Love At First Sight Part Two

Chapter 251 - the end

I'm sorry guys but I really don't feel Erling and this story anymore. Therefore this will (probably) be the last chapter and the end of the story. I do not plan on writing another part but well, you never know so maybe one day in the future I'll wake up and my insides will scream "WRITE ERL AND EVE". Maybe one day. But for now I will say good bye to this story. I want to thank all of you for reading my story and hope you did have some fun doing so. I am really sorry that I can't finish this the way you might have wanted and it's also not the way I planned it to end. I just don't feel it anymore. Sorry. I hope you enjoy this (probably) last part and I thank you for everything.

"And what happened then?", Linnea asked with her eyes wide open, looking at her parents while her little brother Ragnar next to her also seemed to be shocked. Eve looked at Erling, smiled gently and took her husbands hand before continuing to tell their kids more of the story. Of course she had left out all the dirty details, they just replayed in her and Erling's heads. Their kids really didn't need to know about their bedroom activities. But apart from that pretty much everything had been told. Now that the children were 12 and 10 they were old enough to hear about everything, not just the romantic stuff.

"Well...", Eve said,"we stayed separated for some months... I got to know John better, your father met a girl called Cassy that he went on a few dates with but I'm the end John turned out to be a disgusting human being and" "and Cassy also wasn't as nice as she seemed to be in the beginning.", Erl interrupted her and then kept telling the story. "Some time later Julian and Maddy got married and whilst I was his best man your mother was her maid of honor. It was the first time in forever that we saw each other and I gotta say... She looked more beautiful than ever before. Like her hair was perfect and she looked gorgeous in that dress. But at the same time she looked incredibly sad and broken and that broke my heart. It took me until then to realise how much I she still meant to me. That night we talked. For hours, almost all night long."

"That night, for the first time in months, I felt something again. The painful emptiness of the previous months was slowly fading and a little flame of love started to fill my heart again. It was like... Erling was the one I originally fell in love with again and I felt like I was myself again. At least a little bit. And during the next weeks we texted a lot and we had calls that have lasted for hours and hours. And about two months after the wedding I visited him in Dortmund again. It's just been about five days but in these days it felt so much like the beginning of our relationship that we just couldn't help it and so we gave us another chance. And this one lasted forever.", Eve kept going before smiling at her husband and kissing him. Erling returned the kiss and locked their fingers even more before continuing.

"Yeah, that one lasted forever. The next summer I transferred to City and we moved into the beautiful old villa that we lived in while you were little. While I won one title after the other your mother started her social media agency and I'd say we both became really successful. Oh and of course we got married two years after the transfer. Your mummy was the most beautiful wife in the world and I was and still am the luckiest man in the world. And then three years later you came, Linnea. And another three years later you were born, Ragnar. The happiest days of our lives. And yeah... You know the rest... We're still happy, we love you two more than anything else, we moved to Leeds and I kept my promise of one day winning the premier league here. In the end everything went well and we stuck together."

The children listened closely and as Erling was done talking and pulled his wife closer, Linnea squeaked:"I want a love like that too one day. But without the leaving stuff. Dad, you really were a fool.""That's right, Princess. I really was. But in the end not even I was enough of a fool to be able to not fall and stay in love with your mum.", Erling replied and watched his wife and children. Oh how lucky he was to have them. How lucky he was to have Eve after all that happened. So many challenges, getting pregnant early, losing Maddy, breaking up, moving several times... Their love hadn't been easy for the first years but in the end it stood the test if time and it was stronger than ever. And that all had started with short moment. It had been love at first sight.
