It was meant to happen (Marco Reus FF)

After-Match Party

 Germany was now classifed for the European Championship. They had won 2-0, the two goals were scored by Thomas Muller. Low classified the match as german perfection, every player had made such a great performance and it was like they were playing back in 2014 during the World Cup. Even the media praised them, saying they were finally back and also were a very serious candidate to winning the title.

The team was still in the lockeroom, finishing getting ready so they could celebrate the qualifying. They were going to have some drinks, food and maybe dance a little...enjoy themselves because tomorrow everyone was going back to their clubs. 

"So, where's the celebration party at?" Mario Gotze asked his coach while taking his boots off. He was one of four players who was still dressed with Germany's kit. 

"It's one of Frankfurt's main squares, a restaurant called Lieble. We have the place just for ourselves and for your friends and family, of course. You can go ahead and informed them." Low replied in a loud voice so that all the players could listen. 

"Thanks" Mario muttered, then he turned his attention to the guy that was next to him, Marco. He was writting something on his iPhone, Mario could imagined what and for whom. " Carole?"

Marco briefly took his eyes from the phone, nodding and smilling. " Yeah, I'm telling her what restaurant we're going so she can meet us there."

Mario couldn't actually believe that his friend was doing something like this, he had never taken a girl to the clubs celebration dinners, Christmas dinners...or even national team dinners. Carole was really special to him, he could see that. He joked, " Who are you and what did you do to Marco Reus?"

--

Two hours later, the players and DFB staff had arrieved to the restaurant, which was already full with people they all knew - family, friends, girlfriends, wives,... It was a laid back atmosphere and everyone was happy and being themselves because there was no media around. It was only them and their friends and family celebrating with a big dinner the qualifying to the Euro 2016.

Marco was drinking a beer while he waited for Carole to get out of the ladies room, when Albert saw him. They greeted each other and then he said, " Congratulations on the qualifying. You made a very good game."

"Thanks, but it wasn't just me out there, we all did our part well." Marco said politly. 

"I know Marco," Albert teased, " who do you think you're talking with?"

Marco laughed lightly, "Yeah, you're right. Sorry, by the way I wanted to you about -" 

Albert cut him, " Carole and you're relationship with her" 

" Yes, I don't want you to think that I'm taking advantage of your daughter...and I don't want you to think I'm a bad or stupid guy...just because I dated Lena in the past and now Carole. I also know that I didn't behave well two months ago, I was stupid it wont happen again. Albert, I like Carole, I really like her" he said nervously, he hated having does talks but Albert was a nice guy and a cool father to Carole, he didn't want to be on his bad side. 

Albert smiled, " Don't worry Marco, I know you're a good guy and you're going to make Carole very happy," and him very happy because he was going to be a grandfather, but he couldn't share that yet. 

" That's good to hear," Marco said relieved, " Do you know where Car is?" 

" She is in the bathroom, " Albert replied, hoping that his daughter wasn't throwing up because of the pregancy, he knew the first months were complicated and varied, some women had first easy three months, others had complicated ones.
