Chapter Eighteen:
Sandra sat in a café, with her laptop open up on the table, a couple of files open and a cup of coffee in her hand. She was so distracted with Marco and New Years that she had forgotten to get back to her company's investors on her meeting.
She spent last night at her hotel with Marco, being intimate and catching up on everything they missed throughout the year. For instance, Marco couldn't stop laughing when Sandra told him that Felix got himself a "girlfriend".
Sandra was so concentrated on her work until she saw a blonde woman come in through the door from the corner of her eye. She looked up and saw that it was Sarafina, the one person she was most dreading to see.
Sandra's palms started to sweat, as she knew it was only a matter of time before Sarafina recognized her and would come over. And how she would explain that she and her boyfriend slept together, she had no idea.
"Sandra!" Sarafina exclaimed; her perfectly plucked eyebrows rising as she saw Sandra in the corner of the room. "I need to talk to you so bad." She gushed, and quickly came over to where Sandra was sitting.
Oh shit, Sandra cursed. She was really getting nervous now. What if she already knows that I slept with Marco? I'm practically a home wrecker!
"Hey, Sarafina." Sandra replied tightly, with a nervous smile plastered on her face.
"I got something to tell you." Sarafina said seriously to Sandra.
"Me too." She replied nervously.
"You go first."
"Alright. Marco and I-"
"I SLEPT WITH ERIK DURM." Sarafina exclaimed, cutting off Sandra a little too loudly, causing a few heads to turn. She covered her mouth in awe as she realized what she had yelled out.
Sandra, on the other hand, was too much in shock to realize that they were equally even. "You what?"
"I know; I'm horrible! It's just that last night I was so drunk and he was so cute and charming! How can I ever face Marco again?!" Sarafina wailed, brushing her hands through her straight blonde hair.
Sandra found this a good time to reveal her secret. "Listen, about that. You shouldn't totally feel bad because... Marco and I got back together last night." She said slowly, making sure that Sarafina did not misunderstand anything.
Sarafina's face dropped as she heard this. "Wow. I—I don't know if I'm relieved or angry or happy." She replied in awe.
"Sarafina, the important is do you still love Marco?" Sandra asked.
Sarafina hesitated while answering this. "No."
"Then maybe it was for the best that we did what we did." Sandra replied solemnly, giving Sarafina a comforting pat on the back.
"I guess." Sarafina mumbled back in response. "I mean I know I'm in no position to judge him or be angry at him, because I'm just as bad as he is, but it's still a little bit disappointing to realize that this is how our relationship has ended."
Sandra nodded her head knowingly. "I completely understand. But this way you'll be much happier, maybe even with Erik." She smiled, trying to comfort a glum looking Sarafina.
Sarafina choked out a dry laugh. "Yeah, cause Erik will definitely go out with me." She said sarcastically.
"Hey, who knows? If Marco Reus can fall head over heels for you, anyone can." Sandra teased soothingly.

Marco found it hard to look Pierre Aubameyang straight in the eye at the team lunch this afternoon, because Pierre proudly made the statement six months ago that him and Sandra would get back together. And a proud and cocky Pierre wasn't someone that you would want to be around.
"So you and Sandra, huh?" Pierre teased Marco tauntingly.
"Shut up Auba." Marco replied back.
"Did I not say that you and her would hook up again? Did I not?" He continued.
"Yes you did, not sit down and shut up." Marco smirked at his close friend, as he followed his orders.
"I also heard that Erik hooked up with your other girl." Pierre said non-chalantly.
My other girl?
"Sarafina? Erik slept with Sarafina?!" Marco asked in confusion and a little anger.
"Calm down, boy. You're just as bad as he is, so no need to beat the shit out of him." Pierre advised.
"You're right. I should probably go talk to him; tell him that there's no reason to be worried." Marco stated, cooling down a bit.
"Well, he's right there." Pierre pointed to a table a few seats away from theirs, where Erik was seated, looking a bit more nervous than usual.
Marco stood up from his seat, and walked over to where Erik was.
"Erik." Marco called.
Erik jerked up in his seat, and looked at Marco feverishly. "Yes, Marco." He swallowed.
"Don't be so scared, Erik. I've not come to yell at you." Marco informed. "I know you slept with Sarafina, but it's fine."
Erik was pretty confused as he heard that Marco was fine with him sleeping with his girlfriend.
"You remember Sandra, right? My old manager? Well, last night we got back together, not knowing that the two of you were... fornicating. So, it's all cool, but just try not to sleep with anyone else's girlfriend again?"
Erik let out a sigh of relief. "Thank God, I honestly thought you had come over to beat the shit out of me." He laughed.
"Well, don't be so lenient next time." Marco winked. "Also, one more thing. If you're going to go after Sarafina, take care of her. I might not have feelings for her anymore but she's still a nice girl."
"I will don't worry. I think I'm starting to really like her actually." Erik smiled.

HEY GUYS!
I know It's been forever but I just had so much going and yeah but now we know that Erik and Sarafina might have a little frickle frackle.I'm starting to introduce more relationships and players into this book because I feel like it would make the plot more interesting J
Oh, and my JV football tournament went AMAZING. We were there for 6 days and played 11 games (2 per day). I love playing football soo much, even more than I love watching it.
And guess what? WE CAME FIRST PLACE!!! It was so intense bc there was a penalty shootout for our 1st and 2nd place match and thank god I scored mine but it went on to like 7 penalties and oh my lord it was intense.
But I'm so happy I brought home a gold medal <3 Plus I'm pretty satisfied that I scored 5 goals (one from 30 yards away!!), I guess those 10 laps around the field our coach made us do payed off :).
And here's the picture of me to whoever was asking. I know I'm not the prettiest and it was super late last night on my computer but anyways
Love all of you <3
