Sophie's POV

It had been a long and tough day. I had woken up to find Rada already training again after our passionate love making last night. I had endured eating lunch with Rafa's team of whom only Ana Maria talked to me. I had watched Rafa lose his match with Phillip Kohlscreiber in straight sets but most hard of all I had Struggled through the goodbyes without a single tear. Rafa had been sad to see me go but was a little grumpy after his loss earlier and the fact that I was going against his wishes. We had hugged, kissed and said about a million goodbyes and I love yous before he let me go.

At the airport I was greeted by Amy, my best friend from university. I felt bad after missing her party a few weeks ago, promising to be back soon and then being a couple of weeks. We hugged warmly. It felt like it had been ages since I had seen her.

"I'm so sorry about your family!" Amy cried "I saw it on the news."

I managed to keep in my emotions as Rafa had instructed before answering

"Thanks," I said sadly "I really appreciate that."

"Let's go to your flat," Amy suggested "We have a lot to talk about."

I called a taxi and we drove off to my new residence. It was quite near the centre of London and it had not come cheap although Rafa had insisted on paying the first rent. In the taxi Amy chatted to me about her party and what had happened to her whilst I was away. I paid the driver and went to collect my keys from the land lord. Amy and I climbed the stairs to room flat number eight and I dumped my bags at last.

"Wow this is a lovely flat!" Amy exclaimed "How did you afford it?"

"My boyfriend paid for the first month," I said seeing the opportunity to finally release my big news.

"I didn't know you had a boyfriend," Amy told me "What's his name?"

"Rafael Nadal," I said shly

"Don't blame me for being sceptical but do you have any proof to suggest that your boyfriend is one of the fittest and most well known athletes in the world?" Amy asked.

"Only one piece but I'd rather not show that to you or anyone," I answered "It's a video of me and him having sex!"

"I find it rather difficult to believe that you banged Rafael Nadal," Amy replied "I'm your best friend bit I can only believe you so far without proof."

This was really getting on my nerves. I absolutely hated it when somebody didn't believe the truth and even more so when it was a matter so important.

"Look, I'll show you a bit of the video as long as you promise to keep it to yourself," I decided "I can't stand it when you don't believe me."

I opened up my laptop, typed in the password which was still what Rafa had made it the day before: iloverafamyboyfriendxxx. Then I went onto videos and put on the video of me and Rafa having it off.

As I watched myself strip naked, give my boyfriend a handjob and a blowjob, him eating me out and then us having sex all in front of my best friend I felt strangely at ease. In the end we watched the whole video and we both ended up masturbating. Amy had seen me naked before and I had seen her naked before in those drunken nights of university so in the end I wasn't uncomfortable. The video finished and Amy sat back and sighed.

"That was brilliant and I believe you now," Amy told me "I can't believe that you're dating one of the hottest men in the world. And after seeing that video I have to ask a favour of you."

"Of course," I replied. I'd do almost anything for Amy.

"I need some money badly. I haven't found a job yet and I'm clean out of cash," Amy told me.

"I don't really have any spare," I apologised "If you can think of any way that we could make a little cash then I'll help you."

"I can," Amy's eyes gleamed excitedly "I bring this video to all of the local newspapers and companies and ask them if they want to buy it and charge people to view it online. It's such good stuff with such a well known guy that they'll earn loads."

"I can't do that!" I exclaimed "Rafa and I have been going to difficult measures to prevent our relationship from getting out. Two it would make me look like a whore. Three it would be betraying Rafa."

"But we could leave you nameless." Amy argued "Nobody would recognise you and if they did then they'd have to admit to watching the video. Also normally you wear your hair differently to that. And it wouldn't make Rafa look bad because he has nothing to be ashamed of in his conduct. Plus he wouldn't know that you were involved in getting it out and you could act like the victim."

"I just have a bad feeling about this," I said doubtfully.

"Look," Amy continued "If you don't want to do this then fine. But the Sophie I know would do anything for a friend. The cash that this would reel in would keep me going until I find a job."

"Okay fine." I finally agreed "But if you mention my name at all when you're publishing it then I'll never speak to you again."

"God bless you Sophie," Amy hugged me "Ypure the best friend a girl could ask for."

At that moment I did feel like a brilliant friend but a horrible girlfriend.

Amy left soon after and I got into bed without Rafas watchful eye over me for the first time in days. I was already missing him very much but at least Amy helped.

Rafa was only up at twelve the next morning. Ah the joys of a non match day and a holiday however short. Today he was going to fly back to Mallorca and he would see his cousins, his aunts, his uncles, his friends and whole family. Nothing could get him down, even the fact that Sophie was no longer around. He got out of bed and got dressed in a t shirt and jeans. Normal clothes instead of tennis clothes for once. Deciding not to comb his hair Rafa blissfully opened the door and made to go downstairs. But there was a pile of newspapers waiting down by the door with a note written by the handwriting of his agent, Carlos. It read simply :

This is bad.

Rafa looked at the stories of the newspapers to see what was bad. The Times' headline read:

'Rafael Nadal has sex for first time in years' there was a picture of Rafa on the bed jacking off to Sophie. Thankfully his penis was at least blurred.

The Sun read:

Nadal bangs pornstar! There was a picture of Sophie baring her arse to Rafa during the strip tease.

The Guardian read:

Sharapova accuses Nadal of degrading females.

Rafa read on a little, shocked that Sharapova had watched the tape. Apparently Sharapova had accused Rafa of degrading his lover by cumming in her mouth without warning and for cumming on her face.

Rafa sat down on his bed head in hands. How could he go down now where he would be mocked and the subject of all jokes. He turned on his phone and found tens of new messages. One from Roger saying 'I see that you and Sophie finally got together.'

One from Feliciano Lopez saying 'Can I borrow your girl some time?'

There were many more of the like but one message caught Rafa's attention. It was from Xisca.

'I haven't watched the video. If you need someone to talk to then I'm available for a few weeks. Xx'

Well at least somebody hadn't watched the video and Rafa was grateful for Xisca's support. But Rafa knew that he would live without support. He worried about Sophie. How surprised and devastated would she be?
