when sofia woke up, joão was nowhere to be seen. she turns to the side, only to see a note on the bedside table. she picks it up confused.
"i'm sorry, i had to go to work. me and rodri will drop by later to check on you. make sure your work knows you won't be there
stay safe
-joão x"
"how cute." sofia mumbles to coco.
sofia picks up her phone and rings liverpool to inform of her absence. afterwards, she gets in the shower. the whole time, all she thinks about is joão cancelo.
time passes quite quickly and before she knows it, it's 4:30, a knock at the door.
she goes down to open it. surprisingly, just rodri is there.
"hola, sorry joão couldn't make it." rodri says, hugging sofia.
"oh, why not?" she asks, hugging him back.
"i don't know... sorry." he replies.
"no need to apologise. anyway, can we sit down? my legs are tired." sofia says, smiling.
the two sit on the couch together (with coco) and talk.
"sofia... do you have a crush on joão." rodri asks, awkwardly.
"i mean... he's just a friend." sofia replies.
"oh... alright." he mumbles.
"why? do you like me?" sofia asks.
"no... it's just that... joão likes you... he told me... i just don't want him broken... so tell me now." joão says, firmly but nervously.
"what... is this the reason your here? mi madre just DIED, and your here just... i bet you and joão planned this." sofia replies angrily.
"no, it isn't the case... sofia... i'm sorry." he mumbles.
suddenly, he pulls her close, into a hug.
"i'm sorry... i lied. i like you to." rodri says.
sofia looks at him awkwardly. that hug soon turns into a kiss.
"what about joão?" sofia asks.
"he doesn't have to know." he replies.
rodri looks at sofia like a goddess.
"you are gorgeous." he adds.
"t-thank you." sofia mumbles.
joão holds sofia's hand and walks to her room.
"one second, i'm getting changed. wait there." she says.
a minute later, rodri walks in.
"oh god... scared me." sofia says.
"sorry." he replies.
they both lie down together, like she did with joão the previous night.
"are you sure you don't know where joão is?" sofia asks.
"i'm sure." rodri mumbles back.
she rolls over on to rodri and falls asleep on his chest.
