Finding Love

Rosalie

"This man has taken over my heart"

I felt horrible for Mateo and the team. This lost hit them hard and watching how broken they looked broke my heart. I've been waiting in Mateo's room for almost 2 hours since the game ended. Right now is a sensitive time as they accept their loose and I had no idea how to comfort him. 

Sophia had been texting me and said I just be there. I packed up our old room and moved my stuff in Mateo's. I had planned on bringing up our past argument but with the way things went now is not the time. Hearing the key card the door opened and Mateo walked in with his duffle bag

"Hey" I said standing up waiting for him to say something 

"Mmmm" was all he managed to say. I watched him place the bag in the closet and walk inside the bathroom. He wasn't talking at all and I was becoming worried. Was he shutting me out?

I pushed my thouhts aside and barged into the bathroom "please don't ignor-" 

"Waoh, Rose" he yelled. I stood frozen staring at him as he was currently peeing "oh my-" I quickly turned around covering my eyes. This is what I get for being persistent. 

He was pretty... big but that's not what I should be thinking about right now!

I heard him flush the toilet "you can turn around now" he said with warmth in his voice

"I'm sorry for that" I said looking ashamed. I was jumping to conclusions and now we're in an awkward silence. "It's fine" he stepped outside the bathroom and changed his clothes before laying in the bed. I've never been the best at comforting others, usually when they start crying I give them space because I assume its the best thing to do but in this situation I didn't want to leave Mateo along with his thoughts. 

I walked over to the bed and laid besides him. Shifting to my side his eyes were closed and he wasn't paying me any mind. "Talk to me" I begged  running my hands through his hair as a tear fell from his eye

He started sniffling and I moved closer making sure he knew I was here, "it sucks Rose... I thought this would be our year but we didn't even make it to the quarterfinals" for once I stayed quiet and just listened

"We knew  this was going to be tough but to lose by penalties, it brought me back to 2018 and I feel like a failure" I stroked his scalp taking in his words 

"You're not a failure. You made the shot and your team played as hard they could" I spoke slowly making sure he understood. "This is just a small set back but you've accomplished so much this year. Let's not act like psg didn't offer a deal from watching you play" I added. He looked at me surprised 

"Who told you?" he asked curiously 

"The media but your mother confirmed" I giggled twirling my fingers in his hair. "You've done so much and I'm happy I got to experience with you" 

"You don't think I'm a failure" did this man not hear anything I said. He was far from a failure or embarrassment. 

I sat up and grabbed his chin, "Mateo Souza, you are my favorite player on any team. Your passion for the game and team is apparent on the field. You never gave up when people doubted you or when you got injured. You have never been a failure and I love you for everything you do" I stated wholeheartly

His eyes watered and in a quick motion he pressed me into his chest. "I love you Rosalie" he cried in my shirt. "I hated not talking to you and I hate how you make a loser feel like a winner" I almost cried myself hearing him say that. 

"I lov... I love you too" I finally said. It may be to early to say but I love Mateo Souza and I don't want to loose him, I don't want to hide my heart anymore. 

We looked at each and I pressed my lips on his sealing our love. Mateo lifted my shirt and I sat up with no bra on. He stared at my breast then looked in my eyes before latching his lips on them. I closed my eyes and groaned at the contact he started biting my nipples and turned us over so my back was on the bed. 

I helped him take his shirt off and he went back to trailing kisses down my stomach. I couldn't help but moan as he took my pants off and made impact with my underwear. 

...

"Omg..." I said looking at the ceiling. Mateo got up and came back with tissue. He started wiping my legs and sat at the end of the bed watching me lay in shock

"I didn't mean for that to happen. It was a lot of emotions and I-" 

I abruptly got up and pressed my chest against his kissing him, "I loved it" I smiled as his hand held me in place. I probably shouldn't had moved so quick because my core and legs started to ache. 

"Are you ok?" he asked me as I made a face touching my legs. "Yes but are you okay" I asked considered. I didn't expect us to go into that so quick but things happened...

"I will be" he said laying down and pulling me into his body. We faced each other and I smiled at the man I loved. Me in love? I couldn't believe myself but here I was...

"Don't leave me" Mateo softly said resting his head in my neck. I looked down at him still defeated from the game I stroked his scalp,  "I won't" I replied closing my eyes and falling asleep with him in my arms.
