Toxic ~ Kevin Alvarez

~10~

Kevin: Give me that chance...Please Leilah...

Her heart is pounding, she wants him to change so badly, and she hopes that when the World Cup is over, he can focus on one woman. He's close to her, feeling her perfume and her soft cheeks; he was more in love than he wants to admit to.
Leilah: Will you change...? Will all these little sneaky links stop if I say yes...?
Kevin: Yes, I will change, I'd do anything to be with you...I'm fucking deadass...
Leilah: Then I'll give it a shot...

His face lit up, and his smile is so pure, so perfect.
Kevin: I won't let you down, I promise!
Leilah: Let's keep this relationship on the low, we don't want any scandals during the tournament.
Kevin: Laylay...But I want to show you to the world...I want them to know that you're mine...
Leilah: Later okay? Just so we can get used to each other before everyone else knows.
Kevin: Fine, I'll do it...But I am happy to have you with me...

He kisses her tenderly. It was slow, just for them to know how each other's lips feel since all their other kisses were rough and sloppy. Leilah can feel him smile during the kiss.
Leilah: You're a happy one!
Kevin: Mmhh...I am, I have the most beautiful woman in the world right in front of me...You know, I'm sorry for being a bitch to you when we first got to LA...
Leilah: It's okay, I should apologize too, I also wasn't the nicest to you...
Kevin: But now we're together, I will treat you right this time...for sure...
Leilah: You better, or else I will show you no mercy!
Kevin: I like your fiery side...

He kisses her again and leads her to bed to cuddle.
Kevin: I think I won't be needing this anymore...

He took out his phone and deleted the leaked video of her that he has.
Kevin: I would've never used it anyways...
Leilah: Finally you got rid of it...Gosh, did you take the time to watch the whole thing many times?
Kevin: Uuhhhmmm...
Leilah: You know what? I don't wanna know. Do you want to go join the others?
Kevin: Not yet, I wanna stay here with you.

He pulls her closer to him and kisses her head.
Leilah: So now I get to see your sweet side?
Kevin: You do, and lemme tell you that I'll treat you like a queen...
Leilah: That's what they all say...Don't make big statements...
Kevin: You've been hurt before, did you?
Leilah: I don't want to talk about it...
Kevin: I've told you my story, I can definitely listen to yours...Talking about it can sometimes make someone feel better.
Leilah: It was...A harsh relationship...

Kevin looks at her, moving the strain of hair away from her face.
Kevin: Go on, I'm listening...
Leilah: My ex Alejandro was a toxic guy...very toxic...He would cheat on me and the next day, he claims that he loves me...He begs for me to come back to him and I give him another chance...Just for him to do it again...and again...But I kept forgiving him because I loved him...He promised me the world...I believed him, and he broke my trust...
Kevin: I'm sorry to hear that...He's an asshole...He doesn't know what he's losing.
Leilah: I was so gullible...so stupid...
Kevin: Now he's out of your life, you don't need to worry anymore. I'm here for you...I'll love you and protect you...
Leilah: Please don't get ahead of yourself...Or else I'll have high expectations...Suprise me instead.
Kevin: Okay baby...

She couldn't help but smile; his voice was sweet and calming.
Leilah: "baby"...It has a nice ring to it...
Kevin: It does and it's all for you...

They keep cuddling and talking in bed for another 30 minutes just to know more about each other. Afterwards, they go downstairs to chill with the rest of the team.
Memo: Hey! Where were y'all at??
Leilah: Just playing FIFA! I beat him twice and he doesn't want to accept defeat!
Kevin: Heeeyyy!! You cheated!
Leilah: I did not! I won fair and square!
Hirving: Y'all should've played it here! We would've loved to see it!
Diego: Let's have a FIFA tournament in my room! Come one!!

Everyone rushes into Diego's room. Suprisenly, the bedroom can fit the whole team.
Edson: Ouh ouh! Let me play first!
Alexis: I'll whoop your ass Edson!
Edson: Pfftt...my ass? How about yours? Mmh? Everyone has seen your ass cheeks on national tv!
Alexis: Everyone loves my fat, juicy ass!

He was about to pull his pants down when everyone screams at him not to.
Alexis: Pfftt...Haters...

They play the game while Kevin and Leilag are sitting in the back and teasing each other. She even sat on his lap and she slowly grinds on him. He grips her hips in responses.
Kevin: Don't play with me like that baby...
Leilah: Oh yeah? Or else what?
Kevin: I'll fuck you in front of the whole team.

She wasn't sure if he was for real or not. With a guy this freaky like him, anything can happen.
Leilah: You wouldn't do that shit...
Kevin: I would...I fucking would...There's some sides of me you haven't explored yet when it comes to sex...
Leilah: Okay fine, I'll stop, just because I want this relationship to be on the low for now.
Kevin: Good decision.

It was eventually their turn to play and she ends up winning.
Leilah: Hell yeah!! I'm way too good for you!
Kevin: Naahh I let you win just so you don't cry!
Leilah: Suuurreee you're trying to find lame excuses! Admit defeat!
Kevin: I'll get you next time don't worry!

They laugh and everyone looks at them holding each other. The suspicion they had is confirmed when Leilah's makeup smears off her neck and reveals her hickeys from the other night.
Memo: Laylay, who got your neck bruised up like that??
Leilah: Uuuhhh...It's nothing! I just burned myself with the curling iron!
Hirving: ALL OVER your neck...?
Leilah: Yyyeessss...
Kevin: Babe, I think they know.
Hirving: AYO HE CALLED HER BABE!!!!

The boys start cheering loudly and celebrate the new couple.
Leilah: Okay okay settle down boys! You guys better be good at keeping a secret!
Edson: We can, but not Alexis.
Alexis: Whaaattt?? I can definitely keep a secret!
Hirving: You told Andres that we were planning a surprise birthday party for him and said "Sshh! It's a secret though!"

Everyone laughs at him and he also laughs.
Alexis: I promise I won't say anything!
Leilah: Good, because I don't want the press to know anything about it. Tata should not know about this either.
Memo: We'll make sure this remains between us! Kevin, take care of her okay?
Kevin: Of course, I don't want to lose a rare beauty like her...

Kevin kisses her and the team cheers once more.
Kevin: See? It isn't that bad that some people know!
Leilah: True, but the public should not know for now. I'm not ready for that.
Kevin: I understand, you don't have to worry about it. We'll focus on us, everything else comes next. I want you to be comfortable with me.
Leilah: I am getting really comfortable with you...
Kevin: Good, I can't wait to take you out soon...
Leilah: Focus on the tournament first, then, we'll plan the date.
Kevin: We're playing Argentina next, this is even more nerve racking than the first game! Tata didn't put me on so I definitely won't start the second one...
Leilah: What?? Nah nah don't pull yourself down! You got this! And you're gonna play the game of your life!
Kevin: I don't know babe...
Leilah: Have confidence...and you'll see...

With a reassuring smile, she kisses his cheek. He felt much better having her around him; she gave him the love and joy he was looking for.

Maybe love is a beautiful thing...
