Not a secret anymore •Marco Reus / Lionel Messi•

Chapter 48

Thursday
Ana's POV

"Good morning." I mumbled seeing Leo with his eyes wide open. "Hi." he replied kissing my cheek. "What's the time?" I asked rubbing my eyes. "8:03 to be exact." he said and I chuckled. "When shall I drive your family to the airport?" I asked and he hovered above me causing me to blush. "When I'm at the training ground. They should be there at 11." he said and I nodded. "I love you." Leo mumbled and buried his face into my neck. "I love you too." I said and he kissed a spot on my chest. "I'd like to ask you something." he mumbled looking up at me. "What do you wanna know?" I asked running my fingers through my messy hair. "You're to stay with me, right?" he asked and I nodded. I have nowhere else to be. No Dortmund. There's Marco and...that'd do no good. "I love you, Annie. And I'd give you anything." he said looking into my eyes. "Leo, ask me already." I said and he smiled pecking my lips. "We've been together for what? Over a month?" he asked and I blushed. Something like that. "But I already know you're the one." he said and put a strand of my hair behind my ear. "I'd like to start a family. Our own family." he said and I froze.

"An?" Leo called and I blinked. "F-family?" I blabbed and he nodded. "But...what about m-my school?" I asked and he pecked my lips. "Annie, if we have kids together, there ain't a need to work for you." he said and I shook my head. "But I do wanna work." I said. A family? To have a baby with Leo? N-not Marco? Marco... "Then you can work for my charity." he said with a smile on his face. "C-can I think about it?" I asked and he smiled kissing me. "Of course." he said and stood up. "I'll go to the bathroom." he said and kissed my forehead. Baby...he wants a baby.

.....

I closed the door of the garage and walked in the living room. "Hey." I said looking at Leo who had his eyes only for the screen of his phone. "Hello." he said looking at me with a smile on his face. "How long have you been at home?" I asked sitting down next to him. "10 minutes?" he said and I giggled. He settled his head on my lap what made me roll my eyes. "Leo, I have to pack some clothes of mine." I said and he pouted. "I missed you." he said and turned his face to my belly's direction. "Missed me? We weren't together 3 hours." I said and he giggled. "Yeah. I know it's too long." he said and I giggled running my fingers through his hair. I used to do this to Marco. Even though he hates when somebody touches his hair. "Have you thought about it yet, An?" Leo asked and I looked down on him. I nodded and bit my lip. I think about Marco a big amount of the time. Even though I wanna forget. And I need a distraction. And I'd a good mom. And Leo...he'll be an amazing dad. "Isn't it too fast?" I asked and he chuckled sitting down. "No, not for me." he said and kissed me. Funny. Leo wants a baby with me after a month of dating, after about 3 months of knowing me. And Marco? He said that everything's happened too fast. After 22 years of knowing me.

Friday

Taking a deep breath, I was staring at the front door right in front of my face. I changed my mind. I came in Dortmund for 4 hours. Then, I've got a flight to catch to Berlin. I knocked twice and waited for mom or dad to come. "Annie!" mom squealed and hugged me. "Annie?" I heard dad calling from inside the house making me giggle. "You came." mom said and I shrugged. "Thanks to Leo." I mumbled and she caressed my cheek. "You look wonderful. You're clearly happy there." she whispered and I looked down on the ground. Marco...Marco's on my mind since I crossed the line between Germany and France.

Knocking on Marcel's door in hope Marco won't be there, I put on a smile. I have to hide the nervousness inside of me. "Ana!" Marcel said and hugged me tightly. "Hi." I said and pulled away. "W-why are you even more beautiful than before you left?" he asked and I giggled stepping in. "I..you..." he started saying something while rubbing the back of his neck. "Ana." Marco whispered. I turned around and blinked. Shit. "I..I'll go." I mumbled, but Marco came towards me quickly. "Don't." he said and I pulled away from his grip. "Don't touch me." I said and he nodded. "I promised I won't bother you, and so I should leave." I said and he shook his head. "Annie, please." Marco said and I closed my eyes. "Don't call me Annie. Don't." I said sternly and looked at him. "I wanna talk to you." he said and I scoffed. "Do you think I wanna talk to you after the outburst you had?" I asked and scoffed again. "I doubt it." I mumbled. "Please." Marco whispered. Is it pain what I see in his eyes?

"So? What would you like?" I asked crossing my arms over my chest protectively. "Apologize." he said and I shivered. "I'm sorry. For the way I acted towards you. You've not deserved any of it." he said and I nodded. He's still handsome to me. "I...I know that you're with Messi now." Marco said and I flinched. Ana, keep calm. You're with Leo. That's true. "Do you love him?" he asked. Do I love him? P-probably. Maybe. Y-yeah, I do. He's been supporting me. And the way he can talk to me is wonderful. "Yes." I said and he scoffed. "Do you love him more than me?" Marco asked with hope in his eyes. With Marco it was love that just happened, but with Leo it's love...I have to feel. "What's the point in this conversation, Marco?" I asked coldly and he furrowed his eyebrows. "What was that voice?" he mumbled. I need to get rid of him. Because if he's gonna ask the same question again, I won't be able to resist anything. So it's time to play a bitch. "Voice? At least now you know how it was talking to you." I replied and tears made their way into Marco's eyes. Don't cry, baby. Please just don't cry. "Please, Ana don't talk to me this way." he begged and a tear fell from my eye. "And how shall I talk to you?! Marco, you've hurt me! I felt like a useless idiot." I said and took a deep breath. I can't cry. I shouldn't cry because of Marco anymore. Marco was standing there looking lifeless. "Look, this...this conversation is over. I'm gonna miss my flight." I muttered and started walking past him. He caught my hand. Looking down at his hand wrapped around my wrist, I shook my head. "Let's take things slow." he whispered and I looked at him. Looking into his eyes, my heart started beating faster. You can't do this Ana. You've got a boyfriend. A boyfriend who wants family with you. You can't cheat. "This is not about taking things slow. Everybody can accept some things which happened quickly if they really love the person." I said and his lip started shaking. Finish this Ana. "This is about you not wanting me for real." I said and walked away.
