A/N This is not that edited chapter(not that the other's of this story are), this was the whole idea of this story wasn't it.
So I wanted to say to the people that be confused or to the ones that have read the story in the beginning. The MMC name was Matteo, but because of a funny situation(I can tell you about it if someone is interested) I found out that the more suitable name of his is this the current one- Mattia.
Now wish you an amazing time reading  Yearning for Love.

"Let's raise a toast for the best team captain,... Mattia Sanchez'' Mattia and his team won the big match and now they are celebrating their victory.

"Hey Mattia isn't this your lovely nerd over there?" Tim, one of Mattia’s teammates, turned to him with a viscous smirk. 

‘’Hmm?" Mattia hummed in question. 

‘’Looks like someone is in a party mood tonight!" Apparently this someone wasn’t Mattia.

Mattia wasn't dumb, still not the smartest, but sometimes his mind worked very, very, very slow. Slower even than the atoms in the clouds. Especially when the topic was his girl. Valencia!

Matteo's eyes scanned the room until they find the girl on the improvised dancing floor in the middle of the room.

She was smiling more than ever. The colorful lights glowing at her small face. She is wearing a short spaghetti strap dark burgundy dress with embroidered flowers at the front. The back was with crossed laces, ending at her lower back. It was highlighting every curve of hers, perfect to catch every boy's- actually everyone's attention. With Valencia's every move the dress was swinging as well.

"She can't be here". He's eyes were seeing red. "This party is only for the schools sports teams and she is not participating in any!" Matteo's voice was harsher in comparison even when he was trying to motivate his team when someone had done something extremely stupid. 

"You know she is a cheerleader, right?" Tom asked.

Of course, Mattia knew. He knew everything related to her. He might sound like a creeper, but the fact that everyone thinks they hate each other, meant that no one has figured out his real intentions…yet.

"Yes, but it isn't a sport and she wasn't even at the match today!" One more proof that he knew everything.

"It is still a sport bro- but how do you kno-" Dominick started, but was interrupted by Mattias.

"She wasn't in school so I doubt that she was participating any of the games today." Yes she wasn't but this isn't the whole truth either. He had feelings for her, not only hate. He was yearning to have her. 

"Oh yeah true, I haven't heard anything about you two fighting for what…like a month now. So she hasn't been in school for that long?" Everyone looked at Mattia.

"It didn't sound like the perfect double A+ nerd, Valencia Fernandez."

"She has been doing an online school since then!" Mattia muttered and his expression hardened. The next question made him clench his jaw.

"So the rumors you made her cry are true?" Mattia just glared at him. The memory of that day immediately floated to his mind. Her breathless cries. How vulnerable she looked wrapped in his embrace…everything! How her filled with fear eyes looked into his in hope of finding some help from him, the guy that made her experience all that.

Mattia was on the verge of saying or even doing something that wasn't appropriate for an important person like him. Something that he was going to regret after. Something not suitable for a team captain…for a Sanchez's. 

Then Coll joined their conversation, his best friend of 10 years.

"Bro,did you forget her other reason to be here ?" Coll said and tilted his head to the boy holding Valencia's waist from behind.

"Oh, right I forgot that she is the girlfriend of the captain of the opponent's team." Mattia rolled his eyes in annoyance. He hated him more than anything and anyone else, not only that he was his real enemy, but because Melvin was… Melvin.

"I know she is a silly girl attracted by the bad guy, but how could someone be that dumb to be in love with that prick? Like for real, he is the city’s biggest playboy and everyone acknowledged that." Mattia scoffed, trying to hide how jealous he was seeing her smile when they were around. That smile. She. And everything about her needed to be his. His and only.

More than 3 hours had passed and Mattia haven't stopped watching in her direction even for a moment.

"World to Matteo" Cole snatched his fingers in Matteo's face.

"Yeah, what do you want?" Mattia answered blurted, again without releasing his gaze from Valencia, who was sitting by the bar and downing her 3th glass of whiskey.

" I've been your best friend for years, how did you forgot to mention that you are secretly crushing Valencia Fernandez?" He was laughing but his attitude was like an offended kid. 

Mattia immediately turned and narrowed his eyes at his friend. His hand helped him say " What the fuck, no!" he paused for a moment "Never! She is gross…and a nerd. Yeah me and her never! Who told you that I was in love with her!" he continued ranting and blabbing around.

"Now, now dear Matti, I didn't say you were in love and no one told me anything, either. It was just your behavior." Coll was grinning and even smizing at him. A genuine smile that made small wrinkles appear around his hazel eyes.

"Mine what?" Mattia tried to sound clueless but it seemed like Cole didn't buy it at all. ‘’And never call me that again, understand?’’ to this Coll didn’t say anything instead just laughed.

