Marry you (Aaron Ramsey) [completed]

Chapter twenty four

Aaron

Mesut pats my shoulder friendly. I can see that he's worried enough.
- Just to let you know, he was bleeding a lot after you punched him.
- Fuck! Louisa said, he wasn't her boyfriend.
- She may have lied.
I tilt my head in no.
- She didn't.
- And how exactly do you know that ?
- I just do.
I sip on my drink. I feel devastated. I said that I love her. And I do love her. I love her so much that it actually scares me. And I behaved like a total idiot yesterday, punching this guy, that just kissed her. But why the hell did he kiss her ? Mesut points with his eyebrows that I should check at the other end of the bar. There's a girl, looking intensively at me. I tilt my head in no.
- You can have her if you want.
I say.
- I'm married and I love my wife.
He says seriously. I exhale deeply.
- You know what's the funny fact then ? I'm married and I love my wife too.
Mesut looks at me almost scared.
- What the hell's wrong with you ? Where's the Aaron that would treat this girl a drink ?
- I don't know. And I don't care. I said that I loved her yesterday.
Mesut chuckles.
- What are you trying to prove Aaron ?
- I'm not trying to prove anything. I just love her. I mean it.
I'm desperate. The girl that sits across from us, approaches us, smiling.
- If I didn't know better, I'd say that you're Aaron Ramsey.
That's your way of flirting anyway ?
But even if it wasn't, I wasn't in the mood. She's hot, no wonder. But no.
- I'm married.
I say out loud, not even realizing why, myself. Mesut looks shocked at me and the girl tries to make herself not to curse me.
- Umm...okay.
She mumbles and turns to leave. I can spot her angry look from a mile away. I don't even know why I said that I'm married, when in reality, I'm getting divorced. And even if I didn't...well, this is ridiculous.
- You didn't just turn her down, did you ?
I tilt my head. I want to see her.
- Where are you going ?
I hear Mesut's voice as I'm trying to leave.
- Home.
- Why ?
- I'm just not in the mood for staying.
I reply and I disappear before he can say anything.

💍

Please be awake. Be awake. And definitely be alone. I'll die if your boyfriend's here with you.
Louisa looks shocked at me as she opens the door.
- Aaron ? What are you doing here ?
Think something better than the I wanted to see you shit.
- Um...I wanted to ask you if you'd like to come to a ceremony, that our club organizes tomorrow.
She cocks a brow.
- You just came here to ask this ?
She asks while letting me in.
No. But I had no idea how else to approach you.
- Yes. I figured that you maybe want to come.
- And what are you celebrating ?
- Nothing in particular. Just an event.
She nods and makes her way to the guest room and I follow her. She takes a brush in her hands and continues with painting the wall.
- I can help you.
I say and point at the wall. She just nods and I take the other brush. We paint in silence for some moments, but I can't stop staring at her. She doesn't seem to notice.
- Louisa,...
She turns to face me.
- What ?
She asks.
- Won't you say something ?
She chuckles.
- What do you want me to say ?
She asks again.
- I don't know.
I said that I love you, yesterday. I meant it. Say something about this.
- How's your boyfriend's nose ? Mesut said it was bleeding a lot.
- You were out with Mesut ?
She asks.
- Yes.
I try not to think of the way I rejected this girl. But I understand that Louisa managed to change the subject without me realizing it.
- You didn't answer.
I say again. Louisa avoids my gaze on purpose.
- He's not my boyfriend.
She replies, focused on what she's doing.
- Why did he kiss you then ?
- I told him to.
My eyes open wide in shock.
- Why would you do that ?
She raises her shoulders.
- I just wanted to.
- Who was he ?
- He's an actor. We work together.
- Does he like you ?
She smiles.
- No.
I exhale deeply.
- I still don't understand why you told him to kiss you.
- And I still don't understand why you were there last night.
- I was out with Mesut.
- What a coincidence huh ? You being in the same club with us.
I don't speak after that. Is she mad ? Why ? Should I remind her what I told her yesterday ? Or what she told me in return ?
- Did your parents had a great time here ?
I ask after a while. She exhales deeply.
- I think so. I...I don't know though. They...they know.
I look at her confused.
- They know what ?
- About us. That we're not together.
- You told them ?
She tilts her head in no.
- How come then ?
- They heard us fighting.
- But we didn't fight.
I state. Louisa's expression saddens.
- When we were in Wales. They heard us fighting. That's why they came. They wanted to see if it was real. They were checking on me. Lilly told me.
She tries to fight her tears.
- Are you sad about it ?
- Wouldn't you be ?
A tear runs down her cheek. I swallow hard.
- I meant it.
She looks at me confused.
- You meant what ?
- Yesterday. I meant it. I love you. I never stopped, if you think I'm lying. And despite the fact that I have slept with a lot of women, I only love you.
She smiles.
- Good for you.
She leaves her brush and then leaves the room too. I do the same. I grab her hand.
- Good for you ? Really ? I just said that I love you.
- You said the exact same thing, a night before you leave me and never come back again.
- I meant it even then if you're wondering.
- I don't care. I can't trust you anymore, neither want to of course.
- I don't mean anything for you then ?
Her eyes meet mine.
- Of course you do. I just don't trust you.
- I'm sorry Louisa. For everything I did to you, I'm sorry. Will you ever be able to forgive me ?
I lift her chin and lean to place a small kiss in her lips. I pull away only to see that her eyes dare me to kiss her some more. I place my lips on hers again and instead of pulling me away, she kisses me back. I part her lips with my tongue and soon enough we're making out. It's not long after that my lips are on her neck and her hands try to get rid of my shirt. When she manages that, she stares at my body for a moment.
- I've forgotten how hot you're. No, not. I didn't. And all the times, you were shirtless, I just remembered how it felt to feel this.
I grab her waist, bringing her body, closer to mine. I take of her shirt now and she remains with her bra.
- You have no idea what I want to do to you right now.
I whisper in her ear. She smirks.
- Show me then.

