Secret Love(Sascha Zverev)

Chapter 19

Aggie POV

"You're so handsome" I whisper into Alex' ear before kissing his cheek. I look at him with his mouth slightly ajar and his eyes closed. He is so adorable when he sleeps.

I take my phone out of my jacket pocket and go on Twitter. My Twitter has been busier than usual. People have been talking about who Sascha's mystery girl could be. Somehow the picture of us kissing got out.

I always knew this would happen at some point but I kept trying to deny it. I don't want to be known by the tennis world other than being a journalist.

I begin to yawn as my eyes fall heavier and heavier each blink.

Leaning over I rest my head on Sascha. I close my eyes for good, trying to drift off.

"We're soon there sweetheart" the driver calls out from the front seat.

Returning the smile, I sit up and start shaking Sasch.

"Huh?" His eyes jolt open. Within a second he is settled down and looking out the window at our surroundings. We are back in New York. I love this state. I'm happy I'm back here with him.

We were only apart for three days but that was too long for me. Breaking up with Sascha showed me I never want to be apart from him again.

"Wow. It's been so long since I was at New York" I state, in awe of my surroundings. This city is one of my favorite places on earth. I'm happy I get to experience it with the one I love now. He makes any place ten times better.

He pays the taxi and carries my bags into his hotel room. It's last minute and all the rooms are booked so Alex is letting me share his room for two weeks. "Let's go to the beach." He suggest.

I find my bathing suit in the smaller of the two bags and go into the bathroom to change.

The two of us gather all our beach stuff and start walking towards the beach. I take his hand in mine and have a small conversation on our stroll.

"I love you. Thanks for showing me that you actually love me. I've had a lot of people in my life who should have loved me but didn't. You had no reason to love me but you did. I just wanted to let you know I love you even more for that." I lean up to his level and kiss his cheek.

"How could someone not love you? I know I'd be a fool if I didn't. Let's enjoy our day and not be sad" he must have noticed my facial expression at the thought of my mom and sister not loving me the way a mother and sister should.

I begin to rub my sunscreen in while Sasch struggles to sets out two towels with the wind blowing them around. I can't stop laughing as he becomes noticeably agitated.

"Oh my gosh" I cackle.

He looks over at me with annoyed eyes as I walk over to help him. He puts the umbrella out and I squirt more white cream into my hands. Rubbing them together I begin to rub Sascha's arm. I can tell Jez has been doing a great job with him.

I rub the white cream in and keep rubbing his arms.

"Ags, I think it's rubbed in enough." He chuckles at me.

"Sorry. I got a little distracted" I give his muscles one last touch before putting my sunglasses on.

Grabbing his hand I lead us into the water. You can never go wrong with a day at the beach.

After an afternoon at the beach and sunbathing I sit in the shallows of the water and feel the waves rush over my body.

I see a pair of legs bend out of the corner of my eye and see Alex sit down beside me. He pulls me into a side hug and we don't say much, just watch the waves crash feet in front of us then rush towards us before retracting back to where they came.

"OH MY GOSH!" I say as I feel a small furry black blob run after me. Sascha nearly falls over laughing at me. "You scared me to death Lövík!" I laugh while petting his floppy little ears.

"We thought that was you down here. We were just taking a walk and I guess Lövík couldn't contain his excitement. He missed you Aggie. We all have. I didn't know you were back" Sasch's parents come over and greet us. I immediately stand up and hug them.

"Sascha drove up and got me. We've been here at the beach ever since" I explain.

Irina just smiles. "Well we don't want to hold you up. Come on Lov!" She calls while walking away. Lövík instantly forgets about Sascha and I and runs to his parents.

"I think we should get going too. How about pizza and movies in the hotel tonight?"

He grabs my hands and helps me up before guiding us back to the room. This is what I missed most. Those few days we had where we could be lazy and not do anything. We don't get many of these. I always had an article to write or he had a practice to get to. Not to mention we had two completely different work schedules.

Nothing is stoping us now.

Now we can be in public and cuddle up together.

New chapter! Let me know what you think and like this chapter!!!

Proud of Sascha defending his title in Munich! He played well. I hope he has a great rest of the clay court swing.