"Oh shut up! I don't think you randomly chose a table that was directly watching at the Melvin's team lodge, did you?

"Of course it was a random table and also there wasn't any other table left." Mattia tried lying to his friends because when they were choosing a table, Cole was talking to some girl.

"Mhmmm, and what about the table at the far end of the room, from where we can't see them at all? " Cole winked at him. "Don't worry your secret is safe with me" he made a motion with his left hand imitating zipping his mouth and throwing the key in a lake while making a sound that the key was sinked to the bottom. Mattia elbowed him, making Cole mutter emotionless 'Ouch'.

"OKAY, YOU DON'T LIKE HER," Cole said in a cursive tone, "then why were we watching her for 2 hours now, mmm?

"Because I'm concerned, okay! She is under age, still her brainless boyfriend left her drink and probably now she is already drunk!- Wait why is she alone-"

"She is a big girl-" a loud noise made Coll pause. Then they noticed a drunk Melvin yelling at Valencia, his hands trapping her between him and the bar.

"Fuck you, you were just a toy for me. You have never been anything more than… a toy for me!" The voice of Melvin was bouncing in the whole place. "Go find a new fuck buddy we are over…baby!" He said to her and then shoved her at the bar.

Mattia stood up from his stool with his veins pulsating and his hands in fists. He was going to smash the face of this bastard without caring what would happen after. It didn't matter. Valencia was the only one he was caring about and now, she was in danger. He made one step closer to the scene when Coll grabbed his hand and dragged Mattia to him.

"Bro, listen!" Cole' s voice was radiating worry " Please don't do anything…I see you care about her but don't ruin your future for this sl-, girl! I meant GIRL!" Even though Mattias was mad at the word his friend was going to use for his love he knew how right his friend was.

"I know but–she needs me, so fucking let my hand-" Mattia tried to pull away of his grip, but it was useless. He has been going to gym everyday and had gained a massive amount of muscles already, but Col was holding him impossible tight.

"No, not until either you calm down or they leave!".

On the top of one of the tables, Melvin was passionately kissing a girl. His ex-girlfriend. The dark haired, tall, tanned and slim model Inna.

 Everyone was cheering at them and laughing at the poorly crying Val, who had runned through the door seconds ago.

"This is your call Mattia!" Coll laughed at him.

"Oh shut the fuck up! It's 3 in the fucking morning and we are in the suburbs of nowhere. The city is like hour and a half from here, not to mention that she came with him-"

"Yeah, yeah just go" Coll playfully winked at Mattia and tossed him the keys of his car. Mattia glared at him strangely.

"What am I supposed to do with this, Coll?"

"You didn't think that I was going to let you save your princess with your motorbike, did you?" Mattia was a perfect driver even though he never had a car, he had a driver license. To feel the fresh air and the cold breeze on his curly hair was his way to escape his tough reality and the reason why he preferred the fast bikes than the closed cars. 

Valencia on other hand was more than scared to travel on an open vehicle, the full opposite to Mattia.

Coll was watching what Mattia was getting from the bar the whole night, but just in case, he rose up and sniffed Mattia's glass. "How someone like you could like drinking this " he swirled the little content in the glass.

"Coconut water is better than alcohol and even tastes better." Mattia was fidgeting with his rings. Worry had fulfilled his whole body by now. 

"Okay nevermind we will talk about that later now go, Romeo" Coll pushed Mattia with a light force,  enough for him to understand that he really needs to go. 

°●•●°

"The fuck Valencia, stop and get in the fucking car" Mattia yelled from the open window by the passenger side.

"No" She sticks her tongue out at him.

Mattia immediately had run away from the party in hope that he would be able to deliver Valencia safely to her home. But it seems like she was really drunk and wants to tease him. She is swinging her legs left and right, almost falling several times by now.

"Valencia…if you don't get in the car in the next three seconds I will-" Mattia gritted his teeth and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"What will you do, Daddy?" she mocked him, with her lashes fluttering at him.

"How did you call me– never mind you are clearly drunk so just get here, before…" Mattia was too tired and annoyed by the girl, when he thought of the best way to get her in the car "the wolves eat you!’’ He said with a mischievous grin.

"What? Wolves here?" Valencia immediately ran to the front door of the car and climbed on the passenger seat.

"Good girl" Mattia murmured to himself, while leaning to buckle her seatbelt. She looked more happy than what she should be, considering that she just broke up with her long-lasting boyfriend. Mattia seems to have seen that too, but throughed that it was just the effect of the alcohol she had.

"Hey, Val you okay, right?" Actually he was worried for her, for his enemy.

‘’Mhmm" was the only sound that escaped the sleepy Valencia.

