Does He Know?

Chapter 7

Pedri's POV

I heard her saying my name. I made a double take to make sure that it was my phone that I had been picked up and not Gavi's.

-Sara.- I whispered into the phone quickly grabbing the phone and pulling it onto my chest as I heard the bathroom door open and out walked Gavi.

Don't say anything, don't say anything. I thought to myself hoping Sara wouldn't start talking and Gavi would hear her. I shouldn't have, I was doing nothing wrong. She had called me.

-Who is it?- Asked Gavi walking closer to me.

I tried to think quick on my feet but I've never been good at that. -My mom.- I blurted out as I made my way to the door. -Let me say hi to her.- Gavi said walking towards me.

-She doesn't sound well, let me go talk to her in my room. I'll let you know.- I turned around and opened his bedroom door getting out of there as quickly as possible.

I put the phone to my ear. -Did you hear all of that?- I asked Sara.

-I didn't know he was with you.- She said.

I walked a little further down the hallway and open the door to my bedroom.

-He's always with me. Unless he's with you.- I said as I laid down on my bed, looking at the phone.

-What's going on, Sara?- I asked her once I realized this was the firs time she had called me.

-I went out with Val today, she was mad at Marcos. We went to a club.-

I sat there in silence not knowing where the conversation was going.

-Then our song came on.-

-Our song?- I asked as I felt a knot in my stomach.

-Nemesis.- She stated.

I remembered the night I drove her home after Val's birthday. Her sitting next to me, the white dress she was wearing riding up her thighs as she sang at the top of her lungs to Quevedo. I smiled because I knew in that moment that I was a goner. I knew that in the few hours I had known her she had settled herself in my heart without any protection. I bit my lip as I stared at her thighs. Thoughts going through my mind that shouldn't have. To this day hoping I would have taken her home that night.

-I don't like that song.- I said.

-Why?-

-Because its about someone he lost. Our song should be a better one.- I said the last part not truly thinking. I knew better but I didn't want to do better. I wanted to let my feelings take over my actions. I wanted Sara, I was finally accepting that I wanted her, no ... I needed her.

Sara's POV

-Our song should be a better one.- Pedri said on the other end of the call. I smiled. He said "our."

-Well, what should our song be then?- I asked with a smile on my face. I could hear as Pedri let out a small chuckle, I knew he was smiling into the phone even though I couldn't see him.

-Sara, are you drunk?- He asked evading to answer my question.

-I just had a few drinks.- I admitted.

-Why didn't you call Pablo?-

I stayed silent. I didn't have an answer. I heard as Pedri laughed.

-Do you mind that I called?- I finally said.

-No. You can drunk call me whenever you want. Let the alcohol tell me all the things you won't say sober.-

Silence.
