Pedri's POV

Gabriela:
So, Pedri
Following your wishes and ideas for this proposal, I couldn't find any place where I could put it all together

Pedri:
Really?
What am I gonna do
I'm done if this doesn't turn out perfectly

Gabriela:
Yeah, that's where you're wrong

Pedri:
What do you mean?

Gabriela:
I mean that I found the perfect solution after all, dumbass

Pedri:
And what is it?

Gabriela:
You have a pretty large backyard, and that pool that you barely used recently is going to help

Pedri:
I want to marry her, not to drown her

Gabriela:
Sometimes I wonder what she even saw in you
But anyways
We're gonna remove the decor we won't be needing and cover the pool with glass, then add some flowers, that are gonna look amazing on some columns, and I have to think about the lightning

Pedri:
You saved my ass so many times, I owe you a big one

Gabriela:
Or more

Pedri:
Of course

Gabriela:
I'll stop by tomorrow to take a better look at the space we have and I'll give you a plan of it, how it's going to look

Pedri:
Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Gabriela:
How's the search for the ring?

Pedri:
Ehm, I haven't started yet

Gabriela:
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS?

Pedri:
Woah, woah. Take it easy, I have a job I have to attend and I didn't find the right time, I don't want to buy something just to be bought

Gabriela:
You're taking Evelyn and look for it, I don't care how long it's going to take
I might finish my work sooner than yours

Pedri:
I just want it to be perfect, that's all

Gabriela:
Or are you stalling?

Pedri:
What? Why would I do something like that?

Gabriela:
I don't know, that's why I'm asking

Pedri:
As I said, I want to be there completely when I go and buy this ring, I want to get something that she adores every time she looks at it, I want it to be perfect
I never saw myself doing such things, being in this place, feeling the way I do now, and it's all because of her

Gabriela:
Good then
That's all I wanted to hear

Pedri:
But why would you think that?

Gabriela:
Because it's a big step and this will completely change your lives

Pedri:
And I'm aware of that

Gabriela:
And like you said, I never saw you thinking like that about anyone
And you need to be sure of everything, your state, your wishes, your feelings

Pedri:
My relationship with Ariana showed me everything I needed to know about everything and more you mentioned, especially of her as a person, and she is the one I want by my side
But I feel like this isn't about me anymore
Are you okay? With Gavi, and this?

Gabriela:
Now, why would you ask that?

Pedri:
Idk, just to know

Gabriela:
That card can be used only by me

Pedri:
Nah, what's going on?

Gabriela:
This isn't about me, really
I'd rather not talk about this, I don't want to ruin your moment

Pedri:
The fuck are you talking about? Since when do we keep things away from each other?
Tell me, what's wrong?

Gabriela:
You know, it's all fun and games with me and Gavi, we've been together already for fucking 4 years and God I wish there will be more
But we never talked about this seriously

Pedri:
Because Gavi isn't the one to express his feelings that easily, and we both know that

Gabriela:
Fair enough, you're right
But I need to know where this is going, you know?

Pedri:
Gabby, don't forget one little detail

Gabriela:
And what's that?

Pedri:
While Gavi knew you were safe in his arms, I had to wonder if Ariana would be safe the next day she would call me on her way to her classes
While you and Gavi were together since you were teenagers, I met Ariana at a moment when we already knew we had some plans made for ourselves, without considering that we might meet someday
I know, we're only 23, and it might feel rushed, but you don't know what it's like to try to go to sleep and wonder if she's also sleeping or praying for her life
That made me realize some things and how much I could love her
I had to count the days until I could finally see her again, until she would sacrifice her future just to be here with me
I still feel guilty for taking her away from everything she had
And I feel like this is the way I could show her my pure and honest feelings for her, to show her that it was worth it, everything
Gavi is so lucky that he never had to go through what I went through

Gabriela:
Now I feel so ashamed for bringing this up

Pedri:
No, it's totally valid what you're feeling
But don't doubt his love for you
Because he loves you more than you can imagine, and I promise you, your time is coming too

Gabriela:
You're mean for making me cry, you know that?

Pedri:
Come on, don't be silly
It's going to be alright, I just know that

Gabriela:
You know what, Pedri? I'm so glad you found her

Pedri:
More like you found her for me

Gabriela:
I'm serious, when you were with that bitch I tried so hard to like her, there was always something about her that was simply off
But Ariana, she's such a lovely person, you can see it in her eyes

Pedri:
Marina was a lesson, she was lonely and desperate for material things while I was alone and in need of love, and now that I look back, she helped me open my eyes to some things
But Ariana? Damn
I never thought I could ask anyone to be my girlfriend just after two weeks, but it felt safe to do so

Gabriela:
When it's meant to be, you just know it
You feel it, deep down
I wish I could continue this conversation with you, but tomorrow it's going to be a long day

Pedri:
We'll see each other tomorrow anyway, so no worries
Good night, Gabby
And thank you for everything

Gabriela:
Pedri, please, don't
Good night to you too
