Greatest Of All Legends

379  Boyfriend I

"Give it up for the new school!" *WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!* the raucous cheers of the viewers filled the room and it was significantly louder than the cheers that had been made a few seconds ago.

The "Make a Song" game was over and they had moved to the judging stage and from the clear disparity in cheers, it was clear that the crowd liked the new-school team's freestyle a lot more than the old school…

Or maybe the girls were just screaming in ecstasy because of Jason's face.

Jason however, had no way to know that and wasn't even thinking in that direction at all, rather he had a small smile on his face as he basked in the crowd's cheers that let him know that his team was the people's choice.

Contrary to his expectations, this had ended up being more fun than he thought, but it was also exhausting.

Unfortunately, he was merely starting his schedule and still had a lot of places to be in the next twenty-four hours.

**2:17 pm**

{Please fasten your seatbelts, we will be beginning our descent in five minutes} A mechanical-like voice came through the speakers and informed the passengers that they were already in Portuguese airspace and would soon be touching down.

Some were anticipating their arrival and quickly fastened their seat belts, while a select few remained uncaring as they skillfully fastened their seat belts, showing professional-like proficiency with the otherwise tricky harness.

As for Jason, he merely turned over his head and continued sleeping, completely unaware of what was going on around him, but his seatbelt was already fastened as he had expected something like this to happen.

After his hell of a schedule in LA that had him worrying about his mental health, Jason and Adele had finally gotten back on the plane heading back to Porto.

It didn't need to be said that he was exhausted and it wasn't a mild case of exhaustion, but rather a severe exhaustion and he had been sleeping through most of the flight, trying to rest and recuperate so that he didn't end up overly stressed and easily susceptible to injury.

However, despite his exhaustion, Jason felt quite fulfilled as he had done his part in the publication of the new company.

He had done quite a few over the last two days to increase his presence to the American people and so far, he had high hopes.

The shows and skits that he had made an appearance in hadn't been released to the general public yet as these shows usually required some hardcore editing to make everything look more attractive than it would in a live situation.

Jason didn't have a problem with it as he had been busy with the actual promotional shoot of Rosember's yet-to-be-released product.

Now after all that, he was finally going to be landing back in Porto to once again continue his journey towards becoming the greatest footballer ever…

'But before that…' Jason thought to himself as he opened his eyes after feeling the turbulence caused by the plane touching the surface of the earth.

Before he could fully return his focus to football, there was one more thing that needed addressing before tomorrow's training session and that was a serious conversation with Sofia.

Now that he was awake, he waited patiently for the pain to come to a stop and began deboarding along with the rest of the passengers.

Unlike when he had traveled to the USA two days ago with Adele, this time he was alone as she had to stay back to finish dealing with some matters concerning Rosember's launch.

At this point, she was already doing more than she was supposed to do for him and Jason appreciated it a lot.

As his agent, all she was supposed to do was make his life convenient by helping him settle negotiations with clubs as well as helping him settle things like endorsement deals with other companies.

Nothing like helping him to run a company was part of her duties, yet she was doing it without so much as asking for increased benefits and Jason knew this was something that couldn't be bought, yet at the same time, he was a bit confused as well.

Despite the lip-to-lip incident a few weeks back, they had seemingly kept their professional attitude with one another and not mentioned it anymore after that day, but for once in his life, Jason could sense underlying tension in their relationship.

Right from when they had met each other, Jason knew that Adele viewed him favorably, but as for how far that feeling went, Jason didn't know.

However now that they had kissed each other despite it being under the guise of an accident, Jason felt like something would soon change in their relationship and he didn't know whether he wanted it or not.

An accident would only remain an accident if the parties involved didn't read further into the matter and it was very clear that it was impossible for neither of them to read into the matter.

In fact, Jason suddenly had an inkling that the matter could turn into what was currently going on between him and Sofia… a cacophony of confusion.

He didn't need any more of those and even the one he had, he wanted it cleared up and that was his mission for the rest of the day.

Once he deboarded, he quickly headed to his car in the car park, threw his bags inside, ignited the car's engine, and zoomed out of the car park, heading to Lisbon.

Considering that he was just at an airport, he could have used a plane to go to Lisbon as it would be faster and less stressful than driving there himself, but it would be less flexible.

He didn't have a set schedule of when exactly he would be coming back, so it was better for him to take the car there by himself and come back on his own terms, no matter what time that may be.

***

Two hours and half a minute after leaving the airport at Porto, Jason drove into Lisbon and began driving to Sofia's place with his phone to his ear.

Due to how exhausted he was, he didn't remember to call her before heading out, but as soon as he remembered halfway through his journey, he called her, but his calls hadn't been answered.

He had even stopped to send a message, but so far, his messages hadn't been answered either and he wasn't sure whether she had even seen it.

He was already here anyway so he'd just go check for her at her place.
