We touch down in Italy.

The weather here was really warm, and the hotel was beautiful.
Carmen and I got our room key from the front desk. We were staying in the same room.
We were staying here for a few weeks, so we decided to unpack our suitcases.

After we finished, we decided to go out for dinner.
Once we got back, it was late, and we decided to go to sleep. We changed into our pajamas and got ourselves tucked in. We were both just wearing a singlet and shorts to bed.
"Goodnight love". Carmen said.
"Goodnight bestie". I said, putting my sleep mask on.
She turned off the lamp.

I had fallen asleep for around an hour when I suddenly woke up.

There were loud noises coming from the walls next door. It sounded like laughing and talking.
"What is that?" Carmen woke up, her voice all sleepy.
"I think it's coming from next door", I said, half awake, taking my eye mask off.
"Oh my god, I can't sleep like this" Carmen rubbed her eyes.
"Hey!" I yelled loudly, banging the wall above my head. "Shut up".
"Y/N!" Carmen gasped. "You don't know whose next door, it could be some bodybuilder or an old lady and you just told them to shut up."
"I don't care Carms. It's literally 1 in the morning." I said, getting out of my bed.
"What are you doing?" Carmen looked nervous.
"Putting an end to this," I said. I was tired, but I would be even more tired if I didn't do anything and lost sleep. And plus, I wasn't afraid of anyone. We had training early tomorrow and needed to be well rested. I was ready to fight whoever was this noisy at this time of the night.
"I'll come", Carmen said, rubbing her eyes, pulling her blanket off.

We stood in the hallway, and I began banging on the door of these loud 'next-door neighbors.' Carmen stood nervously next to me, arms crossed, anticipating some angry person would open it and beat us.

A few seconds later, the door swung open.

No fucking way.

Pedri and Gavi... stood at their door.

Or should I say, both a shirtless Gavi and Pedri.

Carmen and I stood there, not expecting this.
We did not anticipate they would be the annoyingly noisy people in the room next to ours.

No one knew what to say, this was completely unexpected.
The guys were staring at us, probably because they had never seen us in just a singlet and shorts, and Carmen and I had never seen them in anything except for just their boxers.

"Oh.... Hey...." Gavi said with an awkward smile after a few seconds, breaking the silence". He looked at Carmen, and she was looking at him.
I noticed I caught Pedri's attention, and he most certainly caught mine. He was only wearing his boxers.
I decided to break the stare between my once former rival and me.
"Hey" I replied back, looking at Gavi.
"Wait..." Gavi said, slowly realizing. "Are you two next door to us".
"Yes," I nodded. "And my dear sweet Pablito," I grabbed his cheeks and gave them a small squeeze. I could joke around like this with Gavi, but with Pedri... I couldn't.
Gavi and I had a friendship, but I don't know what to call Pedri and I? Acquaintances maybe?
I continued, still squeezing his cheeks and he was laughing. "You guys are being really loud. We all have an early start tomorrow".
"I'm sorry," Gavi said sincerely. "Both of you."
He looked back and forth at Carmen and me.
Pedri still didn't say anything.
"We didn't realise how loud we were being. We were watching tv and talking, and we lost track of the time". Gavi said.
Pedri laughed at that.

"It's ok," Carmen said, nervously looking at Gavi.
Gavi smiled at her.

I could feel someone's eyes on me.
Pedri. I looked at him.

We hadn't acknowledged each other since on the plane. When he held my hand.
I felt my heart beat fast like it did this morning.
Why was I feeling like this?
We were still looking at each other, when Carmen said, "Well we better get some rest".
I looked away from him.

We said goodnight, and Carmen and I went back into our room.
There was no noise coming from their room after that.

That night, I lay in bed, thinking.
Why all of a sudden was this happening to me?
My heartbeat quickened when I had an interaction with him, and it was weird....
I don't like him in that way.
I think I'm just confused.

Surely I don't have any feelings for "the"  Pedro Gonzalez Lopez...
