the love of my life - Pablo Gavi

the date

Tess pov:

'Sara! Pablo texted me!' 'What did he say?' Sara shouts in my ear. I don't want to go deaf, thank you.' Sara laughs. 'I'm sorry.' 

'He asks how my head injury is going.' 'What are you going to say?' Well, I still have a lot of headaches, but I'm much better. That's what I'm gonna text him.'' ''Shouldn't you think more carefully first? You are in love with him, then you have to give the best answer.'' I laugh. ''But this is just the truth. And it's weird if I leave it for read for a long time.'' 

Sara and I are best friends, but this is such a big difference between us. When Sara is texting with a boy, she first thinks for hours about what to say. I always have an answer ready.

Pablo

Pablo: Hey mi vida, how is your head injury?

                                                                                                                                         Tess: Hey Pablo, it's getting beter every day! I have still a lot of headaches and I can't go to school yet, but that's okay.

Pablo: Hope it won't bother you anymore soon<3

Tess: Thanks Pablo<3

Pablo: One thing, shall we meet this afternoon?

 A short scream escapes my mouth. A scream of joy. ''He asks if we will meet this afternoon!'' ''Well, he dares! You've only known each other for 4 days.'' 

Pablo

Tess: Yea, of course! You can come over here, around 3 p.m.?

Pablo: Great, see ya!

Pablo pov:

I'm standing at the door of her dorm room. Tess opens the door. "Hey, beautiful young lady." "Hey, Pablo." She giggles. I smile. 

When Tess laughs, I feel all warm inside. I've only known her for a while, but in that short time we've become much closer.

'Come in! And sorry it's so terribly small, a student room in Spain isn't exactly big. I laugh and walk inside. I look around her room. A real typical girls' room. But then my eye catches posters on the wall. When I look closer, they are posters of FC Barcelona. 'Are you a barca fan?' 'Yes, for the rest of my life. I love the club.'

'I have an idea, Tess. What does a fall date look like to you?' 'Are you serious?' She jumps up and down. I laugh. "Is that a yes?" "Yea, 100%, I love fall dates!''

''But where are we going?' 'You can choose.' 'Can we go to that little coffee shop in Barcelona and get coffee to go, and then go for a walk somewhere?'' ''Yea, sounds nice!'' ''But you need to choose the location for the walk.' I look at her. "I will do that." "I'm going to get ready, if that's okay to you." "Yea of course!'

Tess pov:

It's autumn in Spain, but it's still warm. So I grab a pair of dark brown pants and a dark green top from my closet and put them on.

Luckily my hair is already curly, so I just need to do my make-up. I sit behind my make-up table. Once I've done my makeup, I grab a bag and throw my lip gloss, phone and hair tie in it. Pablo is sitting on my bed, scrolling on his phone. "You look hot, Tess." I spin around for him. I am blushing. "Thank you." Then we walk to the car and get in.

Pablo pov: 

We drive to the place where we are going to get coffee. I look at Tess. She stares out the window. "Is everything okay?" She looks at me tiredly. 'Yea, I'm just a bit tired.' 'We can go home if you want. Then we get coffee and watch a movie together at my home.' 'Sweet of you, but I know that once I'm off to do something fun, it always gets better.' I look at her worriedly. "You sure?" "Yea Pablo." We walk into the shop and order coffee.

When we get to the place where we want to go for a walk, we get out of the car. I take Tess' hand. She smiles. After we've walked a bit, we come to an open spot. 

'Tess, I have a fun idea. Many people carve their initials in a tree, would you do the same with me?' "Yea, I would love that!" I take a small knife from my pocket. I make a heart in the tree and put her first letter in the heart. I give the knife to Tess. She carefully makes a plus sign next to the T and puts the G after the plus sign. 

"It's perfect, don't you think Pablo?" "It's perfect Tess, just like you. I see Tess blushing. She's so cute when you blush. 

"I wanna ask you something." ''What's up?'' I feel that my hands are sweaty. ''I know it's still early, but for me I feel like this is more than a friendship. You may not believe me, but I love you Tess. 

I look into her ocean blue eyes. ''Will you be my girlfriend?'' "Yea, I would love to!" I look at her happily. "Are you serious?" "Yes, Pablo. I love you.'' 

Then I give her a hug. A tear runs down my cheek. She looks at me teasingly and gently wipes away the tear. 'I didn't know that you were such an emotional boy.' 'If I really care about something, I get emotional really fast.' Do you want to? She nods. Then I feel her soft lips on mine.
