Fight For This Love (Sergio Ramos)

Chapter 10

"OK... Open your eyes" His quiet voice was close to my ear, startling me.

I hesitantly opened my eyes and my mouth dropped open in shock.

"Sergio..." I whispered. "What the fuck?"

His eyebrows shot up at my reaction. "You always surprise me you know. I wasn't expecting that reaction from you" He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"I'm sorry. I'm just... shocked" I hardly managed to get out the understatement of the century from my stunned mouth.

He chuckled as he placed both of his hands on my shoulders and squeezing gently as if to comfort. "You don't like it?"

"No. No, its nice, honestly." I removed my eyes from the candlelit room and looked up to meet Sergio's deep brown eyes.

"Are you ready to eat?" He asked as he led me over to the table in the middle of the room.

It was a restaurant. I didn't know which but it looked like an expensive up market one. It was also completely empty, like he had rented out the whole place for us. Sergio had also turned it into some scene from a romantic movie. It was full of candles. Literally full. And there was even rose petals. Rose petals. I jest not.

The food already on the table in the centre of the room, under silver dishes to keep it warm. Under the dishes, pasta carbonara, my favourite meal. I remember telling Sergio that, and my heart warmed at the thought that not only did he listen to me, he actually remembered.

"What did I do to deserve all this?" I asked a while later, after we had finished a delicious dessert.

"I just wanted to thank you for being an amazing girlfriend" he said sincerely, meeting my eyes as the last word left his lips.

Girlfriend. There it was. The big "g" word.

"Girlfriend?" I dared to ask him.

"Yeah. Girlfriend. That is what you want right? because I do"

"Yes that's what I want, boyfriend" I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my lips to his briefly.

"Good. Because I like giving you what you want" He said seductively, raising his hand to cup my cheep lovingly.

Later, We crawled into Sergio's bed at around 11pm and watched an old episode of friends while curled up together. It was my favourite show, but Sergio had barely seen any of the episodes.

Sergio slept in just his boxers, which was amazing for me to cuddle up against. My legs tangled with his and his arms wrapped around me as he held me tight against him. I don't remember the end of the episode, so I suppose I fell asleep before it finished.

When I woke up it was still dark and the clock on his beside table read 4am. I suddenly felt Sergio shift restlessly and let out a quiet, pained moaned in his sleep.

He rolled over again to lie on his back. "No stop!" He moaned pitifully, his voice contorted with sleep.

It was evident he was still asleep and in the midst of a nightmare. Even though no part of my body was touching him, I could feel the torrid heat radiating from his skin. I gestured to touch his arm, but his voice made me freeze.

"Para! Don't touch me" His harsh voice sliced through the darkness, scaring me even though his words weren't directed at me.

His writhed around under the covers. I couldn't bare it.

"Sergio." I moved closer to him and called his name. "Sergio, wake up."

His panted with heavy breaths and his body stilled completely.

"Sergio, baby, it was just a dream." I still didn't touch him, not sure whether he was still sleeping or not.

"Olivia...?" His voice was weak and it broke my heart.

"Yeah I'm here" I moved closer and wiped his hair away from his damp forehead. "Are you awake?"

"Yeah... yeah, I'm sorry. I sometimes get bad dreams" The moonlight streaming in from the window allowed me to notice the look of shame in his eyes.

"Baby, please, it's nothing to apologise for" I leant over and pressed my lips against his forehead, then against his lips. I softly ran my hand over the hard muscle of his bicep. "Are you ok now?"

"Yeah I'm fine" But his actions suggested otherwise as his ran both of his hands through his hair. It was obvious that the nightmare was clinging to him. "Come here, please?" he held out his arms as a signal for me to get closer to him.

I lied back down, almost on top of him as I pressed my face into his damp throat. His arms came around me, his fingers moving gently under my shirt against my bare skin as he let out out a long, heavy sigh.

"Thank you for being here" he ran his fingers through my hair gently. "I'm so glad you're here"

I pulled his lips down to mine and kissed him hard. "Me too."
