Can't leave U' alone! (Erik Durm)

Unlike Me.

-Ivonne-

My time in Gelsenkirchen was short, I travelled alone in the plain because Erik was obviously travelling with the rest of the team. Before buying the ticket he asked if I wanted to go in the same flight as the other wags (as if I already was one) but of course I refused because I wanted to be as far as possible from the spotlight as I could. I knew very well my father wouldn't blink in interfering in my life, even though we haven't spoken in years he still thinks he has the power to change my life in whatever direction he considers correct. 

Erik had booked a room in a hotel for me, so after arriving at the airport I went there right away. I have never been in this city, but my basic german was enough to find my way into the fancy hotel. During my whole trip in this country, I have never stayed on a hotel like this. The bright lobby was huge, I almost felt exhausted of the amount of walking I had to do from the entrance door to the reception, I may be exagerating though. 

After I was walked through to my room by an hotel employee, I was left alone in a very nice place. The first thing I always do is to take a look at the bathroom, I have left hotels because of the bathroom, with a budget like mine I sometimes stepped on a few undecent places. The bathtub was huge, so the first thing I planned was to take a long bath. I still had a few hours until the game.

I haven't looked at my cel since I left Munich, I think now it was a good idea because looking through my messages all I can see are questions from my sister and mom. I'm scared to open them because I don't want to find out my father knows what I'm doing. My doubts don't last long because I see a new message. 

Erik: Are you settled? 

I smiled 

Me: Yes, Erik. This hotel is awesome! Thank you so much

Erik: I'm glad you liked it! See you after the game?

Me: I can't wait to see you. Can you believe I miss you already?

Am I always this corny? No! In fact not even with my ex boyfriend (I decided to call him like that and accept the abandonment as the end of things between us)

Why Am I like this? Because we have two weeks to live this thingy we have. Because after two weeks I have to return to my life, and probably will never see him again. I want to live this without any regrets, I came here looking for adventures and just when I was leaving I encountered the biggest one in my life, him. 

Erik: I miss you too, Ive 

Me: Aha, do I have a nickname now?

Erik: I thought people called you like that lol

Me: Nope. You're the first one

Erik: Double special, then?

Me: Hiper super mega special 

Erik: <3 I have to go now, see you later? xoxo

Me: See you :*

Without looking at what was written in the conversation with my mom I sent her a message saying I was fine and was travelling a few days from now, a few days more like two weeks from now. But I was not going to say that. 

After the bath I began to look for my favorite jersey, I know it's not Erik's but I do love it because it was very expensive and was actually the first thing I bought after working very hard all summer as a waitress. Müller has always been my favorite.
