REAL LIFE

"Hi." Anais breathed as she saw Kylian standing in front of her hotel door. Kylian replied gladly with a 'hey' of his own with a wide grin on his face. He continued, "I was just about to knock on your door." The French model tucked a strand of brown hair behind her ear as she replied with a small laugh, "Oh, I was just at the coffee shop with some of my friends."

The French footballer grinned back at her. And the pair stood facing each other in awkward silence. Although they had both agreed to remain as good friends, even a blind man could spot the tension between the two from a mile away. However, no one could tell if it was the sexual tension or just the awkward phase friendly exes go through.

With both clammy hands in his pocket and the happiest of grins plastered on his face, Kylian was keen on asking Ana out again. Ana, on the other hand, was confused about why the French teenager had come to visit her; but nevertheless showed off her dimples with a cute smile that was plastered across her whole face.

The pair stood silently, smiling at each other for a while before Anais asked, "What brings you here Kylian?" The boy scratched his head before stuttering over his words, "Uh, um, I, um..." The teenage Griezmann calmly soothed him, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me now." Kylian shook his head before saying, "I was wondering if you would go on a date with me?"

Anais' face dropped and the hotel corridor suddenly turned so silent that white noise could be heard. The footballer's eyes went wide and Ana opened her mouth but closed it again. Soon enough, she found her voice and whispered, "Kylian, I'm so sorry..." The model trailed off but picked her voice back up again, "I think we should take baby steps. We went too quickly last time and we ended up getting hurt."

"No, no. I get it." Kylian replied dejectedly when he realised that Anais was about to open her mouth again. He then muttered, "Why would I ever think that you'd want to date me again after what I did to you." Ana breathed, "Kylian, no I don't mean it that way." The French footballer shook his head and walked away silently.

Anais stood in front of the door, she watched as his back grew smaller and smaller as he walked down the corridor. The model wondered if she had made the right decision, at that current time she was too stunned to think. Anais Griezmann's eyes turned glassy as she watched the last person she thought would leave her walk away.
