007

Meanwhile, the press conference was over and Genzo also knew that she had overheard it. He was looking for her. But she wasn't in the hotel and he began to worry.

*Taro do you have any idea where Keyla is, she's not in her room and I can't find her in the hotel either* but he just shrugged his shoulders

*I haven't seen her since she left before the end of the press conference * he said

Keyla was still walking around aimlessly when her cell phone rang, but she didn't want to answer it, she just wanted to be alone. And ignored the calls. Until a text message came

 *Key I'm worried, where are you Genzo*

The answer was short and sweet

 *thinking Key*

Genzo didn't want to let that sit on him:

 *WHERE ARE YOU, I need to talk to you, G.*

But Keyla didn't answer that. How should she stand it here for the next 2 weeks when everything that can go wrong is already going wrong. She also thought about the scene at the airport when Genzo pulled his hand away from her and if she really thought about it, it wasn't wrong at all. Because that would be the top story par excellence, at the Japanese airport she held Taro's hand and in Germany it was Genzo's. She couldn't help but smile a little.

It was getting cold, but that didn't bother her much. At least she knew the weather here in Germany. But it was also time for her to go back, and she also knew that there were no reporters left, they would only come back after the first game, which took place in 2 days. After half an hour, she arrived at the hotel and went straight to the room. She showered and got dressed before going downstairs. In the hallway in front of her room, she met Tsubasa, who wanted to engage her in conversation right

away *Key, I know how you feel, but Genzo is worried that you might not be able to cope with all this and give up. The problem is that not only are you seen as a player's girlfriend, but you also come under more pressure as the team's doctor. He needs you now as much as you need him, talk to him* were his words that made Key think too. He was right about everything, but she was more than overwhelmed and had to let everything sink in first. So she went into the dining room where she was one of the first and sat next to Tsubasa and Taro. Now Genzo, Ken, Jun and Hikaru also arrived and expecting again, Genzo sat down next to her and grabbed her hand before kissing her. She fervently hoped that she was up to the pressure and that everything would hold up.

But since the press was no longer there, she was able to relax a little and enjoyed his closeness and that he was showing her right now that he was there for her, without blaming her for why she had left earlier.

*will we meet in the lobby later?* he whispered to her and Keyla nodded in confirmation.

After a relaxed meal, she went up to her room to change clothes before meeting Genzo. After 5 minutes she was in the lobby, where he was already waiting. He took her hand and pulled her behind him, out into the fresh air.

In front of the hotel was a small park with a few benches where he sat down and motioned for her to sit down too. He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her very close so she could rest her head on his chest and feel his even breathing. There was the feeling of security that she had missed so much in the last few hours. Keyla closed her eyes because she could have sat there with him forever.

*key? * she looked at him briefly, but immediately put her head back on his upper body

* it's just as difficult for me at the moment as it is for you. I know the press and the public, but I couldn't protect you and that hurts me because I see how much it hurts you and you are overwhelmed with the new situation* Keyla looked up again, but not to answer, but to give her Genzo a kiss because she knew he meant well by her. After they broke apart, they looked into each other's eyes for a long time before he demanded the next kiss. Which didn't seem to end either. Both enjoyed it, because despite everything, they had time to themselves, because that was their biggest fear before they flew here. Since it was already late, they then went hand in hand to the hotel, because the others were probably already waiting because they wanted to have a drink at the bar.

Once there, she walked past Tsubasa

*thanks for everything* she whispered to him. And he understood right away what she meant.

Shortly thereafter, Mr. Mikami came in again.

*Guys, Keyla... starting at 8 tomorrow, everyone will have their medical exams and then you'll have free time. You're welcome to do something, but you've been back in time for dinner* he wished you a nice evening and disappeared again.

Taro approached Genzo and Keyla and grinned at them

*can I kidnap my new girlfriend for a moment? * which all 3 laughed at because Genzo and they knew what he was referring to. Keyla gave Genzo another kiss and followed behind Taro.

*How are you Keyla, we were really worried before you leave, at least let one of us know so we don't worry unnecessarily* Keyla nodded and promised him that if something like this happened again, she would let you know gave. They both went back, she hugged her genzo and gave him a kiss

*I'm tired, don't be mad at me, but I'm going to bed* she whispered to him before kissing him again.

