PART ONE. PART TWO.
•☆•••☆•
There was something thrilling about being in a secret relationship. The late-night calls, the confidential trips to visit him, the subliminal messages spoken in interviews that only you and Michael could understand. The secrecy was amusing. It almost had a taste of transgression, of doing something forbidden. Living a sweet and cozy love, unknown by the world. Safe from the paparazzi's harassment and the internet's entitlement.
The chess games, the FaceTimes, the presents in your mailbox, the talks on the balcony, the cuddles in bed, the baths together, the secret vacations; all these moments belonged to the two of you. It was comfortable.
At first.
It was also bittersweet. That lingering fear of getting caught. That everlasting wonder if this or that person had recognized either of you. The never-ending lies in front of the cameras. What began as a way to protect one so sacred a bond soon turned into hiding that resembled shame a little too closely. It was exhausting. To pretend. To bite your tongue. To swallow back your words.
Sometimes, you just want to talk about the beauty of Munich. To share your experience at the stadium on a match day. To gush over your boyfriend. To say you were in love.
But you knew what the media coverage would be like. A footballer dating a model or anyone was one thing. A footballer dating a popstar was another. The scrutiny was increased, and you did not want it to impede him. Or yourself. You did not want paparazzi to chase him, inquiring about you. And you certainly did not wish to be blamed if he ever had the misfortune of losing a match.
Still, the frustration was there, bubbling up. Love was to be lived. Cherished, not hidden.
So you wrote a song. At first, it was just to get your feelings out. To pour out the love you had for Michael. Then your producer sent you a beat, you figured out a melody line, and next thing you knew, you had a new single.
And all that was needed now was the music video. The artistic direction was already set, and the director was found. The set designs were nearly done being built, the choreography mastered, and the looks agreed upon.
There was only one box left unchecked: the actor.
You were sitting on the floor of Michael's living room. When you were not tending to your popstar duties abroad, you lived with him in Munich. You'd be the first one he'd see when waking up, kissing you goodbye before leaving for practice. And you'd be the last one he'd see when going to bed, kissing you good night before falling asleep. A little, sweet, cozy routine.
Hunched over the coffee table, your braids pooling on the lacquered wood, you browsed through a file of pictures your team had sent you. Potential actors or models to star in the video. Though, truthfully, you were not quite excited about any of them. They were handsome; looks were not the problem. But you could not project yourself with any of them.
"Should I get worried that you're reviewing a file full of men's pictures?"
You let out a chuckle as the couch right behind you sank as Michael sat down. His locs were let loose, grazing slightly against his shoulder blades. He had discarded his shirt, leaving his upper body fully nude for your eyes to enjoy. The black ink of his tattoos contrasted gently against the warm brown of his skin as the lighting emphasized the sculpt of his abs and biceps. His sweatpants were low enough to give a glimpse of the black lettering on his boxers' white waistband: Calvin Klein.
The corner of his lips curled up. "Eyes are up there, babe."
"Sorry." You looked away, face flushed. It had been months since you both had been together, yet you were always rendered in awe whenever his shirt was off.
Michael leaned on his knees and gently grabbed your chin to make you look at him. Your breath hitched, your eyes blinking a little too fast, as his lips hovered ever so slightly above yours. Taunting you. His breath tickled your mouth so teasingly.
Months have passed, and yet Michael always made you feel as though it was the first day.
"Don't play coy just to distract me," he said, his low voice sending chills down your spine. "Answer the question, babe."
As enthralled by his simple presence as you were, it was still amusing how his jealousy shone through despite his trying to act all nonchalant about it.
"I'm looking for my next lover."
You purposely phrased it ambiguously and were quite satisfied when the frown on his brow deepened. You giggled and pecked his lips.
"My next music video, baby," you added, putting an end to his woes. "I'm looking for the guy who will play my love interest in my next music video. These are the profiles my team sent me."
"Mhm." He looked back at the pictures scattered on the coffee table. "What's the song again?"
"Mr. Nonchalant."
He cocked his head to the side, that same smirk back on his lips. "So you're looking for another man to play your love interest for a song about me instead of asking me?"
You stared at him, taken aback.
"You'd be down to star in my video?" You asked, eyes wide.
He nodded. "You just have to ask me."
Truth be told, Michael had been the very first one you thought of when you first imagined the music video. After all, the song literally was about him. But you were well aware of his shy nature when cameras were rolling, and the fact that he was a very private person when it came to his relationships. Especially with you. He knew how much people picked on your life and examined your every move under a microscope, so he wanted to protect what you both had.
"Well, of course, I want to, but..."
"But what?"
