When Love Takes Over (Mesut Özil, Mats Hummels, Thomas Müller)

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

I was unpacking my suitcase, when there was an unexpected knock at my door.

I slowly walked over, and opened it to see Mesut standing there with a bottle of white wine and a roll of cookie dough.

"Hey you! I see you came with some goodies." I said laughing a little, letting him inside my hotel room.

He put down the treats he had brought and hugged me tightly. Mes always gave the best hugs. The kind of hug that was compassionate and warm, while slightly rubbing your back the same time.

"I knew you would be pleased. It's your favourite wine by the way, and of course the cookie dough." he said setting them down at the coffee table.

We sat on the couch, chatting, sipping wine and eating uncooked Pillsbury dough. Finally Mes brought up last night at the restaurant. I really didn't want to talk about but, I knew it would come up sooner or later.

"So what did you say to Thom last night?" he asked.

"Oh nothing, I just told him to be a little happier, that's all." I said smiling.

Bullshit.

He furrowed his brow. "Are you sure that's all you said?"

"Yep, I'm pretty sure." I said nodding my head slightly.

Bullshit.

"Okay, I was just concerned because when you came back in you looked like you had just seen a ghost."

"Maybe it was just the alcohol getting to me."

Bullshit.

"You guys don't still have feelings for each other right?"

"Pffftt, Mes I'm a mature, 23 year old woman, I'm absolutely, positively sure there's nothing weird between us!"

Bullshit.

I hated lying to Mes, partly because he could usually tell when I'm not telling the truth and also he was my best friend, and I loved him to pieces.

"Changing the subject." I said sharply "So are you excited for your first game against Portugal tomorrow!?"

"Yes I am, and I'm gonna win it for you." he said winking.

"You better win! I didn't come all the way out here to watch you lose!" I said jokingly.

Suddenly things got serious. He placed his hand on my leg and smiled.

"You know I'm really glad you came, it means a lot to me."

"I wouldn't have missed it for the world."

"You're my girl. I hope you know that." he said as I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"I do." I said softly.

Out of nowhere I started to feel something for him, in a more-than-friends way.
