Does He Know?

Chapter 13

Sara's POV

"To understand what you've done to me."

I sat on my bed, the light of the moon sneaking in and lighting it dimly. The silence was overwhelming, much different from hours earlier when our house was filled with people chatting and having fun. I sat there for the first time alone with my own thoughts, taking in what Pedri had said during our short encounter.

I looked down at my feet and felt a sudden urge to cry travel through my body. In a way it felt as if whatever Pedri and I were meat to have in reality was not meant for us. At first, his pride or maybe his fear of being hurt, then it was Gavi keeping us apart. And now again it seemed as if it was him.

A ding coming from my phone took me out of my own thoughts. I rolled my eyes as I reached for my phone knowing it was Vale messaging me about the fight she had with her boyfriend earlier. As much as I wanted to ignore it I decided to respond tonight rather than wake up tomorrow to an inbox flooded with her messages. 

But when I put my phone up to unlock it, I realized it wasn't Vale.

Pedri: Cuando te besé, that can be our song.

Cuando te besé sentí que toqué el cielo y no me equivoqué porque lo haría de nuevo. Quiza, tal vez, nací para amarte, quiero volver a besarte. When I kissed you I felt as if I touched the sky and I wasn't wrong because I would do it again. Maybe I was born to love you, I want to kiss you again.

I smiled stupidly at my phone screen while the song played in my mind. Another message came in from him.

Pedri: It's better than nemesis, its not about losing someone, it's about realizing someone was meant for you.

I bit my bottom lip and smiled quickly responding. Te quiero Pedri, buenos noches.

A few weeks later...

A few weeks had passed since the dinner at my house. I had seen Pedri in passing at practice and we had exchanged a few messages here and there. I had taken my mom's words to heart and knew I couldn't push him to offer me more than he was ready for.

We were on our way to Camp Nou for a home match when Cuando te besé came on. I smiled and was startled when my little brother David smacked my face. -Joder, David what did you do that for?- He laughed. -You had a dumb look on your face, who were you day dreaming about?- My mom yelled from the front of the car to stop arguing.

Once at the stadium David asked me to take him to the restroom while my mom went around mingling with friends. We rushed down through the tunnels and as we were rushing back out David bumped into Pedri. Pedri took him into his arms. I smiled at Pedri and quickly looked down at my feet while David and him talked.

-Bueno, ya vamos David. The match is about to start.- I told David who said his goodbyes to Pedri and began to walk towards the tunnel exit. Pedri pulled my hand towards him, preventing me from taking the same path my brother had. I directed my gaze towards his soft and warm hand, which was now intertwined with mine.

-Que pasa, Pedri?- I asked as he stared at me and offered a smile. -You look beautiful today.- His eyes on mine waiting for me to say something. I chuckled and shook my head. -Pero vamos, I'm wearing the same shirt as perhaps 80 percent of Camp Nou.-

He laughed and felt his heart begin to beat faster. - You know that's not what I mean, Sara.-

Before I could say anything else I heard David yell at me from the end of the tunnel. He was eager to get out and take our seats before the match started. Seconds later another shout, this time from Ferran served as a warning that it was time for Pedri to go join the team.
