Love On The Sidelines - Kenan Yildiz

Chapter 19

"Okay so we'll see you guys soon." Duru's voice rings through the phone. I nod even though she can't see me. "Yes, see you soon."

Kenan squeezes his hand on my thigh as I end the call and look out the window. "Can you turn the heater up further, gosh it's so cold!" I blow my hot breath into my hands as I cup them. "Now can you imagine me staying here for a few days?" Kenan chuckles.

I grab his hand and automatically rub it to warm it. "This is hell, except it's cold as fuck."

I had just landed in Iceland, Kenan was here for a few days with the Turkish national team to play against the Icelandic team. I came to support him and was delighted to hear that I wouldn't be the only partner of one of the players with the same idea. Rana was already here, she was even in Türkiye for the match against Montenegro and had flown directly from there to Iceland. Duru flew over from Spain and already has been in Iceland for a few hours and now we're on our way to the hotel.

"I'll warm you up, baby." He says as he squeezes my thigh. Catching the innuendo I let out a snort as he smirks slyly. "Fırsatçı," I mutter as he continues caressing my thigh. I turn the music louder and we continue our little drive to the hotel. An hour later we've arrived at the hotel and Kenan rolls my suitcase into our shared room. 

"So about warming up..." I turn to face him with an incredulous look that shuts him up and I jump into his arms once again. He immediately catches me and pulls me closer and breathes in my scent. I weave my hands through his golden strands since he likes it so much and he sits down on the bed and pulls me on top of him. I lean a bit away to face him. His green eyes sparkle as he looks at me and all I see is longing.

"I've missed you so much," his lips engulf mine in a kiss. It's slow and passionate that translates all the emotions that can be expressed physically. My lips immediately follows his guide. His hand goes from my cheek to my hair and softly tugs at it. A soft moan leaves my mouth as he moves onto my neck and peppers it with kisses and sucks lightly on it every once in a while.

I grip his neck with one hand and tug on his hair with the other as I confess, "me too." His hand moves dangerously low and kneads my butt. Before this can go any further there's a knock on the door but we ignore it per Kenan's demand. "Just ignore it, it's probably housekeeping."

His lips return to mine and this time I bite on his lower lip before licking it. The knock continues and my brows furrow. I try to pull away but Kenan won't let me, "Kenan, I think it's urgent."

He doesn't listen and I tug his head back by his hair and he hisses, "oh you want it rough?"

I glare at him but before I can say something another voice breaks through the air, "Kenan, Ela, open the door. It's us."

I groan as I tilt my head to the sky, "we're coming!"

"More like we were until you interrupted us," I hear Kenan mutter angrily under his breath. I hold back my laughter and get up from his lap, pulling him with me. We straighten our clothes, I run my hands through Kenan's hair twice as he tugs mine into place too before we open the door. 

The second the door flies open we're ambushed by two people.

"I've missed my sister so much!" I chuckle at Arda as he lifts me into the air, which catches me off-guard. I shriek a little before he sets me down. Then it's Duru's turn to hug me and I hug her back as fiercely. 

"Hey, hey, that's enough. You've gotten more of my wife before I even had a chance to." Kenan basically rips me off Duru and Arda. Instead I'm now plastered to his side, not that I'm complaining.

"I'm sorry, did you just say wife?" I ask as the words only now register. My heartbeat picks up as I watch his face, Kenan is just as shocked and confused as he looks down at me. "Did I just say that?"

All three of us nod silently. Arda and Duru are just as shocked but soon we're all smiling as Kenan still stands there shocked and sputters, "I-I didn't mean that, I mean of course you're the love of my life but I-"

I shush him with a kiss, "don't worry about it."

We quickly move on from Kenan's little hiccup as Arda once again says something unfunny.

"So the big game is in two days, how are we feeling?" Duru asks as we sip on a hot coffee in the hotels lounge. "I'm ready,  but the weather is concerning," Arda says as Kenan nods in agreement. "The countries we play in are either too hot or freezing cold, there seems to be no in between."

I frown in sympathies and squeeze my boyfriend's hand. I notice how they're starting to crack due to the cold and scold him, "you need to wear your gloves, baby. We better get some hand cream on these."

He chuckles before caressing mine in return, "aye, aye, captain!"

"After the game there will be a dinner to celebrate our win." Duru says as she blows into her cup, "don't jinx it, babe." Arda says as Duru rolls her eyes playfully, "it's not jinxing it if it's the truth."

I giggle, "I hope we win, but I'm not too sure. I mean how badly can the cold affect the fields, thus our players?" I try not to grimace at the thought but I think I'm not the only one who's concerned about this as the other three look pensive.

"We'll see, I pray we win."

After our little coffee date with our friends Kenan and I return to our room. He moves my clothes into the wardrobe while I take a hot shower. I get out and dry off quickly before getting into my warm pyjamas. 

"Come here," Kenan says as he takes off my head towel. "Thank you," I say quietly as he silently brushes my hair before drying it for me. 

I love it when he pampers me and cares for me like this. It warms my heart in a way I never thought was possible. I stare at him through the mirror as his gaze is fixed on my hair. 

Once he's done he puts away the blow drier and my brush as I close the curtains and get some water for both bedside tables.

"Get in, baby." I say as I settle into bed. Kenan changes into his pyjamas before joining me and tugs me into his chest. I sigh in content before my mind goes to Balthazar.

"I already miss Balthi," I say out loud this time for Kenan to hear and he nods as he absentmindedly runs his fingers through my hair. "Me too, bunny. Soon we'll be back."

I nod as I caress his chest, "I wish we could bring him with us but it's too stressful for him."

"We don't need to stress him out, he probably won't even notice that we're gone." He says as he chuckles lightly, I smile, "he does notice! He misses papa every time he's gone for longer than a few hours."

"I miss little fur baby too."

Kenan sets an alarm for the morning before settling further into bed, "we should get some sleep, or at least I should. I have to wake up early tomorrow." He kisses my head as I nod, "okay."

I give his cheek a kiss before we drift off.

okay so the wife thing was my slip up actually lol. I didn't even think as I typed it but I left it since it felt right. Idk how to feel about writing more explicit and descriptive intimate stuff. Kenan is a real person and I just don't want to cross the boundaries :/
