"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Rosa asks me as she sits down on my sofa.

"I was going to say," I start, sitting up, "I'm going to Naples tomorrow."

"Without me?" she exclaims.

"I'm going for the match." I say. "With Pedri."

"You're so lucky." she huffs, crossing her arms across her chest as she leans back into the sofa. "Maybe I should date a footballer. Can you introduce me to one of his friends?"

I laugh but she just frowns. "Focus on yourself and Mark."

"Bro's boring." she says. "He's not making any moves."

"He invited us to London though. I just remembered, what even happened with that?" I ask.

"He said he couldn't." she sighed. "He asked if we can come this weekend, though."

"That can be done." I say, nodding. "I can check tickets, if you want."

Her face immediately lights up and she smiles. "Actually?"

"Yeah." I get up, taking my laptop from the coffee table. "What part of London do they even live in?"

"Westminster." she says and I look at her blankly.

"Yeah, I'm gonna need a rough proximity to the centre. I don't know where that is." I say and she laughs.

"Basically the centre." she says and I nod, starting up my laptop.

"We're getting a hotel or," I ask, trailing off.

"Mark said we can stay at his place but if you feel weird we can get a hotel." she says.

"No, it's fine." I say. "He does have a guest bedroom, right?"

She laughs at me. "Yes, he does."

"Then, it's fine." I say.

We book the tickets for Friday evening and then I turn off my laptop. "Don't worry about paying me back for your ticket."

"Stop." she says. "I'm gonna pay you back, I don't care."

"It's not even much." I say.

"For you, maybe." she says and I furrow my brows.

"More of a reason to not pay me back." I say. "Don't even try."

"I'll feel bad that I'm taking you to London for me to see the guy I like and you pay." Rosa says but I just wave my hand.

"I like doing this." I say. "Take it as a birthday gift."

"My birthday is in October." she says simply.

"An eight month early birthday gift." I smile and she rolls her eyes, shaking her head.
