Summary: The plan that night was just to have fun and try to forget. And Valeria (or Val as everyone calls her) did forget. But what she didn't expect, was to do it with someone younger than her. Someone who also happened to be a football player, an...
"This has been the best Christmas present ever, Val. Seriously."
"You're welcome" I smile.
"Barça won, we watched it from some of the best seats, and Pedri scored! It had been a while, you know?"
"I don't keep up with what they do."
Which is a lie, because whether I like it or not, this season I am paying attention to what Barça does.
"Did you see Pedri's celebration? Today it was different."
"How so?" I ask.
"He started doing it this season, and the first time it was towards the stands. Then he started doing it towards the camera, and today again to the stands. We believe it is dedicated to someone."
"We?"
"His fans, of course."
"Of course" I chuckle.
"Some people say he does it for a friend, but many think it is for a girl, because he sends a kiss and then does a peace sign. But it can also be a V for Victoria or Verónica for example."
Or Valeria, I say to myself.
"Oh my God, Val! I just realized something!" Marina says, squeezing my arm. "He did the celebration looking at where we were! What if we were sitting next to whoever that person is?"
"Could be a possibility, I guess."
"Oh... my God" she says. "And it's my turn to go into the bathroom. Don't leave, ok?"
"I won't, don't worry."
Once she goes in, my phone pings.

I liked it.
Though I would have liked it a lot more if it hadn't been the winning one
