The heart wants what it wants • Pedri gonzáles

Chapter 7 • tension

Luisa pov

I just got back home after getting some groceries, I'm the only one without a job so I tried to do as much as I could in the house to be some sort of useful. Earlier in the morning when we all had breakfast Maria suggested to Pedri if he could look if the club had a job open for me. I didn't have any work experience yet but I was willing to try anything, and I love sports so it wouldn't be the worse.

I made my way to the kitchen to start preparing for dinner and when I set the groceries on the kitchen counters I saw a small box with luisa written on it. I grabbed it and wondered what or from who it could be, the box wasn't light nor heavy. I opened the box and was pure in shock to find the newest iPhone 14 pro max inside it. What the hell where did this come from I wondered. I turned it on and after shortly starting up I could see there already was a message on the Home Screen so I opened it and started reading.

I knew if I had giving you this personally you wouldn't have accepted it so I had to do it this way instead. I want you to have it please take it ... just pretend it's an early birthday present since I know you probably think it's a lot...

I tabbed in the corner to see the profile picture and I already had a suspicion of course, but the picture confirmed it: pedri

Speechless is the right description of how I felt, and he was right I wouldn't have taken it from him and my birthday isn't for two months so you can definitely say early.

pain in the bottom and sides of my lower stomach started during the preparations and it was getting heavier and heavier. Sweat started to form on my head and upper body and I already knew what time it was... period time great. They have been very heavy the moment I got them when I was 15 and passed out twice because of them.

I took some medicine changed my shirt for a top and plopped down on the couch with teary eyes from the pain, waiting if the medicine will actually work. The front door opened and Pedri walked in and frowned when he noticed the state I was in."Hi"

"Hey" I weakly said greeting him back

"What's up with you?" He asked and I felt another wave of pain coming up again which you can feel going all the way in your back. I looked away and rolled to my side and grabbed my knees so they were close to my chest, I feel like it usually slightly helps for a tiny bit and also now he couldn't see the tear falling down my cheek which I was so hard trying to hold in.

"My Period came"

"Oh uhh is it safe to sit here then or are you going to murder me since I've heard girls turn horror mode on in their periods" he said laughing and sat down beside me and as soon as he looked over me he stopped laughing probably noticing the tears. "I'm sorry I didn't mean it, that was stupid"

"It's fine" he probably isn't familiar with situations like this so I just ignored it and closed my eyes trying to focus on my breathing.

"Let me help you" he suggested but how on earth is he going to help me. "How?" I asked and tilted my head a bit to look his way.

"Get on your stomach" I wanted to make a comment but couldn't even be bothered to go against it so I just did as he said and laid down on my stomach.

"This is something that always worked wonders on me when my physiotherapist did it, I've seen them do it a lot so I'm sure I'll be able to do it on you" Can I sit on your legs?" He asked and I nodded.

I could feel him climbing over me, his knees next to my sides and he sat down on my upper legs. I felt his thumbs on the sides of my spine and he applied pressure moving downwards with his knuckles. I felt my muscles relax as he continued working wonders on my back.

"Good?" He asked and I hummed in response

Some minutes passed and I turned around when I could feel him finish and stared at him above me, a sort of tension was noticeable I couldn't describe it but started talking to cut it a bit

"Thank you for the phone you didn't have to do that but you still did" I said and I truly meant it, it's the biggest gift I've ever received and it meant a lot that after I told him about it he basically immediately put effort to get me one.

"It's truly the least I could do" Pedri said looking down at me, his bright brown eyes told me he meant it. They are like a book, so far I learned that every emotion is readable in his eyes. 

"But you didn't have to" he has surprised me with his latest actions, especially since he told me yesterday he didn't care for me

"It's nothing" and even though he made it sound like it was nothing his eyes spoke the truth. I couldn't help but to keep staring, my gaze couldn't leave his. He wiped the dried on hairs from my cheek that got now stuck on it because of the tears that have dried up there, chills going down my back and arms.

The front door opened and Fer walked in earlier then usual, Pedri immediately turned to sit next to me and we greeted him.

He frowned and looked confused as if he wanted to ask something but Pedri already explained "her period came her back hurted so I did some physiotherapy to help"

"Aah okay do you need anything more? I could go get some medicine?" He sweetly offered obviously also wanted to help with something.

"No thanks I have plenty more but you could help me with dinner in a bit?" The reason why I asked him and not Pedri is quite simple Fernando works as chef and Pedri sucks in the kitchen.

"Sure thing I'll go take a shower and be down in a bit"
