down to where Ona is sitting and Ona offers to grab both of you something to drink. You taker her up on her offer and ask for a rum and coke.
You sit down on the end of the couch no one seems to be taking up.
You mindlessly switch from paying attention to the conversations around you and not. You’re happy Ana seems to be having a good time but you’re a little bored.
That is, before someone sits next to you.
This woman is FIT.
Brown hair with dyed blonde highlights and an energy that exuded so much confidence it was intimidating.
She’s wearing a tight white t shirt and some dark blue pinstripe low rise jeans, with some boxers
peaking above them.
“Hola,” she says to you, her eyes quickly rake down your body and back up. “I’m Misa, nice to meet you.”
She extends a hand for you to shake, you smile a little before grabbing her hand and shaking it lightly. “I’m y/n, nice to meet you too.”
She smiles at you, “So, how do you know Ona?” she asks.
Not wanting to tell her the full truth, you said, “Oh, Ana’s my best friend,” you gesture toward where they’re sitting.
“Lovely,” she teases. You can feel her slowly inching closer to you.
“So, do you play on the barcelona team as well?” you ask her, subconsciously hoping Alexia is watching this conversation, you try to be more into this conversation.
“No,” she smiles, “I play for Madrid but I’m friends with most of these girls from the Spanish national team. I’m here visiting.”
Misa was about to say something else,
but you can feel Alexia watching you from your peripheral and something took over you.
You quickly break the distance between you and Misa and kiss her. You can feel her surprise at first but she slowly deepens the kiss as her hand wanders to your thigh. You break apart from the kiss after what felt like hours.
“Can I get you another drink?” she asks you softly.
“Yes please,” you smile. She grabs your empty glass off of the table and heads to the bar to refresh your drink.
Immediately as she’s gone you feel someone else sit next to you.
You turn to see Alexia. She looks… mad. But why would she be mad? You guys aren’t together.
“Hi Alexia,” you say blankly.
“Hi,” she says flatly, “why have you been ignoring me?”
“Who says I’m ignoring you?” you snap back.
“You, right now.” she bites back. “Why are you acting like this? Did I do something?” now she seems worried.
You sigh and look down for a moment.
You think about what to say for a moment.
You put your hand on her thigh. You look at her and your eyes darken. She looks really good and you hadn’t noticed from how much you were trying to pretend she wasn’t there.
“We can keep doing this,” you point between the two of you, your voice lowers, “if you promise, there are no feelings. This is just for fun. Because I am not ready for a relationship,” You say blatantly.
She seems a little taken aback at first but then her eyes darken. “Ok,” she pauses for a moment. She leans in to kiss you. It’s a soft kiss but slow. Painfully slow. She pulls away and whispers, “Meet me in my apartment in 30 minutes,” before getting up and heading out the door.
You realize you don’t remember which apartment is hers.
Shit.

Second Chances
Beetlejuice x Lydia Deetz
Part 1 link
(Contains spoilers for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice⚠️)
Chapter 4
A couple days had passed since Lydia found out about true love’s kiss and unfortunately for her, Astrid couldn’t find anything further on the subject. She even resorted to googling it, but nothing came up except for some old Disney cartoons.
Betelgeuse even noticed something was up. Not only had he caught them in a couple of whispered conversations but also Lydia had been acting different towards him. He thought they were getting pretty close, but the past couple of days she seemed very distant and even a little cranky but only towards him.
So, in an attempt to get back in Lydia’s good graces, he decided he was going to make her a special dinner. As he cooked, he sang and danced around the kitchen while listening to some old Harry Belefonte songs which could be heard throughout the entire house. Luckily for him, Lydia wasn’t home at the moment and wouldn’t be bothered. Astrid on the other hand, was trying to study and found Betelgeuse’s singing very distracting. After about half an hour she couldn’t take it anymore. She closed her notebook and stormed downstairs into the kitchen, pushing the door wide open as she went.
“BJ! What are you doing?” She snapped, suddenly turning off the music.
“Oh hi Astrid! Didn’t know you were home. I’m making you and your mother dinner.” He answered her as he wiped his hands on his “kiss the cook” apron.
“You?” Astrid scoffed raising her eyebrows skeptically.
“What? You think I don’t know how to cook?” Betelgeuse asked turning to face her, feeling slightly offended.