You rested your chin on his knee, your hand finding his calf as you gently caressed it. "Are you really okay with going public? I don't want you to regret it or to weigh on you..."
Michael's hand cupped your face, his thumb stroking your cheekbone. His movements were so tender and his palm so warm that you snuggled closer into it.
"Why would I regret it?" He asked. "I'm not ashamed of you."
You relaxed against him. It had been silly to think he would ever worry about such a thing. When it came to football, he only cared about the game and despised media duty. And when it came to you, he only cared about you. He only loved you. He only breathed you. He'd ignore the media and discussions like he'd do after a match. Because what they think does not matter; only you do.
"I don't mind going public," he added. "And I usually don't care who you act with, but that song's mine. So it's gotta be me."
You laughed as you leaned back against the table.
"What? It's true." He nodded at your laptop lying in a corner. "You wrote that about me, yeah? So I star in the video."
All you could do was smile so bright that your eyes squinted. Then, you moved closer and cupped his face, pressing your lips against his. Michael's arms quickly wrapped around your waist, pulling you to sit on his lap. He pressed you against him as your arms enclosed his neck.
"And you wear my jersey too," he added against your lips.
You giggled again. "You really want everyone to know, huh?"
He smiled. "No room for confusion."
And there had been truly no room for confusion.
Truth be told, though he very happily volunteered to star in your music video, Michael was quite nervous when he got on set, all dressed up. He liked what he was wearing: a durag, a sleeveless jacket with nothing underneath showing off his toned body and tattoos, silver chains sitting on his collarbone, and baggy jeans. Very stylish. Very fashionable. Very hot.
But he was no actor, and he did not want to ruin your work that was always so perfect. Although when he saw you walking into the set, all his worries vanished, your long braids swaying behind you with every step you took.
His eyes first noticed the shirt you were wearing. His jersey. A smirk played on his lips at the sight. The bottom was tucked into your bra to make it look cropped. Then his eyes slowly moved down onto your body, lingering on your belly ring. And before he could stop himself, his tongue dragged on his lower lip, seeing the strings of your thong past your low-rise jeans, sitting nicely on your hips. The color especially caught his attention.
I like your eyes 'cause they match my thong
He remained still, observing you from afar as you conversed with the director. He kept his thoughts in check, but Michael planned on keeping you awake for most of the night.
The storyline was simple: you were trying to seduce the only man who appeared to give you no attention. And though the man appeared not to care, he was, in reality, very enthralled by you.
And Michael had no difficulty playing his part.
It was as if the cameras had disappeared, as if they did not exist. All his attention was fully on you. His attention was always on you whenever you entered a room. It was only a natural reaction for him to have his eyes immediately find you and remain on you as if his focus, his whole mind, belonged to you.
Hug on me, why you hugging up on the wall? Looking like you ain't done nothing wrong before
When you walked past him in the club, Michael maintained eye contact, then blatantly let his gaze linger on your butt as you looked at him over your shoulder with a smile. When he sat at a table while you danced on a stage, he stared shamelessly as you swayed and rolled your hips tantalizingly. When he was asked to tease you, he had too much fun pulling you by the waist, his eyes fixed on your lips, before walking away right after.
Though you both played it off as acting, Michael knew he had an actual effect on you, which placed a permanent smirk on his lips. When he hooked his finger to one of your belt hoops and pulled you closer, he knew that your breath hitch was no theatrics. When he trapped you against the wall, he knew that your clutch on his arms was performance. When he'd openly check you out, he knew that the blush on your cheeks was no pretense. It was so easy to fluster you, and it was so easy for you to make him utterly and completely lose his mind without much trying.
Hey, Mr. Nonchalant I'm Mrs. Get-Anything-I-Want
And this game of cat and mouse was even more amusing than you first imagined. You acting all frustrated when he'd ignore you, or rather purposely playing hard to get; you comically tossing your hair back or lowering your already low-rise jeans just to taunt him. It was the right amount of sensuality mingled with comedy.
The chemistry was so obvious it was almost painful for the crew to watch the two of you, sometimes feeling as though they were intruding on something. The way you looked at each other, the way you touched each other, the way you smiled at each other. If you were not already dating, rumors would have definitely spread the second the music video hit YouTube.
Brace yourself, we got time to beat Pace yourself when you're downing me
Michael hovered over you as you lay on a bed, the tip of your fingers brushing his glistening abs. He held your chin when you were both sitting in a booth, his other arm resting on the backrest behind you. His hand settled on your clothed thigh, barely hiding the fact that he was palming it as you pretended not to notice. His fingers traced up your spine as he hugged you, from your low-rise jeans to under your jersey, his name and number displayed for the camera.
