Finding Love

Rosalie

"I think I'm falling in love... this time I think it's for real"

Dinner with Mateo was magical, he took me to a small sit down area in the hotel. It was pretty empty for the most part and we enjoyed new dishes together there were a few stares from some of the guest. But we ignored them and stayed in our little world. 

I'm back in my room now with Sophia, Mateo has been going to practice all morning then him and his team would watch some of the other countries play. He was friends with some of the guys on other teams and wanted to support them. 

I found out he played for Real Madrid club with Vinicius and few others on the national team. He invited me to watch a game but I turned it down not wanting to be in public yet. For the past 3 days I've stayed in the hotel moving from his to mine. 

"Rosalie, help me pack" Sophia begged as she was stuffing her luggage. I slowly got up from the bed with a frown, I didn't want her to leave but she had a photoshoot and had to book a flight home. 

"I'm sad you're leaving me here" I said folding her clothes

"I did my job. You and Mateo are practically dating and I got to watch Brazil win" she said happily 

"Correction, we're not dating" I said giving her a glare. We went on one date and may kiss every time we see each other but he hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend and even if he did, I'd turn him down

"Sure" I ignored her obvious staring and got up to put more clothes in her suitcase. I would be here without Sophia for another week. Who will I talk to and go on fun adventures with? 

"Are we going to act like you didn't hump him like an animal" she shot at me. I snapped my head ar her and threw the folded shirt, "Sophia!!!" I whined. 

She laughed at me rolling on the floor, "it's not funny... I was in a moment of weakness" I defended myself

"Regardless our relationship isn't focused on sex" I stated. We never talked about that day and kind of pushed it behind us as we did with our first kiss

"To you... I've watched that man eye fuck too many times" she said nudging me. I mean I've noticed him hard a few times but he never ignited anything 

"Well then why doesn't he make a move" I stated back 

"Now Rose... you and I both know that man is scared of you. You'd turn him down so fast" she said looking at me. Sophia made a point, Mateo has seen my crazy dramatic side and he probably thought I didn't want him to touch me. But that wasn't true. 

"Am I that mean" I asked her. She let out a sigh and crawled over to sit besides me, "no you're just protective over your feelings" 

"It's not a bad thing but I want you to stay open minded if the chance happens" she told me. I didn't know what to make with her words, in the past I always stopped anything from going further. Well except that one night but besides that I had control over things but maybe that was the issue. 

"Enough talking about Mateo. Help me finish so I can see my hubby" Sophia pulled me out of my thoughts as we finished packing her bag. 

Next day...

"I'll be in the box with your family" I said in the phone running around my room looking for a skirt

"Ok, my brother should be there soon" Mateo said on the other end. He was at the stadium getting ready for their game against South Korea and I was looking for my black mini skirt

"Well, I'd be ready faster if you let me focus" I said finding the skirt and getting dressed 

"Mmm... what are you wearing" he asked in a low tone. I couldn't tell if he was flirting or asking a real question but I thought about Sophia's words.
