Close to You ➳ Antoine Griezmann

Chapter 24 ♔

 ♔ Writer's POV ♔

There flew the evening, as everyone partied and made this one night, truly a memorable night.

"Happy birthday Marisa. Hope it's been a good one." James mentions, giving Marisa a hug. He also looks at Antoine who stood with Marisa, "Hey buddy. You good?" 

"I'm great man. You?" Antoine mentions, going forward for a hug. After that, James disappears and Antoine looks at Marisa.

"Isn't James so sweet. He's such a nice guy." Marisa smiles to herself, looking at James walk off.

"Yeah.." Antoine mumbles looking down at his feet.

"Do I sense jealousy? I think so." Marisa giggles to herself, tucking her fringe behind her hair.

"Pfft, no. Why would I be jealous?" Antoine replies, crossing his arms and pretending as if he didn't care.

Of course, we all know he cared. Cared a lot.

Once the party was over, everyone started leaving and going home. Marisa and Antoine stood by the door and dismissed everyone and waved goodbye.

"Happy birthday Marisa, I enjoyed this evening." Gareth Bale smiles, giving Marisa a hug and smiling at Antoine.

"Thank you Gareth, i'm very glad you did. Bye!" She waves.

Koke walks over to Marisa and Antoine and wishes Marisa  a happy birthday and slaps Antoine on the arm.

"Bye Marisa. Bye man, see you later." He laughs, grinning at Antoine who rolled his eyes. Marisa stood there not knowing the inside joke but she never knew any of the football inside jokes.

"Well, everyone's pretty much gone." Marisa smiles and then walks over to Cristiano and her mother.

"Today was lit, don't you think?" Filipe chuckles to himself as he walks over to Antoine, who stood there in awe starring at Marisa walk.

Filipe ends up snapping his fingers a couple of times until he finally got Antoine's attention. Antoine looks at Filipe and makes a face.

"What?"

"I said today was lit, don't you think? but you were too busy starring at her ass." Filipe mumbles, looking away.

"What? No I wasn't" Antoine replies, shaking his head.

"Anyways, did you give her anything?" Filipe mentions.

"Of course I did." I reply.

"I got her one of those Gucci perfumes since she always smells good." Filipe smiles to himself, feeling all proud.

"Yeah, that sounds ideal. So you can sniff her phone more?" I laugh loudly, then slapping Filipe on the arm.

"What are you two doing here all by yourselves?" Marisa interrupts both Antoine and Filipe.

"Oh, I was just leaving. I've got to be up early tomorrow. It's been a wonderful night Marisa. Happy Birthday!" 

"Aw Filipe, thank you so much." Marisa replies, giving Filipe a warm hug and smiling as she waves goodbye.