The chemistry and tension were almost too unbearable.
But given the song and the lyrics, it was exactly what was needed. When you had first finished the song, you were ready to let it gather dust in the vault and never release it. It was embarrassing that you wrote about your desire for your boyfriend so shamelessly. It was not the first time you had written about real people in your life, but it was a first that you went in that direction.
And surprisingly, it was Michael who pushed you to put it in your upcoming album. Actually, it was not surprising at all. He was wearing the biggest grin when he first listened to it while you were basically hiding your face behind your hands.
"You really want me that bad, huh?" he had teased you, glancing at you dying on the couch.
"Shut up."
He laughed, looking back at the lyrics in your notebook.
"I mean, you said it yourself, right?" he had continued and read, "Pourin' heavy... All this teasing is turning me on and on... I like all kind of prints... It's you that I wanna follow home--"
"Alright, alright, I get it!" You had thrown a pillow at him, only making him double over with laughter. "My god, I'm never releasing this."
It was quite ironic as your very hand wrote these lyrics, though was now adamant to never have anyone see this or hear this song.
And it would have been the case had Michael never objected to it.
He had pulled you by the arm, then held you by the waist.
"The song's amazing, it'd be a shame to keep it in the vault," he said.
"It's embarrassing."
"It's sexy," he had corrected. "Release it, babe. You did amazing."
Michael was barely hiding his intentions. He never meddled with your career, especially your album tracklisting. But aside from it being a good song, it was a song about him. It was more than flattering that you wrote a song about your desire for him. It only spoke of the love you had for him, so burning, so strong you could not keep it in and had to turn it into art. Michael was moved. Deeply. And the thought of you claiming him in front of the whole entire world made his stomach flutter in excitement and love.
And the whole world sure got the message. As expected, the music video went viral, with all social media platforms sharing it and talking about it. Your releasing new music was already an event in itself, but having Michael star in it did add more visibility and curiosity, as well as excitement. The surprise factor brought engagement.

The music video crashed the internet. Nearly half a million tweets mentioned your name; another half a million mentioned Michael's; some fans celebrated as they had been wishing for the relationship for a while; others were more cautious, not wanting to put a label on what may just be a friendship.
For days, it was the topic both the football sphere and the music world were talking about. After all, such a crossover was always the most glamorous yet improbable link-up. It was not the first time a pop star dated a footballer--Victoria and David Beckham may be the blueprint. The reference. It always garnered fascination, especially as you and Michael were still young and very active in your respective fields.
It had only increased when the behind-the-scenes video was uploaded, in which you were shown sitting on his lap or fixing his clothes multiple times. Michael could barely keep his hands to himself during breaks: an arm around your waist or a hand playing with your hair. And let's not even mention that TikTok you posted to promote the song.
Actually, let's talk about it. You were dancing and lip-syncing in the forefront, then disappeared for a split second to drag Michael into the video. He had the most radiant of smiles, stretching from one ear to the other so much that his eyes were squinting. The same eyes that never left you, even just for a millisecond, as you kept dancing and singing. In fact, his smile was getting bigger, if that was even possible. And the look of pure adoration in his eyes was so potent and clear.
It was just so painfully obvious. And not so nonchalant from Mr. Nonchalant.
So, of course, both your comment sections from all social media were flooded with the same question: Are you guys really together?
And quite honestly, it was entertaining to watch unfold. With your head on his shoulder and your arms hugging his arm, you watched as Michael scrolled through Twitter on his burner account. He had a never-fading grin on his face, liking all the posts praising you, sometimes saving a screenshot of you that someone had posted. His shoulders shook as he let out a chuckle, reading a tweet of someone who had browsed every photograph ever posted online to find past hints. They noticed an instance where you had worn one of his shirts or another where you had used one of his pairs of sunglasses.
"I told you they'd love it," Michael told you, showing you an nth tweet praising you.
You kissed his bare shoulder. "But I feel like you're the one who loves it most."
His grin grew wider, and he leaned down to press a kiss on your forehead. "You do look stunning in my jersey."
You rolled your eyes and rested your head back on his shoulder, your cheeks suddenly a deeper shade. As much as he loved that you claimed him to the world, he also particularly liked that the world knew you were his. There was just something so... sexy in having you wear his name on your back.
Michael loved privacy. It was something he cared about a lot. He owed nothing to the world, and neither did you. But he was also proud to love you. He was proud to be your man. He was proud you were his girl. He was well aware of the luck he had.
So of course, he had to share your post in his Instagram story. A post so telling. And it was the confirmation the internet did not really need, for it was so obvious like a fork found in the kitchen: you and Michael Olise were dating. And you both were very much in love.
