His daughter // Pablo Gavi

Forty one

2022

"Did you now?" Isabel says in amusement at her boy.
Pablo sends her a toothy smile, as he nods happily.
"Yes, I wanted to surprise everyone"
Isabel giggles as she pulls out of the training facility parking lot.
"want to go see it!" He asks happily, looking at her with puppy eyes so she'll say yes.
"Sure, give me the address" she tells him, handing him her phone.
Pablo grins taking the phone out of the girls hand, quickly typing in his new address.
"you'll love it, it has a pool and a nice place to play football" he tells her pressing 'go' on the screen.
"I'm trusting you Golden Boy".

After a few minutes she pulls into a nice and big house drive way.
"Oh wow, Pablo" she says in shock.
Pablo couldn't control his smile.
"It's really nice, amor" she tells him, turning the car off and getting out.
Pablo follows her, digging for the keys in his pocket as he walks to the front door.
"Came with furniture, all I have to do is buy a bed and other basic stuff" he says opening it, leading her inside.

"Woah" Isabel's eyes widen at the nice house.
"Right?" Pablo laughs, pulling her along as they walk through the house.

"Let's go upstairs, then to the basement" he says walking up the stairs.
"I'm going to use this as my gaming room" he smiles point into a medium sized room, with a window that led to the front.
"These two as the guests room....and....this is my room" he says pushing open the door to a rather large bedroom.
Isabel walks through the room.
It was a balcony which faced his backyard and a nice view. He had a big bathroom with a shower and tub.
"You know the house down the street is on sale...he could be neighbors" he smiles goofily at the girl.
Isabel laughs and shakes her head. "I don't need a house this big"
Pablo frowns.
"I'll buy it" he winks.
Isabel shakes her head walking out of the restroom.
"I can afford a house Pablo..there's just no point in buying one. I don't even have a dog and my mom and the boys just moved to the states so there's no point in being alone in such a big house" she tells him honestly.
"I'm good in my apartment"

Pablo frowns at her and leads her down to the basement.
"I might do a movie room" he says opening the door to the biggest room she's seen.
"Taking about having too much money" she jokes.
Pablo gives her a small hip bump before showing her the garage.

They walking back to the front door. Pablo locking as they leave.
Isabel smiles up at him, wrapping her arms around his neck as he turns to her.
He places his hands on her hips, giving her a peck on the lips.
"This is a very nice house, Pablo. I'm proud of you" she says kissing his cheek.
Pablo staring down her her admirably with a small grin.
His grin falls and a serious look crosses his face.
"what?" Isabel ask quietly, reaching to hold his jaw in her hand, rubbing his cheek.
"Move in with me" He whispers.
Isabel places her hands on his shoulder as she pushes back slightly to look at him.
"what?" She asks again, making sure she heard right.
"Move in with me" he says in his normal tone. Trailing his hands from her hips to her waist.
Pablo regretted what he said after he saw the blank face the girl held.
maybe it was too soon?
They were young, only 18.
Pablo knew that she was the one, nobody could ever replace her.
What he felt with her was something he had never felt and he'd be stupid to ever let it go.
"never mind..it's fine forget it- I'll think about it" she cuts him off.
Pablo's jaw slightly drops, he nod's hold back a grin.
Isabel stands in front of him, messing with her bracelet.
"I still have 3 weeks of my lease and you have the World Cup coming up in 2 weeks...but I'll think of it" she tells him again.
Pablo nods, feeling a little embarrassed.
He takes her hand walking over to the car, opening her door for her before walking to the other side.

He turns up the music once she starts the car and he chuckle slightly at the song. Chantaje by Shakira.
Isabel hums to the song, tapping her finger on the wheel as she starts driving.

"Are you coming to Qatar?" Pablo asks.
Isabel glances at him for a second before turning on the street.
"I don't know...I talked to Xavi and he has things for me" she says.

"I'll talk to him" he tells her.
Isabel shakes her head. "I'm sure he'll let me go Pablo don't worry...all I've been doing is paperwork I'm sure he can just give that to me" she explains

Pablo reaches out and places his hand on her thigh.
"Hopefully you can, I really want you there"

"I want to be there" she says pulling into a Starbucks drive through.
"Strawberry refresher?" She tells him.
Pablo nods
Isabel orders Pablo's drink and herself a cold brew.
She pays and pick up their drinks before heading to her house.
The ride was rather quiet, the girl simply thinking while Pablo on the other hand sat worried as he sipped on his drink.
I think I overstepped
He's mine was running all over the place thinking he has messed up.
He had another excuse for him wanting her to move in but he didn't want her think he's childish.

Isabel glanced over at Pablo who seemed to be in deep thought before parking in her spot stopping the car.
Truth was she'd love to movie in with him but things were stopping her. She felt as if they were to young. Of course she loves him. She was head over heels for the boy next to her and would do anything in a heart beat for him but...what if they move in and everything falls apart? What if after some time he just stops loving her? She had so many what if running through her head that made It so hard for her to come up with an actual answer to tell him.

"Isabel?" Isabel turns her head to Pablo, realizing she had spaced out.
"Are you okay" he asks giving her a worried look.
Isabel nods. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine just spaced out for a sec" she assures.
Pablo nods hesitantly at her.
Isabel opens the door to get out but was stopped by the sounds of Pablo saying her name.
"Si?" She asks turn back around to him.
The boy rubs the back of his neck, looking down to hands.
"I'm sorry if I overstepped, I know we're young and I don't want to make you feel rushed. I'm sorry" he says fidgeting with his hands.
Isabel closes her door fully.
"No it's okay, it's just that...we're so young and there's so many what if that it's fogging up my ability to actually make a decision. I really would want to move in with you Pablo, I'd might actually be nice y'know..I'm so used to always having someone with me, I was literally rarely alone in my apartment, you or the boys were always there and without them here and my dad barely having the time to actually hang out with me. It'd be nice. but the what if's scare me" she rants. Pablo nods.
"You don't have to make a decision now okay? take all the time you need...1 day, 2 months damn even 1 year I don't care. I'm not leaving you and you just say the word that you're ready, and I'll be at your front door with boxes" Isabel laughs at the last part and she nods, her cheeks turning red.

Pablo reached over and playfully flicks her cheek.
"Let's go watch and movie and cuddle" he says opening his door.

A/n: hi my lovers.
