Call Me Maybe

Chapter SIXTEEN

So many things happened in last few day. Good things, bad things, and unexpected. Even maybe it was like a dream. Too much drama in life. Okay, it was over now, it was usefull to think and regret about that. Let said that those were gifts from Manchester.

Gemma rose from her bed. One day rest from Jürgen Klopp seemed less, she needed more than just one day to sleep and to calm her mind. 'What are you thinking Gemma? You have to work,' Gemma said to herself as she shook her head several time, tried to remove her laziness. This is the second week she worked for bvb as Jürgen Klopp's assistant internship and she still have two weeks left before she would back to Giessen.

Gemma looked at the outside from her window while she prepared herself. Damn it!! It was raining outside. She hated rain. She hated to be wet. And it made her more lazy to go to the Brackel.

After had a hot chocolate and a slice of bread, Gemma forced her feet to step. The cold weather directly touched her face skin when she got out from her apartment building. She pondered the sky above her, seemed have a doubt to go but she insisted to go finally. She opened her umbrella and started to walk. The puddles damped along they she through from her apartment towards the bus stop point. The splash of the water made her dark brown boots got wet everytime she stepped. Fortunately it made by leather so the water wouldn't perk to her sock.

"Oh my godess," Gemma muttered and immediately ran when she saw the bus she had to take was running towards the next stop. She should to arrive first at the stop point if she wanted to take the bus but apparantly the bus wheels were more faster than her feet and she had to see the bus passed leaving her. "Damn it!!" She was upset. The driver surely saw her when she ran but why he wouldn't wait for her just for a while? 'Okay Gemma, that's a stupid question. Do you think that the bus operated just for you?' Again she said to herself as she slowed her step from run to walk. She definitely will be late. She had to wait for about 15 minutes until the next bus came.

She almost reached the bus stop when she felt a car followed her. She turned her head slightly to see the car. It was a black jeep with red sticker on the car hood as a modification. What the heck? Who it was? It was really annoying.

Gemma ignored the car and kept walking towards the bus stop. But it only made the driver more often to sound the horn.

"Hey Wes," finally someone's voice made her stop. The driver of the noisy car pulled down the car window and showed his face. There was only person who called her Family name without 't' at the end of the name.

"Marco? What are doing here?" Asked Gemma with loud voice. She didn't came closer to his car.

"I honked for several time, are you deaf?" Marco asked her back.

"I don't know that it's you, so i kept walking. What are you doing here?"

"I'm driving to the Brackel and i saw you run," he said, showing his typical smile, mocking smile. Gemma raised one of her eyebrows and immediately made a puppy eyes before Marco continued to talk. She felt that he planned something. "Get in, you wanna go to the Brackel too right?" Said Marco.

Gemma raised her eyebrows again, apparantly she was wrong. "What?" She quite surprised. "No no.. I can go by bus, i don't wanna ride your car to reach the Brackel," she said, rejected his asking as she shook her head.

"It's raining and it's going to be a hard rain," said Marco and actually Gemma didn't hear any force in his voice. What Marco said was right, the rain started getting heavier. "You wanna sit there under the rain like this?" Marco asked, lifting his chin slightly to point the bus stop seat.

"Ehmm..," Gemma held her words, biting her lips. She remained silent for a while, seemed in a doubt to decide but.. Gemma rolled her eyes to the empty wet seat at the bus stop, oh my god, it seemed will be terrible. "May i ride your car?" She asked hesitantly.
