Enchanted ; Pablo Gavi

13. AVA

Today I woke up sooner than I anticipated, and it was all thanks to my favourite brother who apparently forgot my weekend sleeping schedule. It all started with him rambling about Pique's last game, and for a second I thought he was gonna start crying. I thanked whatever was above us because I was in no mood for an emotional Pedri.

He also handed me an envelope with two tickets for today's game, he even pointed out the second one was for Nicco. This also surprised me but he was overcoming his overreacting era, and being kind of friendly with him.

I sent Nicco a text, letting him know about the tickets and Pedri apologised for waking me up, by making me breakfast.

"Fernando is better at this," I mumbled and Pedri looked at me, raising his eyebrows.

"At what? Cooking? No, he absolutely isn't, mom is the best," I would call this Pedri being mommy's princess.

"Are you on drugs? Of course, Fernando is better at cooking,"

"Then why are you still eating?"

"It's called being nice,"

"That's it, I've had enough of you for now," he said and made his way to the door, "I'll see you after the game."

After I was done with my breakfast I put it all aside on my nightstand, Pedri threw a blanket over me, cluttered dirty dishes into his arms, and left the room. Time for a so-called power nap.

My power nap was cut short as my phone started ringing, it was Dolores.

"What?" I didn't intend on my voice dripping with annoyance but that was all thanks to my least favourite brother.

"Who pissed you off so early?" Dolores laughed on the other line, and my eyes automatically rolled back into my head. So much for sleeping, and then later getting ready for the match. Was this too much to ask? Am I that greedy? Probably not, all I've asked for is some peace and quiet, both nonexistent in my case.

"Ah, you know just my least favourite brother," I started, "Surprised me with breakfast and tickets to the match today, then he dared to say he is better at cooking than Fernando. He has a degree for it and he doesn't, what if he tried to poison me?"

"I indeed, did not ask for the whole back story. Just wanted to check on you as we will be seeing each other after the match, are you bringing Nicco?"

"Of course,"

"So when are you making it official?" The question I was dreading, I had no idea if we were even going to be official or is it just a little phase. Yet my heart skips a beat when I think about him, Dolores calls that arrhythmia. Rule number one for the next life, avoid medical professionals.

"We have not discussed it, yet,"

"I'm sure you will, maybe he'll ask you today?" The optimism in her voice could be heard to Mars and back, a hopeless romantic, dare I say.

"Are you on drugs too?"

"Forth year being clean. Although your soon to be nervous breakdowns and Sonia sure make me wanna do them again."

"Dolores Maite González we don't joke about drug abuse,"

"Sure we do,"

"Yes and you have to prepare for today, so bye-bye," I hung up the call in hopes of getting more sleep and lighting my mood.

Power nap hit so hard I felt as if I transferred to another dimension if it was even possible. The joy of going to the match was an obvious choice, black jeans and my Pedri jersey to support my favourite brother.

Rerun of Gossip Girl was playing on the TV as a background noise, phone in my hand, a can of Red Bull in another, and checking the time every minute. Nicco should be here soon and my heart was definitely doing some kind of rotations, at some point, I could feel my heartbeat in my ears. Dolores already clarified that I was just nervous, which irritated me to some extent as I was trying to calm down.

Nicco soon appeared in the driveway, quickly I patted my sweaty palms on the jeans to avoid the moist feeling in them. The walk from the front door to his car surely felt eternal, my heart beating faster the closer I was. This silly behaviour seriously had to stop soon.

"Hey," I said slipping into the passenger seat, his hair was done nicely and not just splattering around in a freestyle way. He cupped my cheek and pulled me closer for a quick kiss, I could feel myself melting away.

"Hey," he smiled at me and started driving.

We arrived at Camp Not, the process went smoothly and soon we were in our seats. The feeling these matches gave me was unexplained as if my body felt at peace, my heart rate slowing down, the cheers coming from fans around us, it felt just like home with a rather large and great family.

The match was intense, Pique saying goodbye was quite sad, but worse was seeing his teammates' reactions. It wasn't every day someone who made a really big impact says goodbye.

I could see Predri slipping a few tears, and Dolores was just standing there with a stoic expression on her face. Some would say she looks like she could kill someone with her eyes, the possibility of that being very high, and her resting bitch face made that even worse. The idiot probably forgot they were recording that or else she would definitely be crying.

"Did you like it?" I looked up at Nicco, who was already looking at me.

"The best way to spend a few hours. Especially with the girl you like," warmth crept from my neck to my face, great blushing from normal sentences? Someone should check me into a hospital this was way out of control.

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?" The words slipped from his mind, and thank whatever was above us we were still sitting otherwise my face would be meeting the floor very soon.

"Are you sincere or do you just want to go to more matches for free?"

"I'd say the free matches are quite a bonus,"

"Yes," his lips crashed onto mine, and at that moment everything else was forgotten. It was just me and Nicco having our small moment.
