"Solis." Pedri whispers as I lift my head before glaring at him, "oh yikes." He jokes as I roll off of him.
"Shut up." I mumble as he leans up on his elbows.
"Do you want to come to the match?" He asks as I rub my eyes.
"Why wouldn't I?" I question as he clicks his tongue.
"Because you got in an argument with Daria and Nico," he begins as I look at him, "and your seats are with theirs." He adds as I look at his lips.
"They're not going tonight." I say as I sit up, stretching my arms back.
"They're not?" He asks.
"It's their anniversary, so they're going on a date or something, I just know they aren't going." I say as he sits up.
"You're going by yourself? Like sitting by yourself?" He questions as I furrow my eyebrows.
"Yeah? Why wouldn't I?" I ask as he shrugs.
"I don't know, I just didn't think you'd want to go by yourself." He admits as I smile.
"I haven't missed a home match in two years, and I do end up going by myself sometimes because I can still watch what I love. It doesn't matter if I'm alone." I say as he nods, "plus like I can talk to other people, mostly everyone knows who I am so I'm not like embarrassed about it."
"You're popular, hmm?" He questions as I roll my eyes, getting off the bed.
"Being the sister of the girl who dates the coaches son kind of gives me an in with people knowing me, plus being in the friend group on top of that." I say as I go into my closet.
"So popular." He says as I take off the sweatshirt I'm wearing, before grabbing the home and away jersey before I walk out of the closet.
"Which one?" I ask as he looks at them.
"Wear the away one." He says as I nod, going back into the closet as I quickly change.
"Which pants?" I ask as he gets up, coming into the closet as he begins going through my jeans.
I lean against the door as he grabs a pair before he comes over to me, holding them against me as he shakes his head, "terrible." He mumbles as he goes through more.
"I like those ones." I scoff as he grabs another pair.
"I do too, just not with that jersey." He shrugs as I stand up straight.
"Rude." I mutter as he comes over to me again, holding a new pair against me as he nods.
"These." He says as I take them from him and he begins looking through my shoes as I take off my shorts, putting on the light wash jeans.
"Do you have to go back to your place to change?" I question as he shakes his head.
"I'll find something in here." He says as he changes where he's looking to the side with all the guys' clothes.
"Perks of it I guess." I say as I grab a pair of shoes, setting them outside my closet door for later and I look back at Pedri as he's still looking through everything, going one by one, "if you go at that pace you'll be late you know."
He ignores what I say and he starts going through everything even slower as I roll my eyes, leaving my closet. I leave my room and go into the kitchen as I grab something to eat quick and I walk over to the window, looking in the driveway seeing Daria's car is gone and I let out a sigh of relief.
I'm not looking forward to a talk with her.
Hopefully I can get away from it until tomorrow, so ideally I'll go to Pedri's house after the match. The longer I can postpone it the better, that way it at least lets me think of what to say.
After a few minutes Pedri comes out to the kitchen and I look at what he's wearing. A pair of black pants and one of Gavi's sweatshirts, "what?" He asks as I furrow my eyebrows.
"Why do you always wear sweatshirts? Most of the guys basically dress up for it, like ale." I say as he shrugs.
"Nice sweatshirt, so it's okay." He says as I roll my eyes.
"Wait I'll be back." I say as I go back down the hall to my room and I take off the jersey, tossing it on the bed. I go in my closet and I find a black long sleeve and I put that on first. I then grab the jersey and put it on as I tuck it in and I walk back out to the kitchen as he's leaning against the counter on his phone.
He looks up from his phone and he smiles, "now you're like me." He says as he comes over to me, putting his fingers through the belt loops as he pulls me closer to him.
"You're just totally my idol, I want to be just like you." I smile as he looks at my lips.
"Yeah?" He asks as I take a deep breath.
God damn.
"Mmhmm." I hum as I take a step back but he immediately pulls me back to him, "don't you have to leave?" I ask as he shakes his head.
"Not yet." He replies as I furrow my eyebrows.
"That's a lie, you do have to leave." I say as he smiles, shaking his head.
"Mnh-mnh."
"Yes you do, go." I say as I push him back and he gives me a look before he grabs his keys.
"Are you coming over after? Or do you want to be here?" He asks as I click my tongue.
"You know my answer."
"My house it is." He says as he puts on his shoes as I go over to him, giving him a quick hug.
"Good luck." I say as he kisses the side of my head as he rubs my back quick.
"I'll look for you." He says as he pulls away from the hug before he gives me a kiss.
"Sounds good." I whisper as I wipe his bottom lip with my thumb as he watches me, "there you go." I add as I pat his shoulder and he tries not to laugh as he goes over to the door.
"I love you, bye." He says as he opens it before looking back at me quick.
"Bye now." I say as he nods slightly.
"One day!" He calls out as I smile and he leaves as I go over to the couch, sitting down as I go on my phone.
I quickly set an alarm for when I should leave and then I go in my texts, opening my chat with Daria as I stare at it, not sure if I should say anything or if she should apologize to me first. I look at it for about 30 seconds before I set my phone down next to me and I lean my head back against the couch as I stare up at the ceiling.
I'm still exhausted, even with the nap.
Likely it's mental exhaustion, but it's hard to accept that fact when I'm so adamant about being independent and being able to take care of myself even when that's not the case half the time. Especially lately.
Pedri said he wanted to feel like I need him, and right now there's no doubt in my mind he feels like I do. Because I really do. However, part of me feels like it'd be exhausting for him with all my problems and hearing about it, but if that's the case he's really good at hiding it.
I reposition so I'm laying down and I pull the blanket over me as I take a deep breath. I miss Pedri already.

I literally don't know when I'm going to end this book tbh, the last two I aimed for 50 but that's literally next chapter and I know for a fact it's not going to end yet. So who actually knows what will happen!
