Close to You ➳ Antoine Griezmann

Chapter Four ♔

♔ Marisa's POV ♔

The sunlight peeped through the curtains, allowing light to enter my room. Birds tweeting and there were the sounds of chitter chatter coming from downstairs. The voices had to be little Cris and Cristiano.

I rub my eyes and they were wide open. My hair was in a mess and so was my bed. Time to get ready and out of bed.

***
After blow drying my hair, I grab a hair brush and brush my hair up into a little bun. I wore a oversized grey jumper with some black knee high socks.

Just then, I remembered I should check my phone. I always had a habit of checking my social media in the mornings. So I pick up the white iPhone that sat on my bedside drawer and unlock the phone.

"Wait what?" I mumble to myself. There again was the picture of that Antoine and his friends as the lock screen. I had completely forgot that we both had each other's phones.

"He better have replied" I mutter again opening up his Instagram and checking the direct messages. There were quite a few messages from different people but I finally found my account. And there was an unread message. I go to click on it and-

"Marisa! Breakfast is ready! Come down!" Cristiano shouts from downstairs.

I lock the phone and shout "coming!" and make my way downstairs.

"Did you sleep well?" Cris asks me as I sit down and place a pancake on my plate and drizzle some honey and strawberries on it.

"Yeah. I did thanks. You?" I say as I begin eating.

"Good good. I did of course, my victory was great!" He chuckles drinking a glass of water.

Little Cris just sat there stuffing his face with fruits and a pancake.

"Papa you should've scored more goals!" Little Cris giggles as he waves his fork around.

"Hahaha. It can be tough sometimes son. Next time, I'll score more for you okay?" Cris responds with a cheeky grin.

I just ate my food quietly thinking about the message and that my phone was with that damn footballer.

"And you better watch out with that fork? I don't know what you're doing with it but you're about to poke someone with that thing!" Cris adds as he places little cris's fork down on the table.

"Hahaha" I laugh in reaction to Cris's comment.

I then clear my throat and try to find out more about that footballer. "Hey um, will you be playing Atletico again?"

"No maybe not. Not sure. Why?" Cris questions.

"Oh nothing I was just wondering. It was a great match yesterday, me and little Cris were really enjoying it. Weren't we lil Cris?" I ask little Cris as I give him the look.

"Yeah. Papa scored two goals. We won!" He exclaims getting all excited again with his fork until Cris had to place it on the table again.

"Yes, yes. That's right! I'm so proud of you Cris, really. We should really celebrate your success about how hardworking you are." I smile cheerfully.

"Really? Haha. I'm very lucky to have you both in my life. Family is everything like they say. One day, you'll have a family of your own and they'll mean everything. Not as much as this family but you know!" Cris smirks laughing.

He always did that. He got all emotional and lovely and ruined it with his sarcasm.

"Oh god. I'm used to you Cris. No but seriously, family is everything! I say this calls for a party? Just to have all our friends over!" I reply trying to hint out that we should have a party.

"I like that idea!" Little Cris grins. He has this cheesy grin actually. God knows what was going through that brain of his.

"Perfect! Well I'll organise it all. If you don't mind, but can we invite a few footballers from some of the teams you've played recently? Like Dortmund, Atletico.. You know! Just so we can have everyone there and it be a good time!" I giggle trying to make myself seem normal as possible and try not to hint out too much about Atletico.

I just wanted my phone. Seriously. And the only way to do this was to throw a party and invite that Antoine. I can't imagine what he's already done on it. The thought of my phone being with someone I didn't know made me feel uncomfortable but I guess he probably felt the same, seeing as I had his phone too.

On top of that he was creeping on me. This would be the perfect time to switch phones back and also confront him.

"Well, I say we throw the party later in the evening. I'll get everything done in the meantime!" I wink at them both.

"In the evening? How can you invite everyone and set everything up in the space of a few hours?" Cris asks shocked.

"I'll get my friends to help me and I'm sure everyone's still around. Besides, there's no games today as far as I'm aware and these people are going to have to make time to party hard right?" I say winking as I get up and skip off.

***
"There! I've invited everyone that should come and finished all the preparations. Including Antoine. He better not be doing anything tonight or I'll drag him to my house!" I mutter to myself as I close my laptop and stand up from my bed.

My friends Elisa, Jada and Florence helped me with the set up and now all we had to do was get ready. They all knew about the phone swap situation and couldn't stop pestering me about Antoine.

"You might as well keep his phone." Jada laughs.

"Yeah. He's kinda cute." Elisa adds smiling at herself in the mirror.

"Okay you're right about him being cute but why would you want to keep his phone?" Florence asks looking confused.

"Okay guys! Can we stop thinking about Antoine and think about what we're gonna wear tonight? I mean we've only got two hours left before everyone turns up!" I snap at them three.

"Woah" Elisa mutters.

"Well sorry but if we waste time talking about Antoine instead of getting ready, we'll look ugly. Come on guys." I moan as I walk over to my wardrobe dramatically looking moody.

I don't know why but I felt this tingle of, dare I say, jealousy when they all spoke about Antoine. Especially calling him cute. They didn't even know him..

Actually neither did I. I mean for all I knew, he could've been a goon or something I don't know. Anyways, what do I wear?
