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

Chapter 25

Mercedes P.O.V

It was now only a week ago that me and Kylian got into that huge fight where he told me he never wanted to see me again.

I never spoke to him and he never spoke to me after that altercation.

I often came to practice to see Ney and I would see  Pedri steal a few glances my way but I wouldn't return them.

Knowing that Kylian was a few seconds away on the same field made me uneasy.

But I did my best to avoid him.

I stayed at least 15 feet away from him at all times just incase we accidentally ran into each other if I didn't stay away.

I never looked his way because honestly I was too scared too but Ney would tell me he would look my way here and there.

But I payed no mind to it.

I heard Ney speaking in Portuguese and immediately looked up towards him trying to get my attention.

"Mercedes . Você já viu minhas bandanas? Foda-se eu acho que eu esqueci deles no vestiário. Você pode ir buscá-los por favor?" my brother whined. (" Have you seen my headbands? Fuck i think i forgot them in the locker room. Can you go get them please?" )

I huffed in annoyance at my brothers command and got up from the stands to go look for my brothers lucky headband he always wore.

It had the words "100% Jesus" on it to always keep him grounded.

I grunted making my way to the locker and pulled open the door to a chilly blast hitting me as soon as I opened it.

"Damn it feels nice in here." I thought after walking in from the 100 degree weather we were currently experiencing outside.

I scavenged through Ney's locker and found multiple items.

His car keys, change of clothes, a picture of him and Bru , and some of his trophies but I still couldn't find his headband.

"Ughhh." I sighed sitting down to take a break and pulled out my phone.

I was too busy watching TikToks to notice that someone had entered the locker room.

And I had only noticed when I heard a locker slam shut causing me to jump a little.

I looked up and was met with the same eyes that told me off not too long ago.

The same ones that I fell in love with all that time ago and the same ones that hate me now.

I gave him a half smile expecting him to at least return it with his pursed lips he always did when he was mad.

But he didn't even do anything but look away.

"What the fuck is this guys deal." I thought rolling my eyes.

"I heard that." he said changing out of his shirt leaving him completely shirtless.

"So what. It's not like it makes a difference." I scoffed returning to my phone.

He slowly walked towards me and was now standing in front of me prompting me to look up from my phone.

"Why are you even here. Shouldn't you be practicing." I said looking up at him.

"Yeah but I got time out so I just came in here. I always do whenever I need a break." he said.

"Ok so move and go do whatever it is you do on your break." I said going back on my phone.

He snatched my phone out of my hand and read the screen.

"TikTok?" he laughed.

"What?"

"It's not like your not on TikTok" I said trying to grab my phone.

"I'm not actually. I have a life outside my phone." he said pointing the phone my way , teasing me to take it back.

"Give me my phone Kylian." I demanded standing up.

"Here." he emphasized extending my phone out to me.

I tried to grab my phone but instead he quickly moved it out of reach and in the air for me to grab.

"Come on. Don't you want your phone? Grab it." he laughed.

I jumped up in an attempt to grab my phone but failed miserably as I landed the wrong way and stumbled backwards ready to fall but was met with Kylian's arm around my back pulling me up to him.

"Okay okay I'm just messing with you. Here." he said giving me back my phone.

I rolled my eyes and tried to get out of his grasp but he held me firm in place.

"Remember that one time we were in the locker room all alone?" he asked.

"Y-yeah I remember." I stuttered , unable to think with his intense gaze on me.

"That was a better time in my life." he said.

"Why? Shouldn't your life be better now , that I'm out of your way." I huffed rolling my eyes.

"Why would it be?" he said looking away and letting go of me , returning back to his locker.

"I don't get it Ky. First you tell me you never wanna see me again and then you act like this?"

"Make up your mind." I replied raising my arms in exaggeration.

He stood still for a bit like he was in deep thought before he made his way back to me pinning me against the lockers.

"I miss you." he whispered, his hands wrapping around my waist pulling me in closer.

"You don't act like it."

"I'm sorry. I just don't like seeing you with anyone else and I know you already apologized about Pedri but he made a comment about you that really pissed me off so it made me angry towards you all over again." he said while moving a few stray hairs out of my face.

"I'm truly sorry about what I did Ky. Believe me. If I could take it back I would." I whispered lowering my eyes to playing with my fidgeting fingers.

"It's okay mon amour. I fucked up too. We can move past it now. We both made mistakes."

"Really Ky?" I smiled.

"You don't know how happy I am to hear that." I said wrapping my arms around him letting my head fall on his chest.

He laughed and wrapped his arms around me picking me up and onto his waist, my legs wrapped around him.

"And you don't know how long I've been waiting to do this." he said kissing me.

I closed my eyes and let myself go into his kiss remembering how it felt to have his lips on me again.

And the way our lips synced together so perfectly while making out.

"I love you Kylian." I said after pulling apart from him kiss giving him one last peck.

"I love you too mon amour."
