I will never let you go - Marco Reus

34. It is just good to talk to you

Marco POV

In the evening everybody was sitting in the hotel bar as Robert said. I was having a whisky while talking with Mats, Mario and Robert about the times we spend together in BVB. We were having a blast, but I could not totally focus on the discussion because my eyes were wandering every few seconds to the corner of the room where a big group of people sat and was laughing hard talking in Polish.

Among them was Marta, Kaya, Krycha, few girls and few players from Polish National Team that I could recognize. They were having fun. Marta stood up for a moment and went to the bar. After few seconds she was back with a glass of wine and she squeaked when Wojtek – Polish goalkeeper put her on his lap.

He has a wife, and she is sitting next to him – Robert whispered into my ear.

Yeah, right, ok. – I shook my head and pretended that didn't bother me.

Marco, I will kill you if you hurt her once more. – he hissed in a low voice, what made my head turn into his direction quickly. – You thought I didn't know?

I was just speechless. I have known Robert for some time and we were good friends but he never mentioned her.

Marco, I know everything, at least what she told me. But when I went to BVB she also told me not to hold any grudge against you, because you were both young and I should make my decisions about being friends with whoever I want by myself. – Robert said – It is not my intention to interfere, but I am deadly serious saying that I will kill you. I don't want to see her in that condition ever again. So please, think million times before getting closer to her.

I...I... I just want to have a friendly relationship with her. Is it bad? – I stuttered.

No it is not bad – Robert chuckled – but I am not blind, and you are not looking at her in a friendly way. Your eyes are sparkling.

Oh... well... - I looked down.

You don't have to explain yourself to me. – he patted me on the back – She is everything a man would ever want. And I can tell you that even if I am treating her as my sister.

Marta POV

The evening was slowly coming to an end. Most of the people went to their rooms and I decided to do that as well. My belly was hurting from laughing.

I went to my room put on my jacket and opened the door to a small balcony. I took a cigarette out of my pocket and lit it up. The surroundings of the hotel were beautiful, the forest around was dark and quiet and made me calm. I closed my eyes and inhaled the smoke into my lungs.

It is not the most healthy choice – I heard a voice from the left and I was so shocked that I nearly chocked to death and started coughing. – I told you. – the person chuckled.

I turned my head into the direction and I saw Marco standing on the balcony next to mine.

Gosh, are trying to cause me a heart attack? – I asked when I finally stopped coughing.

I wouldn't dare – he answered. – I am sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

It's ok. – I smiled slightly – And about smoking. I know it is not good for me, I don't do it often though. I just sometimes need it when I want to put my thoughts in order.

Everything is ok? – Marco asked. Even if we were on the balconies he was not more than a half of meter from me.

Yeah, I think so. There are just lots of things happening right now. I have a lot of my mind lately. Robert's wedding, work stuff. A lot – I said inhaling the smoke.
