The sun begins to dip below the horizon, casting a warm, golden hue over the busy streets of Barcelona. You walk along the sidewalk, your heart racing with excitement as you make your way to the local park.
It’s a place where you often escape the chaos of life, and today, there’s an added thrill: Pedri is meeting you here.
You remember the first time you saw him play. His grace on the field, the way he navigated through defenders like he was dancing to a rhythm only he could hear.
From that moment on, he became someone you admired—not just for his skills but for the way he seemed to play with pure joy. It’s that joy you hope to capture today.
Arriving at the park, you spot him sitting on a bench, wearing a casual outfit that only emphasizes his youthful charm. His hair is tousled, and there’s a warm smile on his face as he waves at you, a gesture that sends butterflies flitting around in your stomach.
As you approach, your mind races with all the reasons you like him.
The first is his determination. You’ve seen how hard he works on and off the pitch, always pushing to be better, to learn more. The passion he brings to every training session, every game—it’s contagious. Being around him makes you want to chase your dreams just as fervently.
“Hey!” he calls out, standing up as you reach him. His voice is friendly and warm, making you feel instantly at ease.
“Hi! Thanks for meeting me,” you reply, your heart fluttering a little more with each passing moment.
Then there’s his humility. Despite all the accolades and attention, Pedri remains grounded. You admire how he interacts with fans, always taking the time to chat, to sign autographs, to share a laugh. It’s a quality that feels rare among stars, and it draws you to him even more.
“I thought we could kick the ball around a bit,” he suggests, pointing to a nearby patch of grass. “What do you think?”
“Sounds great!” You can hardly contain your excitement.
As you walk together, you can’t help but notice how easily he transitions from a superstar to just a regular guy. It’s as if the pressures of the world fall away when he’s with you. It’s that relatability that makes him so special. You share stories, jokes, and laughter, forgetting about everything else.
And then, there’s his kindness. In every interaction, he shows genuine interest, listening intently to your stories and sharing bits of his life in return. The way he looks at you, as if you’re the only person in the world at that moment, makes you feel valued and important.
“Do you play?” he asks as you reach the grassy area, picking up a ball.
“A little,” you admit, feeling a bit shy.
“But I’m nowhere near your level.”
He chuckles softly, a sound that sends warmth through you.
“It’s all about having fun! Let’s just enjoy it.”
With that, he starts dribbling the ball, showing off his incredible footwork. You watch in awe, and suddenly, you’re filled with admiration for not just his talent but the way he carries himself. He makes you want to believe in yourself, too.
After a while, he tosses you the ball. “Your turn!”
You kick it, a bit clumsily, but he laughs and encourages you, reminding you that everyone starts somewhere. You feel lighter, more carefree than you have in ages.
As the sun sets, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple, you both collapse onto the grass, breathless and happy.
You think about the little things. The way he wipes sweat from his brow, the way his laughter lingers in the air, and how he shares those fleeting moments of joy with you. It’s in these moments that you realize just how much you like him.
“I’m really glad we did this,” you say, glancing over at him. He meets your gaze, and there’s a spark in his eyes that makes your heart skip a beat.
“Me too. We should do it again,” he replies, a genuine smile spreading across his face.
As you sit together, basking in the fading light, you know you’ve found something special in him—not just an athlete you admire from afar, but a friend who makes you feel alive. And in that moment, you can’t help but think that maybe, just maybe, this is the beginning of something even greater.
In the end, it’s all these moments, the laughter, the kindness, the passion, that add up to a million reasons why you like him. And as the stars begin to twinkle in the night sky, you can’t wait to see what tomorrow holds.
