Anti-romantics|| Pedri

11|bestboyfriendever

I wake up with the worst headache I've ever had in my entire life.
What the living hell have I just dreamt about?
Pedro? With me on a honeymoon? I must have taken drugs before I was going to bed.
In all romance novels, this would be a cute scene where the main character would suddenly realize that her love, her unconditional love, for the other main character goes deeper than she could have ever imagined.
But that is not what this whole situation is about. I must have confused my mind with all the fake dating stuff. I mean I'm an actress. I put so much effort into acting like my role, that I AM the character that I play.
But this isn't a movie. This is real fricking life and my mind needs to chill the fuck out because that can't be happening. I mean what happens next? I fall in love with Pedro Gonzalez Lopez? No. Never in my life.
I feel the urge to throw up at that thought. Real actual vomit.

I go to the shower to wash my hair and so many thoughts about the game that is today rush into my mind.
No Leah, chill out. Everything will be alright okay?
I run my hand through my hair as I lather it.

Pablo will be here every Moment and my belly hurts like it never did before. Why am I even doing that to myself? I could have donated money to the organization without taking part in this game.

Not long after that, he shows up at my house. I lock the door and sprint to his car.
"Slow down princess. There's no need for you to be in such a hurry. We still have plenty of time." He says as I put my seat belt on.
Princess?
"You know how nervous I am about this."

"There's no need for you to worry everything will be alright."

When we are about to arrive at the beautiful Spotify camp nou stadium many fans come running to Pablo's car.

He rolls down the window to take photos with his fans.
But not only at his window but also on mine are fans literally piling up because they wanna take a picture with me. The Spanish fans a crazy.

"Leah, are you and Gavi a couple?" A fan in a Barcelona jersey with the number 8 is asking me.

I shot a look at Pablo who is looking down with a smirk.

"No, we are just friends," I say when I turn back to the fan.

We finished taking pictures with the fans but Pablo doesn't seem happy before. His facial impression is like I've never seen on him before.

"Hey what's wrong? Are you suddenly nervous because of the match?" I ask him mockingly.

"No everything's alright." He tells me with a forced smile.
Sometimes I don't understand this guy.

"He girl, how are you?" My manager Kelsy pulls me into m a hug.

"I'm nervous as fuck."

"No L, you got this. But you know we got work to do. You need to be at your first pre-match interview in a minute." She tells me with a laughing tone "make sure you don't come late. They are going live in 45 seconds."

"What? Why couldn't you tell me that before?"

I turn up just in time.

"Sorry for being so late," I tell the nice-looking lady with green glasses on.

"Oh, no problem sweetheart. We are going live in:

"Hello and welcome to the first ever charity match of 'doitforthepeople' which is being held in the camp nou of fc Barcelona. The stadium is fully booked out which makes this match the most ever attended charity match ever. Many celebrities take part here today. One of them we have here with us right now. Many people may know her from several movies and shows like Outerbanks, euphoria, or interstellar. Or maybe you know her as the face of dior. Let us greet Leah Montgomery!"

The camera swings to me now.
I wave to the lens: "Hey guys"
I put the biggest smile on that I have.

"So, Leah. Thank you for taking this interview with us today. Our first question is have you ever done anything related to football?"

"Well first of all it's my pleasure and yes. When I was a child I loved playing and watching football with my father. We almost went to every football match together of my hometown football club when we still lived in Germany."

I smile at that memory. I miss doing that with my father. I miss having a good relationship with my father. He was my hero but that changed.

"Oh, and what club was that?"

"Erzgebirge Aue."

"Ärzgesirge eue?"I laugh at her attempt to pronounce the club's name.

"So we found out that you moved to Spain at the age of 7. Why don't you tell us something about that?" She asks me as she pushes her glasses up her nose.

"Well, we moved to Madrid because my mom got a job offer. Here I attended the real Madrid academy where I used to play football. But then I injured myself really hard so I stopped. Then one day I went shopping in the Centro Comercial Príncipe Pío mall with a couple of friends. And during that time, there was an audition for the role of Mary in the movie gifted. And they went up to me and asked me if I were interested in participating and I agreed. Long story short: I got the role and that was the beginning of this beautiful journey."
I smile at the camera. I'm always so awkward when I'm taking interviews.
"What a cute story. And what about your friends are you still in contact with them? Oh, yes with two of them. Felix. Many people may know him from my Instagram stories and Klara. We both are still and contact and still text now and then but we haven't seen each other for a long time. So Klara if you are seeing this let us meet up soon."

I miss seeing her.

"How cute!" She says and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.
"You mentioned that you played for real Madrid in your teen years, do you still support the club?"

"Oh yes. It's safe to say that Real Madrid is my favorite club next to Aue."

"Well, that's interesting because rumors were going around about you and Pedri dating. That would be a wild combination. Real Madrid Fan and a Barcelona player."

And there it is. The question I feared the most. The relationship question.

I try to look shy and cute so it seems like I am thinking about my one true love.

"Uhm yes, it's true. Me and pedr-" I stop before I say, Pedro. It won't be convincing if I say Pedro." i are a couple."I tell as I look to my feet to seem kind of flattered.

"Aww that's so cute for how long? and weren't there any problems with you supporting the rival team?"

"Well yes at first it was kinda weird daring a football player I would hate on during the el classico but it all got normal. And to our luck, they weren't an el classico the two months we are dating." I say

"Two months. So it's still so fresh. Congrats!"
She isn't being so happy anymore. Am I not being convincing enough?
I need to do something.

"He is my comfort person. He's always there for me and I can come to him with every matter. He is the best boyfriend you can imagine."

Suddenly I lay my eyes on Pedro who is standing next to the camera out of nowhere. He is having a smirk on his lips because I just 'confessed how deep my love goes for him'.
