Chapter 10 - Love Illusion

Leo POV

"God, Leo, I still can't believe this." Anto smiled softly as she flipped a pancake, and I chuckled quietly as I moved closer to her and hugged her from behind, my arms slipping around her waist. 

"Nor can I, Anto. But I'm glad it happened." I leaned down to give her a kiss, and felt her hands slide around my neck and I pulled her into me, but she drew away before it got too intense. I pouted. "What?" 

"I'm going to burn the pancakes if you keep doing this, that's what." She laughed, pecking me on the lips once again before returning to the breakfast. I took a moment to just admire her natural prettiness, her smooth and makeup-free skin glittered golden in the orange sunlight from the early dawn. The way her eyes crinkled at the edges as she laughed when I tried to press my lips to hers. The guilty pleasure evident in her smile when she finally gave in and let me kiss her. 

God, she was so beautiful. 

"Anto... I have training!" I whined, my arms draped around her waist, burying my face in her neck, feeling the vibrations as she chuckled. "I don't want to go to training, I want to stay with you." 

"Come on, Leo. You've got to go. You'll be late if you don't hurry." She raised her eyebrows as she stacked three mini-pancakes on my plate and handing them to me. "Now eat." 

"You're so pushy, Anto." I grumbled, digging into my food reluctantly. "I hate you sometimes, I really do. You are so fucking bossy." 

"You know that you love me though," she kissed my cheek, and I could feel her smile on my skin. I loved it when she kissed me, even when we were just friends. She always seemed so happy around me, around everyone. As her lips detached from the little spot just above my jawline, I couldn't help but grin, wide and goofily. 

"Yes, I do really love you."

God, she was so beautiful. 

The sun was hot and blazing and dry on my skin as I pushed the car door open and got out lazily. I yelled a 'Good morning!' to Luis as he jogged towards me and I hugged him. 

"Hey! How was last night?" I asked mischievously. Luis had a date. "Did she..."

"Yes, she did. At my house, too." He blushed, and I laughed hysterically as I clapped him on the back. "She's hella nice... and hella hot too. She said I was a really nice guy, and we should do this again. I wasn't sure whether she was talking about the dinner or the sex, though." He joked, and I chuckled. 

"Wow... my best friend's growing up!" I pretended to wipe a tear from my eyes as I latched my arms around him in a half-hearted hug. "Luis Suarez has got himself a wife! Have you bitten her already?"

"Oh, piss off, Leo! You're the only single one in the group. Even Neymar's dating someone now. Bruna, some actress or whatever." He said and I felt the flame in my chest rise once again. Neymar was dating Bruna. He cheated on me with Bruna. BRUNA MARQUEZINE.

Gah! Fuck off! Go away! Bitch!

"Actually, I'm not single. I'm dating Anto now." I said indignantly, setting my bag down on the changing room bench. Luis's mouth dropped open, so low that I could see every single one of his teeth. 

"Antonela? Antonela Roccuzzo? Your pretty best friend?" He gaped, and I playfully punched him. He shut up as he realised what he said. 

"Only I  can call her pretty." 

"God, the entire Barcelona team thought you were in love with Neymar, man. But then I saw you kiss Cris and stuff... let's move past that. But seriously, it looked so obvious that you had a crush on Ney..."
