For the Better - A Pedri Story

8. Speechless

Lea's POV:

Tonight has been the most interesting night I've had in a while. I arrived at this club with only the intention of trying to distract myself enough to forget what I witnessed earlier. Now some might say that I'm being overly dramatic and really, all we witnessed was Gavi and Pedri having dinner with those two girls. But, knowing for a fact that the girl has been chasing Gavi for some years and that Gavi is fully aware of that loca's obsession towards him, my feelings are just a tad bit bruised. 

Maybe he likes her.

"Lea, would you like another drink?" Carlos, my new friend I met earlier tonight on the dancefloor snaps me back to reality, "Si, por favor.."I smiled at him, now I might be hurt by today's event, but it is never my intention to purposely hurt Gavi. Ha! Who am I kidding, he probably wouldn't be hurt at all! Firstly, he doesn't like me like that and secondly, he doesn't even know I like him like that. 

Ugh. I didn't know that I actually groaned out loud, most probably making the most god-awful sound and scaring away a few people around me in the process, until Carlos hands me a vodka-tonic, "Que Pasa, hermosa?"Okay, I would have blushed if he was Gavi, but I instead feel guilty, "Nothing, I'm just thinking about something, lo siento! I didn't mean to be a party-killer" I say to him, trying my best to pull a cute face. 

"You're not being any kind of party-killer, mi hermosa..In fact, your adorable albeit annoyed facial expression make me want to kiss you more" He says, my brain suddenly tried switching gears but failing big time in the process as I did't have enough brain cell intact to react quick enough to what's about to happen next.

Before I know it, Carlos is grabbing my face with both hands, pulling me in for a kiss. I could now hear the people around us erupting into a loud cheer, my eyes wide open as well, so I awkwardly scan the room behind Carlos' head, his friends giving me big grins and thumbs ups.

I quickly raised both of my hands to his chest, pushing him lightly but firmly. A small gesture to try to send my message across - that I don't want to be kissed - but also not to embarrass him in front of a crowd. I was about to open my mouth to turn him down, thinking that ripping the band-aid off now would be most graceful in situations like this, until I was pulled back by someone, and in that same second Carlos is now on the receiving end of Gavi's punch.

"Oh my God, Gavi! Stop!" I yelled, rushing towards the two, and mostly towards Gavi knowing that he will most likely be outnumbered, plus, people are now recognizing him and some taking out their phones to snap a picture.

"Gavi, please, stop." I pleaded while holding on to him. After he stares Carlos down, he turns to look at me and I see what I didn't expect to see from Gavi's eyes. Fear and anger.

Y/n's POV:

*Groans*

I don't think I've ever felt this kind of hangover in my life before. I lay in bed with the covers up to my face, trying to shield the sunlight that's coming through a window, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and toast filling the air. At least theres that. A smile starting to slowly and painfully grows on my face, forever grateful for these small things on a day like this.

I lay there for a few more minutes, not daring to open my eyes even just for a peek, until my stomach starts growling. Now Lea is probably making some chorizo, delicious but greasy smell enticing me out of bed. 

"Lea!!" I yell, opening one of my eyes in the process while wondering why on earth Lea's awake before me. I know that I had a lot to drink last night, but surely I drank way less compared to Lea, who for the most part of the time, drank and danced all her feelings away.