*sleep well my little one* were his words. She said goodbye to the others before she made her way to her room. She put on her sleeping clothes, got into bed and watched some more TV, the clock showed 10:23 p.m. But she was dead tired and fell asleep a few minutes later.

Keyla looked at the clock, it read 6:30. She wondered whether to stay in bed for another half hour or whether to get up already. But the decision was taken from her, because it knocked. Keyla walked comfortably out of bed, towards the door, to then open it

*good morning, my little one, well you slept well* she knew the voice, of course, and opened the door a bit more so that he could come in, and gave her a tender kiss in passing. She had rather wondered why he was already awake, after all the boys were there longer than she was yesterday. But that didn't matter for a moment, she closed the door and then walked over to her Genzo to put her arms around his neck and then hug him. Because she had missed him a lot during the night. *unfortunately I don't have that much time, but I really wanted to see you* he whispered. They looked at each other again, only to kiss afterwards.

*Genzo you have to go back over there, I still have to take a shower and I'm sure you do too* gently she pushed him in the direction of the door.

*not before you gave me another kiss* because he couldn't get enough of that so Keyla gave in because she couldn't help it and kissed him, she knew it wasn't going to be easy but this she would not have thought that it would be so difficult for her. Although they had the medical examination afterwards, she wasn't alone with Genzo, because the examination was monitored by the German association, so that everything went right. Keyla showered and got dressed and made her way towards the lobby where she was ultimately picked up by an officer and taken to the premises where the investigation was to take place. Gradually, the players came to her and she repeated the same procedure for each one, but she took a closer look at Hikaru, Tsubasa and Genzo, after all they had also been injured before. After 3 hours she was finally through and could breathe a sigh of relief, because everyone was in great shape. She wrote her report in duplicate, once for the association and once for the coach himself. As she entered the lobby, she handed the document to Mr. Mikami, who glanced over it

*tonight after dinner, I'll post tomorrow's lineup. And now I wish you a nice day* and with that he already said goodbye

*key? What do you feel like now* Genzo came towards her... Keyla just grinned at him and he understood, she wanted to get at it, but couldn't express it.

*good question, I have no idea at the moment, what do you want to do? * Genzo briefly thought about how to answer that, because he didn't know himself, he just wanted to spend time with her, so it didn't matter where they would go.

*Key, Genzo? We want to go around town a bit, do you want to come with us? * asked Taro and Genzo and Keyla agreed.

So they had lunch and then set off with almost half the team. So they strolled hand and hand through Berlin. They constantly exchanged amorous looks, kissed and didn't even catch the one photographer who snapped them. the day passed, everyone arrived safely at the hotel. Disappeared briefly to their rooms, only to meet again shortly thereafter in the dining room. Again, Genzo held his Keyla's hand the whole time and didn't leave her side, because he also knew that as soon as the games started, they would have even less time.

After the meal, Mr. Mikami stood in the middle of the room to announce the lineup. Which was not particularly surprising, because she was the same as always.

*Please be in your room at 10 p.m. sharp, then it’s night’s rest, we’ll do some light training tomorrow morning around 10 a.m. and we have the game in the afternoon. Be punctual*, Mikami warned her and then withdrew as well

Key and Genzo decided to go outside and enjoy the last few hours. Because tomorrow reporters would be here again. Keyla looked up at the sky, it was a starry night. Genzo stood behind her, wrapped his hands around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder. He never wanted to let go of her again and kissed her neck and neck. Keyla obviously enjoyed it, but she stopped her genzo

*what you are doing is very mean and not nice at all* she grinned at him, whereupon he gave her a questioning look

*we have separate rooms and you are really not making it easy for me right now, to resist* she went on, and he too now understood what she was getting at. But he really didn't care. So he kissed her neck again and then put his head back on her shoulder. He just enjoyed the time with her. She took his hand and led him into the lobby, up to her room, because they still had a few minutes and she wanted to spend them with him. Once in the room, she collapsed onto the bed and pulled him with her so that he was now over her. She touched his cheeks, his mouth, his torso, put her hand on the back of his neck, pulling him a little closer, and then kissed him more passionately than ever. Genzo would have loved to attack her now, but he just managed to pull himself together because this wasn't the best time. When her lips parted, she risked a look at the clock, she still had 2 minutes before he had to go to his room and gave him a sad look.

