PARIS | Kylian Mbappe

16 | Night Talks

"So", he trailed off. I turned my head to finally look at him. "How have you been? I haven't seen you since that night, not even at training".

I shrugged. "I've just been minding my own buisness".

"What does that even mean?", he asked making me chuckle slightly.

"It means I've been keeping myself to myself. Doing what I need to do and staying out of peoples way". He moved his arm so it rested just behind my head as he turned to face me.

He waited a few moments before he spoke, although I wasn't fully looking at him I could feel his stare piercing the side of my head. "I have missed you".

"I've missed you too", I whispered looking at him. It was true, I had missed Kylian since he vanished out my life for the past month. He was a friend I genuinely needed before I had Chelsea and Alex. Not to say I would have thrown him off if the situation didn't happen but going from hanging out near enough everyday to nothing was weird for me.

"I'd miss me as-well, I'm pretty damn funny", he said dusting off his shoulders, I raised my eyebrows giving him a look.

"Shut up", I laughed. "That wasn't funny".

He frowned. "Then why did you laugh?". I glared at him for a few seconds.

"So you and Emma", I started, the small smile he had dropping slightly. "Still going strong I see".

He didn't respond, just a quiet 'hm', instantly making me wonder if something was on his mind. "You okay?".

"Yeah", he huffed. "Were doing fine, a few minor disagreements here and there, nothing to worry about", I nodded slowly, pursing my lips and looking away. Something was obviously bothering him but I didn't feel it was my place to force him to talk about since it was clear he wasn't in the talking mood. "I'm glad were speaking again".

"Me too", I whispered slowly, the air quickly becoming thick with tension. I couldn't help but match his instense stare and for some reason I just couldn't look away as his face began to get closer to mine, his hand moving to cup my face before I moved my head hearing laughter and giggles elsewhere.

"Shhh", I heard a voice whisper in the distance whilst also laughing. We both looked around finally catching eye of Neymar and a brunette passionately kissing and laughing with each other under a huge tree. They looked so cute, so in love?

As the girls back laid flat up against the tree I caught eye of Neymar's hand slowly moving higher up her leg whilst kissing her which we took as a cue to quickly leave before I burned my eyes watching them.

"Do you want me to walk you back to your table?" Kylian said placing his hand on the small of my back as we made it inside.

"I think I'll be alright", I said quickly moving from his touch. I had to remember he had a girlfriend so I didn't fancy people sneakily catching pictures of him touching me then posting it online with people getting the wrong idea. "Thank you though, it was nice talking to you again".

As polite as I was trying to be I couldn't get away fast enough. I needed Chelsea. I needed her to help me figure out what I just felt when I almost kissed him. My belly instantly did flips at the thought of it but was it right? Was it right to feel this way about someone who had a girlfriend. I wasn't the type of person to come in between a relationship at all but damn I wasn't the most happiest about him being off the market. Shit. Was was this feeling?

As I caught eyes at the table, I saw Chelsea talking to..is that?...Paulo Dybala? What the fuck.

"How did she manage that?", I heard a voice next to me, it was Julian looking equally as shocked as me as we watched the two deep in conversation.

"What is he even doing here?", I questioned. Even though I knew nothing about football I damn for sure knew who Paulo Dybala was, he was even more finer in person. I have no idea how Chelsea managed to pull that one out the bag but go on girl.

"He played with Dani at Juventus for a few months", Julian explained. I nodded observing the two, my problems suddenly going right over my head as I watched her giggle and laugh with the words he said. They were both sat at an empty table in the corner of the room, whispering to each other, their chairs very close before...OH MY GOD. They kIsSED!

I squealed excitedly pushing Julian making him spill his drink slightly. I quickly apologised before he whispered something to her and they both stood up, Chelsea's eyes soon caught mine and they began to walk over. I quickly turned Julian to me and pretended I was in deep conversation with him to make out I wasn't just fangirling over Chelsea and a boy. Julian was just stood there looking confused. Thanks, so believeable.

"Hey Sav", she said calmly, however her eyes going wide momenterially as she started at me intensly and signalled to Paulo Dybala. "This is Paulo".

Oh I know who he is. "Nice to meet you I'm Savanna, Chelsea's friend. Oh and this is Julian, you probably already recognise him", I said.

"Nice to meet you man", Julian spoke shaking his hand as Paulo smiled.

"Pleasure to meet you both", he said. Wow that was a thick accent, I wondered where he was from but I knew it certainly wasn't Paris.

"So I'm feeling quite tired so Paulo offered to take me home, will you be ok here?", she suggested, her eyes suggesting me to say yes. I laughed internally. She's 'tired'. Now where have I heard that before.

"Of course", I smiled. "Hope you feel better", I said giving her a hug. "Use protection", I whispered as she pulled away and shook her head while smirking. And with that he was leading her out the venue.

"How mad is that?!", I freaked out to Julian as I hit his arm, he winced looking down at me. "She's just gone home with Paulo Dybala. Pinch me Julian, am I dreaming?". I screeched when he actually pinched me.

"You said to pinch you?", he questioned confused.

"Not literally".

"You brits have weird sarcastic humor", he said.

"The best humor", I corrected before I realised something. "Shit, I'm suppose to be staying with Chelsea tonight".

"I think someone else is staying with Chelsea tonight", he laughed as I frowned playfully.

"Your so not funny, Julian. Anyway I'll figure it out later, I'm thirsty now". Walking to the bar I downed 3 drinks and 2 shots thanks to the persuasion of Christopher and Layvin.

I was outside getting some air, my vision a little blurry but I could stand. Or so I thought until I was on the floor being picked up and hailed into a car.

Authors Note

From now on I will be uploading two chapter at a time, I will only upload once the previous two chapters reach 100 reads each.

I had a message from someone saying they couldn't understand the French since they don't speak the language so from now on if any of the writing is in French I will be putting the english translation in next to it so everyone can understand.

Example;

"Bonjour, ca va?" ("Hello, how are you?")

p.s I have added a picture to the cast page (first page of the book) of what I imagine Emma to look like, you can check her photo under Alex.

Thank you for reading x
