Bastian sits near the window in his bedroom looking out over the streets in the early morning light. Wearing nothing but his tracks pants, he rubs his bare chest where his heart beats steady. Glancing over at the bed he stares at Alex asleep in his tangled sheets. Her beautiful brown locks splayed out across his pillow and her legs and back exposed to the cool air of the room. Breathing in a slow but steady exhale, she calls his name in her sleep.
He smiles with the satisfaction of knowing shes dreaming about him. Allowing his gaze to follow the curve of her body, flashes of their night together surface in his head. What am I going to do? ,he thinks as he turns his focus back to the light rain hitting the window. I'm in deep here... I... I'm in love with her. Madly in love. My chest hurts just thinking about it... this is far beyond anything I ever felt with Sarah . He rubs the center of his chest as he feels it pierce with pain. I can't lose her. Glancing back to the bed, she smiles in her sleep. His face flushes with admiration.
Rubbing his hands through his tousled hair, he glances at the clock. 5:15am. Early morning training is at 6am. Better get going.Throwing on his clothes and scribbling a quick note for Alex, he leans down over the bed to kiss her. A smile streaks across her face as she feels his lips. Too bad shes still in a deep sleep. If she woke up he may not make it into training today. Leaving his note and a fresh flower from the vase in the kitchen, Bastian heads out to the training grounds.
Hitting the locker room to dump his stuff he runs into the guys.
"Heyy...Basti..how you doing?" Thomas says... you look different? what gives?
"Nothing Thomas.. just another great day for fussball?"
"No No... don't give me that" Thomas says... "you've had a spring in your step for a few days now...cough it up Basti.. whats going on?"
"Honestly nothing!" he says with a smile.
"No no no ... We all know you and the new doc have been spending some time together "."Hey hey Mario".. Thomas says.. "doesn't Basti look different to you?"
" He looks like the same old Basti to me!" Mario says
"NO come on guys look at him... I know exactly whats going on here"...Thomas says with a chuckle.. He's in LOVE.. holy shit!! I knew it.
All the other guys laugh at Thomas as Basti gives him a smack in the back of the head.
"Thomas you talk too much" Basti says as he gives the guy a kiss on the head..."See I knew it!!!" Thomas hollers as they all head to the field laughing and tossing out jokes.
Alex rolls over to reach for Bastian.. wait hes not there. Sitting up with the sheets crumpled around her chest..she glances at the clock 8am. Right Bastian had training early this morning. Running her hands through her tangled hair she realizes shes late for work.
Whipping of a quick email to her uncle she lies and says she feeling under the weather and should probably keep her distance from the players as they have a big qualifiers this weekend in Portugal. Receiving an immediate reply from her Uncle he immediately thanks her for thinking about the health of his squad. Glancing over to Bastians side of the bed she see's his note..and a pink flower.
Good Morning Love,
I so badly wanted to wake you this morning, for I cant get enough of your touch. Unfortunately I don't think your Uncle would understand the circumstances behind my tardiness if I did. Make yourself at home. I will be back around 9am. Please stay... I want you in my bed when I get home.
Basti
Smiling she folds the note and brings the flower to her nose. Feeling a little hungry she reaches down on the floor for her underwear. Not finding where her shirt ended up in the heat of passion last night, she opts for Bastians navy blue sweater he had on. Pulling it close to her nose she takes a deep inhale and smells nothing but his cologne.
