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

Chapter 20

Mercedes P.O.V

I was sitting in the stands watching Ney and KyKy practice when I saw someone waving their hands at me.

It was Pedri.

I wondered what he wanted , after all he was the one who told on me to Ney.

I shrugged him off and pretended I didn't see him and went on my phone.

I clicked on Instagram when I saw a notification pop up in my dms.

pedri: i know you saw me wave.

mercy.santos: leave me alone tattle tale.

pedri: i'm sorry i told on you. i was just mad at you for getting back with kylian.

mercy.santos: why??

pedri: because i like you. isn't it obvious?

I turned off my phone after seeing his text because I didn't feel like dealing with it right now.

I saw him look at me shortly after and gave me a disappointed glare.

I ignored it and made my way down the bleachers and jogged over to Ky who was chugging down a bottle of gatorade.

"How was practice baby?" I asked.

"Tiring." he said out of breath.

He put the gatorade bottle down and looked at me before looking back at Pedri.

"I think someone has a crush on you." he said teasingly.

I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"Yeah I know. He dmed me."

"Wait what?" he said glancing at my phone for a brief moment.

He returned his gaze to me and pursed his lips.

"I hope you aren't entertaining him." he muttered.

"Are you serious right now?"

"Why are you always so quick to come at me." I huffed.

"Whatever. I'm not dealing with this right now. I need to rest." he said grabbing his duffel bag and walking past me towards the locker room.

Unbelievable.

He was my ride home too.

Great ,now I had to go find someone else because Ney had to stay an extra hour for practice to make up for the last few practices he missed.

And there was no way I was asking Pedri because then we would have to talk about his feelings for me and I wasn't in the mood to explain to him everything going on with me and Ky.

I looked around briefly before locking eyes with Gavi.

I quickly looked away before he got a chance to start a conversation with me but was too late when I saw him approaching me out of the corner of my eye.

"Hola." he said with a grin.

"Hola." I replied.

"Está todo bien, noté que mirabas a tu alrededor." he asked with a confused expression across his face.

"I don't speak spanish." I laughed.

"Sorry I didn't know. I was asking if everything was alright because you were looking around a lot."

"Oh yes. Everything is okay I was just needing a ride but Ney is staying back for practice."

"If you need a ride I can give you one." he offered.

"If you don't mind that would be nice." I said smiling.

"But Pedri's driving."

"I come to practice with him on Tuesdays." he said before turning back to look for his friend that was meant to give us a ride.

Fuck.

I nervously chewed on my bottom lip as we both waited for Pedri's approval for me to join them.

He jogged over and spoke to Gavi briefly before turning towards me.

"We're leaving in 15. We need to change first so meet us by the exit when I text you." he said before both of them walked off towards the locker room.

Ugh I can't wait to get this over with.

Kylian P.O.V

I slammed the locker shut thinking about the conversation I had earlier with Mercedes.

"What business did she have talking with Pedri." I thought to myself while stuffing my cleats in my duffel bag.

I'm supposed to take her out on a date later tonight and she's still in contact with the man who is supposedly in love with her and desperately seeking her attention.

And then she gets mad at me?!?!?

I wasn't about to deal with her bullshit right now especially since Coach was already on my ass at practice today.

He said I needed to focus on my side shuffles more and pay attention to what's in front of me.

Because I kicked the ball out of range today once out of all the times I did it right.

But I was paying attention when other guys weren't even doing it correctly like Ney so I don't know why he was only coming at me but that only added to my anger.

And then Mercedes coming up to me with that bullshit just tipped me off.

I was about to grab my things and head out when I heard Mercedes name come out of Gavi's mouth and decided to stick around to hear.

"I asked her what was wrong and she said she need a ride so I offered" he told Pedri who was listening while changing out of his uniform.

"I don't mind giving her a ride." Pedri said with a smirk causing his friend to laugh out loud.

I wish I could beat him up right now.

I held in my anger while hearing those things come out of their mouth about my girlfriend and stormed out of the locker room and was making my way out when I saw Mercy standing by the exit.

I hesitated a little before walking towards her.

"Mercy."

She turned around and scoffed.

"What do you want." she spat.

"Why are you getting a ride from Pedri." I asked raising a brow.

"Because I can." she replied with a hard look on her face.

"What or you guys going to fuck later or something?"

"Is that why your leaving in his car?" I asked taking a few steps closer to her.

"Are you listening to how you sound right now Kylian."

"First you get mad at me for telling you the truth about how Pedri texted me and then you go off on me for absolutely no reason besides jealousy. And now your accusing me of fucking him." she said running her fingers through her hair ,frustrated from the conversation taking place.

"Okay fine I'm sorry. I just don't like it when you talk to him Mercy. You know how I feel about him." I said trying to reach for her hand.

She yanked her hand out of my reach and looked me in the eyes.

"Cancel the date because I don't want to go with you anymore. You make me sick." she said before walking off to where Pedri and Gavi were now standing waiting for our argument to be over.

My eyes trailed her , following her walking before looking over at Pedri who was shooting me a smirk before guiding Mercedes to his car.

Baiseur

He needed to know that Mercy is mine. But how?
