CHAPTER SIXTEEN
. . .REVELATIONS
she had missed this. louise had missed waking up next to kylian. feeling his hot breath burn on her skin as the rising sun did the exact same thing.
him pressing soft kisses along her collarbone and whispering 'goodmorning' in her ear while his arms were wrapped around her body, louise had been longing for it and she didn't even realise it until she woke up next to him again.
it was strange how all these things formed such strong feelings and emotions while louise was oblivious to them. it was like all the thoughts she began to think had been hiding at the back of mind, waiting for her to discover the way she truly felt.
she felt a hand comb through her hair and move strands out of her face. her eyes fluttered open and she was greeted by kylian cupping her cheek with his hand and pressing a kiss on her nose.
"bonjour, mon ange." louise smiled and stretched herself out, "salut toi." they stayed in bed for nearly an hour, comfortably wrapped in each others embrace.
kylian was talking about his trip to cameroon and the upcoming friendly game he'd play with psg while louise listened along, her head resting on his chests, listening to his soothing heartbeat at the same time.
when the sun had taken its place above the horizon and peeked through the curtains louise and kylian decided to get out of bed and start their day
the french football player took a shower as louise prepared them breakfast. and as the blonde manoeuvred through his big kitchen she couldn't help but grin widely.
"it smells good." kylian announced as he entered the kitchen. he was wearing gray sweatpants and a white compression shirt that left little to the imagination.
louise stared at him as he walked up to her, "thank you." he said before kissing her cheeks, "i appreciate you." "y-yeah, of course!"
one of his eyebrows raised as he noticed louise's startled expression. he grins once realises what caused this reaction, "do you like this outfit?" kylian asked with a cocky smirk on his face.
louise rolls her eyes and turns towards the furnace, "perhaps." "more than the tights i wear during practice?" her mouth fell open, "who told you about that?!"
kylian laughs, "you did, when you were drunk." she groans and hides her face in her hands. "i'm never drinking around you again." louise whines.
after pressing a kiss on her cheek kylian fills up a plate with eggs and toast and makes his way to the dining room.
louise sighs and follows him sitting down at the table, "you have practice in a bit, right?" she asks. kylian nods his head, "yeah, and in two days i've got the friendly, and after that we'll go to monaco."
"is the friendly an away game?" she asks before taking a bite from a piece of buttered toast. "yeah, we're going to play le havre, in normandy." kylian answered.
her eyes widen and louise smiles politely, "do you by any chance need a taxi to bring you there?" she bats her eyelashes at him and kylian laughs.
"we're taking the bus, but you can come along if you want." louise grins at this. normandy had always been her favorite region in france, both the countryside and the coast had characteristics that were so beautiful that seeing them never got boring.
"i'd love to come along." kylian smiles and takes the last bite of his breakfast, "d'accord, i'll let them know so you can come and watch the match."
he gets up from the dining table and brings his dishes back to the kitchen. louise stays where she's sat with a big smile plastered on her face.
not much later kylian left his house to go to training, but not without placing a chaste kiss on louise's lips as a goodbye.
and while he was away for the following hours, louise got comfortable on the couch in his living room and binged her favourite show.
✩
the sound of the front door opening made louise look away from the tv, "bonjour!" kylian called out into the house, "coucou, ça va?" the footballer entered his living room, "good."
he leaned over the back of the couch and brought his face up to louise's. she wrapped her hands around his head and rubbed her thumbs over his eyebrows.
just as louise was about to connect their lips a voice made her flinch back from him and awkwardly drop her hands, "kyl, où voulez-vous que je mette les sacs?"
[ where do you want me to put the bags? ]
"is that ethan?" louise whispered to kylian. he nodded and smirked as he hastily kissed her before walking back to the hallway.
the blonde sighs and got up from the couch. she followed kylian and waved at ethan as she entered the hallway.
the younger mbappé's eyes widened slightly when he saw louise, he glanced at his older brother before grinning and asking louise: "comment ça va?"
"i'm good, how are you?" "i'm alright." the two greeted each other with a hug. ever since ethan and louise met they immediately got along, they are very alike in a lot of different areas, especially when it comes to teasing kylian.
as the three walk to the living room ethan smiles, "don't know why you're still seeing kylian, you could do so much better." he says at a volume where he knows for sure that his brother heard him.
louise laughs and looks back at kylian, who rolls his eyes and swings his arm over her shoulder, "right and who's the single one out of the two of us?"
silence. "you two are dating?" louise's happy expression falters and she feels kylian's arm stiffen around her. ethan immediately picks up the tension between them and mumbles something before leaving the two alone.
they take a step away from each other and kylian awkwardly laughs as he scratches the back of his neck, "sorry, i didn't mean it like that, i just thought— well you know, it's just— yeah... i'm sorry."
"it's okay." louise says, swatting her hand through the air as a way to avoid talking about it any more, "what should i tell ethan?" kylian asks nervously.
louise gulps and fiddles with her necklace, "uh—." she's quiet for a while, "just tell him we're... working on it." she smiles and kylian slowly nods his head, "okay.."
once he left the living room louise hides her face in her hands and groans loudly. she slumps down on the couch and lets out a deep sigh.
after a few minutes of sulking she hears voices from upstairs. it sounds like kylian and ethan playing fifa, judged by the shouting.
she makes her way up the stairs and is about to enter the gaming room until she's stopped when she hears ethan say her name.
"so... you and lou.. working on it, hein? pour de vrai?" there's a frustrated grunt before kylian speaks up, "yeah, i don't think she's ready for a relationship yet."
for a bit the only thing that fills the silence are the sounds that come from the videogame the two brothers are playing. "do you want to date her?" ethan asks.
"of course i do, bro." louise starts to back away from the door after hearing this. it feels wrong to her, to eavesdrop on them like that.
"she's the only one i want, and i'm willing to wait on her as long as i need."
