never fall for brown eyes // Pedri

chapter 31

The next day Evelynn decides to fill in for the social media creator again while I stay in the hotel. I'm not in the mood to hussle with the camera again, turns out that I'm not talented with them either.

I have a late breakfast and decide to take a quick swim in the hotel's large infinity pool that's situated on the rooftop. That "quick swim" turns out to be two hours of swimming and sunbathing, but what can I say, a girl needs her own time to chill and relax.

I return to my room for a quick shower and to change my clothes and find Evelynn rushing from her room to the door.

"I have something to do, bye!" she says and darts out of the door. Great, I'm spending today alone, which to be completely honest, I don't mind. I like my own company.

I make some tea and relax under the cool air conditioner while reading a book. It's the newest addition to my bookshelf that only consists of romance books, you know we read about what we dream about. Isn't that some sort of a saying?

After around an hour of intense reading I hear a knock on my door. Maybe Evelynn is back from wherever she was in such a rush to get to? I get up from the sofa, only wearing my pink silk pyjama shorts and a grey sweatshirt with a little Ferrari logo in the front. It's one of my favourites and Mason got it for me last Christmas, so of course I had to pack it with me. I walk to the door and open it  only to find Pedri leaning against the doorway.

"Por el amor de dios, what do you want now?" I snarl at him.

Pedri's eyes roam over my body as he takes in my messy hair, glasses and my outfit. "Can I come in? Por favor it's urgent," he says begging with his big brown eyes. He's wearing grey sweatpants with Spain's logo and a plain white t-shirt. His hair is ruffled and it looks like he's been running his hands through them multiple times. I'm trying to focus on anything but the sweatpants, but it's not really working.

At that same moment Mason's door, which is located right in front of mine, starts to open and I have no choice but to pull Pedri into my room. I don't want Mason to start asking any more questions about me and this Spanish guy.

As I grab Pedri's elbow to pull him into my room. I swear I feel a spark between us. At this point I don't think there's any point of denying the tension and chemistry in between us. It's too bad that we don't like each other, otherwise we'd make a great couple.

As I'm trying to close the door behind him, he switches our positions and pushes me against the door. Before I have a chance to say anything he puts both of his hands on the sides of my head and moves his lips dangerously close to mine.

"What are you doing to me, chiqui? You are so annoying and clingy, and you definitely have some anger issues that you should work on," he whispers and looks into my eyes.

"Yet I can't get you out of my head. It's like you're a fucking parasite that has invaded my thoughts and actions. Do you think I can play well if you're in my head screaming and annoying me? ¿Crees que es justo?" He sounds like he's in actual physical pain.

My brain is having a hard time keeping up with this situation. But as I've realised before, there's definitely something between us. Our chemistry and pull are undeniable.

I look at him wide eyed and I can't get anything out of my mouth. Pedri just stares at my eyes, until moving his sight to my lips. That's the moment when I realise that I'm screwed, quite literally.