She had to admit it did smell pretty good.
“Why?” She asked peering over his shoulder at the stove trying to see what he was making.
“Well, before I became the guy we all know and love today I was a bachelor and—“ He began, but Astrid interrupted.
“No, I meant why are you cooking us dinner?” She corrected herself.
“Can’t I do something nice for you guys?”
She raised her eyebrows again at him and folded her arms. Betelgeuse sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. “Ok, Im just trying to get your mom to stop being mad at me.” He admitted. “She’s been acting all weird towards me lately.”
Astrid bit her lip, knowing why he mother had been acting that way. It was because of the whole true love’s kiss thing. She suddenly felt bad for him. He was actually being kind of sweet.
“Anything I can do to help?” She asked unfolding her arms.
Betelgeuse smiled, he hadn’t expected her to offer to help him.
“Well uh, can you dice up this onion for me? You wouldn’t want to see a grown man cry right?” He joked, making a knife appear out of thin air.
Astrid snorted at his joke and took the knife. Maybe he wasn’t so bad after all. She thought to herself as she quietly chopped the onion as he had asked.
Later, dinner was all ready and the table was set. Betelgeuse paced back and forth nervously waiting for Lydia to return home. He just hoped this worked, if not he didn’t know what would.
Suddenly, he heard the lock click and then the front door open. This was it. He thought heading into the entryway. “Hi, BJ!” She greeted him, unbuttoning her coat.
“Here let me help you with that.” Betelgeuse insisted as he suddenly appeared behind her and helped her slip out of her snow covered coat.
“Oh! Thanks!” She said surprised. Why was he being so nice? She wondered.
“Cmon, got dinner all ready for ya.” He told her, holding his arm out to escort her to the dining room. She eyed him suspiciously, but went along with it anyways.
He took her to the dining room and pulled out a chair for her and Astrid, then eventually sat down himself at the end of the table. “Hope you like it!” He said snapping his fingers making the bowl of pasta hover in the air as though an invisible waiter were serving them. Lydia and Astrid watched as their plates filled with spaghetti and meatballs. She looked down at the plate and examined it for a moment. It looked normal enough. She thought. No worms or other things in it that she could see.
Betelgeuse anxiously waited for her to take a bite first hoping she approved. She took a deep breath as she twisted her fork around the pasta and took a tiny bite. “Well?” He asked somewhat impatiently leaning forward. Even Astrid was started to feel nervous.
“It’s good!” Lydia finally answered nodding her head. He let out a sigh of relief and sat back in his chair. Astrid gave him a thumbs up from across the table making him smile.
They ate quietly enjoying their meal listening to some jazz playing softly in the background. Something about this wasn’t right. It was a little too nice, too normal for Betelgeuse. Lydia just couldn’t shake the feeling that he was up to something. Placing her fork down she turned to face him.
“Why are you being so nice? What do you want?” Lydia asked narrowing her eyes at him.
“Nothing. I just wanted to do something for ya.” He answered her honestly. Astrid stopped eating and looked up at them. She could feel the room suddenly become intense.
“You never do something unless there’s something in it for you. What do you want?” She asked again in a low serious tone.
“Nothing! Honestly babes!” Betelgeuse repeated throwing his hands up.
She shook her head and pushed the plate away. “Don’t lie to me Beetlejuice!” She hissed making him flinch.
“Mom!” Astrid gasped.
“What the fuck is your problem?!” Betelgeuse yelled at her.
“You! It’s always something with you!” She snapped standing up, Betelgeuse following suit.
“It’s not this time! I’m just trying to make you happy.” He insisted.
“Mom…stop!” Astrid said pulling on her mother’s sleeve trying to calm her down.
“You want to make me happy? Leave me alone! Stop trying to marry me! I’m not your true love! I can’t change you back. So just do yourself a favor and go find somebody else to haunt!”
“What?” Betelgeuse stood there dumbfounded, not believing what he just heard. How did she know about that?
Without another word, she left the room, her footsteps could be heard heading up the stairs and slowly fading away as she disappeared into her room.
“BJ…” Astrid began, but he didn’t want to hear it. With a puff of smoke, he was gone too leaving her sitting there alone.
She had to tell him. About the book, about true love’s kiss, everything. If he came back…
