His daughter // Pablo Gavi

Fifty

2022

It was Christmas day, well 12 am but still Christmas Day and Isabel sat with her dad in the living room opening each others gifts to one another.
Her mom flies out with the boys tomorrow so they can stay here till after new years.

Isabel smiles at the new pair of shoes.
"Wow Papa, who knew you kept up with the trends" she jokes as she pulls out her new gray Nike dunks.
Gerard rolls his eyes.
"Thank you papa, I love them" she says getting up and pressing a kiss to his cheek.

After opening up the few gifts they bought themselves, her dad makes two cups of hot chocolate for the pair.

"So" he says walking back from the kitchen.
Isabel smiles at him taking it from his hands.
"Clara...has been asking to meet you" he says sitting down.

Isabel raises her eye brows a takes a sip of her drink.
"nice"

Gerard sighs.
"Nena" he says looking at her seriously.
Isabel shrugs. "I don't really want to meet her" she says honestly.
"Isabel Mija please?" She shakes her head. "No sorry, let's not talk about this on Christmas please? I want to enjoy my time with my Papa" she says to him as she picks up the remote controller and turns on the tv and starts looking for a Christmas movie to play.

He dad doesn't bring up the topic anymore and decides that she's right and that they should just enjoy dad and daughter time like old time.
He stands up with his mug and walks over sitting next to his daughter, wrap an arm around her; her curling up into her dad, resting her head on his shoulder as she held her mug on her thigh.
Gerard looked down at the girl in his arms, he sometimes wonders how he did such a good job with her. If you really think of it all she has is his looks and maybe a little bit of his attitude but that's it.
Her dad leans his head down onto of hers, as they watch the Christmas movie on the screen before they decide to head off to sleep at 3 am.

December 29th Isabel found herself sat in the back of Eric Garcias car shoving her face with McDonald fries as her, Eric and Ale talked about random things they could think of.

"Why Paulo Dybala?" Eric asks with a mouth full of fries.
Isabel shrugs from the back seat. "He's cute"
"he a pretty good player" Ale speaks up from his spot in the passenger seat.
"Didn't he only play a total of 25 minutes the whole World Cup?" Eric questions.

"More then you played" Isabel mumbles to herself.
"I heard that"
"Good"

Alejandro laughs at the pair.
"You two give off so much older brother and younger sister vibes"

"I'd be the more attractive sibling" Isabel giggles taking a sip of her drink.
"That's such bullshit" Eric gasp.

The girl shakes her head sitting up and moving closer to the front seat.
"Balde who is cuter?" She ask, leaning closer to Eric ask they both start smiling at Alejandro as he examined the two.

"Mmmm...isa-Eric!" He shouts.
Eric let's out a victory Cheer before they start doing a random hand shake.
Isabel's jaw drops.
"Te odio Alejandro, that's my pedri is my best friend not you!" She tells him.

Alejandro raises an eyebrow at her.
"Really you going to tell Pedri all your boy trouble cause if I remember clearly you said-stop! Fine. You're making it seem so bad, it's just that Pedri willing shows Pablo our messages and I mean it's nothing bad, but I want him to do this all on his own? You know" she says getting back into her spot.

Eric turns back to look at her.
"What exactly happened between you and Pablo?"

"We broke up" she says in a monotone.
Eric rolls his eyes.
"De verdad?" He says sarcastically.
"Why though?"

Isabel and Alejandro make eyes contact before they move back to Eric.
"Well that was a little rude" Eric tells them.

Isabel shrugs. "It's not important"
Eric eyes the two suspiciously but decided not to push further on the topic as to why they ended things.

"Have you two like talked?" He questions.
Isabel nods grabbing her drink.
"Yeah, we've texted a bit, he been really sweet. He bought me a Christmas present" she tells him.

"I say go for another man" Alejandro says.
Eric let's out a small laugh.
"why are you praying on Pablo down fall?" He asks the other boy.
Alejandro shrugs.
Isabel gasps at Eric.
"Eric using slag?" She says trying to change the topic.
Eric throws a empty fry container at her.
"You do realize I'm only 21 right?"

Alejandro gasp.
"21?!" Him and Isabel turns to look at each other with a very dramatic scared face.

"Oh fuck you guys, I swear I'll leave you on the side of the road" Eric laughs.
Alejandro and Isabel burst out laughing.

Isabel feels her phone vibrate, leaving the conversation that the two guys at front starts as she pull her phone out.

Isabel shuts off her phone, she hated how everything seemed so awkward but she knew that it was only because the most recent events that had went down between the two and that everything will hopefully get better soon.

"Mason Mount. Most attractive player" Eric says, pulling the girl out of her thoughts.

Alejandro shakes his head. "Neymar" he says.

"Paulo dybala" the girls sigh, relaxing her shoulders at her own answers.

"Shut up about Paulo"

The girl lifts her hands up in her defense.
