A Little Lie | Marco Reus/Erik Durm

Chapter 10

"Lie or truth, you like me?" he asked, this time blotted.

I shook my head.

"Lie" I whispered, and his draw dropped.

"I'm in love with you. Like, doesn't do it for me" I whispered, taking a step closer to him.

It made Marco smile, as he looked at the ground. Softly, he let his fingertip run over my hand. Fast I grabbed it, pulling his hand in mine, just because of the fear, that I would never touch him again.

"You are?" he asked, this time smiling.

I bit my under lip, flashing a shy smile, before I nodded. For the first time, Marco touched me, like properly touched me, not carefully or almost not feeling my skin. He placed his warm hand on my cheek, stroking it a bit.

"I'm in love with you too" he said, making me smile.

"I'm giving you a chance, don't make be regret it" he dared, which made me nod.

"I promise I won't. Never"

"Good! Next time, tell me what's going on, okay?" he asked, once again all I did was nod.

Marco stepped closer to me, as he looked at my lips. My entire body felt tickling, when Marco's lips were only inches away from mine. I could feel Marco breathe out, warming my lips. Finally, Marco let his lips touch mine, which almost made my knees go weak. I let my hand slip to Marco's neck, and pulled him a little closer to me. He let his hands lay around my waist, also pulling me a little closer. If the whole fireworks and stars was real, I was definitely seeing both of them. Marco pulled away, placing his forehead on mine, letting his eyes stuck at mine. Marco smiled that crocked smile and once again made my skin shiver.

"I've missed that" he admitted, honestly.

"Me too. You can't imagine how much I've missed you" I said, but then a single tear ran down my cheek.

Marco wiped it away, pulling me into a hug.

"I'm so terrible sorry" I cried.

I think, I finally let go of all the emotion, I had been building up inside. I let my walls break down, I let him see, how badly I'd felt.

"I know, Mila. I know" Marco said, stroking the back of my hair.

Marco's sweet sense spread, calming me down a bit.

"Mila, please don't cry. It's okay" he whispered in my ear.

"Shh, it's okay" He tried again, but he couldn't make me stop.

I don't even think, I know why I cried, it was just a float of emotions, which I obviously didn't have any control of.

"Please don't cry, okay? I can't stand you crying. We both made mistakes, let's just forget about them, okay?" he whispered.

"Promise me, you will never leave me?" I whispered, as I buried my head in his chest.

"I promise, if you promise me, you won't either" He said, making me smile.

"Never" I whispered.

"So if a player get's the ball on his own-" I tried again, but Marco shook his head.

I sighted, rolling my eyes at him.

"We'll take it again. A player is caught offside if he's nearer to the opponent's goal, than both the ball and the second-last opponent, when his team-mate plays the ball to him" Marco explained once again, making me laugh.
