🎶 Can't Tame Her — Zara Larsson 🎶
Pedri POV
"Hey, I thought you'd be happy about coming back..." Gavi said as he sat down next to me in the changing room. I sat there, my head in my hands, replaying the stupid comment I dropped in front of Isa in my head again and again.
"Isa isn't coming tonight and I'm really disappointed! I mean, I thought that she was going to be there for me, celebrate my successes but... apparently she doesn't care" I huffed annoyedly and threw my dirty socks a bit too aggressively in the laundry bin.
"Nah, come on. Who cares, there will be tons of girls and alcohol, you're having fun tonight" Balde commented, having listened in to our conversation. He was right - a pretty girl and some sex would take my mind off my assistant. I didn't even know why I cared so much. After a quick shower and dressing in my usual jeans and hoodie, I signalled Gavi to follow me and we met my brother outside and walked to my car together.
"What were you bickering about with Isa?" Fer asked and I rolled my eyes.
"Nothing! Just leave me alone" I shouted, maybe a bit too aggressively and him and Gavi exchanged weird glances. We were one of the first ones to arrive and helped Sergi and Coral a bit with the final preparations before I finally cracked a beer open that I enjoyed on the sofa, Ferran and Eric having arrived now too and sitting down next to me. Ferran had gone straight to the hard stuff after intense days of arguing with Sira - they were on the verge of a break-up and he was devastated.
Eric invited a few girls over to sit with us and a blonde girl sat down extremely close to me, making me a bit uncomfortable but I just downed some more beer to make her touch bearable. I looked at her: she didn't have those cute dimples when she laughed like Isa had, she didn't have a perfect C cup like Isa had and she hadn't that soft touch that Isa had on my skin. My head was spinning, flooded with images of her disappointed face when I dropped that comment earlier before. I opened another can of beer and downed half of it in just one sip.
Everyone sitting on the sofa engaged in loud chatter and I let loose too, putting my hand on the thigh of that girl next to me, earning a bright smile from her with that, which I returned. Everything was going great, we were all having fun and I was exchanging kisses with Eva... or was it Ena? Who cares. But in the corner of my eye, I saw the one person that I hadn't expected to show up tonight.
Isa walked through the living room, arm in arm with Coral up to Sergi whom she greeted with kisses on both his cheeks. They joined a group with Jordi, Busi and their wives and sipped on their cocktails. I took my time to check her out, her hair was open, slightly waved, her make-up was heavy and her red lips were to die for. The black dress was short and her cleavage was perfectly on display for everyone. On her feet were sleek black sandals that made her legs look endlessly long. In the corner of my eye, I saw that every guy on the sofa was checking her out too - as did every other man in the room when I let my eyes wander around. Why were they all looking at my assistant as if they were lions and she was a piece of meat?
"Stop checking her out" I hissed at Eric and slapped his head at which he startled.
"Boy, you were the first one having your tongue hanging out your mouth" he clapped back at me and I just shot him a weirded out look.
"Who is she?" the girl next to me asked with a disgusted look on her face and I quickly shuffled a bit away from her.
"My assistant. And wipe that look off your face. She's off-limits for any stupid comment." I said angrily.
"She looks more like a hooker" she commented nonetheless and I was boiling up.
"You're one to talk" I mumbled back.
"Excuse me?" she asked angrily.
"Shut up" I quickly snapped at her when I saw Isa coming our way.
"Good evening" she announced, standing coolly in front of our table and looking at each one of us, her eyes finally also landing on me, then moving to Eva or Ena's hand dangerously close by my crotch. I quickly stood up like a school boy having been caught after a prank on the teacher and just stood there speechless.
"We were just about to play Truth or Dare, you in?" Ferran asked and she slightly hesitated but sat down next to some girls at the end of the couch.
"Of course! I wouldn't want you guys to think I'm boring" she said and accentuated her last word, making me roll my eyes as I sat back down again.
"Oooook! What do you want to drink?" Eric asked and she instructed him to pour a wild mix of Red Bull and Vodka. She wasn't playing tonight.
"Oldest one starts, Isa your turn, truth or dare?" Ansu asked.
"Um... tru-" she started, but looked at me. "Dare" she stated and I could only feel that she was trying to prove to me that she wasn't "boring" like I had called her. And I could definitely see that she wasn't dead as I had accused her, as her breasts on her chest were moving up and down with every breath she took, making my head spin. Some boys whistled and wooed at her decision and I prayed that they wouldn't make her do something that would make her feel uncomfortable.
"I dare you to... finish your glass all at once" Balde said. Whew.
"Gosh, easy" she said and downed it in three gulps, leaving us all with our mouths wide open. That was a fucking strong drink, I'd probably have choked on it after the second sip.
"Ok then... you girl" she said and nodded at the one next to me.
"Truth" she replied.
"How many guys have you slept with?" she shot right out and I could see Balde and a friend of his snickering at the other end of the couch.
"Um... I... I... don't..." Eva or Ena stuttered.
"Come on, it's truth. Don't be boring!" Isa challenged her.
"Between 30 and 40 I guess... I don't count!" she shouted and stood up angrily, stomping away from our group.
"That was so unnecessary to get her wound up" one of her girl friends shot at Isa, who was looking at her weirded out.
"I thought this was truth or dare and it was a harmless question, chill!" she shot back.
"Yeah, what's your body count then?" that girl now asked.
"Two. My high school boyfriend and my husband." Isa replied and took a sip from her glass. The table fell silent when we all realised that there were some people in this world that took sex seriously. I started feeling guilty for some reason.
"I thought this was a party... You guys are boring, I'll go look for some funnier table to be around" Isa announced and stood up, walking away to Anna Lewandowska, giving me a perfect view of her backside in that dress.
My body automatically stood up to look at her walking away, and that was the moment a switch went off inside of me. Isa wasn't just my assistant anymore. She had become the subject of my deepest desires.
