Can't leave U' alone! (Erik Durm)

Moving further

After being questioned by Mats, Marco prefered to remained silence and let everyone enjoy their dinner. 

"Where is Lisa?" Basti asked

"She couldn't come, I'm sorry" Thomas addressed Ivonne particularly. They had been talking about Lisa for a while and he could notice Ivonne really wanted to meet her. She laughed when she realized Thomas was apologizing to her, because it wasn't a big deal at all.

"You shouldn't say sorry, it's nothing-" Her speech was interrupted by Marco, who spoke out loud.

"We should get going, everyone's over" Even though he was right and they had already finished desert, it was rude to cut her off like that, something everyone could sense and was starting to piss Erik off. Manuel, being the bigger man stopped Erik who was about to say something awful probably.

"You're right, let's go" Manuel waited for everyone to go ahead "Erik" He turned around to wait for Manuel. Ivonne was chatting with Basti and Mats as they were leaving the restaurant. 

"What is it?" Erik didn't want to leave Ivonne alone for too long

"I see you followed my advice" He said as he patted Erik's back

"I guess so... thank you" Erik blushed, before heading back to the group

"Uhm... Mats?" There was something bothering him and he wanted to clear it up. Mats approached to Erik and listened to him "Do you know what's up with Marco?" 

"Something about a girl" Mats was trying to whisper so no one will hear them speak about it

"That model he was dating?" Erik knew Marco had something going on with a girl he met a few months ago in a party, but they had been so busy playing and training there had been less to no time to talk about that stuff, plus after Erik told Marco about Ivonne he had been acting strange, avoiding Erik's calls and messages. 

"Yes, he caught her talking to some dude over the phone" That's why Marco had been acting so bitter lately. Erik cursed himself after hearing the truth, because he had already imagined another nasty situation, in which Marco was jelous of him because he liked Ivonne a little. Of course that was impossible because only now he met her, although Erik had showed him a picture of her once. A picture Ivonne doesn't know Erik has. 

"Stop whispering, you two" Basti teased them

Erik walked towards Ivonne who was now talking to Cathy, it seemed not a very intersting conversation because she greeted him like a savior and stepped away from her, Cathy immediately took her phone from her purse and started to type something. After discussing where to go, they decided to visit a very exclusive club that Cathy recommended them. 

"What were you talking with Cathy, you seemed bored" Erik asked her after they got into his car

"She was talking about a girl called Arya... uhm..." She answered uninterested 

"Marco's girl" 

"Really? so he was the one who caught her cheating" 

"I think so... but why does Cathy know about that" 

"Well, maybe Mats told her"

"I don't think so, he's a good friend"

"If you say so" 

***

Erik was feeling guilty for even thinking Marco could be jelous of him, so the first thing he wanted to do was to talk to Marco, maybe not tonight in a club but tomorrow in a quieter place. After just a few minutes driving, they arrived to a place that appeared to be hidden because there weren't any cars nor people walking around or waiting in the door. Ivonne remembered the first night she met Erik, the few things she could remember actually, she thought about her ex boyfriend and how easily he gave up on her, she thought about the ifs and what would have happened if there had been someone else approaching her that night. Erik instead remembered that night very vividly, her curves, her accent so not german at all, he remembered when Ivonne was so shocking he was speaking in english; as Ivonne, he also thought about the maybes and ifs, in the end he was very glad he had been the one walking down the street that night.
