Not a secret anymore •Marco Reus / Lionel Messi•

Chapter 39

Tuesday

I took a deep breath looking at the door in front of me. I packed all of my clothes after having a talk with Marco on Sunday. The next day, I talked to my parents, saying that I need a break. And that something better is waiting for me in Barcelona. Hopefully, everything will work the way I want it. I mean, I wanna be happy. And truly loved. And that's what only one man seems to be able to do. "Leo." I breathed out when he opened the door. "A-An." he said and I sniffled lightly. "Taxi drove me here from the airport. I hope you don't mind." I said and he smiled shaking his head. "Not at all. B-but...why didn't you call me?" he asked and I took a step closer. "Surprise." I said quietly with a small sad smile playing on my lips. Before this surprise, I had a fight with Marco. That's the reason for the sad smile. "Best surprise ever." he said and hugged me tightly. "I don't want you to leave ever again." he mumbled and I nodded. Believe me, there's no other place where I can stay.

Feeling a strong pair of arms being wrapped around me, I tensed. "It's me, Annie." Leo whispered and I relaxed a bit. I'm not used to this feeling. It wasn't common that Marco wanted me this close. "What's the time?" I asked and turned on my back. I know that the moment I lay down, I fell asleep. And that was around 4:30 pm. "6 pm." he said and kissed my cheek. "Will you stay?" he asked while I was yawning. "What do you mean?" I asked rubbing my eyes and he chuckled. "Here. I think this is more comfortable place than a hotel room." he said and I shivered. He probably wants me close to him. A new feeling. "Do you want me to?" I asked softly and he caressed my cheek. "Yeah. Next to me. So that I know you won't leave." he said and I shook my head. "I won't leave. I don't want to." I said and he smiled pecking my lips softly. "Am I allowed to call you mine?" he asked. I giggled at his cuteness. "Yes, if I'm allowed to cook." I said and he giggled. "You're the most amazing person around this world." he whispered and I blushed asking why. "You are beautiful, yet you're not using it against people. You could just...lie here, yet you wanna cook." he said and I bit my lip. "I'll show you German cooking skills if you show me Argentinian ones." I said and he giggled nodding his head. "I want you to be happy, An. I don't wanna see the sad woman who was here 3 days ago." he said and I nodded. If you make me feel loved, I definitely won't be able to push smile off my face.

Looking at Leo, I realized how much he's been doing for me. He lets me stay with him. (Even though it's his wish.) He was waiting for me so long. I stood up, but sat down on his lap immediately. He chuckled lightly and I smiled. Marco used to ask me 'what's going on', but Leo smiles and chuckles. "Leo? Will you be fine with me living here?" I asked and he giggled nodding his head. "I've wanted you since the very first moment, An. And I'm not leeting you slip through my fingers." he said and I blushed. "But...all your football routines, won't you mind me being here?" I asked and he sighed lightly. "Annie, be sure that I'll be absolutely fine. Even more than fine with you around me." he said and pushed a few strands of hair off my face. I pecked his lips and pulled away shyly. "I'll do shopping tomorrow." I said and he furrowed his eyebrows. "What do you miss?" he asked and I blushed. "Caloric food." I said and he giggled. "I'll find a hidden place for it. I promise." I said and he kissed my cheek. "It's fine. I'm resilient when it comes to sweets." he said and I smiled. "Thank you, Leo." I mumbled. "For waiting for me so long. For letting me stay here." I said and looked up at him from my hands. "But most of all, thank you for making me feel loved." I added and he grinned. "I don't need to hear it from you, take your time. But I'd like the permission to say it whenever I feel like it." he said and I nodded gently. "I love you, Ana." he said and pecked my lips. "And only now I've realized how much you fit to me." he said with a giggle placing his hands on my back close to my ass.

I looked out of the window and sighed. It's definitely not Dortmund city out there. I wish I had had the chance to stay there. Why has Marco got tired of me? Wasn't I good enough to him? Was I boring? "An." Leo said wrapping his arms around me from behind. I smiled lightly. I seem to be enough to somebody at least. "I haven't asked, but...will you sleep here? Or the guest room?" he asked and I bit my lip turning around. "I don't know." I said and he leaned in to peck my lips. "You're so beautiful." he whispered and I blushed while giggling. "I'm wearing my pyjamas, Leo." I said and he giggled. "Yeah. But you still look amazing." he said and I smiled. "Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow?" he asked and I shivered. Dinner? In public? That's....way too fast. I...shouldn't. Not yet. "Would you be angry if I say no?" I asked worriedly. He had looked down before looking into my eyes. "Of course not." he said and caressed my cheek. "I'm glad that you're here with me. To stay. I think dinner can wait." he said and I smiled kissing his cheek. "Thank you." I mumbled and he nodded. "Shall we go to bed now?" he asked and I nodded. Leading me to the bed, he had kissed my cheek before I lay down.

I was looking up at the ceiling not knowing how I should be laying. I mean, I don't feel comfortable in this position because...I don't even know why. It's just not my bed! "Annie?" Leo asked softly and I looked at him. "You look like laying in the coffin." he said with a giggle and I blushed. "I just don't know how to settle myself." I said and he pouted. "You know, you can just put your head here." he said and placed my head on his chest gently. Okay. Breath Ana. "Goodnight." he said and kissed the top of my head. "Night." I whispered and let my eyes close. I miss Dortmund. I miss my family. I miss my friends. I miss Marco even though he was yelling and screaming that I should leave. But I have Leo. And friends too. And Barcelona is not that bad city. It's nice actually. I don't need Marco.
