brother's best friend | Pedri González

08 | Flashes

- ELLINIA -

I wake up at around 1PM because I finally let myself sleep in, but sleep in is a bit of an understatement.

I let myself scroll on TikTok for a bit, and I find myself in a few football edits. 

Few, who are you kidding Elli? 

A lot. 

Ok, a lot. Happy now?

Mostly Neymar JR. , Jude Bellingham, and

Pedri. 

Yes. 

Don't tell me you don't favorite them. I know you do too. 

We are all girls okay? And it's..well....Neymar JR., Jude Bellingham, and Pedri. 

Don't blame me. 

If he asks me if I even KNOW about the edits, I'm done for.

I wonder if he knows about the edits, I'll have to show him when I see him. 

Speaking of meeting him. 

God those dreadful brown eyes, the same ones that look at me with so many emotions at once, that make me feel so many emotions at once. 

We are still meeting up later, which I'm confused. 

I'm confused about my feelings for him, for us. 

I don't know we are good or bad for each other, or too good for each other. 

This is intoxicating. He's intoxicatingly everywhere I don't want him to be. 

My house. My work. My dinners. My hangouts. My family birthday parties. 

I know there was no way of getting rid of that. 

You would have to get rid of Pab first. 

He's Pedri you know, Pedri who's my brother's best friend.

He's changed. 

For the better. 

I hope. 

I finally get out of bed to be somewhat productive. 

I shake my head to try and clear my thoughts before I have to see him. 

~ 3 Hours Later ~ 

It's now 4:00 PM and it's almost time to get ready.

We both said we would meet up at 5 at this bar restaurant.

I clean my room for a bit and sit down at my vanity to start getting ready. 

I did a simple makeup look, and put on a black long bodycon dress. 

Just to shake his knees a bit. 

I look at the time and it's already 4:45, I head out the door and say a prayer. 

I get there a little bit late, but it's ok Pedri's due for a good surprise. 

When I walk into the bar, I see Pedri playing with the straw of his drink, looking bored as hell. 

Well do not fear Pedri, arguing queen is here. 

I cough and kick his leg, letting him know I'm here. 

"What the hell, who are-" 

He looks up and finally realizes it's me. 

"Oh Lina, I didn't think you were coming. I was about to leave."
