'Guess who called me last night.' Pedri said as we were seating on my couch.
'Who?' I asked curious.
'Neymar Jr.'
'What?' I turned my head towards him confused.
'Yep.' he nodded his head. 'He called to apologise.'
'He did?' I asked surprised.
'Yeah.' he smiled.
I internally smile. To being grown ups.
'And how did that go?' I ask.
'It actually went pretty well. He was like super nice and respectful about it.'
'That's good.' I nodded my head.
'Does that mean we're all going to be a big happy family now?' he laughed. 'I already have to deal with Luca and Kylian.'
'First of all, I'll make sure they never find out you said that.' I smiled. 'Secondly...' I leaned in, placing a kiss on his lips. 'I like it when it's just the two of us.' I said quietly. 'So you don't have to worry about us being a big happy family.' I said mockingly.

'So...how are things between you and Pedri?' Sira asks, holding a strawberry mojito in her hand.
It's been 2 weeks since me and Pedri made it official on instagram that we are something. In those two weeks I really started getting even closer to Ela, Gavi's childhood friend and the girl he has a crush on, and Sira, Ferran's girlfriend.
We were now spending the beautiful and sunny day on the beach, enjoying eachother's company.
'Things between me and Pedri are amazing.' I smiled. 'We're just not official, I guess...' I shrug my shoulders.
'So what the hell are you then?' Ela asked, her eyebrows frowned.
'Something?' I said hesitantly, taking a sip from my drink.
'Okay, okay.' Sira said taking a deep breath. 'But what happens if other people show interest in any of you?'
'Like romantically?' I ask.
'No.' Ela says sarcastically, rolling her eyes and making me laugh.
'Thank you.' Sira smiles. 'I get that you can just tell them straight up that you're not interested, and I mean you kinda did put yourselves out there for the world...' she adds. 'But what happens when jealousy is going to show up in the picture? Because it will.'
'Now that's tough.' Ela scrunches her nose. 'Trust me, I would know.' she adds, giving us a little hint about how she really feels towards Gavi.
'Enough with my issues.' I smile. 'What's up with you and Gavi?' I look at Ela.
She lets out a sigh and takes a sip of her drink. 'After the game against Atletico, a fan... a female fan, came up to him and handed him a piece of paper.' she frowned her eyebrows. 'Which I assume had her number written on it.'
'Girls do that all the time.' I shrugged my shoulders. 'Trust me... I've seen it with Kylian, with Neymar and even with Pedri.'
'Yeah, but lately he's been on his phone constantly. Oh my God, what should I do?!' she half yells, throwing her arms in the air.
'Maybe you should tell him how you really feel.' Sira shrugged her shoulders, as Ela's eyes search for mine.
'You know I love you...' I grab Ela's shoulder. 'But I agree with Sira here. You got to tell him before it's too late.' I smiled. 'Plus, what do you have to lose?'
'My dignity!' Ela said, making us laugh.
She sounds exactly like me. That's why me and her get along so well.

After spending a few hours at the beach, we decided to finally go grab something to eat.
'What should we eat...' Sira says more to herself than to us.
She stops in front of a restaurant that serves italian food. I agreed with the choice as I was really craving some shrimp pasta and anyways, we were too tired to be searching for a further restaurant due to the heat.
'Tiene asientos disponibles junto a las ventanas?' (Do you have any available seats by the windows?) Sira asks the lady at the entrance.
The hostess nodded her head with a smile, leading us to our table. While we were making our way, Sira abruptly turns around to face me, almost making me run into her.
'What the hell?' I asked confused.
She didn't say anything, just stared at me with a blank expression, her eyes wide in shock like she just saw a ghost.
'What's wrong?' I ask a bit worried now.
As she is still not saying anything, I slowly move my head to the side, trying to see the cause of Sira's sudden change in attitude.
No...
A few tables behind Sira, Pedri and Gavi are sitting with two girls. My stomach started doing flips, confused with what the hell they were so busy giggling about to not acknowledge our entrance. Deciding not to say anything and to not cause a scene, I slowly tried to retrace my steps away from that direction. I turn around hoping that Ela hasn't seen them after we literally convinced her that she should tell Gavi how she feels, but my face instantly drops as soon as I see Ela's face.
'Hey.' I said putting my hands on her arms. 'Let's not jump to any weird conclusions, okay?' I smiled. 'Maybe they're just another group of friends we didn't know about? Some cousins?' I shrugged my shoulders, trying to convince myself more than Ela that this isn't anything like how it looks.
'No.' Ela says sternly. 'That's the girl that gave him the piece of paper.' she whispers. 'And that's probably her thirsty ass friend who's trying to get a piece of Pedri.'
You gotta be fricking kidding me.
'Change of plans girls!' Sira says as she's grabbing us out the restaurant.
