[In the Shadows of Love] ~ Pedri.Gonzalez

Chapter 23

The next morning, Emily woke up looking for Pedri. She found him in the bathroom brushing his teeth. She came up behind him and hugged him. "Good morning," she said.

Pedri rinsed his mouth and kissed her on the head. "Good morning, love."

As Emily started brushing her teeth, Pedri picked up his shaving tool to shave his beard. Emily quickly rinsed her mouth, saying, "No, no, no!"

Pedri looked at her, confused. "What, Emily?"

Emily replied, "I don't want you to shave," as she took the shaving tool from him. Pedri laughed at her sudden insistence.

Pedri, still amused, asked, "Why don't you want me to shave?"

Emily smiled, "I just think it looks good on you. Why do you want to remove it anyway?"

Pedri shrugged, "Well, my mom says that I look better without it."

Emily chuckled, "You look handsome either way, but for now, keep it, please?"

Pedri laughed and nodded, "Alright, if it makes you happy, I'll keep it."

Emily grinned, giving him a quick kiss. "Thank you," she said, feeling content with their little compromise. They continued their morning, ready to enjoy another beautiful day together in Tenerife.

Pedri and Emily went downstairs for breakfast. Fer greeted them with a grin, "Finally, the lovebirds are here!"

Pedri's mom, Rosy, smiled warmly and said, "Good morning, kids. Come on, let's have breakfast."

Emily and Pedri joined the family at the table, where a delicious spread awaited them. They all sat down, enjoying the meal and the company.

As they enjoyed their breakfast, Pedri's mom said, "Today's plan is to meet some family and have lunch together. After that, I thought I'd leave you two to spend some alone time together."

Emily smiled, "That sounds amazing. I don't mind spending the whole day with everyone either."

Pedri choked on his juice, and Fer teased, "Well, I bet you do, Emily, but I think my brother might kill us."
