The Laws of Love | Marco Reus

Chapter 24

Aleksandra's POV

"Just answer him. He's driving me crazy" Sasha asks at the noise of my phone ringing one more time. I looked at the screen and I sighed when I saw Marco's name. I wanted to talk with him but what could I say.

"I need to go to the bathroom" I answer to Sasha leaving my phone on the table next to the empty bottle. All those drinks made me feel nauseous and even if Sasha tried to stop me from drinking he couldn't. I wasn't drunk though. The cold water made me feel much better but when I got back to Sasha's office I saw him talking on my phone.

"I can't believe you don't understand what means when someone's not answering your calls" he says not noticing I was in the room. "Of course she came to me! I'm the only one who can help her. You're nothing but a toy for her, Reus" he says amused turning around to face me. It seems he knew I was there listening. I went straight to him wanting to end this call but him being much more taller than me kept me from taking my phone away from him. "Let me tell you something, Marco Reus, Aleksandra has Russian blood in her veins, she is meant to be a stronger woman, a woman that makes her enemies fear her. She needs a real man by her side. She doesn't need a scared little boy who needs her constant protection" Sasha says ending the call.

"What the hell did you just do" I ask completely terrified.

"I answered the phone. Your puppet just wouldn't stop calling and I was getting bored" he answers like nothing happened.

"I can't believe you told him those things! He's not my toy or my puppet, Sasha! I love him! Why can't you understand this" I ask yelling at him.

"Because you have to love me! I am the man you need by your side! You came to me this night because you knew I was the only one who could help you and I did! I did help you. Deep down you know you'll come back to me and I swear you will" he threatens looking into my eyes.

"You're insane" I yell one more time before grabbing my bag and heading to the door.

One hour later I was entering my bedroom, relieved that Elise was asleep. I wasn't in the mood for explanations. The darkness that I encountered when I opened my bedroom's door made me shiver. For the first time in my life I was scared of the darkness and I can't say why. My fingers looked for the switch and after one 'click' the light made me realize that I wasn't alone. Sitting on my bed, Marco was looking at me with disappointment in his eyes.

"Marco, what are you doing here" I ask afraid of the answer.

"An hour ago Sasha answered your phone. At first I got scared thinking that he did something to you, that you were in danger but then I realized that Sasha would rather die than hurting you. Then I heard your voice. You were there with him" he says looking into my eyes. I wanted to deny all that he said. I could invent a lie or something like this but I was too tired to do this.

"Yes, I was with him" I say waiting for his reaction.

"Why" he just asks.

"I don't know. After you left my office I felt the need to talk with someone and without realizing my feet led me to his house" I confess.

"Did he help you? Did he give you the solution for your problem" he asks trying to hide his pain.

"Yeah, he did" I answer honestly.

"My agent called me today. Barcelona wants me" he says making me feel like someone just ripped my heart of.

"What" I ask moving closer to him. He can't go, he can't leave me. I need you Marco!
