I will never let you go - Marco Reus

49. So what should I do?

Marco POV

The fact that after our confessions Marta still wanted to go away made my world collapse. When she went to her walk-in closet to pack her things I was still sitting petrified on the bed. My head was pounding and my heart was beating so fast that I was probably on the verge of heart attack. I needed to do something, I needed to stop her by all means. She is the love of my life and even if my sudden idea was the craziest one I decided that I should give it a shot. She said that she had a plane in few hours so I had some time. In a crazy pace I dressed myself and stormed out of the apartment. Just reaching the ground floor I realized that I came here by cab. Fuck. Not having my car with me complicated things a little. I quickly called the cab company and in few minutes we were rushing through Dortmund to my house. Thank God that the driver recognized me and apparently was a big fan and I didn't have to bribe him to go the fastest possible.

When we reached my home I asked him to wait for me and stormed inside as fast as my shitty ankle allowed me to. With my hands trembling I started searching the cabinets in my bedroom for one particular thing. Once I finally saw a small black box my heart nearly stopped, I have opened it and after taking a very deep breath I knew that I was never so sure about anything in my life.

***************************
And when you came back she was already gone? - Forni asked me standing in the middle of my kitchen. I sighed and nodded in response.

But where did she go? When is she coming back? - Robin asked me stuffing his mouth with pizza after I finished telling him and the other guys what happened last night. Of course I left out the fact that after our discussion we ended up making love. Yes, I was sure that it was nothing less than a pure and true love.

I have no idea. She told me that she will not reveal that to me, because according to her we need to stay as far from each other as possible. - I shook my head and looked around me. In my kitchen there was a whole intervention squad and in that shitty situation I was happy that guys were with me. There was Robin, Forni and Ramsay who took care of endless beer supplies, as well as my closest friends from the team - Auba, Mario, Andre and Erik. They came to me right after landing back in Dortmund.

Because if you knew you would book a ticket there right away - said Mario taking a sip of his beer and that only made me nod.

But bro maybe we can find out? - said Auba messing with his hair - We know that you want to be with her more than anything in the world. Maybe we can ask Łukasz or his wife to check? Or Lewa?

She will freak out if she knows about it. - said Forni shaking his head.

So what should I do? - I asked resigned.

First of all you have to arrange things with Klara. - Robin said - We met her when I was having breakfast with Marta yesterday and she told her that you will be back with her. And I can tell you that I am not really sure that she had good intentions.

What do you mean? - I asked puzzled.

I am pretty sure that Robin is trying to say the thing that all of us are thinking right now. - Erik started. - Marco are you really sure that she is pregnant or is that really your child?

All the guys remained silent.

She told me that it is my child I didn't even suppose that she will lie about such serious thing - I answered taking a sip of my beer.

But did she show you a test? Or a ultrasonogram? Whatever? Is there any proof? - Andre asked.

Guys, what are you talking about? - I became slightly pissed.

What we are trying to say now Marco, is that you should check if what Klara is saying is really true. You should do that before it is too late and you have no possibility to get Marta back. - Mario said.

But how should I do that? - I asked perplexed.

I have an idea, but if it won't work you will have to drag her to the doctor - Mario answered and I nodded.

And what about Marta? I really need to know where she is and how is she doing - I sighed.

We will find that out. During the next week I have a meeting with her agency, maybe I will squeeze out this info from Paul - Ramsey looked at me encouragingly.

We are here for you bro, and whatever happens you know you can count on us. - Auba patted me on the shoulder.

The whole situation was just crap, but I really needed to clear the things out. Both with Klara and with Marta, whom I really was not planning of letting go. And the box that I held now in the pocket of my trousers was the biggest proof of that.

Hi! Today a slightly shorter chapter but I think that it is very meaningful.

Please do not hesitate to leave me some feedback!;)

Hugs! M
