Camila's POV
"What the heck just happened?" Fermin exclaimed, his jaw dropped in disbelief.
"Yeah, what the tf?" Pablo added, his eyes wide and filled with shock.
"Guys, sit down. A lot has happened since we all moved in together," I began, feeling a whirlwind of emotions. "I liked him. Pedri was the first person I could really open up to, even more than you guys. But, of course, Justin always got in the way. I messed it up with him."
"Wait, so is Pedri the one you friend-zoned?" Ale asked, raising an eyebrow, a hint of amusement on his face.
"Yeah," I admitted, feeling a wave of embarrassment wash over me.
"Wait, when did you guys get together?" Fermin leaned in, genuinely curious.
"The night of my birthday," I said with a smile, the memory flooding back. "It was the best gift I could have asked for. Everything felt so perfect."
Suddenly, I remembered something important. "Wait, Pedri's here!" I said, my heart racing with excitement. I dashed to my room, rifling through my things until I found the gift I had brought back from Italy.
"Pedri, come here!" I called out, my voice a mix of urgency and joy.
When he appeared in the doorway, I felt my heart skip a beat. "Here, I got you this." I held out the bracelet, my hands trembling slightly. It was a matching set—his engraved with "Colón" and mine with "González." "I wanted us to have something that connected us, something special. Something that says we're in this together."
His eyes lit up as he took the bracelet. "Camila, this is amazing! I missed you so much, and I want you back. I want you back, for real this time." The sincerity in his voice sent shivers down my spine.
In that moment, I moved closer, and before I knew it, I kissed him—softly at first, then deeper as the world around us faded away. It felt like time stood still, and all the worries I had melted away. In that kiss, I felt everything I had longed for—the connection, the passion, the promise of something beautiful.
But then reality crashed back in. "I have to go; I have a team meeting," I said, pulling away reluctantly, breathless and slightly dazed. "But I'll see you all later!"
"Guys, I'm back! Where are you all?" I called out, looking around the house. It was quiet, and I felt a mix of excitement and curiosity. I headed to the kitchen, hoping to find someone there.
As I entered, I noticed a girl with straight brunette hair standing by the sink. "Umm, hi!" I said, setting my water bottle down.
"Hi, I'm Maria," she replied, giving me a friendly smile.
"Oh, hi! I'm Camila. Have you seen any of the boys?" I asked, hoping for some news about where everyone was.
"I think Fermin and Pedri went out. Ale, Ansu, and Ferran are all sleeping, and Joao is upstairs with Pablo. I'm just hanging out with Gavi," she explained.
"Gavi?" I repeated, feeling a bit relieved to know someone was around. "Oh, okay! I'll be in my room, but it was nice meeting you, Maria!"
I headed to my room, feeling a wave of familiarity wash over me. As I started unpacking, I arranged everything how I needed it to look—my clothes, my books, and little mementos that reminded me of home.
After I got everything settled, I felt the exhaustion from the long day catch up with me. I lay down on my bed, letting the comfort of my surroundings lull me into a peaceful nap. As I drifted off, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of seeing everyone again soon and what the next few days would bring.
, I got up and headed straight to the bathroom to shower. The warm water felt rejuvenating as I washed my hair, letting the stress of travel melt away. Once I finished, I followed my curly hair routine, bringing back those familiar, bouncy curls I loved.
When I stepped out of the bathroom, the delicious aroma of dinner wafted through the house. I walked outside to see all the boys gathered around a table, laughter and chatter filling the air.
"Hey, guys!" I called out, a smile spreading across my face.
"Hey!" they all responded in unison, their voices cheerful.
"Are you hungry?" Joao asked, glancing over at me with a plate in his hand.
"No, I'm not, but I'll eat soon," I replied, feeling a little lightheaded from the travel.
I made my way over to sit next to Maria, who was chatting with Gavi. "Hey again!" she said, looking genuinely pleased to see me.
"Hey! Wait, why do you look so familiar?" I asked, squinting at her.
"I played for Atletico Madrid," she explained, her face lighting up. "I just got an offer for Barca last month, and I start training tomorrow!"
"Oh, cool!" I said, genuinely impressed. "That's awesome! Welcome to the team!"
"Thanks!" she replied with a smile, and we shared a moment of excitement about our new beginnings.
Just then, I felt a wave of exhaustion hit me. "Are you okay, Camila?" Pablo asked, concern etched on his face.
"No, I'm fine. I'm just... going to sleep," I said, trying to shake off the fatigue. "Goodnight, everyone!" I waved as I turned to head back inside.
As I walked away, I couldn't shake the feeling that everything was changing. The boys were settling into their new routines, and I was finding my place again. I just hoped that when I woke up, I'd feel a little more like myself.
