Wildest Dreams (COMPLETED)

🥀eleven🥀

Without much of a thinking, I kissed him back.

Was what we did wrong? Yes. Do I care about the consequences? Maybe. Do I regret it? No way.

I pulled away to catch my breath and pressed my forehead against his. No one said a word. The silence filled the air around us, while I could still here the music from the party in the distance meaning everyone was still enjoying their night.

" I missed you."

Olivier whispered, without moving his hands from my shoulders.

" Aren't you going to say something Athena?"

" I am scared I will ruin it."

Olivier signed, annoyed by the situation we were in. The situation I created by running away, thinking I will escape.

" You won't."

I shook my head in disagreement. When I took a step back, trying to put some space between me and him, Olivier's look on his face said he knows what's going through my head.

" Right, you are getting married. It's too late to safe whatever it's left between us. Even if we are willing to try again."

He turned on his heals and headed back towards where everyone else was dancing on the sound of the loud music.

" We both have families now. We can't be selfish."

I shouted in attempt to justify myself and my actions, but he kept walking like he didn't hear my words.

Slamming the door of the restroom in my anger I saw Hazel inside.

Her eyes gave her away, she was here the whole time and most likely heard me and Olivier talking.

" You wanna talk about it."

I shook my head.

" Did you two kiss."

I nodded.

" Well, do you regret it?"

I mumbled a simple no this time.

" Let's go get you a drink."

...

I could feel his intense gaze from across the room. After we went back to the party, Olivier hasn't said a word to me, but kept watching my every move. Every time I hold Antoine's hand, every time I place a kiss on his cheek, every time we danced on a random One Direction song.

His eyes were on me. And I was making sure he was seeing the diamond ring on my finger.

I was playing a dirty game maybe. Maybe I was showing him the what was stopping me.

" Why my brother stares at you, like you would disappear if he looks away."

Aurora joined me and Hazel by the bar, with Martini in hand.

I scoffed in response to her and drowned my glass.

The two girls looked at each other.

" What did he do this time?"

" Not him. I am mad at myself."

They definitely did not expect this answer made a sign to keep talking.

" I just wish things were different. Seeing him after all these years. It just made my life complicated."

I fixed my eyes in the ring made of white gold with a diamond in the center.

Giroud brought back all the memories, all of the ones I did my best to forget.

After five years in London, working as a physiotherapist for Arsenal FC, where I went ahead with my dream lifestyle, had an amazing and full of happiness and adventures relationship, I moved to Madrid. Built a brand new life and a started a simple relationship, that won't offer me anything that my previous one gave me. But at least it was picture perfect, without any trouble in paradise.

Until the Euro, when I saw him again. It turned my world upside down.

" You know, I have never learnt why you left London."

I played with the rim of the glass on the bar top. Not sure I know the exact reason, why I left. I had everything I was ever dreaming of there. Yet I ran away.

" Maybe I was young and stupid."

" I don't know Attie. But whatever it is, it made my brother leave Arsenal as well."

" He planned on leaving much before our break up was in the picture."

Change of scenery was needed for both of us in that moment. Only that I took it too seriously without him.

What we both lost in the winter of 2017 was the last piece of the puzzle leading to ending what we had between us.

It was too much.

no idea where this is heading to. hope it turns out well. what lead to Athena and Olivier separating will be revealed soon
