[In the Shadows of Love] ~ Pedri.Gonzalez

Chapter 10

After the boys are gone, Bella says, "So you're gonna tell me that all of this is nothing, right?"

Emily replies, "What do you mean?"

Bella says, "You and Pedri. What are you two?"

Emily responds, "Nothing."

Bella retorts, "Does 'nothing' mean inviting him to your house, kissing him, and spending time together?"

Emily says, "I'm gonna go sleep. Bye."

Bella counters, "Don't you dare walk away from me!"

As Pedri and Ferran walk to their cars, Ferran says, "Dude, I don't understand you. Do you like Emily?"

Pedri responds, "What? No way."

Ferran presses, "No way? Then why do you spend time with her?"

Pedri says, "I don't know."

Ferran teases, "Wait, are you in love?"

Pedri laughs, "Of course not. You know, Ferran, I don't date anymore. Now I just focus on my career."

Ferran says, "Well, let's see how long you keep lying to yourself."

Pedri retorts, "Shut up."

Next morning

As usual, Emily was at the training session, capturing shots and creating content. The team was busy with their drills, unaware that today's training wasn't going to be ordinary. Only Xavi and Emily knew that someone special was coming.

Emily focused on her work, trying to ignore the occasional glances from Pedri. She adjusted her camera, capturing the intensity and dedication of the players. Xavi kept checking his watch, anticipating the arrival of their guest.

Suddenly, a murmur spread through the team as they noticed a group of people approaching. Emily turned her camera towards the entrance, ready to capture the moment. The players stopped and stared, curiosity etched on their faces.

Xavi called out, "Alright, everyone! Gather around. We have a special guest joining us today."

As Xavi stood next to Emily, he leaned in and said, "Emily, can you introduce our guest?"

Emily nodded and stepped forward, her voice carrying across the training ground. "Everyone, please welcome our special guest..Andrés Iniesta!"

The entire team erupted into applause, their excitement palpable. Emily's eyes scanned the group and landed on Pedri. He was beaming, his smile wide and genuine, resembling a kid who had just met his hero.

She couldn't help but think to herself, "How the hell does he look cute and hot at the same time?"

Iniesta smiled graciously, waving to the team before Xavi guided him to join the training session. Pedri's eyes never left Iniesta, his admiration clear. Emily continued to capture the moment, knowing how significant this was for the players, especially Pedri.
