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

Chapter 29

Mercedes P.O.V

Me and Bruna wrapped up the last of the decorations and put them into a box to take home.

"You must be tired Mercy."

"Go home and I'll take care of everything else." my brother said leaving a kiss on my forehead.

"Are you sure Ney. I can clean it up if you want." I replied.

"I'm sure Mercy. Now go." he said turning me around and pushing me towards the exit.

"Okay okay." I laughed.

The weather had turned chilly , opposite of what it was when the event first started.

I didn't come by myself so I didn't have a car to take but I ended up asking Ney for his keys.

He told me he'd call another ride for him and Bru so I accepted and took his keys.

He brought his Urus today and as soon as I located the bright orange vehicle , it immediately reminded me of all the memories I'd had in the car.

More specifically in the backseat.

I ignored those thoughts and hopped in the front pressing the "push to start" button and made my way onto the highway.

Barcelona truly was beautiful but I wasn't sure if this was my home yet.

I knew it would take some time to get used too but I had already made some bad memories attached to this place and it just didn't feel right to be here.

I missed Paris even more as the days progressed.

But not as much as I missed Brazil.

I wondered what it would be like if I decided to move back home or if it even felt right to pack up my things and leave.

I wondered how different life would be if I left all these people behind and started a new life for me.

As much as I loved being around Ney and Bru, it felt like I needed to give them space to grow as a couple.

I didn't get to think too much about it though because my thoughts were interrupted by Kylian calling me.

"Hello." I spat.

"Mercedes you forgot your lipstick in my car."

"Okay so?!?"

"You can throw it away for all I care."

"I'm not throwing it away but if you want you can come get it." he replied frustrated at my attempt to dodge him.

"What makes you think I'm going to come for a goddamn lipstick." I said pulling into my driveway.

"Because I said so?" he sternly replied.

"Don't call me again unless it's important next time." I said close to hanging up.

"Look. I'm sorry about tonight but if you want to do this whole thing where you hold it against me and then make me chase after you. I'm over it Mercedes." he sighed.

"I'm not! All I wanted was for us to have a normal relationship again and you always make everything about sex." I replied.

"How am I making everything about sex?!?" he yelled.

"We don't even fuck as much as my friend and their girlfriends do."

"Oh so what your implying I'm lame???"

"Just because we don't spend half of our time fucking like your loser friends do . All of a sudden I'm lame???" I angrily suggested.

"I never said that Mercedes." he huffed.
