Never Let Go (Of Me) • Ferran Torres

Chapter 32: What She Is

🎶 Genie In a Bottle — Christina Aguilera 🎶

Ferran POV

With that proposal Cata had unexpectedly pulled out a few days ago, I had been training extra hard these days, staying behind at the Ciutat Esportiva for another hour after our team training, trying to improve my shots and precision - I wanted that goal at all costs. That girl knew exactly how to wind me up - she held me in the palm of her hand. And on the one hand, I loved being hers, but on the other hand, I was afraid of how quickly I had fallen. Was I really fully ready to trust again, getting into a new relationship so quickly? One thing I knew for certain: If she broke up with me, it would be so much worse than it was with Sira. Cata hit... just different.

On Saturday evening, Pedri and Eric came over for dinner and after that, we settled on the couch to play some FIFA matches.
"So... Will you tell us the reason for your extra training this week? Shark mentality?" Eric asked with a grin on his face and I smirked.
"Cata promised me a blowjob if I score tomorrow" I replied proudly and the boys' jaws dropped.
"Nah... no way" Pedri mumbled impressed and I nodded proudly.

"No, no, no. You're moving to fast, Ferran" Eric said, furrowing his eyebrows worriedly.
"What? Why?" I asked, not knowing what he was on about.
"You're building up a sexual connection before building up an emotional one. A really solid one. And I do believe you should do that first to avoid another relationship fiasco" he replied.
"What?" I asked confusedly and Eric shook his head.
"Oh my gosh... Are you even serious about her? Or is she just a girl you're using to make you feel good and satisfy your needs?" he asked, starting to get worked up for nothing.

"Why do you care all out of a sudden?! Are you into her? Don't think I found your flirty comments under her posts cool!" I almost shouted.
"Whoa, Ferran, calm down! Eric asked a valid question because we care about you! Don't feel attacked - we just... don't want you to toy around with anyone's feelings... Neither hers nor yours" Pedri commented and I raised my eyebrows at him.
"Oh I didn't know you two were the relationship experts now" I chuckled sarcastically, shaking my head.

"It's better to be single and not disappoint anyone" Eric defended himself.
"From how you talk, you seem jealous that I managed to pull a bomb like her while the only thing you can do is drool over her Instagram pics" I shot back.
"Ferran... what the fuck? What happened to the sweet guy head over heels for her? You shouldn't care about one blowjob but about really being with her, treating her right!" Pedri asked now and I didn't know what was going on with these two today.

"Not like I have to justify myself in front of you two, but I am treating her right" I clarified sternly.
"Really? Have you taken her out on a date yet?" Eric asked and raised his eyebrows. I chuckled and rolled my eyes.
"She doesn't want that, she's paranoid about being pictured out with me and I enjoy having her around here. We play with Milo, cuddle and share stories, we don't need more" I replied.

"Dude, girls do need more. That's why I'm not in a relationship, because I'm just not ready to get into that kind of duty. But at least I'm not playing pretend with a girl and sticking her around just for sex and fun" Pedri said and I rolled my eyes again. They were being so fucking dramatic over nothing.
"If you really want to know, I am taking care of her. I've paid off her student loans - she doesn't need that sword looming over her head." I told them proudly.

"Does she know about this?" Eric asked.
"No, but I guess she'll just be happy about it and thank me" I replied and shrugged. Maybe with another blowjob, I thought to myself. Or sex, fuck, I couldn't wait to sleep with her. She must feel like heaven and knowing that I was going to be the one taking her virginity, fuck. Hot.

"I already told you once, and I'm telling you again now: She's way out of your league. I do know that you harbour real feelings for her, but it seems that you're being blinded about just satisfying your needs and fill up your love tank with her. If you don't treat her right, how she deserves to be, another guy will." Pedri warned me, but I could only laugh it off.
"Thanks for the unwanted advice, but we're happy. She has me and I have her, there's nothing more needed" I replied sternly and with that, the conversation was over.
