The Laws of Love | Marco Reus

Chapter 26

Marco's POV

"Are you sure you don't want to accept their offer" my agent asks one more time. He couldn't believe I was refusing Barcelona's offer.

"I'm sure. I'm not ready to leave Borussia" I answer honestly. "I don't want to go there and sit on the bench. It's better if they keep watching me and think if they really need me there" I continue to say shocking my agent. Actually, I was shocking myself too. If this offer would've come two months earlier I would've said yes without any doubt. But now, things are much more complicated.

"Okay, then, I'll try to keep an open door for you at Barcelona" he says making me smile.

"Thanks, you're amazing" I answer back before seeing him stand up and leave the table we have been sitting to. I paid the bill then I went straight to the stadium where I had to train with the team.

"If you're going to keep looking at your car I'm going to start believing that you're in love with her" I hear Aubameyang joke behind me.

"You can't really blame me, I've missed her" I answer back looking one more time at my Aston Martin.

"No, but I can make jokes about your relationship with her. Does Aleksandra know how you feel about the car" he asks while we started walking to the locker room.

"Very funny, mister 'I'm so obsessed with my hair'" I laugh making Auba stop making jokes.

"So, are you ready to score again" he asks me.

"You have no idea" I answer with a big smile on my face.

"So, are you going to see your girl now" Erik asks me once our training was over.

"Why are you so curious" I ask back smiling.

"Because she's one of the hottest woman in Dortmund and now she's your girl, you lucky woodpecker" he laughs when saying the last word. I should've never told them that Aleksandra used to call me 'woodpecker'.

"You know, I'm still wondering if I should hit you or not for calling my girlfriend hot" I answer trying to be serious. "Do you have a crush on my girl, Durm" I ask moving closer to him.

"Of course not" he says really quickly.

"Take care, Durm, Reus is very dangerous. I think he loves Aleksandra more than his car and that's something new for him" Hummels says laughing.

"My friends" I laugh ironically before leaving the locker room.

"Come on, Aleksandra, answer the phone" I whisper to myself again. I was trying to get in touch with her since I left the stadium and now I'm parking outside her flat even if I didn't know if she's home or not. I climbed the stairs and a few minutes later I was knocking at her door. Like I was expecting, Elise was the one who opened the door.

"Marco, I didn't know you were coming" she says smiling. "Please come in."

"I didn't know I was coming either" I answer honestly.

"Alek is not home" Elise confirms my thoughts. Of course she wasn't home.

"Yeah, I kind of felt it" I say sitting on the couch. "But it doesn't matter, we can spend some time together. I can't remember the last time we talked like we should" I say trying to hide my disappointment.

"Nice try, I appreciate the effort" she answers back. "But I have no idea where she is and I think you're right. You look like you need to talk."

"How's your relationship with Marcel going" I ask knowing that she'll start smiling.
