Golden Boy- Pedri

CH 27- Define the word 'like'

CONTINUATION OF PEDRIS POV!!!

Suddenly, the door swung open.
"I'm back!" Carmen chirped. "And with food, Y/N I got your favourite-"

She stopped once she saw me.
"Oh hello Pedri", she smiled. "I didn't expect you here."
"Hey Carms", I laughed.
"He was just dropping off your claw clip that you left behind from the other night," Y/N said.
"Thanks." Carmen gave me a thumbs-up. "Listen I got some food for Y/N and myself, and you're welcome to sta-"
"It's okay, I had dinner not too long ago. You guys enjoy." I assured them.
"Well then take this" Carmen threw a packet of crisps at me. "I picked up some extra snacks."
I laughed. "Thanks".
I looked at Y/N. "You're okay now?"
"I am." Her genuine smile was back. "Thanks, Pedri."
I nodded. "See you."

Carmen walked me to the door, as Y/N went to the bathroom.

"Thanks, Pedri. For whatever you said. You brought her smile back."
I let out a small laugh. "Nah. I just reminded her of something she once told me."
Carmen looked at me, suspiciously. She squinted her eyes, and a sheepish smile emerged on her face.

"Pedri..." She said slowly.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Do you..." She stopped.
"Do I what?" I frowned.
"Do you.... like Y/N...?"
"What do you mean? Of course, I like her. We've become friends, after our rough start and she's really nice-"
"No no." Carmen cut me off, raising her eyebrow. "You know exactly what I mean. But let me ask you again. Do you have feelings for Y/N?"

"Hey now, Listen here Miss Gavira...." I said, deflecting from her question.

I didn't want to answer what she had just asked me, not until I was completely sure of my own feelings, so I had to change the subject.

Her cheeks turned pink and she let out a nervous laugh. "What?"
"I see the way you look at him. You can't fool me." I winked.
Her face went even more red.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything". I winked. "Goodnight Carmen."
"Bye", she let out a small laugh, closing the door behind me.

The truth was, I couldn't answer her question because I wasn't sure.
After the situation with my ex, I swore to myself that I wouldn't get caught up with any girl. I didn't have time for feelings, and I wanted to focus on my football career only.

But Y/N came along.... and I could feel something inside me changing.