"Shhh,’’ Mattia slightly shakes her, while still looking at the road in front of him ‘’before you fall asleep I think it would be a good idea to tell me where I should drive to."

 Yes, her family was famous too, but in contrast to Mattias' family, no one knew where her’s lived. No one was allowed to know that, especially the son of Sanchez, Vallensia knew that but drunk Vallensia didn’t think of that.

"To the depths of the ocean" he glared at her.

"Hey, you asked me and I answered–Please stop, stop!" Mattia immediately understood what she meant. He pushed the brakes and unlocked the car walking to her side and pushing the passenger door open.

°●•●°

‘’Val!’’ Mattia looked at the unconscious girl in his hands.

‘’Valencia?’’ He was growing more and more worried every second she wasn’t waking up. After she vomited, he escorted her again to the car but when Mattia was going to start the engine he saw her pale face. Before he could react Valencia lost consciousness and Matt panicked. He knew that it wasn’t okay to let a drunk person pass out but her house was near so he fought his instincts.

He parked in front of her house and the first thing he did was to check her pulse, then he carried her bridal style out of the car. Once he reached the front door he remembered that she wasn’t living alone. The thought of leaving her at the door hasn't even crossed his mind.

‘’Please, I hope they aren’t here’’ It was after 4am already and if her family was home, they would probably be asleep. Then he remembered that he needed keys to unlock the door.

‘’I should have driven to my house instead’’ he scoffed. He didn’t do so, because her house was a several minutes drive and his was hours away.

‘’Val?’’ He looked down at her once he felt her shuffle in his hands.

‘’Oh you scared me, Rapunzel-’’ Mattia left a harsh breath of relief. His heart was folded into a ball this whole time while she wasn't awake.

‘’ I don't- I don't feel well’’ Valencia said with a weak voice. Her body was embraced by the big, veiny hands of her enemy.

‘’ I know Princess, I will make you feel better, I just need your keys.’’ Mattia stroked her blonde hair and looked at her sleepy ice blue eyes. They no longer hold the arrogance and the straight instead they were hiding a pain.

‘’ Uhhh—’’ her eyes were heavy again but she successfully pointed to her little bag hanging on her side.

‘’Of course, how I could be that stupid’’ he murmered to himself because he never throught of how close they were to him.

He searched out in her little shiny bag and lifted the first thing that he thought were the keys.

‘’Brat? And handcuffs?’’ Mattia left a light chuckle when he saw the keychains to her keys. A little black leather tag with white embroidered letters Brat and a little metal handcuffs.

‘’Room?’’ he asked once he opened the door slightly.

‘’ Second floor,’’ Valencia said with a sleepy voice ‘’the one with the fluffy pink door.’’ He lifted a brow at her but started walking to her room. Since he still wasn’t sure if her parents were asleep he didn’t light any lamp and this caused him to hit his leg at the base of the staircase.

‘’Fuck me!’’ He cursed, and it seems this woke up the girl since even with her eyes still closed she said 

‘’ When?’’.

°●•●°

After Mattias successfully found Valencia’s room he let her in the bed and gave her water. 

‘’Do you feel better?" He asked the girl who had lifted her blanket over her head. 

‘’I will be once you are naked and in my bed’’. Her voice was muted, but Mattia was able to hear her.

‘’What?’’ He blinked several times. 

Mattia was sitting on the end of her bed and was playing with her little leg that was outside the blanket.

‘’You were unconscious just 10 minutes ago’’. He tried to convince her that what she wanted wasn’t a good idea at all.

‘’I’m awake now, am I not?’’ At her words, Mattia just ran a hand through his face. She had told him that her parents were out of the town and there weren’t any possibilities that they would come earlier. Still this wasn’t a reason for him to stay any longer, for him it was absolutely clear what would happen if he stays.

‘’ You are drunk.’’ Valencia sat up and looked directly at Mattias eyes.’’ And you just broke up with your boyfriend’’.

‘’ And you are hard’’. Mattia let her leg and just stared at her. 

This was true. His hard on was pressing against his black jeans and he would do anything to release it. Especially for Valencia. But she was drunk and he would never do something like this without the sober consent of the person. 

‘’Val, go to sleep.’’

‘’ Noooo I want my lollipop. Now’’ Mattia laughed as she pouted at him like a 5 year old child.

‘’Some other day’’ He got up off the end of her bed and turned to walk out of the room.

‘’At least give me a kiss, pleeeease!’’

‘’ Ohhh okay!’’ Mattia went to her bed again and kissed her…on the cheek.

‘’But-’’

‘’Good night, Valencia’’ he winked at her and turned off the little lamp that was on her nightstand.

When he was closing the door he heard the soft voice of Valencia 

‘’Thank you, Daddy!’’
