never fall for brown eyes // Pedri

chapter 45

We end up having a date on the rooftop of the hotel. He has definitely organised this, since no one else is there and usually this place is packed with players and other people.

He leads me to a small table that's set for two in the middle of the rooftop's garden. The view over the city is stunning and the sun is about to set, so the sky looks just like a painting. Before I have the chance to sit down, Pedri pulls my chair for me like a true gentleman he is, or at least pretends to be.

"So every time we hang out we're eating. Is this like a thing of ours or..?" I laugh at the coincidence. It just feels like that's all we do when we're together, eat, make out and talk. I mean I'm not complaining, but is this what people usually do? I wouldn't know, since all my past relationships have been disasters.

"Well no, but I thought that this at least would be more private than going somewhere in public," He explains and sits down. Now the view is complete. A deep orange sky with a setting sun, stunning skyline and breathtakingly beautiful brown eyed boy in front of me, looking at me as if I'm the beautiful one in here.

A waiter comes to our table and brings some local delights and salads with him. We order lemon water as drinks and after bringing those we're left alone once again. We eat our food while talking about our lives. He tells me how he fell in love with football as a child and how his dreams came true when he got into Barca and the national team. He talks about his family and love for football in such a way that makes me tear up a bit. I admire people who are pursuing their passions but still find time for their family.

I, on the other hand, tell him about what it was like to grow up in London and how I dream of travelling and exploring new places. It's all very casual and light, which is a nice contrast to all the drama we've had.

After eating we walk to a sofa that is situated right on the edge of the rooftop. Pedri pulls out a blanket and wraps us in it. We sit and look at the sunset that's almost over.

"Did I ever mention to you how much I love sunsets and sunrises?" I ask him without taking my eyes away from the breathtaking view.

"No, I don't think you did. Why do you love them so much?" He asks and turns his attention to me. His arms are around me and my head is laying on his chest. It feel safe and comfortable and his body heat keeps me warm.

"Sunsets are a reminder how every day will turn into a night eventually. How we must make every moment count. Sunrises on the other hand are a constant reminder that no matter what happens, the sun will rise again and something new will begin." I explain to him still with my head turned to the skyline. When I finally lift my eyes to meet his, I see him staring at me with a tearful look.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I-" I start but he silences me with a kiss. I gasp as a tear escapes from his eye and falls into my cheek.

"God you're beautiful, inside and out," He whispers in between our kisses. And if that isn't enough to break down my barriers, I don't know what is. He pushes my back flat on the sofa and lays over me without putting too much weight on top of me.

"We can't start a make out session on a rooftop, anyone could walk in at any time," I try to tell him in between our heated kisses. Pedri just groans but doesn't make a move to stop. "Pedri, I'm being serious," I tell him and laugh. I can feel him smiling against my skin.

When he finally looks up to me his eyes are sparkling and his smile takes my breath away. "Then I guess we have to move this into our room. Yours or mine?" He asks and starts pulling me up from the sofa.

Before I have a chance to reply, he lifts me up on his shoulder and starts carrying me towards the door to the elevator. "Pedri put me down, por favor! I'm not a child," I laugh and scream as he just continues making his way to his room. I pound my fists on his back but he continues to be unbothered by my efforts.

We both just laugh the whole way to his room and luckily we don't run into anyone. What a sight we would make.
