"I'm so stupid." Lara said as she fell onto the sofa in Rosa's apartment.

"What did you do now?" she asked, sitting down after her.

"What do you think?" the black-haired girl asked, covering her face with her hands.

"You gotta help me here, I have no clue." Rosa said and Lara huffed, sitting up.

"I hooked up with Ferran again." she said and Rosa's lips formed into a smirk. "Stop that."

"I'm just saying that that's how it usually starts." she said. "When? You drove us back when we went out, did you go out again?"

"Yesterday." Lara said.

"But didn't you have the dinner with your sister yesterday?" Rosa asked and then realised. "Oh, it went bad, then?"

"Oh, you don't even want to know." Lara shook her head. "It was worse than bad, although her new boyfriend isn't too bad. Don't know what he sees in her."

"But do you regret it?"

"Rosa, I don't know." she said, putting her head in her hands. "He's Pedri's friend, though, isn't that messed up?"

"I mean, it's not like you two recently broke up." Rosa stated. "It's been two years, so it shouldn't really matter. Also, it's not like you guys ended it on bad terms or because of anything that actually happened between you two. If so, Pedri should be mad at Ferran for hooking up with his ex and not you for hooking up with his friend."

"I don't know." she said. "It's nice with him, you know?"

"So you enjoyed it." Rosa teased, raising an eyebrow as that smirk returned.

"Rosa, not the point." Lara said. "I mean, like, in the way - I don't know how to explain it. I guess the best way to describe it is that it doesn't feel like a one night stand, you know? Not like I'm just someone he'll throw away and abandon after getting what he wants. That morning after we hooked up the first time, he drove me home and said that he's one phonecall away. No strings attached, no feelings, nothing."

"So he wants to hook up with you more." Rosa analysed. "Some might say he proposed friends with benefits."

"Ew, don't say it like that."

"Many footballers have girls they only hook up with." Rosa explained. "If not all, those not in relationships very likely do. It's because they can't just go out to a club and hook up with a random girl whenever they want to because it'll come out and they'll look bad so they do what Ferran basically proposed to you: get one or two girls and just hook up with them whenever they want."

"But I don't want to be one of those girls." Lara said. "I don't do that stuff."

"But you get stuff out of it too." Rosa said. "Great sex, and you said he's a good friend as well, very funny, so you also get a good time apart from that."

"No." Lara said. "This was the last time."

"Okay." Rosa nodded. "If that's what you want."

"This is what I want." she said. "I'm not going to let him just use me like that."

"He definitely doesn't want to use you." Rosa said. "He doesn't seem like the type to do that, I think he just enjoyed it and wouldn't mind doing it again sometimes."

"No more." she said, shaking her head. "Me and him, just friends from now on. Nothing will ever happen again."

"Okay, if that's what you want." Rosa said.
