Chapter Twenty Five

"Hello?" A raspy voice called from the other end of the line. It sounded like he just sleeping a few moments ago. Oh god, did I or more like Sergio wake him up.

"Oh! Did I wake you?" I stared at Sergio in horror. It was bad enough I was taking, but waking him up was a different story.

Sergio just shrugged and got up. He went digging through the fridge. "You have no food in here."

"Shut up!" I said, forgetting Neymar was on the other side.

"Oh, sorry. Did I say something wrong?"

I mentally cursed. "No, no. I just have this inconvenient person at my place right now. What did you say before?"

He laughed. "I said, I was suppose to wake up an hour ago anyways, and thanks for waking me up. That's not sarcasm fyi."

I let out an awkward laugh. "Stop being so awkward Cass."

I flipped Sergio the bird. "That's good...? Anyways I'm calling just to say I'm sorry for being such an ass a few weeks ago and I was wondering if we could meet up sometime?"

"YES!" He answered quite fast and quite loud. "I mean, yes."

I giggled at his response. "Great! Las Ramblas tomorrow?"

"Perfect. My parents can watch Mariana if you like or we could bring her?"

"She's catching a bit of a cold, so I think it's better for her to stay indoors."

"Is she alright?" He questioned.

"She's a bit fussy since she can't breathe out of her noses, but it'll pass." Mariana caught a cold two days ago, and she's been fussy ever since.

"That's good. I'll see you both tomorrow alright. And I have to go eat or madre will kill me."

"Alright bye." I laughed, then I hung up.

"See that wasn't so bad." Sergio grinned. "I should be a matchmaker when I retire."

"I'm sorry to kill your vibe, but you'll be on the streets if you chose that path."

He rolled his eyes and walked to the door. "Anyways, I have to go. I'm not gonna win that match with no practice. Adios chica."

"I'm not gonna walk you out. Bye now."

Sergio popped his head back in the doorway. "Oh and have fun on your date with Junior." He winked.

"Go!" I glared, Sergio closed the door laughing. Which I could hear from inside. God my neighbors probably thinks there's some weirdo in building.

I leaned back against the couch and thought about tomorrow. It was going to be awkward, I knew it. We would walk in silence, have small talk then it would stop. But in all honestly, it's going to be worth it.
