The Lumineers - Stubborn Love
It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all
The opposite of love's indifference
So pay attention now
I'm standing on your porch screaming out
And I won't leave until you come downstairs~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was already late in the night. I'm standing outside on my terrace and looking inside. Everyone seems to have fun and enjoying theirselves. Everything just went too fast in the last days, weeks, year. I fulfilled my dream but I feel empty. I know, I have to continue for the fans, the team, for the legacy and most importantly for Poppy. But I can't. There is so much pressure and anger in me. I wish I had my mom with me. She always knew what to say. She had an idea of what life is all about. I know nothing.
Standing there and looking inside I feel shiver running down my spine. I couldn't believe what I saw there. Daniel kissing another woman. It seems very intimate. She has her fingers on his neck, playing with his hair. I know he likes it this way. He grabs her waist, pulling her closer. They are not stopping. They basically make out in the middle of our flat. I turned to my left and wanted to run away. After two steps i bumped into someone. "S...So..Sorry" i stumbled trying to hide away my tears. I didn't even realize tears were streaming down my face. "It's ok. come here. sssssshhhh" the person pulled me into their chest and tried to calm me. I don't know how long I was standing there. After I calmed for a bit I looked up and saw a guy I've never seen before. But he looks so good. Tall, athletic figure, dark blond wavy, slightly curled hair, green-blue eyes and a 3 days beard. "Who are you?" it sounded like a small whisper. I've never seen him before. "I'm Sascha, a friend of our little Bobby Shwartzman and one of the best mates of Hulk. But i know all the people living in Monaco. Sorry that I crashed your party. I came out to introduce myself. But as I see, my girlfriend likes your man. So I could need some Whiskey. What about you?" I nodded. "I'm Ruby by the way." I answered whilst he grabbed my hand and went back into the flat. Dan was about to drag his new fling into another room. I just gave him an eye-roll and continued to follow Sascha.
He dragged me out of the apartment complex and we ran away. We stopped a few streets down and decided to sit down next to River Themse. "So, to properly introduce me, my name is Ruby Smith, i'm 25 years old, Australian racing driver in F1. I'm a mom, the dad of her died in a horrendous accident nearly 2 years ago and my boyfriend is right now sleeping with your girlfriend." i explained. Sascha just sat there and listened to me. "Anything else you wanna know?" I asked but couldn't read his face impression. "My full name is Alexander Zverev, Sascha for short in Russian. I'm a german tennis player and at the moment i'm in London to prepare for the Olympic Games. Normally i live in Monaco. And my girlfriend, your boyfriend is doing at the moment just got our daughter like 2 month ago. So yeah, i'm a father too." he held me out his hand "nice to meet you Ruby." he smiled.
"So I guess we both are now more or less homeless?" he asked. "No. the flat is mine or better said, it belongs to Mercedes but I'm allowed to live in there. So if there is someone moving out then it's Daniel tomorrow morning. So if you have no place to stay, feel more than welcome to move into one of my guest rooms. My normal schedule is to have my trainer around in the mornings. She's super quiet. She also prepares breakfast. If you have a diet, feel free to tell her, so she can provide it to you." I offered. Suddenly he pulled me into his chest and slammed his lips onto mine. After a little shock i answered the kiss and parted my lips slightly to let his tongue slip into my mouth. Fireworks exploded in my belly. I never felt so free and alive. What is this man doing to me?
"WOW" i said as we broke the kiss. "I'm sorry, I didn't wan.... WOW? so it's ok for you?" he looked a bit worried. "Completely ok. Never felt alive like this. Feel free to do it again every time you want." i smiled into our next kiss. After some time we got up and went back into my flat. As soon as I opened the door Daniel came running to me. "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done it. Brenda, she is... i mean... it has nothing t..." "Dan, I don't care. Tomorrow morning you're out of this flat! I don't wanna see you ever again near Poppy!" I was angry. But he didn't even argue about it. Sascha was standing behind me. He clearly was looking for Brenda, but he didn't find her. Daniel stormed out of the flat.
i turned the lights on. "Ok everyone, the party is over! if you need a place to stay, feel free to find a couch or a bed in one of the rooms. Please remember, i've got all your car keys. If you need an Uber or a cab, tell me, i can organize it for you. All together, I wanna thank you for coming and wanna apologize for the things that happened." Gerri came up to me and gave me a hug "I will tell Christian to kick his ass even more" she whispered to me. I nodded in acceptance.
The next morning
rubysmith The pain you feel today, will be the strength you feel tomorrow.
After the trainings session I came how to Sascha moving in. "Hey you, no need to train today?" he smiled at me. "Nop, not until tonight. wanna join in on a Tennis session?" I nodded. then I went to get a shower and play with Poppy. In the afternoon, Sascha was ready for training and came and got me. We put Poppy in a stroller and went off for training.
