New Beginnings

Perfect Timing

After a long night, full of confessions, tears and conversations, I woke up to the smell of breakfast.

More specifically, waffles.

I smile softly, mentally thanking whoever decided to send a chef to cook breakfast.

As the door opens, I slowly open my eyes, a smile on my face. A slight frown appears on my face when I realise who the chef is.

'Did something happen?' I asked worried.

'No.' he shook his head. 'I just... I made breakfast.' he lifted up the tray of food, his usual playful smile spread across his face.

'Pedri, didn't you have a match? I thought you won't be able to make it till tomorrow.' I said confused.

'Change of plans.' he said and set the tray on my lap and took a seat on the edge of the bed, watching me.

I took a bite of his famous waffles and groaned in pleasure. 'Oh, wow, this... this is so good!' I said, cutting up another piece to stuff in my mouth.

'I'm glad.' he chuckled.

'Do you want some?' I asked him, my mouth full.

'No, it's okay.' he smiled. 'You have to eat for two now.' he glanced at my belly. 'Even though you eat for like the whole country anyways.'

I stopped chewing and looked at him with a serious look on his face, making him laugh.

'Look...' he started. 'I'm going to start talking and I want your hear me out until the end without interrupting me.' he smiled. 'Do you think we can do that?'

'It depends.' I shrugged my shoulders.

'Please.' his eyes met mine.

'Makes sense why you even cooked breakfast.' I rolled my eyes playfully. 'To keep my mouth occupied.'

'You were hungry, I'm a pretty good chef, you talk too much, I need to tell you something...' he enumerated. 'I call it perfect timing.' he smiled.

'Go ahead.' I said taking another bite from the waffle.

'I don't know if it's something I've done, something I said, or something at all. I don't even know if something even happened.' he started. 'I just, erm... I don't know what's going on in that head of yours and I don't think I want to know...' he shook his head. 'Irina, before I met you, I thought that love isn't a real thing, that loving only get you hurt and I thought that I could never love someone the way I see it in movies, or how people talk about.' he chuckled lightly. 'But I realised, that just like breathing, loving you is the most natural feeling I've ever known. I am so in love with you, that sometimes it physically hurts me.'

I opened my mouth to try and say something but he cut me off.

'I know that things are not the same... I know that.' he nodded his head. 'But that doesn't mean that I'm ready to give up. To let you walk away. Irina, you're a complete mess. You're chaos.' he smiled. 'But you're the most beautiful chaos I've ever seen. And however complicated this gets, I still want you. I want us.'

Comparing lovers is stupid. I've met people that like to compare what they once had with what they have now. To constantly find the cons and pros of it.

But there was nothing to compare when it came to Neymar and Pedri. I was madly in love with Neymar or maybe with the idea that we could be perfect.

But Pedri makes me feel a way that I can only describe as seeing sunlight after days of rain.

'Are you done?' I smiled softly.

'No.' he smiled, shaking his head. 'I don't think I'll ever be done, but for now... you can have your voice back.'

I chuckled and looked at him, taking in everything that he is. 'My head has been all over the place.' I said sincerely. 'But I wouldn't of wanted to do this with anyone else, but you.' I smiled. 'I love you, Pedri. Today, tomorrow, until the end of times.'

'Thank God.' he let out a sigh followed by a chuckle. He leaned closer to me and placed a kiss on my lips. 'I love you.'

'Oh my God!' I said as soon as I saw Kylian. 'What the hell are you doing here?' I asked excitedly.

'Wasn't I invited?' he chuckled.

'Well, tomorrow.' I laughed.

'I just couldn't wait.' he smiled and wrapped his arms around me, placing a kiss on my head.

Pedri, Luca and Kylian then started talking about football, as per usual.

The day was spent with my favourite people in the world, while Bru and Ney had to attended a wedding party.
