Hate To See Your Heart Break (Lionel Messi)

Is is really you?

I hope everyone is enjoying the story so far 😊😊 I just want to write how Ashley and Lionel first met and later on the story Ashley will became a successful football player. But until then please be patient.

-Enjoy

I stared up at the football legend with my eyes wide open not actually believing that it was actually Lionel Messi who knocked me over. "Lo siento." he murmured again, helping me up. I was shaking now, not knowing what to say to him. "Hola," I blurted out. "I-I mean, it's fine. It's okay. I'm okay." I rambled in, not knowing when to shut up.

Jenna walked over to us, I took a good look at her face, stifling a giggle when I saw her expression. "Uh...Ashley, your elbow's bleeding." Jenna mumbled, touching her fingers to the cut. "Ow oh shit." I whimpered. "I'm really sorry. We should get you cleaned up." Lionel sighed, a frown appearing on his face as he stared at my elbow.

"No, it's okay. I've got some bandages at the hotel..." I trailed off, groaning when I realised that the key card was still lost. "I'll just stay out here and look for the key." Jenna offered with a small smile, her eyes dazzling as she shot me a look that said: 'THE Lionel Messi is offering to help you, it involves eye contact. Why are you refusing to go with him?'

"Key?" Lionel asked, furrowing his brows, making his features twist up in an adorable manner.

"I misplaced the key to our hotel room and I'm still looking for it." Jenna laughed nervously. Lionel turned his head and muttered something to the security guards. "I'll help your friend here. The security guards can help you out with the key." Lionel smiled.

"Thanks a lot."

I followed Lionel like a lost puppy. The silence between us was so awkward. He hadn't said anything to me yet. "So...what is your name?" he asked me. I looked up at him surprised that he actually wanted to know my name.

He was probably just trying to make conversation.

"Ashley Lewandowski. What about You?" I asked stupidly. "I-I mean, I know who you are. You're Lionel Messi. I'm Sorry." I rambled on again, wanting to throw myself off a cliff already. He turned around and chuckled, slowing down his pace so he was walking beside me instead of in front of me.

"You can call me Leo." Are you by any chance related to Robert Lewandowski?"

I smiled at him, "Okay...Leo." Umm yes I am but please don't tell anyone."

"Your secret is safe with me" and with that he smiled and pushed open the door to a door that had the words 'ENFERMERÍA' (infirmary) on it in big block letters. A middle aged man was standing in the middle of the room, sorting through some papers.

"Hola, Juan." Leo greeted enthusiastically. He turned towards me and gently took my arm, which made me blush. He helped me sit down on one of the chairs and the man, Javier, smiled at me warmly. "Who is this, Leo?"

"This here's Ashley. I accidentally knocked her over outside." Leo murmured in embarrassment, making Javier laugh at the Argentine. "May I take a look?" Javier asked with a small smile, motioning to my bloody elbow. I nodded, "Sure." I held up my elbow and he checked it over. After washing the wound with cold water, he placed a band aid over it with a small smile.

"It should be fine Ashley"

I smiled at him and thanked him, "Thank you."

He nodded and I leapt off the small stool. "Gracias, Javier." Leo smiled, giving him a man hug before he opened the door for me. I walked out the door, uttering a small 'Gracias'. He followed behind me, walking me back to the main doors of the stadium.

"Listen Ashley, I'm really sorry for knocking you over."

I smiled, still being starstruck. "I-It's fine. Really. Thanks for taking me to the infirmary and everything." He nodded and stopped walking for a while, his eyes moving to the small band aid on my elbow. He gently touched it with his fingers, making me shiver at his cold fingers.

We went back to the main entrance of the stadium, where Jenna was looking around, her hands in her pockets as she whistled a small tune. "There you are," she smiled. "I found the key."

I was way too lightheaded to ask her where and how she found it, so I just nodded. Lionel still had a small grip on my elbow. She looked at his arm and back at my face, then back at his arm. He let go of my arm quickly and cleared his throat.

"Lo siento again, Ashley," he muttered for the umpteenth time that day. "It's fine, Leo. Really. It was an accident."

He nodded, his chocolate brown eyes burning into mine. "Okay then. I'll see you guys around." he smiled before turning on his heel and walking away.

"What the hell just happened?" Jenna gaped, looking at me with wide eyes.
