Sure Thing • Gavi

Chapter 122: He Went Too Far This Time

🎶 You Don't Own Me (feat. G-Eazy) — SAYGRACE, G-Eazy 🎶

"You think I'm doing the right thing?" I asked Pablo as we were taking a late night walk along the beach that evening after dinner. His hood was up, but it was dark and not many people were out at this hour, so we didn't worry about being pictured out together too much.
"It's your reputation and your decision. But I admire your strength very much - from the view of a footballer, you're sparing them from a lot of heavy critics if you keep the audio for yourself.
But you shouldn't worry too much; you're today's football drama and tomorrow there will already be something else. Besides, as soon as it comes out that we're back together, that will occupy the headlines enough" he chuckled and I laughed too, walking closer to him so that he could put his arm around me.

"I love this. I love you" Pablo whispered as we stood at the shore, him behind me, his arms slung around my chest as we both looked out onto the sea.
"I love you too" I replied and turned my head for him to kiss me. "I'm excited for our date tomorrow... We haven't been on a real date since..." I started.
"... you took me playing chess. That was pretty awesome so I'm feeling a lot of pressure to deliver something cool" he chuckled and kissed my cheek before we continued walking.

We eventually got back to his car and drove back to my place, which somehow felt more familiar and safer than his house where his sister or parents could always show up any minute. I was now about to pull off my shirt in front of Pablo and giving him a very sultry look, but he just laughed at me.
"Hey! What's so funny?! I'm trying to be sexy here!" I exclaimed.
"You are very sexy! But... since I still have got to take you out on a proper date to make things official with you, I will be a gentleman and wait until tomorrow to sleep with you" he replied, seemingly proud of his idea.
"This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard" I mumbled but put on my pyjama without arguing with him.

I was woken up the next morning by the sound of plates clattering and I grinned into my pillow, God, I was so lucky to have Pablo. Everything was perfect, except for the internet trolls that were still hating on me, but who fricking cared about that when you had Gavi sleeping in your bed at night? I quickly stood up and got my small present for Sant Jordi out of my closet that I had hidden under a stack of t-shirts.

"Good morning" I chirped as I walked into my living room/open kitchen where I found Pablo already having whipped up a delicious breakfast.
"Good morning Vicky" he replied and walked up to me, shirtless, to give me a good morning kiss.
"Thank you" I said and blushed when I saw the bouquet of roses on the table.
"You have to count them, every number of roses has a special meaning" he told me and I went over to do as he said.
"20? Means...?" I asked as he was putting down my coffee mug on my place.
"Google it" he replied and winked.

"20 roses: I am sincere towards you" I read.
"I'm really serious about this Vicky. I know I'm still young and have got to learn so many things about love and life, but... I want to do that with you" he said as he sat down in front of me and took my hand.
"I'd love that" I replied and scrunched my nose, giving him a happy, carefree smile.
We finally started eating and I started a new conversation.

"What's on your agenda today? What are you training now?" I asked him curiously.
"Mhm... I... just gym" he replied and he had a weird expression for a second, but I dismissed it quickly, he was probably just nervous about our date later. We engaged in some other superficial conversation until it was time for him to leave and he gathered his things.
"I'll pick you up at 8. Wear something nice, but... comfortable shoes" he said before giving me a quick peck on the lips and disappearing out the door with a huge smile on his face. Ah, he was so dreamy.

In the morning, I worked a bit and for lunch, I met up with Irene in the city.
"Ok, ok, has something finally happened between Luis and you? Because you are GLOWING!" she exclaimed as we hugged and greeted each other before sitting down at our table. I shook my head and bit my lower lip, which was curled up in a smile.
"Pablo..." I admitted and blushed.
"NO WAY!" she gasped and covered her mouth, looking very excited and I nodded shyly.
"Way way. We're kind of... back together again" I said quietly and she started squealing and squeaking.
