The Football Player And His Ballerina

The Kiss

Lara POV

Kyle came from nowhere and saved me from the man... Everything was blank after that...

I hugged Kyle to calm myself. Not that I wanted, but my body did it without me noticing it. Reality returned when i felt a soft kiss on my head.

"Is Lara okay?" Sophie, she tells me pulling away from Kyle and watching me in concern.

"Yes, I am," I answer and laugh with nervousness.

"Kyle, her wrist. He pulled her ...", a female voice I don't recognize said. Kyle takes my hands gently and looks at them like Sophie. My wrist had red marks where it was grabbed. Kyle, mutters something I don't understand to Dean and Liam. The beautiful woman who just warned Kyle, also takes my wrist, sighing, "Best put ice. Tolga, please go to the bar and ask for some ice, sweetly ask the man I think is Tolga.

"Thanks, Kyle", I thank him, "I'm fine", I try to calm him down. I feel that like me, he was nervous about what happened.

"Kyle, here's the ice for her wrist that Yas asked for."

"Thanks, dear. Shall we sit down? Kyle?", the woman I realized was Yas asks.

"Of course" mutters Sophie still in shock.

We sat on the sofas that are on site.

"My name is Yasmine, I'm Tolga's wife, Kyle's colleague. You can call me Yas", sweetly introduces the gorgeous brunette who was always by our side.

"Lara," I returned the smile.

Kyle grabbed my wrist and started putting on the ice. His hands are big, strong but he holds me gently. My eyes meet his and I get lost in that infinite blue. I didn't expect any of this to happen tonight. Amazing as it sounds, I'm calm, Kyle somehow, which I can't explain in words, managed to calm me down. The friendly presence of Tolga and Yas made me forget the dimension of what could have happened.

"Sophie, you can go dancing and have fun, I'm fine!", I suggest.

"Lara, allow me to say I'm a fan," Yas says, as she puts her hand on Tolga's leg, in an act of love, "I was also a dancer but I never reached your level of success", she shyly says.

"Thank you for the words Yas, and for your help", I smiled at them. What a hot and beautiful couple. They are in love, i can feel it.

"How about dinner at my place tomorrow?, Tolga invites, "Lara, Kyle, and your friend, if you want her to join us".

"Good idea hubby! Please, can you bring them over and have dinner?" Yas asks Kyle and me.

"Sure Yas!" Kyle answers.

After the worry is the least I can do, I think. It would be rude to refuse. "Sure".

OMG, I think "Sophie is already wasted, look at her!" My amazement makes everyone look, "she's dancing but can't even stand up anymore".

"I'll take you home. You'll need help with her. Did you come by car?"

"No, uber."

"Better than. Go and grab Sophie, we will meet in the garden, ok?"

"OK." I excuse myself, thanking Tolga and Yas, before getting Sophie and saying Goodbye to the others at the party.

I wanted Sophie to stay with me tonight. She refused, saying she had some things to do early in the morning.

So Kyle took Sophie over to her house, he went upstairs taking her to her apartment, making sure she was okay. After it, we came over to my house.

Kyle stopped the car in the parking lot and said he wanted to talk. I suggested we go upstairs. It was the least I could do after his help and support.

We went in, and I invited him to sit down, offering him a drink.

"Lara, Dean, and Liam spoke to the club manager, they collected the ID of the guy who tried to grab you. If you want to press charges, you can" his blue eyes convey concern and he waits for my answer.

“Probably I should Kyle, but that would raise other questions about the night and the media would explore the matter. I think that would be a lot worse for me than what happened".

"Sure, I understand"...

"You were the hero of the night, you saved the lady in trouble", I tease between laughter.

"Nothing like that, I just helped you out, nothing more", he says staring at his gauze on mine.

"Thank you!", I lowered my head in some kind of a shame, "I really enjoyed the night and I'm just sorry I ruined it for you, You should be partying with your teammates", the guilt consumed me and I had to clarify.

"I did it because I wanted to, Lara. By the way, you have to give me your number, I'll pick you up tomorrow at 6 pm, okay?"

"Sure" and at that moment he tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear. My face instinctively touches his hand looking for his warm touch. The recognition of my action left me in shock. The magnetic blue eyes blinked, full of emotions that I can't decipher.

And at that moment, he moves slightly and kisses me. And I kiss him too, almost forgetting to breathe.
