I'm Only A Fool For You [Kai Havertz]

• C h a p t e r 2

POV Kai:

I definitely needed a break and this is a great way to earn it. Coming to Chelsea FC recently was a difficult change and dealing with personal problems doesn't make it any better. I am not really improving, but luckily I have my dog Balou with me, he is my support in everything.

As I sigh contentedly and kick away some sand and broken shells from the beach, I no longer see Balou by my side. Startled, I look up and scan the beach.

I see his silhouette quite far away. Squinting my eyes, which then widen, I sprint in his direction. He is running towards something or rather someone.

"Shit, Balou come back!" Oh no.

POV Aurelia:

This was indeed a good idea. With my shoes in one hand and my phone in the other, I walk along the quiet beach while watching the sunset. The colours illuminate the sky in a beautiful orange glow, reflecting off the waves that gently move the sand along the shore.

As I grab my phone to check the time, I don't really pay attention to my surroundings, so just as I wanted to look, something jumped on me. Gasping and clamping a hand over my heart, I startle and turn around to see a dog jumping and wagging its tail.

Oh, god. It's just a dog. Bending down to pet the Golden Retriever I look for a name tag, he looks really cute. "Hey buddy are you lost, where is your owner?" I ask, knowing the dog clearly cannot answer. Scratching the dog's belly as he lies on the ground, I spot someone walking towards here. That must be the owner.

Once I get a better look at him, he frowns his face in an apologetic manner.

"Hey...uh, I'm sorry about Balou. He's a little stubborn, so yeah..." The unknown man in front of me says, while scratching his neck awkwardly. The evening sun hits his features in a way that makes his eyes stand out more. He is beautiful.

Searching for possible words, I croak out the first thing that comes to mind. "Don't worry he looks like a sweet dog. Sorry if I may ask, but what are you doing on the beach so late anyway?"

I don't know where I got this sudden courage or why I had the great idea to ask a stranger why they are here. It's a rather late hour to be walking here. But then again, I walk here too, so I can't blame him.

"I could ask you the same question" he retorts chuckling and lifts his head so that our eyes meet. The sound of the waves is blocked out and we gaze into each other's eyes as he blindly pets his dog, too distracted by our little moment.

"Touché" I reply almost in a whisper and break the strange eye contact. He laughs softly and shows his dimples. Dimples.

Hopefully he won't kidnap me. What is it with me and kidnapping?

Not really knowing what to do or say I give him a brief explanation of why I'm here. "Uh, I'm just taking a walk, you know. To get things off my mind, what about you?"

"Ah, I see. Kind of funny." He grins softly and continues: "I actually have the same reason as you. What's your name?" There is a thick accent present in his voice that I just cannot recognise.

"Aurelia and what's yours?" A soft smile covers my face as I wait for his reply. He looks really sweet and handsome, what-never mind. I didn't say that. He's a stranger.

"Kai. It's nice to meet you Aurelia." he sticks out his hand to shake mine.

"The feeling is mutual Kai." Grabbing his veiny and warm hand, I shake it briefly.

I wake up in a bad mood to Claire shaking me and hitting me with a pillow. "Ouch, what was that for?" I ask her, my voice muffled by the fact that my face is in my pillow.
