I walk into my apartment and go to my suitcase that I left in my room when I got back from Naples in the morning.

I didn't necessarily think about the fact that I would arrive from Naples early in the morning, have to go to work and then leave an hour after getting home to London. It didn't help that I had to change the clothes I packed for Naples since Naples and London definitely do not have similar weather at this time of year.

I quickly change the short sleeves for long sleeves and shorts for long trousers. After making sure I'm not missing anything, I close my suitcase and walk to the front door just as I hear the doorbell.

I open the door and see Rosa. "How did you tan? It's literally February." she asked, confused as I let her in.

"It was sunny in Naples, and I spent all the time that Pedri was training outside in the sun." I shrug. "How long until we need to leave?"

She takes her phone out, looking at the time. "About fifteen minutes."

I show her a thumbs up as I turn to walk away but she grabs my hand which I showed her a thumbs up with quickly and gasps.

I turn around to her and see her look at the ring, a wide smile spreading on my face.

"He proposed?" she exclaimed loudly and I laughed.

"You're a little behind on this stuff, aren't you?" I ask and she furrows her brows at me. "An engagement ring goes on the left hand, this is my right hand. He got me a promise ring, it was all very romantic and sweet."

"Oh, wait." she says as she inspects. "No, hold on because that's so cute. It's a beautiful ring as well, wow."

"It is, isn't it?" I smile as she looks at it.

"I think I need to date a footballer." she whispers and I laugh.

"We're about to fly to another country to see the guy you're in a situationship with and you're talking about being with footballers?" I question. "Besides, I got really lucky with Pedri. You know how most footballers actually are."

"I'd chose a Pedri over Mark anyday." she says and I furrow my brows.

"Why?"

"Mark is, just, I don't know. Maybe he's like that naturally, but a little unbothered lets say. Like, we'll text and call all the time but that kind of bit of energy from him seems missing. Like, I'll see what Pedri does for you and it just makes Mark seem a little pathetic."

"Rosa, remember mine and Pedri's history." I say, taking her hands into mine. "He wasn't like this at first either, it took him a few months when we were first dating. Now he's like that because we've already dated so we both know what the other needs and wants. Don't worry, give him some time. Maybe tell him what you think when we're there."

"Yeah, okay, I will." I say. "I'll tell him to get his shit together."

I laugh, "something like that but maybe not that rudely."
