Unexpected Love

Chapter 2

Ann-Kathrin's P. O. V.

"Mandy, hurry up, we're going to be late. " We're about to leave for the football match, but Mandy is taking her sweet old time getting ready. Finally she emerges from the bathroom, "Okay. Let's go. " We go out to her car and drive to the stadium. We walk in and go sit with all the WAGS. The match starts. They all play so well but I can't take my eyes off of Mario. He scores twice!
When the match is over, Germany winning, Mandy drags me into the changing room with her. She immediately runs over to Thomas, congratulating him. I sit down on a bench and look down at my phone. "Excuse me. " I look up to see Mario standing there with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. I realize I'm sitting in front of his locker, "Oh, I'm sorry. " I quickly stand up. Mario smirks at me and drops his towel, reaching for his boxers. I quickly look away. Mario laughs, "Why bother? You've seen it all before!" I roll my eyes, looking him in the eye, "I was very intoxicated. I didn't know what I was doing. " Mario rolls his eyes, "Ann, you knew exactly what you were doing. Don't lie. And you know you enjoyed it. " I take a deep breath, "Maybe I did. So what?" Mario raises his brows, "If you enjoyed it, why are you denying me now?" I sigh, "I don't know. " Mario, now having clothes on, grabs my waist, pulling me up against him. He whispers, "Go out with me. Let me take you on a date. " I shake my head. Mario leans down even closer, his lips brushing mine, "Go out with me. " I shake my head, my voice to shaky to speak. Mario presses his lips on mine, gripping my waist tight. My hands make their way up to his face, without my permission. He pulls away and I frown. I didn't want it to be over so soon. Mario smirks, touching my cheek, "Go out with me. " I sigh and look him in the eyes, "Fine. You convinced me. " Mario smiles and sets his lips against mine, "Or was it my lips that did the convincing?" He doesn't give me a chance to respond as he crashes our lips together once again. "Ann-Kathrin, looks like I didn't need to get you two alone after all. " Mario and I pull away to see the whole team smirking at his, Mandy being the one that spoke. I laugh and duck my head, "Shut up " That's when Manuel Neuer storms out of the locker room. I look at Mario, "What was that about?" He sighs, "he's upset. After everyone met you yesterday, he couldn't stop talking about how beautiful you were. He wanted to ask you out. So he's upset and mad at me. And mad that you don't feel the same way about him. " I frown, "Oh. " Mario pulls me in to a hug, my face nuzzled in his neck. He presses a kiss against my temple, "don't be upset. He'll get over it. There's nothing you can do. " Mandy pipes up, "You guys are seriously the cutest. " I laugh, pulling away from Mario. He grabs my hand, not letting me walk away, "Can I take you on that date now?" I smile, "I would like that. " Mario grins and intertwines our fingers. I look at Mandy, "I guess you don't need to wait for me. I'll see you tomorrow. "
