Not a secret anymore •Marco Reus / Lionel Messi•

Chapter 32

Tuesday

"Marco?" I called after unlocking the front door of his flat with the key he had given me. "Marco." I called stepping further. "Hey." I heard him and so I turned around. Seeing him with only towel wrapped around his waist made me shiver. "H-hi." I said and he smirked walking closer to me. "I love you." he said and pecked my lips. "Still not tired of saying it?" I asked and he giggled. "Nope." he said and kissed my cheek. "I'll put something on." he said and walked into his bedroom. Hearing my phone ringing, I looked at the screen. L-Leo? Answering it, I walked on the balcony. "Ana speaking." I mumbled not quite sure what is going on. "A-Ana? It's me. Lionel." he said and I gulped. "Can I help you?" I asked softly looking behind my shoulder to make sure Marco doesn't hear me. "Are you dating Reus? Marco Reus?" he asked and I looked down on my feet shaking. "Y-yeah." I replied quietly. "If I tell you that I miss you, what will you say?" he asked. I'm sorry. I know that I've hurt you. I'd like to undo what I did. "Get over me." I said and heard his sad giggle. "I'm not gonna say it then." he mumbled and I bit my lip wishing I had never done it. "Annie?" I heard Marco calling. "Is that him?" Leo asked and I shivered realizing I haven't hung up yet. "Yes. I have to go." I said. "Sure. Bye An." he said and hung up. I feel bad for hurting him. But also I don't understand how he could get so attached to me in a month.

Thursday

I got a message. From Leo. Today. And it took my breath away. He send me a pic of his pool and wrote 'It was more fun with you.' Why is he doing this?! He knows that I have a boyfriend. Marco. Yet he keeps texting and calling me. "Annie?" Marco called and I turned around from my textbook. "Were you daydreaming?" he asked and I chucled lightly. He moved closer and took the textbook away from me. "Useless." he said pointing on the book and I furrowed my eyebrows when he put it away. "I was learning." I protested, but he only smirked. "Let's do something more fun." he said and moved closer. He pecked my lips and I smiled. I remember Leo kissing me. "Ana." Marco called and I looked at him. "What's the matter with you today?" he asked caressing my cheek and I shook my head lightly. "Nothing. I'm fine. Just a bit tired." I replied and he smiled. "Tired? Let's relax then." he said huskily and made me lie down on his sofa. He hovering over me, I giggled.

I looked over my shoulder and smiled seeing Marco sleeping. I placed a little kiss on his nose and stood up. After coming to the balcony, I sat down on the chair breathing in some fresh air. I can't wait for finishing the school! No studying anymore! My phone started ringing and so I answered immediately. "Annie?" was said. "Mom?" I asked. "Yes. Where are you?" she asked. "I'm at Marco's place." I said and she giggled. "I'd like to see you as a couple, not only hear about you." she protested and I blushed. "I promise when Marco isn't busy, we'll come." I said. "Okay. I won't bother anymore." she said and I giggled. "You're never bothering." I said. "Okay. Well, enjoy your time together. Bye and say hi!" she said happily and I giggled hanging up. I'd have never thought that she'd be this happy about us.

I walked back in the living room and giggled at the sight of Marco rubbing his eyes like a little baby. "Good morning." I said and walked closer to the sofa. "Hey." he said in a raspy voice that sent shivers down my spine. "Mom says hi." I said and he smiled. Sitting down, he stretched his arms out wrapping them around my waist and pulled me down on his lap. "I say hi too." he mumbled and kissed the side of my neck. "Stay here. Tonight." he said. W-what?! Is..is this for real? Somebody pinch me! "I...I have school tomorrow." I said and he shrugged. "I'm not making you not go there." he said and pressed his lips on my shoulder. "You'll go. I just want you to stay over night." he said and I smiled sadly. "Marco, I don't wanna rush things. We...it was complicated a few weeks ago." I explained softly and he sighed. "It was complicated because I was blind. But now I can see." he said and I smiled gently cupping his cheek. "Okay." I whispered and he smiled. "Thank you." he mumbled and pecked my lips.

.....

Walking out of the bathroom, I put my clothes in my bag I had taken from home earlier. I looked at Marco who was laying in the bed watching me. "Why are you staring like that?" I asked quietly walking closer. "I've just realized you look amazing even though you're in your pyjamas." he said and I blushed. "You're in the middle of the bed. Where am I to lie?" I asked with a light giggle and he smirked. "Which side do you wanna take?" he asked and I bit my lip. I love him so much. "You always sleep on the right side. And so, I want the left one." I said and he smiled. "C'm here then." he said patting on the left side. I lay down and covered myself with the duvet carefully. "I love you." Marco said hovering over me. "I love you too." I replied shyly and he pecked my lips. "You are so beautiful." he said putting a strand of my hair off of my face. Why is he saying it? "I don't get how I could be so blind." he mumbled and I chuckled. "It doesn't matter anymore." I mumbled and cupped his cheeks. "We're together now, aren't we?" I asked and he smiled. "My lovely precious Annie." he said and I blushed. "I love you." he had whispered before pressing his lips against mine again.

Friday

"Princess Annie." I heard somebody whispering and so I opened my eyes. Noticing Marco hovering over me, I giggled. "Good morning." he said and I smiled. "Hi." I replied and he leaned down leaving a kiss on my forehead. "How was your sleep?" he asked and I shrugged. "You kicked me once or twice, so I might have bruises later." I lied and he furrowed his eyebrows. "I kicked you?" he asked and I nodded biting my lip. "Where?" he asked and I pointed on my lips. "Here. And I deserve a kiss for it." I said and he giggled understanding the point. "Oh, now I get it." he said pecking my lips. "I had the best sleep of many." he said and I blushed. I want more nights like this one. Having my arms wrapped around you." he said and I smiled. "I liked it too, although I couldn't move properly." I said and he groaned. "Oh c'mon! Can't you say a positive thing?" he asked and I caressed his cheek pecking his lips once again. "It felt extremely wonderful smelling your cologne when I woke up." I said and he smiled. "See? It didn't hurt." he said and I giggled standing up. "I need to do my bathroom job." I said and he chuckled. "Don't let me wait too long." he said desperately and I giggled.

.....

I was walking down the street when my phone started ringing. "Hello." I answered observing a little shop filled by flowers. "Hi Ana." I heard Amanda saying. "Hi Manda. How are you?" I asked and continued walking. "I'm good and you? I'm so glad to hear you." she said and I smiled. "I'm fine. How's Sophia?" I asked. "Well, she got drunk yesterday so..not good." she said and I giggled. So much like Sophia. "Ana, I...I wanna ask you something." she said all seriously now. "I know that there was something between you and...Leo Messi. But... how far did it go?" she asked and I bit my lip. Why is she asking this? "I mean, he was here yesterday asking about you." she said and it took my breath away. "What did he want to know?" I asked. "How you're doing. If you are still dating Marco. And if you're happy." she said and I shook my head. My heart started aching. I didn't mean to hurt him. But... it happened. And I'm sorry for it. "Well, I'm doing great. I am dating Marco and I am happy." I said. "I told him so. And his response was mumbling that 'she'd be happier with me'." she said and I closed my eyes shaking my head lightly. "Ana, talk to him. Let him know that there's no way you're gonna come back." she said. It's gonna hurt, but making things clear is the best thing I can do.

× They're so cute! What do you think? But then Leo's still there. He wants her back.
× Thanks for votes and comments! :-)
× I was thinking about starting a book with various footballers. What do you think? Would you like me to do it? You'd tell me in the comment which footballer I should write about, maybe some plot and I'd write it :-) Tell me your thoughts! *excited*
