Wild at Heart

Part One - Chapter Thirty-Eight: In Love

Iker smiled as he pressed a kiss to his girlfriend’s bare shoulder, he smiled knowing that he wouldn’t change anything for the world; he carefully moved away from Mia knowing that she deserved to sleep.

Iker hadn’t allowed her to fall asleep until the very late hours of the morning, the sun had been coming up when he had finally had his fill of making love to her.

Iker couldn’t help himself and he knew that it would be a while before he was truly ready to let her go.

Iker carefully pulled on his boxers as he climbed out of bed, he wanted to make her some breakfast since he needed to show her how he felt.

Iker had been doing a lot of thinking since they had flown back from South Africa, he knew that in under three weeks Mia would be flying back without him and he wanted her to know how much that he loved her.

Heading out of his large bedroom, Iker carefully shut the door behind him glad that he had bought the house five years ago; he had once had room-mates and had lived in a small apartment before he had bought the house.

Iker padded down the stairs, he smiled as his golden retriever appeared knowing that he had sort of ignored him a little when he had arrived home with Mia.

Iker whistled quietly making Isco follow him, he didn’t want him getting the wrong idea and jumping all over Mia; he doubted his girlfriend of three weeks would find him adorable for doing so.

Iker walked into the kitchen, he had spent enough time with Mia to know what she liked for breakfast; he had made sure that someone had stocked up his kitchen for him so that there was food in for him and Mia.

Mia ran her fingers through her hair as she pulled on Iker’s white shirt from the night before, she looked around the bedroom that she had woken up with; she didn’t have to guess to know that it was Iker’s bedroom.

Mia carefully got to her feet a little curious about where her boyfriend had slipped away to, she knew he couldn’t have gone far; Iker wouldn’t have left her alone in his house.

Mia headed out of the bedroom and downstairs knowing that he had to be about, he had the day off before another celebration and she knew he wouldn’t have gone far.

Mia squeaked reaching the bottom of the stairs only to be greeted by a golden retriever, she stared at the dog wondering how on earth she had missed it when she had arrived at Iker’s home.

Mia knew that she had been a little distracted when Iker had brought her home, he could barely keep his hands off of her as they stepped into his home; but she hadn’t thought that she would be so distracted that she would miss a dog.

“Isco,” Iker called making the golden retriever move away from Mia and pad into the kitchen, Mia stood still for a moment before shaking her head and walking into the kitchen; her blue eyes quickly found Iker making breakfast for them.

“Did you sleep well?” Iker asked glancing at his girlfriend, he smirked at the sight of her wearing his shirt; he knew that it was a sight that he would like to see again.

Mia nodded her head as she against the doorway, she watched Iker move towards her; she chewed on her lip as he smiled at her.

“Good morning,” Mia said steppinginto Iker’s arms, she wrapped her arms around his waist and smiled; she wasn’t sure how she was going to cope without him when she headed back to South Africa.

“Buenos días,” Iker murmured holding Mia close to him, a smile on his face as he rested her head against hers; he knew that this was how things should be and things were going to be a little tricky when she went back to South Africa.

Mia looked up at Iker, her blue eyes sparkling and allowed him to kiss her; she smiled into the kiss knowing that she had never felt like this before.

Iker cupped Mia’s face knowing that he wanted more of her, he didn’t know if he’d ever be able to have enough of her; the footballer was sure that things would work out for them.

“I made you breakfast,” Iker said pulling back from Mia, his stomach grumbling knowing that it was time to eat; there was enough time for other things later on.

Mia smiled up at Iker knowing that she could get used to this, she ignored the gnawing feeling that wanted to consume her about leaving him behind when she went back home.

“Why don’t you go back upstairs and I’ll bring breakfast up to you,” Iker said nudging her back towards the stairs, he wouldn’t be long and he doubted he would be able to stay away from her when he was.

Mia nodded her head smiling as she watched him for a moment before she shook her head and headed back upstairs; she knew was going to enjoy the next three weeks with him.

“I love you,” Mia murmured brushing her fingers through Iker’s hair, she wasn’t at all surprised that they had spent the day in bed; the brunette allowed Iker to kiss her knowing that they were making up for lost time.

Iker hadn’t really been able to spend more time with her alone when they had been in South Africa, he was meant to be focusing on the world cup and not his new girlfriend.

“Te amo,” Iker whispered pulling back only slightly, he carefully pushed Mia onto her back knowing that he had all the time in the world with her.

Mia was something that he wanted in his life and Iker knew that he would willingly do anything for her; he had even started to think of a future for the two of them.

Iker could see marriage, children and a big house, just about everything that he had ever wanted and he knew he’d have it all and more with Mia; there was only one problem that they faced.

Mia was going back to South Africa and Iker would have to face a long distance relationship before he got the future that he wanted; he was going to have to fight for it.

“Don’t,” Mia warned as if knowing what Iker was thinking about, she was thinking the same thing and she knew it wouldn’t be easy; she really didn’t have to think about what they were going to do.

Iker pulled back from his girlfriend and looked down at her, his brown eyes dark with passion knowing that they would have to talk about this sooner or later.

“Please Iker… not right now,” Mia pleaded with him, she pushed herself up onto her elbows and watched her boyfriend; she really didn’t want to ruin things by talking about leaving now.

“We will talk about this Mia,” Iker said staring down at her, he knew that this wasn’t going to be a pleasant conversation but he needed to figure things out with her.

Mia nodded her head understandingly, she was sure that it would wait a couple of days before they had that conversation; she just wanted to enjoy some time with her boyfriend of three weeks before things got serious.

“I know…” Mia conceded, she couldn’t stand the idea of leaving him behind when she returned to her family; she had feeling that things were going to be difficult.

Iker leant forward and kissed Mia, he would do anything for her and he was sure that with time; they would be able to live together when the time was right for them.
