The Rising Star - Alexia Putellas

Part 74

A/N: Because we all need some cheering up after Viv went down and I can't upload anything over the weekend, I decided to be nice and give you an extra chapter today. Hope you all like it 😈

When training ended we all went our separate ways to get ready for tonight. Alexia had some more media duties so she was forced to stay a bit longer than the rest of us so Leila and Mapi asked if I wanted to get ready with them. 

The three of us went to Leila's and got ourselves ready. Before we would meet up with the others we went out for sushi at Leila's favorite restaurant not far from the club.

"Okay so I was thinking." Leila suddenly said, shoving another piece of sushi in her mouth. 

"Did that hurt you or?" I smirked at the older girl, making Mapi laugh. 

"Shut up." She glared at the both of us. 

"Continue." Mapi said, trying to calm herself down a bit but failing miserably. Leila just glared even more at the blonde and waited until we both calmed down enough to explain her idea. 

"We should ask Ana, Patri or Aitana to flirt with you and make Alexia jealous." She proudly explained her plan. 

"Jealousy? That's your plan? That's like the plot of every cringy rom com there is before it goes to shit." I deadpanned. This was just a disaster waiting to happen if you would ask me. 

"You've got a better idea?" Leila challenged me. I really wanted to come up with a better plan than hers or that involved me just straight up telling her but I couldn't. 

"No." I mumbled. Leila sat there gloating over her small victory over the argument but Mapi soon burst that bubble. 

"She just needs to grow a pair and confess." She pointed her chopstick at me. 

"Well thank you for your kind words." I knew Mapi was right, that didn't mean I had to like it. 

"You're very welcome." She grinned and shoved some sushi in her mouth. 

"So what are you gonna say?" Leila asked intrigued. 

Well this is the part that I hadn't really thought of or maybe I did, I just didn't know what I could say. There is so much I wanted to tell her but how did I start? 

"I don't know, I guess I'll just wing it." I shrugged my shoulders. Maybe just winging it was better than preparing something.

"Wing it? You're gonna just wing it?" Mapi however didn't look impressed about my approach. 

"I guess." 

"Yeah, good luck." Leila patted my back.

We were close to the last one arriving at the club. Most of our teammates were already scattered across the room and had drinks in their hands. 

The moment I walked in I saw Alexia across the room. She was dancing to the song that was currently playing, laughing at something someone had said. 

It's now or never I guess. Before I could change my mind I went over to her and placed my hands on her waist and started to move to the rhythm. 

Within an instant Alexia knew it was me. It was like she recognized my touch. Leaning into my embrace she moved along to the music with me. 

My hands went up and down her side while my lips brushed over her collarbone and neck. She threw her head back and rested it on my shoulder. 

Moments later she turned around and wrapped her arms around my neck. We were so close that our noses were almost touching. It seemed like the whole club disappeared for a second.
