Mi Chica Dorada

Ch. 3

 This morning I had to drop off my brother with the national team and what are the odds that he forgot his jersey at home which he needs for the World Cup photoshoot. Being the amazing sister I am, I went to drop it off but of course he was nowhere to be found. I have been running around this studio like a chicken with their head cut off. Before I knew it I bumped into a hard figure.

"Disculpame no estab-Pedro?!" I say as I look up ("I'm sorry I wasn-Pedro?!").

"Buenos días Julieta." ("Good morning Julieta"). Pedri says with an awkward smile.

"I was looking for my brother, he forgot his jersey at home." I say as I look at my surroundings, God he makes it hard to not stare into those eyes.

"Uh no yeah of course, I can give it to him if you want." he offers.

"Maybe I can go give it to him, I have to ask something anyways" I attempted to move past Pedri but he grabbed my hand before I could go any farther.

"Wait! I wanted to talk to you for a bit."

"Aren't you busy taking pictures?"

"They're taking a break."

"What do you wanna talk about?" I ask as I move us to a private area.

"First of all I'm sorry for just leaving you like that. I don't know wha-"

"Pedri, it's fine. No te preocupes en serio." (Don't worry, seriously).

"I just want us to be good."

"We are as long as my brother doesn't find out." I started to get up from the chair because I didn't see this conversation going anywhere.

"Of course not, uh I'll bring him the jersey and ask him whatever it is you wanted to ask him." Pedri says as he retrieves the jersey from my hand.

"I can ask him another time."

"Please allow me, you seem like you're in a rush, got a date with Aron?"

"Who said that?"

"From your interview it seems like he's ready to have you back."

"No me jodas Pedro, Aron y yo solo somos amigos." ("Don't fu** with me Pedro, Aron and I are only friends.")

"Bueno, nos vemos Juli." ("Well, see ya Juli.")

This entire encounter was all types of weird. I couldn't believe that he spoke to me the way he did and accused me of going on a date with Aron. Aron and I ended it because he wanted to have a bachelor life in his 20's but really it was sugar code for "Hey I found someone else and we hooked up so it's best we break up." I only found out because Ester saw them leaving the club together holding hands a few days before we broke up. It was one of the hardest things I had to go through because I thought we'd live happily ever after. I had turned down a huge role in Dune because I couldn't get out of bed for the audition because I was so sad. It got so bad that Ferran and Siria (mostly Ferran) had to physically pick me up from bed because I didn't shower for a week and a half. I thank my brother and SIra for helping me get back to my true self. Pedri knew about the breakup so for him to make comments like that was inappropriate.

Ester <3:

Cari, guess who I saw

(Love, guess who I saw)

Did you finally meet Messi?

Wtf no

Do you forget I'm still in Spain...

Neymar?!

Again, wtf no

I don't wanna guess anymore, tell meeeee

Pedri...

NO WAY

Mf asked me if I was gonna go on a date with Aron

All I did was go drop off Fer's jersey

Ferran would forget, just ignore him, soon he'll begging to have you back

Plz no

Be honest, would you take him back?

Ester...

Julieta...

I don't know, maybe

So yes

I told you, no se. Ferran should know first

What do you think he'll say or do?

Probably get mad and then lecture me

Your brother is very protective of you, esp since Aron

I want to tell him but ughhh chica no se

I think you should do it now before it's too late
