Close to You ➳ Antoine Griezmann

Chapter 27 ♔

♔ Marisa's POV ♔

"Okay, let's stop talking about this topic!" I exclaim, feeling jealousy run down my veins.

Antoine had a girlfriend? I mean I should feel happy for him since he was my best friend but there was something that just made me not want to believe it.

Antoine just looks at me closely and bursts out laughing. I couldn't tell why he found it funny or what he was laughing at but I felt snappy and serious.

"What, why are you laughing?" I ask him, my arms crossed.

"Hahahahaha" 

"Seriously, Antoine tell me!" I snap at him, but he was laughing so much that he went all red like a tomato. 

It got to the point where he was purposely not telling me so I decided to get up and leave but something pulled me back down, as I turn around and see Antoine holding my hand and pulled me on top of him.

As I fell on him, our eyes were practically lost in each others, like being lost in a galaxy full of stars. He wasn't laughing any more and was just starring into my eyes. When I look into those eyes of his, I start to realise that I had began to feel things for him. There was more to him and I loved that. 

I start to feel shy, thinking about my feelings for him and try to get up, "Antoine, I-I-"

"Sshh" He whispers, placing a finger on my lip stopping me from speaking.

I remove his finger away and lean close to his face, kissing him. Our lips collided together, no words but just the movement of our lips and touch. I felt him run one of his hands down my back giving me the goosebumps. There was just something about his touch, the smell of his cologne and his perfect face.

Maybe, I loved Antoine all this time even when I was with Sergio and my feelings now felt like they were going to explode. We both were so lost in the moment, so infatuated by each other and this really felt like everything.

"Antoine" I whisper into his ears.

"Marisa?" He whispers back.

"We should st-"

"Trust me, you want this more than ever." He whispers, as he kisses my neck making me giggle because it tickled me. I could just feel this burning sensational feeling to have it all with him but he had a girlfriend.

"But you have a girlfriend?" I whisper, pushing him away from me as I get up and walk over to my balcony. As much as I wanted him all to myself, I couldn't do this.

Antoine trails behind me, tucking my hair to one side and kissing my neck as he gets to my ear and whispers, "But I don't have a girlfriend. That was the joke, I just wanted to make you jealous and looks like it worked."

A smile appeared on my face instantly after hearing those words from his mouth. I felt quite satisfied in a way and I couldn't stop smiling but I had to act like I wasn't jealous at all. 

"I can't believe you lied to me! Your best friend!" I roll my eyes, looking away.

"Well, do you know something?" He asks, holding a little more tighter.
