I arrive at my apartment around 12pm and the first thing I do is call Hiba. I am not sure why I thought, throwing a party at my place would be a good idea but I did it and now there is no going back.
"Hey Maria", she answers.
"Hey, I know this is a little unexpected but I really need your help and I hope you are free tonight" I say desperately. I hear her laughter on the other side.
"I am free and happy to help you", she giggles.
"I decided to throw a party at my place and I need some help with decorating and everything else..."
"Sure thing, we can grab a coffee to go and shop for your party", she says. We talk for a little bit, I tell her about my first day at work and she tells me about painting lessons she has been taking. After out conversation, I jump in the shower. Usually, when I shower I visualize the water taking away the stress and negative thoughts down the drain and most of the times it works like magic and showers relax me. After I'm done I go to my bed and lay there, without any distractions, no music, no phone, no tv. I am glancing around the apartment trying to think of ideas on how to decorate it. I'm also worried about who Kylian and Neymar plan to invite, so I find my phone and text Kylian.
Me: Please, don't invite everyone you know. I don't want complete strangers in my apartment
He replies within a minute.
Kylian: relax. it'll be chill
Me: I hope so
Kylian: dresscode?
Me: um, put clothes on?
Kylian: so I can come in a bathrobe?
Me: sure, it will look better than anything you wear anyways
Kylian: excuse me? I'm a fashion icon
Me: mhmmm
I slowly drift off and I fall asleep completely unplanned. It was a quick nap before my phone wakes me up and I see Hiba's name on the screen. I see her message 'I am waiting for you in front' and jump out of the bed quickly. I am already dressed so I grab my purse and sunglasses aggressively and head out. She is waiting for me in her car, at front entrance and from the corner of my eye I see couple of paparazzis hiding. I wonder how long before they figure out who I am and start bothering me. My father has always tried to protect me but I am pretty sure most of the people who are into football are familiar with me. I get in and hug her.
"Nice to see you again", I exclaim.
"Nice to see you too ma'am", she jokes. We drive for about fifteen minuter before arriving at a local coffee shop. I jump out of the car and take two coffees to go, and after I pick them up , I quickly get in the car again. We continue to drive for another ten minutes then we arrive at a big store, where I guess you can find party decoration as well. Two hours have passed and we finally got everything. We bought beverages, snacks, cool red cups, some decoration and party games. I didn't buy a lot of alcohol because most of the guest are athletes and I don't want to be responsible for getting them drunk.
"Do you want to grab something to eat?" Hiba asks as we are putting everything in the trunk.
"Sure" I say, feeling a little hungry.
"What do you want to eat?"
"I would like some pasta"
"I know the best place", she exclaims. She takes me to a restaurant named 'No name Restaurant' and explains how it's a restaurant in Paris that's secluded and she keeps it a secret from everyone. She says that she always eats here with her friends or family. The restaurant is on the corner of a street I've never seen or heard of, and it's tiny. As we walk in, she starts greeting every single employee there and I can't help but laugh, she is so cute. We take a table in the corner with a window right next to us. The place is very cozy and the view out of the window is captivating; cute Parisian street with a lot of flowers everywhere. The waiter approaches us and we order a lot of delicious food. Once the food is served, my phone buzzes and I see a message from Kylian.
