Before Us | Pablo Gavi

nineteen | HATE

📍 Barcelona, 7th August, 2022

It was currently much later in the day, the boys had already arrived at Camp Nou for the game, I arrived and headed to meet my boss, he told me what I'd have to do today, which wasn't a lot. At the end of the game I'd get to interview someone from the winning team.

"Ah Catie!" turning my head, I spotted the blonde girl, popcorn in hand, dressed in her jersey. She turned back apologising to someone for bumping into them , showing off number 21 on the back.

"Hola Mikky!" I walked up to her, giving her a quick hug. "I have to go get changed, I will meet you at the box" the girl nodded her head, walking off with Anna Lewandowska.

Inside the stadium I went to a toilet, going into the stall to get changed, while I was there I also fixed my hair and makeup.

I exited the bathroom before heading towards the dressing room to meet Pablo, I had to go outside to get to where he was. Luckily for me I didn't think too many fans had seen me yet, so I was under the radar. Soon enough I discreetly walked back into the building, now stood outside a red wall, the door blending in. I knocked once.

I heard a commotion inside, many men yelling not to come in, or close your eyes.

"Relajarse es solo Lena!" I heard Pablo's voice, shaking my head with a smile. The door opened, revealing Pablo.
[Relax it's only Lena!]

"Bon día Lena, entra" he stood back, throwing an arm inside, showing me in, I ducked inside, he closed the door, his arm finding its way over my shoulder. "Let's leave these fools" I jokingly rolled my eyes "Hola chicos" I gave a short wave to the group of men sat around the locker room.

My smaller hand held Pablo's back as his arm held me tightly against him, holding my waist. I looked up at him, smiling, with my eyes crinkled. He brought us out and towards the physio room.

"Ven, siéntate conmigo" He took a seat on the stretcher, I joined him, Pablo then lay down, bringing me with him, so I was lying on his chest.

"Estás bien cariño?" I asked him, my chin resting on his chest, my fingers interlocked on it also. He looked down at me, nodding his head. "Sí, solo me ayudas a relajarme"
[are you okay?] [Yes, you just help me relax]

The two of us lay in a comfortable silence, Pablo ran his hands through my hair and I kept my eyes closed, relishing in the moment. I knew we didn't have long left.

Then my phone rang. I could hear Pablo groan, causing me to giggle. "relajarse" patting Pablos chest, I sat up, answering the phone. "Sí?"

"Ah, sí, sí, un momento, estaré allí tan pronto"

I stood up, collecting my bag, Pablo kept my tote back with my clothes in it, to put it in his locker, I gave him a hug goodbye, before leaving I gave him a quick kiss on the lips, as if it was a normal, everyday occurrence.

I turned to walk out freezing in my spot, I couldn't bare to look back and see him, I couldn't see the disgust on his face, so I rushed out, stumbling into Lewandowski. "lo siento" I mumbled again, trying to get out as fast as possible. "Lena! Lena espera!" I didn't turn back, just quickly left the locker room, making my way towards the part of the stadium where I could find my seat.
