the secret

chapter 27

Delaney POV
"Wake uppp!" I heard right before I opened my eyes. I yawned and saw Gavi leaning over me.
"It's so early" I whined
"It's already 9am" he laughed
"Well I want to lay in bed" I smiled turning around
"Fine guess I'll just spend the day with someone else" he said getting up
"Don't you dare" I said getting up quickly. I jumped onto him as he carried me out to the kitchen.

"I'm craving some pancakes so let's get cooking" he said grabbing the ingredients. I laughed as I began to help him.
"Aren't I supposed to be the one with the cravings" I said confused. We both looked at each other and laughed.
"Are you really sure you want to make everyone believe the baby is yours? I can do my best to hide it from the press, you don't have to take responsibility" I sighed.
"Of course I want to. I'm being serious when I say I want to be part of your life forever. And I'll help you as best I can to raise the child, like my own." he smiled hugging me.

I felt guilty and wasn't convinced. I wanted to avoid thinking that eventually we'd tell Pedri the truth and I'm not sure how that would affect their friendship.

I shook my thoughts away and tried to enjoy the moment since it was going to be awhile before I saw Gavi again.

We finished cooking breakfast and we watched some of Gavis highlights.
"Literally cannot believe you chose to watch this" I laughed
"What? I need to see where I can improve" he smirked
"I think you just like to watch yourself" I laughed

Last night we stayed up planning a whole day of things to do for our last day. We had been spending a lot of time at the apartment and decided we should go out for the day.
We got dressed and grabbed our things, before heading out of the apartment. We got to my car through the back door and headed off.

First we were going to go to visit a beautiful cathedral right in the center of Madrid. This was definitely a must see when coming to Madrid, even driving past is an amazing sight. We arrived near the cathedral and parked a few blocks down so we could walk. Our plan was to walk as fast as we could without stopping to avoid crowds.

We finally got inside and there was a mix of people, but mostly older people. So it was calm and quiet. We held hands as we walked around to admire the inside. I had never been inside and it was definitely worth it.

Since we realized people probably wouldn't stop to try and say hi to Gavi, we decided to just walk around the main town. It was a bit cold out today but the vibes were perfect. We passed by a store that had some tourist gifts, and Gavi stopped.

"Look, we should get a pin for Martin" he said pointing at one through the window. I smiled, "Aw you remembered of his collection?" I replied
"Yeah, he shows me every time I go over" Gavi laughed as we walked inside.

We looked through all the pins and finally found the perfect one. As we were paying the cashier looked at Gavi and smirked, "Hala Madrid!" He said.

"Hmm I might have to return that" Gavi laughed
The store owner smiled and put his hand out for Gavi to shake. We thanked him and walked out.

"I guess that's why no one has stopped to say hi, they don't like you" I joked
"Psh everyone likes me" he smirked
"Hmm no I don't think so" I laughed
"You're so mean" he replied
"I'm just kidding" I said getting on my tiptoes to kiss his cheek. He smiled and we continued walking.

We were trying to pass time because we had made reservations at a nearby restaurant for dinner.

We sat on a bench to rest while we watched some kids play street fútbol.
"You know I tried to get Martin to tell me where you were" Gavi said playing with the ring on my finger
"And did he tell you?" I replied
"No, he wanted to. But I know your parents made sure he didn't" he smiled
"It was actually the day we had practice with your dad. We were all in a bad place mentally I think. The guys all missed you. And we could see how upset your father was. Even Martin was rude to Pedri" he chuckled
"I miss them too. I'll have to make it up to everyone. But what did Martin do? I told him to be nice" I replied
"Nothing he just told Pedri what he needed to hear. But yeah I told him to apologize that you wouldn't want him to be mean" Gavi said smiling.
"As you know me so well" I said leaning my head on his shoulder.
