brothers best friend - pedri gonzález

chapter 12: "i can handle her"

me and pedri had been dating for 4 days already, it was november 14th and i was leaving the 16th. i wasn't ready to leave my brother or pedri yet but i didn't necessarily have a choice did i?

me and pedri were getting in the car to go on a walk through a small town near barcelona because we both assumed there wouldn't be that many paparazzi there. i said that he wanted to tell me something which made me a bit nervous. maybe he wants to break up with me? maybe long distance was going to be to hard for him? i tried to push those thoughts out of my head as we pulled up to the nature preserve trail parking lot. we both hopped out as he locked the car. the trail was 2 miles long all the way around so it would take us about 35-40 minutes. if he really wanted to break up with me he wouldn't have taken me on a long walk so far from home, right?

as we hit the trail the sun shined down on us through the trees. there was nobody in the trails since it was a weekday. pedri took hold of my hand and walked silently.

"so? did you take me here to just walk or were you going to say something" i said in a sarcastic tone.

"no i wanted to talk, i'm just nervous sorry" he's breaking up with me, i thought.

"is it bad?" a slight edge of nervousness stuck itself onto my voice.

"no,no it isn't. i'm just nervous for what your going to say" he closed his eyes for a second and took a deep breathe. " i'm leaving to go to qatar in 4 days but i don't want to go alone. i know it's a lot to ask but i like you so much and i want you to come with me. it would be totally free, you'd stay with me in my hotel room and come with me and the team. everything would be paid for." i turned to face him,

"pedri i don't know what to say. i'd love too spend more time with you because i haven't had enough but at the end of the day it's also partially my parents say too. would you mind if we facetimed them tonight and talked about it with them then?"

"sounds good to me" a smile crept across his face and he let out a sigh of relief.

" it would be absolutely amazing to go with you and spend time with you i hope you know that" he let go of my hand and rested his arm over my instead.

"of course i know"

"ready?" i slipped my hand into his under the kitchen counter as i propped up my phone against a cup.

"uhm," he took a shaky breathe, "as ready as i'll ever be"

"ok good. just be the amazing person you are and i know that they'll say yes. first we need to tell them about us though, ok?"

"yeah, yeah i got this"

"alright" i squeezed his hand as i pressed the call button for my moms phone. she usually answers more than my dad does and by this time of day back home they would've woken up already. after 3 rings my my answered the facetime call sitting on the couch next to my dad.

"hi mom!"

"hi sweet pea!"

"mom, dad, can we talk to you?"

"sure?" my dad had a puzzled look on his face. i assumed that he didn't know why i said we because he didn't know yet.

"can i start off by saying this, me and pedri are together, we started dating a couple days ago and i was to nervous to tell you guys. don't worry he treats me amazing, and you've met him before. me and him actually went on a walk together before this but i just wanted to get that out of the way first"

"ok, so what's your guy's point here." my dad questioned.

" mr. y/l/n, your daughter is the most incredible person i have ever met. she's so genuine and kind. she always puts others before herself and i've liked her since i met her a little over a months ago. i'm leaving for the world cup in qatar in 4 days and i want her to come with me. everything is already payed for and she'd be staying with me in my hotel room. don't worry there's two beds and i promise you can trust me. all the meals and traveling is payed for too so if she comes with me, my team and i get on our plane thursday night and fly in early friday morning. i know that this is a lot to think over but please consider it."

" please do, especially you mom i know that you wouldn't want me to go"

"who said that" my mom asked, " i think that if it's what you both want and you'll be responsible then i think that it's ok. your an adult now y/n and i think that your smart enough to make the right decisions for yourself. don't you think y/d/n?"

"if you both think that it's the right thing to do, i support you in whatever you decide" me and pedri both turned to look at eachother. he was just as much in awe as i was. his mouth was open and his eyes showed his smile.

"thank you so much mom and dad"

"yes thank you guys so much. i'm really thankful that you guys support this"

"of course pedri, your a sweet guy and i trust you" my mom smiled through the phone.

"thank you, you don't know how much this means to the both of us"

"i'm so glad i packed a ton of extra clothes. see i told you it was worth it mom!"

" whatever you say y/n. text me all the things that you need for a month just in case. i'll pack another suitcase and bring it when me and your dad come on the 22nd. sounds good?"

"yes thank you so much mom. i love you guys!"

"love you too," both my parents said in unison.

" good luck with her pedri, she's a handful" my dad chuckled.

" i can handle her, " he turned to smile at me, " thank you so much again"

" of course!" my mom said, " bye you two,"

"bye" i hung up the phone and almost immediately got up and started running around and screaming. my brother heard us and came running downstairs, pedri got up and i ran into his arms as he wrapped me in a huge hug.

"man what happened to you two?" my brother look a little startled. i let go of pedri and looked up at him,

"should we tell him?" i whispered.

"i think so"

i turned to look at y/b/n and looked at pedri and then back again.

" i'm going to the world cup this year. with pedri"
