Sky and I came to visit Pedri's parents. Sky turns 3 today and he really wanted to see his grandparents.
" Hi, Lily." Pedri's mom Maria said hello and then his dad Fernando said hello.
" And someone's grown up." Maria held out her arms and Sky ran into her arms.
"Happy birthday, boy." Fernando patted him on the shoulder.
" We have presents for you." Maria said to Sky.
" Maria. How many times have I told you that you don't have to buy anything." Maria obviously ignored me and went into the living room with Sky.
" So... How's the singing going?" Fernando asked me.
"Very good. I got an offer to sing at the opening of the Super Copa finale." I said.
" That's in a month and a bit." Fernando said.
"I know, but I'm still looking forward to it." We both went into the living room to Maria and Skye. He had about seven presents.
"Wow." I said. I sat down on the sofa and watched Sky open the presents. He had a soccer ball, socks. A jersey and a Pedri's jersey too and now he had one last little present in his hand. He unwrapped it.
" Mom, what is this?" he asked, handing me two tickets.
I read what it was and then looked at Maria and Fernando and they just nodded their heads.
" These are VIP tickets to the World Cup in Qatar." I replied.
"Like for football?" he asked again.
" Yes, Sky. For football." Sky hugged his grandparents, and so did I.
"Thank you. Seriously." I said.
"What do you know. Maybe you'll sing at the championship." Fernando said, and I smiled.
" You better like it there." Maria said. I took Skye in my arms and we all hugged.
3 days later
"Come on mom or we'll be late." Sky said and I smiled.
"I'm coming." I grabbed my backpack with drinks and some snacks and together with Sky I headed to the World Cup opening.
We walked to the stadium for about 10 minutes. When we got there, people started noticing us. They wanted me to take pictures and sign autographs. But the security guards outside the stadium wouldn't let them.
"Which way now?" Sky asked me once we were inside.
" Maybe this way." I walked around the corner and bumped into an Asian guy.
"Sorry." He said to me. I looked at him and smiled.
" No need to apologize Jung." I said and he looked at me immediately.
"Lily?" He asked and hugged me.
" It's good to see you too." We let go and Jung looked at Sky.
" Is it?"
" Yeah. Jung this is my son Sky. Sky this is my good friend Jungkook." I introduced them. Jungkook knelt down in front of Skye and held out his hand to him. Sky shook it.
" Nice to meet you Skye." Jung said.
" Me too." replied Sky. Jung stood up again and looked at me.
" Would you like to sing Dreamers with me in an hour? You know the lyrics and you participated in the song." He tried to convince me, and he succeeded.
"Okay," I said.
" Yeah. Here are the lyrics. I've marked what you're going to sing." He said, and I nodded. "In an hour." He added and left.
" Come on, Mom." Sky took my hand and we walked to our VIP seats.
"Sky darling, I can't leave you here alone when I'm getting off." I told him but he looked away.
" Isn't that Uncle Frenkie?" he asked me. I looked in the same direction and it really was Frenkie.
"Frenkie?" I asked the blond guy standing not far from us.
"Lily what are you doing here?" He asked me.
"We're here to support his dad." I replied and Frenkie nodded in understanding. I looked at the time and saw that I was getting off Jung in 10 minutes.
"Uhm Frenkie can you do me a favor?" I asked him.
" Anything. You know you can."
" Could you babysit Sky for half an hour?" I asked him.
"Yeah, sure." He said and I gave him a thank you kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks, I owe you one." I said and looked at Skye. " See you later little man."
We gave a fist bump and I ran down the hallway after Jungkook and finally found him after three minutes.
"Hey there's your microphone." He handed it to me and I nodded in thanks. I took a quick look at the lyrics and the very first verse I sing.
The music had already started playing and I walked out onto the field.
"Look who we are. We are the Dreamers. We make it happen. Cause we believe it."
I
sang alone and then Jung joined me.
After four minutes, we finally finished singing. There was a huge applause. I hugged Jung and then I walked off the stage. We waved to people as we walked and then we were in the hallway.
"You were amazing." He said to me.
" Yeah. So were you. Hey, I gotta go see Skye. Text me when you get a chance." I said, giving him one last hug.
"Bye." He said and I ran away. I went back to our VIP seats where Frenkie was.
"You were amazing." he said to me.
"Thank you. And thank you for babysitting Sky." We both laughed. We waited for the clean up and then the Saudi Arabia vs Qatar game started.
We sat next to Frenkie and the three of us watched the game.
"How's it going with Pedri?" Frenkie whispered so Sky couldn't hear.
" He doesn't know anything." I replied.
" You can't keep lying to him. You have to tell him once. He's Sky's father."
"What are you two talking about?" Sky said.
" It's just me and Uncle Frenkie here discussing grown-up stuffs." I calmed him down and Sky started to focus on the game again.
I wanted to say something to Frenkie but Sky interrupted us.
"Can we go to the beach tomorrow?" he asked me.
"Whatever you want, Skye." I replied and Frenkie smiled.
" You should tell him. You would make a beautiful family Lils."
