It was a usual night out, but we added a few more drinks for our celebration. I got a bit tipsy, to be honest, but I could manage it with no problem.
"Let me take a picture and you post it right away! You hear me? You look amazing, girl." Evelyn was trying to tell me through the noise.
"Okay, okay. Fine." I giggled as I was posing.
"There you go."
"Thank you, let me look for a caption."
The white dress captured the lights nicely on my body, and of course, I had to pull a Bella Hadid type of pose. I really was feeling myself tonight, I missed going out and having nothing to worry about, my favorite music blasting all the time, around all these people that have their own life going on, yet gather together for a few moments in their lives.
"Dance with meeee!" I insisted as I heard Party Monster from The Weeknd playing. I love that song so much.
Evelyn got up from the table while Sofia just came back from me. "What can I say to her?" Evelyn whispered to Sofia and they both giggled at me being tipsy. "I can't keep up with her anymore. It's your turn." Sofia told her, while Evelyn left her purse to Sofia, "Let the girl have some fun, you know she had a rough time lately."
"Eve, I love you sooooo much. I love Sofi too. I love you both. So much." I told Evelyn as I went to hug her.
"Sweet baby, you know we love you too. I love you too, so much. Are you alright though?" she asked me while I lost my balance for a bit.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm alright. Don't worry." I reassured her as I started streaming again hearing Rihanna's Pour It Up. "I looooove this song!" I continued while Evelyn was matching my vibe.
Eventually, after having a good time with my best friends for a while and the club was almost closed, I got home and got ready for bed. It was 4 in the morning and I wasn't sleepy at all, so I started looking at photos from Tenerife. This place was magical. I always wanted to visit it, but I never got the chance, as I ended up going somewhere else. I knew Spain was beautiful, I went to Barcelona many times, mostly because of my father, who is a big supporter of Barça.
I grew up watching them all the time, he even got me a jersey when I was a kid. I remember all the great games they had, but unfortunately, since I focused on school more I haven't caught up with them that much anymore.
Sometimes dad gives me updates on them. I know they have a lot of young players now, which are doing an amazing job to keep the legacy alive. Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, and Neymar were my favorites back then, but sometimes this job might be cruel for some of their beloveds.
Dad is always talking about this guy who reminds him of Iniesta and Messi and how good is he. I don't really know who is he talking about, but I heard that some of the new players took inspiration from the ones I used to watch, which I think is amazing. Maybe someday I will surprise him with a game since he barely has the time now to travel.
As I searched the internet for some insights about Tenerife, I discovered some cities that I would like to see. Everything there looks great and two weeks would be enough for our trip.
-------------------
When I woke up I looked for my parents to talk to them about our plans. I knew they would agree with the trip, they loved Sofia and Evelyn. They are my childhood friends, we did everything together, since kindergarten, school and high school, university being the only place that separated us from continuing our tradition.
I went to grab a cup of coffee and slightly opened the window so I could light a cigarette.
"When are you going to give up smoking?" my mother asked me joking, while she joined me. She's the one talking?
"When you decide to do the same." I responded in the same manner.
My father showed up minutes later, placing a kiss on my forehead. "How are my girls this morning? How does my baby feel like after finishing the semester?" he asked us while looking for something to eat for breakfast.
"We just had our coffee, dad. I feel great, I can't believe it's finally summer for me too." I told him as I joined him for breakfast.
"I'm free tonight and it's also a friendly match, Barça-Real Madrid. Do you want to watch it together, like the old times?" he asked me while checking the info for the game.
"I would love to, but you have to update me on the players." I told him with a nostalgic smile.
"But you already know about them, I tell you all the time about Pedri, Gavi, Yamal, Lewa, Gundo." he responded laughing at my lack of knowledge.
"Yeah, right." I told him mocking, getting up from my seat to help mom with the dishes. "I wanted to tell you something. I'm going with Sofi and Eve on a trip to Tenerife, we decided yesterday about it, we haven't been together on a holiday in years."
"You know, we were talking the other day about a gift for you. We could pay for your trip, we want you to enjoy it." mom was saying as she glanced at dad, both continuing their activities.
"Really? Would you pay for my trip?"
"Sweetheart, it's time for you to relax and have some fun. You've had enough lately. It's the least we can do to make you happy. Great choice for the place, by the way."
"Don't you think she got a bit bored of your Barcelona?"
"Oh, come on, that is not true. Is it?"
"I love you so much, both. And dad, no, it's not true. Mom is just messing with you."

Sofia:

------------------------
I was in a relationship for two years. At first, he was the perfect guy, but after a while, he became distant and did a lot of things that would hurt me, including cheating, thing that would end our relationship. He was my first love, my first everything, he was the kind of guy that I would dream of, but all of these were just a facade of a messed up person who fooled me perfectly. Not only me but everyone who knew him, including my family and my friends. No one would see him as capable of such behaviour, knowing his good background and the fact that we've known him for years, that he liked me and he was trying for a long time to show me that he deserved a chance. But I guess, some things happen for a reason.
I'm already looking through the closet for some clothes I'm thinking of packing. I know this will take me a while to decide what I want to wear and to plan my outfits, so my room is already a mess. I gotta look amazing anywhere I go. Plus, I can't look awful in my Instagram pictures.
