The Laws of Love | Marco Reus

Chapter 12

Aleksandra's POV

When I woke up this morning I realized that today was Marco's first day at work and I didn't think about what I'm going to ask him to do or how I'm going to make him suffer. A few hours later, I was still waiting for that woodpecker to come and see me, but of course, he's late.

"Elise!" I shout after my friend.

"What's wrong" she asks me bored.

"Where is the woodpecker? He should have been here an hour ago!" I say angry.

"Calm down, I'm here, witch" Marco says with an annoying smile on his face.

"Why are you late? If there one thing I can't stand is someone being late" I say standing up from my chair.

"I couldn't wake up. I had a rough night" he answers with a grin. "Hi, Elise" he says hugging my friend.

"Elise, please bring me Roger's case. I need to finish his defence" I say to Elise making her leave me alone with Reus.

"Now let's see what I am going to do with you" I say trying not to laugh.

"Just to make sure, I'm not going to help you with your spells" he says laughing.

"You will come here every day before and after your trainings and I will not allow you to be late because I'll make you regret it. Don't test me, Reus" I say making him stop laughing.

"I can't come here every day! I have other things to do!" he says screaming.

"Let me count how many shits I gave, one, two ... Oh, no, they flew away" I say laughing. "Now, go get to your boss a coffee. Three teaspoons of sugar. Thanks."

"I'll put four to make you sweeter" he answers and left the room.

I shook my head deciding that I had more important things to do than fight with Reus. I am his boss for the next weeks and somehow I'm going to make him pay for every single word he said.

"Hello" I answer the phone trying to look like I'm not mad that I was disturbed.

"Aleksandra, I have what you asked for" I hear Natasha tell me.

"Good, please give me the address."

"Are you sure this is what you want to do?"

"I'm always sure of what I'm doing" I say lying.

"Fine. He's closer to you than you've imagined. He's in Dortmund, Aleksandra" she says making me shiver. "Write down the following address" she continues to say. "Think again about what you're going to do. Remember how he left you the last time you saw him" Natasha reminds me while a tear fall down my cheek.

Marco's POV

Good job, Marco, you are an idiot! I say to myself while trying to figure out how to use the coffee machine. I can't believe that I have to work for her!

"I hate her!" I shout hitting the coffee machine.

"No, you don't. Don't lie to yourself, Marco" I hear Elise talking to me. "I've seen how you look at her."

"What are you talking about" I ask confused.

"You don't hate her. You hate the fact that you are starting to like her" Elise says smiling.

"I'm not starting to like her!" I say trying to make Elise believe me.

"Hey, I don't blame you. It's impossible not to like her. She's amazing."

"You are amazing too, darling" I say putting my arm around her shoulders.

"Let me show you how to use this thing" she says ignoring my comment. "All you have to do is press this little button and the machine does everything for you" she say making me feel like an idiot.
