Tennis Imagines

Alexander Zverev

You missed him, you missed him badly. You loved him, you loved him hardly.

Three weeks ago, you and your boyfriend Alexander broke up because of several issues in your relationship. He was way too jealous while you were way too insecure about yourself. It got on both of your nerves and you decided to break up. However, the moment Alexander moved out from your house you missed him and you couldn't stop thinking about him. The day he moved out you tried to keep it all together, but once you closed the door the tears started falling down your face and you felt like your whole world was going to fell apart.

Other then trying to move on from him, you had to face him at least three times a week during tennis practices. Alexander was one of the biggest tennis players in the world and you were making your own debut in the tennis world soon enough. Although you were on place number 44 in the world many people knew you and Rafael Nadal was your best friend. 

And here you were, waiting for Rafael to escort you to the dinner you were going to. It was also the first time that Alexander and you were heading towards the same thing, since you two broke up. ''Hey, y/n'' Rafael said as he walked up to you. You tried to crack a smile, but you had this feeling that tonight would end up being a disaster.

''Hey Rafa, thanks for escorting me tonight. I haven't been able to find a date yet'' you answered and you grabbed your purse. Rafael smiled at you, ''haven't you even tried? I can name at least four men who would be honored to go with you tonight'' he answered, and although it was a really nice compliment you couldn't stop thinking about Alexander. 

''I'm just not ready, Raf'' you whispered and you shove your arm into his arms. Rafael opened the door for you while there was a silence between you two. You never talked with Rafael about the struggles you've been through since the broke up. It was something you had to face on your own. Getting petty from your friends wouldn't help anything. 

''Just to prepare you for what you're going to see tonight, y/n'' Rafael said as he walked next to you. You looked up to him, hoping that he wouldn't tell you what you expected him to tell you. 

''I've heard some people saying that Alexander is bringing a date tonight..'' Rafael slowly said, hoping that it wouldn't hurt you too bad. You felt the tears coming up your eyes again, but you tried to hold them back and you succeeded. 

''It's okay, he has the right to move on,'' you said as you looked at the huge building. ''I just wish it would've been me'' you answered and you two carefully crossed the street. Rafael nodded and then waved at some friends of him. ''You can go say hello, I can go to the dining room on my own. I'm sure Andy and Simona will help me out there'' you smiled and you gave Rafael a quick kiss on his cheek.

''Are you sure? There's no problem for me if I have to wait! I can bring you upstairs y/n, I want you to be happy tonight'' he answered and he looked at you. ''By the way, you look stunning. In that dress Alexander will be blown away'' he quickly added. You smiled for a bit and watched him walking away towards his friends.

Carefully you opened the big doors and looked at the hallway. Beautiful lights and Christmas threes gazed you and you kept looking at them. ''Hey miss....'' a man said while he walked towards you. You were distracted and looked at him with big eyes.

''Are you here for the dinner?'' he asked while he looked at you. You looked at him, realizing that you must look like a fool standing in the hallway like this. ''Uhm yes,'' you quickly answered while pulling yourself together.

''So are you here alone.....?'' the man asked with a hesitate in his voice. ''No, my escort is outside but he's talking to some friends. I am ready to go up so can you tell me which floor I need to go to?'' you smiled and the man nodded quickly while walking towards the elevator.
