to love is to take a risk (sequel to risky behavior)

Chapter 8

Kylian P.O.V

I was about to go to sleep when I got a message from Mercedes.

I wondered what it was about since last time I saw her we weren't really on talking terms.

I couldn't blame myself for being mad because any man would be after what she said.

I wasn't going to share her with João.

The fuck.

And the fact that she tried to pull that little move made me even more pissed.

I brushed it off and decided to sleep on it but checked Mercedes' message first.

It was an attachment.

Huh.

Wonder what it could be.

A picture of....what the fuck?

She's getting fingered by João. And she sent me a fucking picture of his finger literally inside of her pussy.

I immediately got up from my bed and threw my phone against the wall.

What the fuck is wrong with her.

I scrambled to found my phone that I had thrown earlier and called Mercedes.

She didn't pick up at first but picked up the second time.

"Hello Ky. What happened. You literally woke me up out of my sleep" she said yawning.

"I woke you up out of your sleep?!?"

"That's all you have to say" I yelled.

"You sent me a picture of João literally finger fucking you and your the one who's complaining?!?!?"

"You deserved that after how you treated me when you came over today" she said sounding confident.

"I would never do this to you."

"Your so quick to be with another man when I literally was over here thinking about you before going to sleep." I said sounding defeated.

"Ky I love you. A lot. But I can't take the way you treat me. You make me feel like the shittiest person ever." she said in a lower tone.

"But even after you treat me like shit I still love you."

"You've never once admitted to me that you love me ever since we got back together. The only reason I slept with João was to fill the void you felt behind. I never meant to hurt you I'm sorry meu amor. You mean everything to me."

I scoffed through the phone.

"I don't want your pity Mercedes. I called to ask for an apology. Now give it to me" I snapped.

"I can't believe you would say that after I just spilled my fucking heart out to you" she said.

"I don't give a fuck Mercedes because what you did was way worse than me than giving a shit about what you had to say."

"If you really loved me then you wouldn't have sent that picture." I shouted.

"I said I'm sorry. Why can't you just accept the fact that I truly am sorry Ky. I didn't mean it. I just let my emotions take over." she said about to break down.

"Forget it. Because I don't care. Just say your sorry but this time I want the actual apology. And don't bother calling me or texting me anymore. Because I'm done" I said.

"I-I'm s-sorr-

"Hurry up Mercedes. I don't have all day." I said abruptly cutting her off.

She sniffled a bit before saying it again.

"I'm s-sorry."

"It's okay I don't care." I said before hanging up.

I tossed my phone on the bed beside me and went to sleep.

I didn't even bother charging it because of how fed up I was from Mercedes.

I was pretty hurt too.

As much as I am tough. When it came to people I loved I got effected by their actions.

And Mercedes was someone who I was very protective of in a loving way.

I did love her. Even though I didn't want to admit it.

I was just scared of saying it and then something happening again like last time.

She was better off with João anyways. Or maybe that Pedri guy would be good for her.

Anyone but me.

I woke up early today because I had training in the morning.

I headed to Camp Nou and saw my teammates already on the field and training.

I jogged over to where Neymar and some young looking kid were and started practicing today's drills.

"Look who finally made it to training" Neymar said laughing.

I rolled my eyes at him and got behind him in the line for our warm ups.

"Hey. I'm happy to see you on our team" said the same kid who I had seen previously.

He looked like a sweet kid.

I forgot what his name was. I tried to remember it but eventually gave up.

"Thanks man. I appreciate it." I said giving him a smile.

He reciprocated it before returning back to training.

I looked around to see were Pedri was and saw him training with the guy who had complimented me earlier.

It looked like they were close friends the way they were laughing and joking around.

I remember when me and Ney used to be that close before our careers got in the way.

I hope that they didn't screw it up like me and kept that friendship.

It was important to have those wholesome friendships in futbol because everyone else was too busy competing with each other.

Including me.

"Hey pay attention" snapped Neymar gesturing me to take my turn doing the drills they had set up for us.

"You should pay more attention to that ankle during warm ups" I said looking down at it.

"Should get it to be more strong , seeing how you usually end up every now and then."

He scoffed before jogging away to the next warm up.
