DESTINY | Kylian Mbappè

Chapter 3

I feel like pinching myself to see if this is a dream or what .If it's a dream then l don't want to wake up yet.

I'm not dreaming, Kylian is standing few feet away from me.He's in complete shock just like me.He lift his eyes and our eyes meet for a second and we both put our heads down.

"Do you know each other?"Mrs Agnes looks back and forth between us.

l swear my heart beats could be heard by anyone standing near to me .It has been 2 years since l last saw him.

He clears his throat. "Yes , w-e onc-e.."

Kylian is stuttering so l help him finish his words."l once worked on Mr Mbappe's case .."Or that's not what he wanted to say.But in a moment like this that's all we have to tell Mrs Agnes , nothing more.

"So great,then you are the right lawyer to take his case ."Mrs Agnes smiles.

She walk closer to me close enough to hug me. "Thank you.He's so handsome right?"She whispers in my ear then waves at Kylian as she walks out of the office leaving Kylian and l and the silence .

Silence.

It's been three minutes since she left the room and we are still standing in silence , awkward silence .The only sound l hear is my heart beating out of my chest.

We are both waiting for one of us to say something....neither of us speaks.

Kylian say something.

He reads my mind ."You are now an attorney Pia?"He rhetorically ask .

I gather strength to move.l walk over to the desk.Kylian follows behind and sit across to me.

"I can't believe that we just met..."He shakes his head slightly.

"Again right?"We both let out awkward small laughs.The awkward laughs , awkward silence and awkward stares everything is just so awkward.But l seem to be very comfortable with this awkwardness.

He gets up and l remain seated.He is walking around my office,glancing at everything his eyes land on. l watch him walk ,his attractive walk.

"Wow.."He says under his breath as he sits back into the chair, giving the office one last glance.

"It's been two years right..."He emphasis two and l just nod in response .It seems like my voice is ripped out off my throat because l can't utter any word.

He continues. "And you are even more beautiful ,Pia." He immediately looks away like those words mistakenly slipped out of him mouth.

I pretend like l didn't hear him so he 'l say it again."Huh?"

Say it again Kylian , l wanna hear your compliment one more time.

"I said your office is beautiful.."So l misheard him but l didn't... l heard him very clear. I just smile in response and he smiles back at me.

"So why are you here?"l ask ,looking down on files on the table avoiding his eyes.

"My contract at Psg..."

"Your contract?"

He adjust himself in the seat before speaking."Remember that year when you advised me and l renewed my contract at PSG ...it was for 2022/23 season and now it's expiring .l don't want to renew ,l want to transfer to Real Madrid .."

I don't know if it's fate or coincidence that we are meeting again in the same way we met two years ago.

"So that's your final decision?Transferring to Real Madrid?" I ask.

He laughs when he realise that l asked that because of how it went in the past when he wasn't sure on what he wanted."Yes,this time l've made up my mind Pia"The way he pronounce my name just like in the past .My name even sounds different when it's called out by him. But different in a good way.

"Mr Mbappe I would appreciate if you call me Ms Luther."l had to say this because when he say out my name it does something to me...like l lose focus.

I start looking for my notepad between files on the table.l find it and flip on the blank page to write down what Kylian has just said.l need to note down so l can get through it later and see what l'm suppose to work on.

It's taking me back to that first time we met at PSG in that meeting ....even though right now l'm looking down on the paper l'm writing on, his eyes are on me l can feel it.He did the same thing in our first meeting that time.

"I will get in touch with the PSG officials and we will have couple of meetings ..." l pause mid sentence as Kylian phone rings.He apologise as he pulls it out.l take the opportunity to look at him now that he's looking down on his phone.He's still looks the same Kylian that l fell in love with two years ago.

He shoves it back into his pocket and slowly lift up his head.l immediately look away.

"I'm sorry ,it's kinda of urgent l have to leave now."He says .l force a smile hiding how disappointed l am. I still want your presence,Kylian.

"Thank you Pia l mean Ms Luther..."He says with a smile.He stand up and make his way towards the door.

"Kylian ?"l call him out and he slowly turn around to face me.

I try to figure out what to say to him.

"I will notify you our next scheduled meeting..."He nods and walks out of the office.

The moment he steps out and closes the door , l let out all the breath l've been holding since Kylian stepped in my office .

What has just happened?

*********************

"How was work today cherie ?"Jarad ask as he sit beside me on the couch and pulls my legs onto his lap.

Remembering the events at work today ,l let out a loud sigh and don't respond.

"What cherie ?"

What should l say ?Kylian came to my office, he's my client .Kylian Mbappe is my client.My ex-boyfriend which my fiancé is fully aware of our history is my client.Jarad will definitely freak out if he hears this.

"It was tiring my love"That's what my mouth utters.

"Let me give you a foot massage."He gets up and goes to fetch massage cream.

In the meantime l grab my phone from the table .Kayle has to know about this.

Pia
You won't believe who l just met today !!!?

Kayle

Tell me..who?

Jarad walks back in .l switch off the phone before responding to Kayle text.After the massage we lay on the couch , in his arms.There is a soft noise of tv in the background .Jarad is carelessly rubbing on my arm.But my mind is too occupied, occupied by Kylian.

The moment l saw his face today , that feeling that l felt for him 2 years back came back stronger.

Did he feel the same today ?Did he sometimes think about me these past years?But he never came back to me in Strasbourg that year..Did he sometimes miss what we had?Why am I even asking myself this .It's been 2 years Pia , he has already moved on with his life .So as l did..

Somehow l'm happy that l'm working on his case ..l will get to meet him several times.Jarad does not have to know about all this.He won't approve it , l just know this.

My eyes are closed when all these thoughts roam around in my head .Jarad assumes that l've fallen asleep.He picks me up in his arms from the couch and carries me to bed.He lays me down on the sheets , pulls the covers up to our heads then he curl up behind me.Only if it was Kylian.

Next update on Saturday :)
