The Setbacks (Kylian Mbappé x Reader)

Cruising

I woke to another day of the skies painted grey, leaving me in no mood to get out of bed. The previous night, we all had a good conversation, food plus a little bit of wine and everyone went home. Today was a clean slate, and I wanted to have fun.

*phone rings*

"Good morning, beautiful," Kylian greeted as I picked up the phone.

Just the sound of his voice already put a smile on my face; his words only added to it, and so I responded, "good morning, handsome."

"Were you sleeping?" He asked.

"No," I answered, "just still in bed, you?"

"Me too," he admitted, "what would you want to do today?"

"After I speak to Charles, I only had one plan on my mind," I said.

"What is it?"

"Ethan's been asking me for a ride in my car, so we planned it for today."

"Wow," he giggled, "already stealing my brother away from me."

"Just a little bit," I said, "would you like to join?"

"If I can, I'd love to," he said.

"Great," I mentioned, "I'll be there in 2 hours."

"See you then."

"Bye."

I hung up and immediately felt more excited for the day. I couldn't wait to spend more time with Kylian. I got up, took a shower and got dressed.

I went over to Béatrice so we could talk to Charles. Luckily he said yes. Granted, I would have to pay for our lunch for a week, but honestly, it would be completely worth it for the chance to go to Nice with my friends and Kylian.

"I have to hand it to you, B," I said, "you are incredible at convincing people."

"Thank you," she said, " now go see your boy and his brother."

I grabbed my purse and mentioned, "don't wait up for me."

She laughed and said, "I guess I'll call Thilo over too."

"Go ahead, bye!"

I went to the garage, grabbed my car and drove to their apartment. I called him to let him know I was downstairs.

Before I knew it, I saw them coming my way. They got in the car, and Ethan sat in front.

"Ohh wow," I admired, "he let you sit here?"

"I won at rock, paper, scissors," Ethan giggled.

"Yeah, yeah, just enjoy it for now," Kylian said.

We both laughed, and Ethan asked, "so where will we go?"

"Well, if I will show you everything she can do, we need an open road and space, so I decided that we can go to Neymar's area," I said, "what do you think?"

"Oui! Qu'est-ce que tu attends? allons-y! (yes! What are you waiting for? let's go!) he stated.

Just like that, we were off. The moment we got on the highway, it was fun and trying not to get myself a ticket for driving so fast.

We arrived in the area, and Ethan said, "That.  Was. INCREDIBLE."

"Thank you," I said graciously.

"You should design clothes and race on the side," he suggested.

"I'll take that into consideration," I responded, giggling, "but I had a great teacher to get to this level."

"I can imagine; just know that you'll be mine," he said. 

"Not a problem," I replied.

We took a ride around the neighbourhood before we ended up in a red light. I stopped, and a few seconds later, a familiar Range Rover pulled up next to us.

Upon further inspection, I realized it was my mom's car, so I got her attention, and she told me to go to my house.

"Do you guys mind a quick detour at my parent's house?" I asked.

"I don't mind," Ethan said, "Kylian?"

"Let's go," he answered.

So we followed her there. We pulled up to the driveway, and we got out to greet my mom.

"Hi, mom," I greeted as she pulled me in for a hug.

"Hello, sweetheart," she said.

We pulled apart, and she asked, "who are your friends?"

"Ohh yes, this is Kylian, the one dad's always talking about," I mentioned.

"Ahh, the golden boy," she remembered, "nice to finally meet you."

"Nice to meet you too," he replied with a smile; I mean, it's not like every day you get called the golden boy, by my mother, of course.

"And this is his younger brother, Ethan, you met at the game," I said, "also a football player."

"Yes, I remember, nice to see you, Ethan," she said.

"Nice seeing you too," he replied.

"Would you like to join me for lunch?" She asked, "your father was called into a meeting this morning."

"Thank you, mom, but I think that we should get going; Kylian's practice is in 3 hours," I mentioned.

"Yes, unfortunately," Kylian backed me up.

"What a shame, and I had just found your baby album this morning," my mom said.

"But then again," Kylian started to say, "it's always good to eat before practice."

"I agree, Kylian and I am a bit hungry," Ethan supported him. Both with matching grins on their face.

"Both of you suck. Did you know that?" I asked.

"Please, I can't leave my little brother hungry," Kylian said with a fake offended expression, then put his arm around my mom, "so, what's for lunch?"

My mom laughed as they began to walk towards the door and said, "Beef Wellington, I'm sure you'll love it."

He looked back at me and said, "I'm sure I will."

"Wait for us," Ethan said as he took my hand and pulled me in the direction they were going.

These brothers will kill me.

Through lunch, my mom displayed baby photos and childhood stories. I just sat there and tried my best to keep my cool. She also took the time to get to know Kylian.

I told her about the trip to Nice, and she was thrilled with the idea, claiming I needed to get out more with my friends.

After that, we made our way to the training centre. I parked the car, and we all got out.

"Thanks for the day," Ethan said, "it was fun."

"It was fun being with you," I replied. I hugged him goodbye, and he went inside.

"So?" I asked Kylian.

"So?" He asked back.

"Did you have fun too? Despite the detour to my house," I said.

"Are you kidding me?" He asked with laughter, "that was the best part!"

I laughed and said, "I'm glad you enjoyed it; I'm embarrassed."

He hugged and said, "you were adorable."

"Were?"

"You still are, but sexier," then kissed my cheek and added, "beautiful," then kissed another cheek and finally added, "amazing."

I couldn't help because of how cute his words were and kissed him. Each time I felt his lips, I was in heaven.

We pulled apart and said, "We should probably stop; we are in public."

"I don't care," he replied. He held my chin and gave me a long peck on the lips, then whispered, "I'll see you later."

Then he ran off to the building. I got in my car and drove home, happy as could be.
