Close to You ➳ Antoine Griezmann

Chapter 17 ♔

♔ Antoine's POV ♔

I could just feel the warmth of Marisa around me. She seemed so happy I won and if i'm honest, I haven't seen her this happy in ages. Especially after her quarrel. But there was just something on my mind. Koke was about to tell her something and I didn't like the sound of it. I need to find out what he was going to tell her.

"What do you want to do after this?" She lets go and asks me. I just run my hands through my hair, thinking of what I could tell her.

"Oh uh, I have somewhere to be actually. Why?" I ask trying not to make anything too obvious.

"Oh. I see, well I'm very happy today. I'm going to talk to Sergio now I think. Thank you for making me feel happier than what I was. It means a lot." She smiles and then gives me a small kiss on my cheek. 

What just freaking happened Antoine? She actually just kissed my cheek oh my god.

After she left, I went back to my locker and grabbed my phone. I quickly sent Koke a text message, asking to meet up. Surely, he wasn't too busy.

Moments later, I arrived to Koke's house. I rang his mother opened his door. Crap, he had family around.

"Antoine Griezmann? Come in my lovely." She says as she puts her hand out and I take her hand and walk inside. Gosh, I loved his mother.

"Antoine! Over here." Koke shouts, looking at me and indicating to come over by waving at me.

"What's up man? Why did you ask to see me?" He asks again, drinking some water.

"Well, uh I just wanted to ask you about Mar-"

"Would you like anything Antoine my dear?" Koke's mum interrupts me. I look up and give a smile and respond, "Ah, no thank you."

I paused and waited for everyone to disappear so I could finally speak.

"Okay, so you know earlier today?"

"Mhhm"

"Well you was speaking to Marisa and you was about to mention something to her"

"Oh yeah. Until you came and interrupted me. Was that on purpose?" Koke questions, now looking serious.

"Yeah. Well, I need to know what you was going to tell her?" I reply, with my hands on my chin and my elbow resting on a cushion.

"Well I was just going to tell her that I saw Ramos with a girl. Holding hands an-"

"Oh. Then that's not that-"

"And he kissed her."

"bad.." Antoine mumbles and pauses.

"Yeah exactly. I just wanted to let her know." Koke crosses his arms. 

"So why did you exactly stop me from telling her? Doesn't she deserve to know?" He adds after looking confused.