💍

Louisa's head rests in my chest and I place a kiss in her hair. I hold her in my arms as if I'm afraid that she'll leave me.
- I wasn't too harsh, was I ?
I whisper at her. She giggles.
- No, I'm pretty sure I can walk.
- That's great news.
I comment, placing a kiss in her knuckles. She lifts her head to face me.
- That...should never...happen again. It was a huge mistake.
She says. I look at her seriously.
- If you insist.
- And it definitely didn't mean anything. I just...I just missed you.
I nod my head.
- There's really this event tomorrow night. Will you come with me ?
- I don't know. It'll be ridiculous. What even are we ?
- You're my wife.
- I won't be your wife for long.
- Yes, but you'll be my wife tomorrow.
She thinks about it silently for a couple of minutes.
- What are you going to say to your teammates ?
I chuckle.
- It's none of their business.
- I don't know. I'll have to think about it. And then, it's Vanessa. She'll see me there, she'll think that everything's fine between us.
- Everything's fine between us Louisa. The fact that we're getting divorced, doesn't mean that we should have a bad relationship with one another.
- The fact that we're getting divorced, doesn't also involving us having sex.
I smile at her.
- You said that it won't happen again, so you don't have to worry.
I place a kiss in her hair. She doesn't seem convinced.
- I want to come with you.
She finally says.
- Then come.
She nods her head.
- You're right. I'm coming. And as for your teammates, it's none of their business.
I bring her body closer to mine and I place a kiss in her exposed shoulder.
- I've missed you so much Louisa. And tell this actor of yours that I'm really sorry for...you know...
Louisa bursts out laughing.
- If I knew, that you'd be that violent with him, I'd never have done something like this. Poor Marcus, his face's unrecognizable.
I think of it a little.
- What do you mean you'd never do something like this ?
Louisa hesitates a moment, before speaking.
- I knew you were there. I told him to act as if there was something going on between us.
- You wanted to make me jealous ?
I ask surprised. She nods her head.
- That's really weird. I thought you didn't care about me.
- You thought wrong and anyway, I was mad at you because you spied on me. Don't tell me that it was a coincidence the fact that we were in the same club yesterday, cause I'm not biting this.
- It wasn't a coincidence.
- I knew it.
- I knew that you knew.
She turns to face me, placing a kiss in my lips.
- I'm really glad this wasn't a coincidence though.
