The Setbacks (Kylian Mbappé x Reader)

Thought of him

"What do you want?" I yelled.

"I just want to talk to you," he replied, "please open the door."

I hesitated but decided to open it anyways.

"Hey," he greeted.

"Hi, come in," I said. Once he did I closed the door behind him.

It was cold so I walked straight back to me bedroom and signaled for him to follow me. I got a hoodie and sat back on my bed leaning against the headboard.

He sat on the edge of the bed and started to speak, "I know you're probably mad at me, for not calling or texting you since Sunday and..."

"It's not cause of that," I cut him off to say.

"Then why are you like this?" He asked confused.

"After the game," I began to explain, "I saw Ethan, he greeted me, we talked and then Maïa called him, but before leaving she said you and her are back together."

"Merde, (Shit,)" he murmured.

"Look, Kylian, if you want to be her then do so," I said, "just tell me and I'll be out of your way. I can't compete with someone you clearly still like and..."

"Y/n, we aren't together," he said.

"Then why did she say that?"

"That day after you left, she asked for us to go back together, I said no and we got into an argument," he stated, "by the time we were done, I still told her I didn't want to date her again. She told me that she would do the everything to prove that things would be different."

"So is that why she went to the game?"

"I think so, because she's only been in one, that's when we started dating," he mentioned.

"Okay," I said, "let me un-complicate things for you. If you still like her and want to be with her then do it, you don't have to..."

He placed his hand on my cheek that made me stop talking, he giggled and said, "J'aime la façon dont cela vous fait arrêter de parler. (I like how this makes you stop talking.)"

"If you over use it, it might stop working," I said.

"I hope not," he told me, "and know this, I don't want to be with her, she might try but I'm done with always having to argue. With you, it's peaceful and I love it."

I blushed and looked down with a smile. This boy knows exactly what to say to get me speechless. But then I remembered the pain that might come from being with him, specially with Maïa involved.

"Alright, I'll believe you in one condition," I said.

"Nomme-la , (Name it,)" he quickly said.

"We will take things slow, and low key," I mentioned.

"Deal," he said. Then took his hang of my cheek and extended it for me to shake.

"We have to shake on it?" I giggled.

"Yes," he said with a grin.

I sat up and got closer to him, gently held his cheek and whispered, "deal."

Then he got closer and kissed me. This time was better then before, I was fully sober and was able to completely enjoy the feeling of his lips on mine. They softer, sweeter and everything that made my toes curl.

We pulled apart, it was all smiles and I wasn't about to hide it despite being incredibly timid.

"I have to go now," he said, "I have training very early, can I see you after?"

"Of course," I replied, "I'll call you when I get off work."

"Great."

I walked him to the door and before he left, he place his hands on my waist, bring me in for a hug and plants a few kisses on my neck, while I had my hands around his neck. Then I loosened my grip to get a taste of his lips once more.

*throate clears*

We stop kissing, to look beside us to the stairs and there was Béatrice trying her best to cover her grin.

"Hi, sorry to interrupt," she said, "Je veux juste entrer.(I just wanna get inside.)"

We moved aside and she rushed inside give me the quickest smirk.

"So much for trying to keep it lowkey," I commented.

"We'll be fine," he giggled and held my hand.

"Yeah," I say gazing into his eyes, then finally snap out of it, "see you tomorrow."

"See you," he says right after kissing my hand and quickly rushing downstairs.

I close the door to find an eager B standing behind it, and she says, "I leave you alone for an hour and your kissing people?"

I smirked and said, "I learnt from the best."

"Yes, you did," she chuckled, "now tell me, what happened."

"Good night, B," I yelled as I walked fast towards my room.

"No fair!" She replied.

"Tomorrow morning, I promise, love you!"

I wanted to like this sink in. I wanted to process it all without interruptions or input from anyone else. Just me, myself and the thought of him. I could not believe what had happened. Whatever this was, I was so ready and excited for it.
