That's How It Was ║ Leon Goretzka

She's so beautiful // Leon

Leon PDV // POV (point of view / narrates Leon)

We played against Borussia Monchengladbach, we were in the tunnel heading for the field. Everything was going well, there were no goals yet, but the game was ours, in that moment, in a corner kick I just jumped and scored. I was running to the corner to celebrate, then, in the stands, I saw her, I saw a beautiful girl.

-Wow! - It was the only thing that came out of my mouth along with a smile.

I was already going back to the center of the field, when I turned around and looked her again, I wanted to save that face on my mind, that's why I turned to see it every moment.

-You okay, my friend? - Max asked, approaching me.

- Yes, why do you ask? - I said evading him

-Those girls on the corner are beautiful, aren't they? - he said

- What are you talking about, Max? - I asked to avoid him

- That's enough Leon! Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about, you don't stop looking at the girl with the scarf, although I do not blame you, she's not bad at all - he said then he ran off before I said something

Almost at the end of the game, Huntelaar scored the second goal.

-Now it's time - I said

I ran to congratulated Huntelaar, but I went with other intentions, I kept seeing her.

-I like her friend - said Max, who was behind me - Even though the one with the scarf is not so bad-

-Shut up Max, I saw her first! –

The match ended and we went to the showers.

-I think one of those friends that were with them is Karl's friend, is not he? - Max said

-Yeah, I thought that too, if I do not see her again, I'll ask Karl -

----------------------------------

-Are you ready, Leon? - said Max entering my room - We're late -

-Max is a party, we can't be late - I said mocking him

-Hey! What's up brother? - Karl said greeting us with a hug and handshake - I thought you would not come – Karl said

-Nothing of that-

- Well, come sit down at my table- Karl said

Everything was going so good and something told me to turn back, that's where she was sitting laughing with her friends and taking pictures with Karl and his friends, she looked gorgeous.

-Look Max - I told the blonde and pointed to the girls.

-They're the girls at the stadium - Max said with a smile - Look, they're with Karl, he knows them! -

We continued drinking while we operated on Karl to interrogate him, he arrived and as soon as he sat down we started with the questions.

-Hey Karl, do you know those girls you were with a while ago? -

-Of course, we go to the same university – he said

As I imagined

-What are their names? - Max asked.

-The one with blue dress is Rafaella, but we call her Rafa, she's from Brazil-

-And the other girl? - I asked

-She's Maria Fernanda, we call her Mafer, she is from Mexico, but she does not speak German-

-Do you think they'll accept if we invite them to dance? -

-Of course, both are very good people and I've heard they love you guys – Karl said

Bingo! I like her and she likes me. Karl was laughing at us, so I did not take my eyes off her, it was when she turned to see me and I smile, obviously I smiled back and returned to her place. We continued drinking with Karl's friends, I turned back to see if she was still there, but she was not.

- Look, they're on the bar - said Max

- Max, you're a genius - I said, kissing him on the head.

We took our way to the girls, how pretty that dress, she looked amazing from behind, was not so sculptural, but she had her tings, I touched her shoulder and she turned.

-Hi girls! - Max said.

-Hello - they said in German, thought she don't speak German.

We asked them if they wanted to dance with us and they accepted, I took her hand and led her to the dance floor and we started dancing.

-What is your name? - I asked her name, although I already knew and I told her mine

-Yes, I know - she replied.

- Oh, so you like football? -

-Of course – she replied

-So, you're the girl from the other time? -I said it no thinking about my question

- What do you mean, the one from the other time? – she asked

-Oh, you went with your friends to the stadium last Saturday, you were in the corner- I already had started I should finish

-Oh! Yes, it was me- she said very nervous turning to other side

-Let's get some drinks - I said, breaking the tension.

-Okay – she said and I took her from the waist towards the bar, we ordered and I broke the silence

- What did you think of the game? - I asked as I sipped from my drink.

- Very well, you guys dominated the match-

- And what about my goal? - I asked her, staring at her making me interesting

-Oh! wonderful, obviously I loved your goal - she said, she was too nervous.

She is from Mexico, she only speaks Spanish and English, she knows a little bit of German, but she doesn't speak the language very well, I recommended her learn German as the local people got heavy when someone did not speak German in Germanic lands.

She studies pedagogy at the same school as Karl, I asked her about him and she told me that I knew him, she told me that after finishing high school she took three years without studying. That's when her friend Rafaella arrives and says something in her ear.

-Well, Leon, I liked talking to you- she said -goodbye-

-Give me your phone number - I said, and then she gave me her number and kissed my cheek.

We arrived at my apartment, Max was telling me about Rafa, I had never seen him so excited for a woman, then I sent a message to Mafer.

-What you doing? -

- I'm sending a message to Mafer - I said - Why don't you send one to Rafa? – I asked

- You're right - he said and pulled out his phone, she answered the message with a "thank you, likewise", I'm falling in love.
