Y/n's POV:

"So... are you ever going to tell us what happened in that car?" Sira starts, holding a piña colada in her hand. 

Sira, Lea and I are now laying down on the beach, soaking up some sun. Since meeting Sira at the game 2 weeks ago, the three of us have somehow become the three muskeeters of the group. While I'm glad to have my girls around me on this sunny and beautiful day in Barcelona, I am also dreading this day as I know that they will press me for more information on what the real deal is between Pedri and I.

I made it a personal mission to keep what happened to myself that night. Not that I don't trust my friends or that I'm just trying to be vague for the sake of being vague, but because I just really don't know how to explain it, but now I know the time has come. They have me cornered with my drink.

Sunday - 2 weeks ago inside Pedri's car:

"So where does this leave us?" Pedri asks, looking straight ahead, a small smile started to form in the corners of his mouth while trying to catch his breath.

"I mean, I think that we should try to keep this between us for now.." I confessed, waiting anxiously for his reaction.

"So let me get this straight, we finally acknowledged that we're both attracted to each other, made out for the last 30 minutes in my car, but now I will have to act like your presence doesn't bother me while we're in front of everyone?" He half laughs, half scoffs at me, but at the same time, my mind starting to also think of all the possible awkward scenarios coming our way.

"Si?" I asked? Giving him an apologetic smile.

"Claro - but, this is not going to be sustainable for a long time. I can't promise that I can act like I don't want to kiss you all the time." He adds, making me blush hard and looks down at his fingers that's now tapping on my palm.

Back at the beach - present day:

"So, you decide to hide that you're - to quote ' getting to know each other exclusively' And now you expect me to not give in to Gavi when he asks me what's the deal between you and Pedri?" Lea says while puffing some air, probably judging my poor stress management.

"Si, you girls are my closest friends, right?" I playfully asks them while taking a big gulp of my drink. There is no way I can keep discussing my love life with these two right now without being tipsy.

"Of course, we'll support you!" Sira interjects while patting Lea on her back hard. "But, what about when other people hit on either of you guys? I mean, I get that you both can just tell them straight up that you're not interested, but I can't help but worry that jealousy might come into the picture?" Sira offers more and more sound advise and questions to me. Sometimes I feel like I should have these two listen in and look over my shoulder before I make any decisions, because I didn't even consider anything.

"Ooofff.. that'd be tough.." Lea scrunches her nose in disgust or in pain - not entirely sure which of the two. " Trust me, I would know." She says, offering more insight into her feelings towards Gavi. She has this small habit of letting us in on how she truly feels by commenting randomly in regards to her "experience"  trying to deal with her secret love for her best friend, but she actually still hasn't fully admitted to Sira and I what she truly feels about Gavi.

"Enough of my issues.. what's going on with you and Gavi lately? I couldn't help but noticed a slight awkwardness between the two of you lately?" I hesitantly ask and while I fully expected her to altogether just dodge my question, I am surprised by what she tells us next.