*don't be sad my little one, I'm very close to you and if anything happens you know where I am* he kissed her again before he got up and left. By 10 p.m. sharp, everyone was in their rooms.

Keyla was up very early and decided to go jogging. No reporter would be here at this hour. After half an hour she came back to the hotel, it was now 7 am... on her way through the lobby she noticed a picture in the newspaper and looked more closely.

 Changing men, did she have a new one again?! After Misaki now also Wakabayashi?

And a picture of her and Genzo kissing

But this time she just smiled at the way they portrayed it, she took a newspaper to show Genzo later. Because now she first had to shower and get ready, there was breakfast right away and then there was training, where she had to be there.

Keyla got dressed and waited in the hallway for Genzo, who wasn't there a little later, it was almost 9. Kisugi had seen her earlier when she opened the door, and he was already on his way downstairs.

Keyla just decided to go to the room and entered without knocking. But what she then saw shocked not only her, he was in the arms of another who just wanted to kiss him... Keyla was speechless, threw the newspaper in front of his feet and left without saying a word. She went into the dining room and showed nothing. Because today the press was there again, for a moment she considered sending them up to his room, but she couldn't possibly do that to the team, there were already enough headlines in the newspaper because of her.

Keyla kept a straight face and didn't talk to anyone except the trainer when she had to. She was so hurt inside

*why is he doing this to me, we haven't even been here 3 days and why today, after yesterday evening* she couldn't get out of the brooding. And neither Taro nor Tsubasa made her talk. When Genzo appeared in the hall and wanted to sit down, Keyla got up and left without looking at him because she couldn't do it anymore.

*if I had knocked, I probably would never have seen that* tears welled up in her, she thought about where she could go without everyone knowing where she was. So she already went to the training ground, where the team should train right away. She sat at the edge of the lawn

*why, why now, why here, why is he hurting me so* Keyla had so many thoughts in her head that she couldn't think straight. She saw that she was being watched and she also saw by whom, but she wanted her peace now, she wasn't in the mood for small talk. Opposite was a player from the German national team, whom she knew from Hamburg before he went to Munich. It was Karl Heinz Schneider. She always got along well with him, but now she wanted peace and quiet.

When the boys came to training, Keyla got up and sat down on the bench.

*hey, are you alright? * Taro asked cautiously. She turned to him and he looked into her eyes, which were full of tears, pain and desperation. The first thing he instinctively did was hug her before trying to figure out what was going on, but he didn't have to try.

*I saw Genzo with another woman* she blurted out, and Taro didn't know what to say to that either. He just gave Genzo an angry and irritated look.

*calm Key, I'll talk to him later, maybe it'll clear up* Taro tried to calm her down.

*and why are you here and not him if he would like to clarify it? * but Taro was not prepared for the question and didn't know an answer, but the question was justified.

*I don't like to leave you here alone, but I have to go to the others* Taro apologized and ran onto the field. The practice didn't last that long and when Mr. Mikami said the practice was over, she was the first to leave the court and went to her room to get some rest, but before she did, her eyes caught the eye the room at the end of the hall where she had seen Genzo and the other woman this morning. Tears welled up again, she went into her room, locked it behind her and got into bed, set the alarm clock and fell asleep in tears

Keyla heard the knocking, but she didn't want to open the door, she ignored it and hoped that he would go away on his own, she was too hurt to see him like that. but he didn't give up

*Key please open it, let me explain it to you... I don't want to lose you* after these words, she couldn't help it and opened and he entered. She sat back down on the bed but couldn't look at him. It hurt him to see her like that, her eyes full of desperation and pain. He could understand her, he probably wouldn't have reacted differently himself.

*Key, I'm sorry you had to see that. The woman you saw earlier was my ex girlfriend. I was just as surprised to see her, I tried to brush her off, but she really wanted to talk to me. At some point she fell on my neck and wanted to kiss me, but before I could reject her, you stood in the door. I don't want anything more from her, I told her that the whole time, also that I have a new girlfriend, but she didn't give up. I then threw her out of the room and looked at the newspaper, and I was glad that the public now also knows that you are the woman by my side. The title was chosen stupidly, but now everyone knew. Key, I didn't mean to hurt you like that. I love you*
