JUST FRIENDS... // Pablo Gavi

best friends

Felina

The next morning I woke up because someone was ringing the doorbell like crazy.
I shouted: "wait a second, I'm coming!", and quickly put a pear of jeans and a shirt on and ran downstairs.
It was Mali...
I completely forgot that she wanted to come over and that today I had to tell Pablo that I don't want to date him anymore.

"Oh eh, Hi bae! Did I wake you up? Great to finally see you again!", Mali said as I opened the door.
"Mmh", I only mumbled yawning.
"Can I come in?", she asked.
"Oh yeah, sorry, of course!", I said still half asleep.

I haven't seen her in such a long time because she lives in Germany but every time we meet again, it feels like we were never apart. It's never awkward between us!

We went upstairs into my bedroom and I changed again but this time in a more nicer and decent outfit. Malina made my make up and hair and we quickly ate breakfast. After we had our meal we got into Mali's car and we drove to Pablo's house. I was pretty nervous but with Mali by my side it was endurable. I mean she's right, it's probably better if Pablo and I are just friends for now.

"Holy crab, this house is dope. It's more like a mansion than a house!", Mali wondered as we arrived in front of his house.
I could only answer: "Yea."
Mali tried to cheer me up: "Hey, you got this! Do you want me to go with you or is it okay if I stay in the car while you go in and talk to him?"
"I don't know... Malina, I don't want to!", I protested
"I'm sorry, you have to! Either I'll come with you or I'll wait here, what would you prefer? It'll be okay, everything will be alright, don't worry!"
"Okay.", I took a deep breath, "Then I'll go alone real quick and you wait here in the car."
"Yeah, fine!"
I walked slowly towards his front door.

Pablo

I was playing FIFA with my friend Fermín as I heard someone knocking at my door. I was too lazy to open the door and we were in the middle of a match as well so I didn't open the door but continued playing. After about half a minute it knocked again and Fermín almost forced me to open the door. With a sigh I got up and went to my door to open it.
Oh.
"Eh, hi! I didn't expect it to be you otherwise I would have opened earlier, sorry", I chuckled nervously while scratching my neck.
"Hey, ehm could we may talk?", she requested.
"Yes, of course! Fermín is also here, he's in the living room so let's go upstairs!"
"Yeah, fine!"

We sat down on my sofa and I asked: "You and Anita, you both talked in the restrooms, didn't you?", without waiting for an answer I continued: "I know I messed things up, I was a dick and I'm aware of that and I'm sorry for that! I've changed, really, I've changed for you, please, if I can do anything then tell me, I don't want to lose you, Felia!"

"Pablo, listen, I like you very much, I really do! Recently, you have grown very close to my heart and you have also become quite important to me!"
My cheeks got hotter and I knew I was blushing really hard out of joy so I quickly looked down so she wouldn't notice.

"However, I think I probably need some more time..."
No, please don't do that to me...
All my joy and happiness went by so fast.
A tiny little tear appeared in my eye but I quickly blinked it away.
She continued: "It's not just because of what Anita said, I believe that you've changed, everyone does stupid things when their young... but the thing with my ex wasn't long ago as well and I haven't had time to process the whole thing yet. I'm afraid Pablo, I'm afraid that the same thing will happen again! I don't want to lose you. Pablo, I think I n-need m-more time. I'm s-s...sorry" she sobs in tears.
Fuck...
How I hate the man who did this to her... At some point he will pay for what he did, I'll take care of that!
"Hey, it's okay!", I whispered calming while I pulled her in a hug!
nothing is okay

She cried onto my shoulder and my shirt was already wet from her tears. I also just wanted to cry but instead I pulled myself together again and blinked away the tears, Felia needs me now, I can't cry around her like a child.

"Pablo?"
"Yes, Belleza?" I immediately regretted saying this because it would just make things worse but I couldn't suppress it.
"Would you mind if we just stay friends for now?", Felia asked.
"No, it's okay. If you aren't ready now that's fine! Take your time, I'll wait for you!"
"Thank you! You don't need to wait for me, you are free to date anyone you want now!"
"No, I won't!"
"But from now on, you can!"
"I only want you Felia, and I will wait for you!", I decided. "We are best friends though, right?", I asked with a shy smile.
"My first best friend is always Mali, but you can be my second bestie!", she laughed.
"Okayyyy, fine"
"Great, Pabsi - my second best friend, are you free at the weekend? Do you want to go to the cinema with Mali and me? As best friends of course! Only if you want to be still friends with me though..."
"Yes, Feli - my second best friend, I want!"
"Feli and not Felia or Belleza?", she asked confused.
"Yea, I thought maybe you don't want me to call you Belleza now since we are just friends."
"Aw that's cute! But Belleza is still fine haha! I don't care, call me how you want!", she said smiling.

I went downstairs with her as she had to leave. 
We walked past Fermín and he gave me a questioning look. I just smiled and then went on to the front door with Felia.
I don't know why but I'm not even sad, I'm just happy that I didn't lost her at all and that I didn't hurt her feelings with my behaviour back then with Anita.

"And? What happened? What did she say? How did it go? Are you okay?", Fermín directly hit me with tons of questions as Felia left, he was bursting with curiosity.
I answered: "Just friends."
He repeated questioning: "Just friends?"
"Just Friends!"
"Pablo, what the fuck do you mean with just friends?"
"What can you not understand haha, we are just friends. Best friends!", I added laughing.
"And you don't... care... at all?"
"No, I don't. We are best friends and she's happy now and that is what matters for me."
"Oh, then I'm happy for you. I thought you're completely heartbroken now", he laughed.
"I honestly don't know why I care so less, she somehow manages to make me still happy and got me smiling."
"Yes, correct! Since she came you smirk so stupid for the whole time. When I see you like this I kinda want to be in love too", Fermín teased me laughing.
"I'm not in love!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!!"
"Hm, certainly not!", he said sarcastic.
I just hit him with a pillow instead of giving him a real answer.
I'm not in love, definitely not, we are just friends, nothing more, just friends, best friends!
