One In A Million

Chapter 40

20/11/2014

Both Marco and his good fella and team mate Kevin Großkreutz had received an invitation from their former club Rot Weiss Ahlen, and for sure, they wouldn't decline it for any reason. Never they would forget about the very first professional football club they played for, neither their former coach. This club would have them always a special attachment and strong relation.

The two had spent an amazing time there, seeing their former team in action, and watching it sitting from the bench with the coach, and all of the team's staff, it was a pure pleasure. As the match came to the end, the two big stars walked to the pitch to greet the two involved teams, and every players. Some fans had been given the chance to have a snap with Marco, mostly the kids from of the region. Marco was the idol of every little kids in Dortmund, the surrounding sub cities and an entire Germany. Wherever he was traveling to, even at a simple supermarket, just a simple appearance of hi. Could create an immense effervescence coming from the lads, and sometimes hysteria from the young girls, which was always irritating him. The more the girls were screaming his name, the more he getting pissed, (sometimes) pissed off, and as a result he would just leave the area without giving the girls that pleasurable satisfaction of having that eagerly awaited selfie or an signed photo card or a dedicated jersey. On the other hand, with the children, it was a total different story. Marco had always loved kids, he could spend lasting hours in their company, signing them autographs, jerseys, or just talking about football, cartoons. Marco was like a father to them. So yeah, he didn't regret that extra hour of time he had spent after the game, at signing autographs, making all of the children delighted with joy, and fulfilled their dream.

30 Mins Later - Somewhere in the nearby of DO

"I wish we had stay more." Kevin spoke, as he watched his friend sitting close to him at the back seat of the yellow Opel car. Since they left the Ahlen stadium, he never lost the grip on his Iphone.

"Yes, me too, but the time has come to return to Dortmund, it's late already... We'll come back again for sure." Marco said with a pout on his lips, and an irritated like voice tone as he starred in disbelief his phone screen. His team mate was kinda taken back from Marco's reaction.

"I love that team, hell yeah, and it will always be so, hey dude, we had some very good time there."

"Absolutely...." Marco responded vaguely, while his fingers were busy at typing hastily on his screen.

"Marco, bro, what are you doing with your phone, since we left, it hasn't left you."

"I'm trying to reach Brooke, I didn't get in touch with her since three days already."

"Ahhhh Ja, I see, but, is everything doing good with the two of you.?"

"Yes, it is so perfect, we are doing good, and I have never been that happy ever in my life, I swear Kev, I'm the happiest man on this earth, she makes me feel so complete, I love her." Marco said. His crooked smile giving way to to one of those bright and joy filled face expression. He always had this particular smile of his face every time he was mentioning his girlfriend name.

"Yeah that is so obvious... I'm glad for you bro, you deserve all the best.... But why does this constipated face expression is showing off?." Kevin joked, this one finally obtained his friend attention, maybe that the word "constipation" triggered Marco, this one giving a weird glare at Kev's direction.

"Ughhh..." Marco said plainly.

"So.... what's wrong dude." Kevin put some insistence on his words. From Marco's strange manner of responding, Kevin had the feeling this one was annoyed by something, his mind being elsewhere.
