In this together- Pablo Gavi

21/3

"We want money. We heard that your dad passed away and we did some kind of research to find you. You sold his house so you probably have money."

"You mean the money I had like one year ago? Yeaah, I don't have that anymore. I donated it." I said.

"Then you better get it!" She raised a voice again.

"What if I don't?" I said annoyed.

"Then we'll ruin your life. Piece by piece."

"Is this supposed to be threatening? You should maybe watch some movies. I am not scared of you 'ruining my life'."

"You think we're joking?" she was really pissed off. "Well, what about your best friend Pedro? Such a nice guy huh ? Wouldn't it be pitty if something happened?"

"What would you do?" I said.

"We've got someone who's close enough to him to hurt him. And then we could ruin your little boyfriend and then you. You would watch them suffer a lot and at the end you would suffer." she did explain me how would she ruin their lifes and at that point I got scared. Obviously she didn't tell me the whole plan, there was more to it.

"Listen to me. Leave Pedri and Pablo out of this alright?"

"Since we're kind enough, 100k euros and we will."

"What? I don't have that kind of money! I work at restaurant!"

"Your boyfriend does."

"You want me to steal my boyfriend's money?"

"Do whatever you want. We will contact you again. Maybe your mother will come next time." she said and walked off.

I went to my car and drove home. When I got home I saw Pedri and Pablo.

"Holá amor, you're back."

"Holá." I said and kissed him. It was impossible to hide my worried face.

"Pedri, would you mind giving me your phone unlocked?"

"Sure, why ?" he had a confused look on his face.

"Just please, I will explain later."

"Okay, here you go." he handed it to me.

"Thank you." I began to look at his messages with everyone. "Have you met someone recently?"

"Yes, why are you asking?"

"Can you tell me who it is?"

"Catalina Pérez."

"How long are you guys talking?" I said as I was searching for her name on his phone.

"Ams, can you tell me what's up? This is so weird? Like are you jealous?"

"What? No, I am not jealous. I have a boyfriend! So how long?"

"About three months?" he said.

"Okay." I was looking at their messages. "Pedri answer honestly, does she know where you live?"

"No, I haven't taken her to my home yet."

"How did you guys met?"

"Umm, Ams stop it." Gavi said as he was wrapping his hands around my waist.

"How did you guys met?" I repeated.

"Ami, por favor. What's happening? Why are you interrogating him?" Gavi said kindly. "He will tell us when he's ready. You weren't at Marco's house, were you?"

"Can you please Pedri tell me this last thing and I will answer all of your questions."

"Gavi you remember when I came to practice with spilled lemonade on my t-shirt?"

"Yes?"

"I wasn't looking and she wasn't looking too and we bumped into each other. I apologised, she did too. She was talkative and I was in a hurry so I gave her my contact and we started texting."

"Thank you Pedri." I said handing him his phone back. "Now it's your turn guys to ask me a questions."

"What was all this about?" Gavi asked. "Why did you take Pedri's phone and went through his messages? Were you really at Marco's house? Did you met Catalina and she told you? What happened? Where were you? Are you jealous of Catalina? Are you secretly in love with my best friend? What's going on? Did Catalina find your contact? Are you meeting someone new? You're scaring me!"

"Okay, that is too many questions. Maybe we should take it one by one?" Pedri said.

"Ams are you in love with Pedri?" Gavi said and looked at me.

"What ? No, I am not! I love you!" I said and I gave him a kiss to reassure him.

"Then what's this about? Why are you acting like this?"

"I am just trying to protect him. Pedri you can't talk to Catalina anymore"

"Why can't I talk to her? She seems friendly." he said.

"She got close to you and she will hurt you and I don't want that."

"Ams..." he took a deep breath. "I am careful, okay ? I know you care about me and I know you're afraid after Sara hurt me, but it's okay, I've got it."

"No, you don't." I started crying.

Pedri and Gavi looked at each other confused and then Pedri came to hug me.

"I've got this Ams." he tried to reassure me.

"No, Pedri you really don't. I don't want you to get hurt or Pablo."

"Baby? Why would I get hurt?" Gavi said as Pedri pulled away from the hug. Gavi pulled me into a hug, he placed his hand on my head and kissed my forehead. "Are you feeling okay? Come on, let's get some rest.  It's too much for you." he said and he was leading me upstairs to our bedroom. The boys were really confused and I wasn't able to tell them more.
After a while I did fall asleep.
