What a wonderful evening it is. Together we sit in the dressing room with Pedri, Frenkie, my friend and Pablo.
"What are your hobbies, Tess?" I look at Pablo. 'Ehm, I really like to paint, especially realistic portraits. And I like football. "Can I see some paintings?"
"Yea, why not." I open my phone and look for some photos. Gavi walks over to me and sits next to me.
Our knees touch.
My heart skips a beat. 'That's so good! You have talent, Tess.' I blush. 'Thanks, but it's just a little hobby. That reminds me of something.' I grab my bag and take out a painted canvas. "I painted you and I wanna give it to you."
I give him the painting. Pablo looks at me in disbelief. "You made this?" "Yes, I used a photo from Pinterest and I repainted it." "It's so good, Tess. Pedri, Frenkie, you have to see this.''
He holds the painting in front of him. "It's so beautiful Tess." "Yea, how did you do that?" I blush. 'I just started to paint I guess. "You have a lot of talent." "Thank you Pedri."
Frenkie laughs. "Are you two dating or single?" Sara answers. 'I'm taken.' And you, Tess?' 'I'm single.' Then we only have 2 singles in the room.' I look at Pablo, terrified. "Are you taken?" I feel tears welling up.
"Nope, I'm also single." He smiles at me, it feels reassuring.
Frenkie laughs loudly. Why were you so shocked, Tess?' I feel myself turning red. "Owh, nothing." I see Pablo turning red too.
"There are 2 lovebirds sitting in front of me," Pedri says. I feel myself getting even redder. Pablo too. 'That's not nice Pedri. You're putting her on the spot now.'
I melt inside. It's so sweet that he protects me. "Sorry." But I see Pedri stil smiling. I also laugh uncomfortably.
"Do you have a particular favorite food?" I'm glad Pablo changes the subject. 'I'm addicted, but really addicted to sushi. When I was younger I thought it was really gross, but now, I really love it.'
I see Sara looking at her phone. 'We're really sorry, but we have to go. We need to be checked into our hotel in less than an half hour.
We get up. Pablo also gets up. "Can I have your phone number?" "Pablo, she's only 17." I hear Pedri say that.
I feel myself turning red. 'Yea, of course!' We exchange our phone numbers.
'I can bring you to the hotel. I see that he is turning red now too. "So you don't have to call and uber."
"That's sweet, thanks Pablo." I smile at Pablo. Sara looks at me. I know exactly what she means with that look. Then we walk to the car. I walk next to Pablo.
"Have you ever played football, Tess?" "Yea, a lot. But never really trained or played matches.' Then we get into the car.
I sit in the front, because there is not enough room in the back.
That's actually a lie, but I'd like to sit in the front. Fortunately, Gavi doesn't think it's strange. I look at Pablo. He is so nice and really handsome.
He smiles at me. I look at him in horror. "Sorry." "No, it's okay, really." We arrive at the hotel much too quickly.
"Thanks for the ride, Pablo." "My pleasure. Do you know your room number?' 'It is number 763, right?' I look at Sara questioningly. "You're right."
I get out of the car and smile at him one more time. "It was nice meeting you, Tess." "I loved it." Pablo laughs. 'That's nice to hear. Hope to see you soon.' 'I hope so too.' Then I close the car door. I hear Pablo driving away.
Pablo pov:
When I drive away, I call Frenkie. "Hey Pablo, what's up?" "Hey Frenkie, where can I order sushi?" Frenkie laughs. "But you don't even like sushi."
"It's not for me." "Then who is it for?" "It's for Tess. Whe didn't eat after the match and I thought she might be hungry. But where can I order?' 'I'll send you a link.
'Okay, thanks. I'll see you tomorrow.' 'See ya.' Then I hang up. I park my car and order food and drinks. Then I drive to the hotel where I will spend the night.
Tess pov:
When we enter the hotel, we can go straight to our room. When we get to our room, I immediately put on my chill clothes.
When we both sit down on our bed, the talking starts about this night. "Tess, did you realize that you have the telephone number of a professional football player? And a handsome footballer too?"
I look at her with a smile. "He just asked to text me tomorrow to check how I'm doing." "Girl, did you see the way Pablo looked at you?" "Now tell me." "Just the way you look at him.
He looked at you in love all the time, Tess.' I blush.
Then we hear a knock on the door. I walk to the door and open it. "Delivery for room 763." "But I didn't order anything." "It's in the name of a man named Pablo Gavi."
I stand in the doorway, shocked. I take the order and close the door. I see that the food comes from a sushi restaurant. I walk over to her and put the plastic bag on the bed. "We have plenty of sushi." Sara looks at me with a smile. "Did you order this?" "Nope." I open my phone and I see that Pablo has sent me a text.
Pablo
Pablo: I hope you're hungry😉
Tess: Did you order the sushi?
Tess: I'm starving lol
Pablo: We didn't eat anything after the game, so I thought you and your friends must be hungry
Pablo: Enjoy the sushi!
Tess: Thanks<3
Sara looks at me questioningly. 'Pablo sent me a text. He ordered it and paid for it.' I feel myself blushing.
"He's so nice," Sara says teasingly. "That's right," I say dreamily. Then I sit on the bed. I take all the sushi out of the bag. 'It's really a lot of sushi. And he also ordered 2 boba teas and 4 waters. I look at the receipt.
"That boy has too much money. 112 euros for sushi!" Sara laughs. "You know one thing, he can really spoil someone." I laugh.
'You're right. Luckily we have a refrigerator in our room. We'll never finish this.' I take the chopsticks and give some to Sara. Then we start eating.
