Torn | Marco Asensio & Andre Silva {ON HIATUS}

Seven | Date

      'Okay, remember I'm only letting this slide because someone,' Rui said rolling his eyes in Cristiano's direction, 'somehow convinced me so, you're welcome. I swear though Luna, if he hurts you.' Rui threatened and Cris just grabbed both of his shoulders.

     'Calma rapaz.' Cris smiled at me and I turned red. I was going to tour Lisboa and have dinner with Andre tonight and I was quite nervous. One, because it was Andre Silva and he's gorgeous. Two, because I was having conflicting feelings and I was scared of truly falling for Andre. I pushed Marco to the back of my head and tried to be excited for my date.

     'Okay so, you have money, your phone is charged, ID, keys, and that's it right ?' Rui said doing a check list making me laugh.

     'Yes I have everything relax.' I said and the doorbell rang as I finished my sentence. Cris got the door and Andre came in. He was wearing black skinny jeans, a black shirt, a black bomber jacket with the sleeves pushed to his elbows, and white low top nike airs. He was so attractive without having to try too hard and I was shook.

      'Olá.' He smiled at everyone who was by the front door. Cris smiled, Rui looked at him too hard, Vera was shook too, and little João just hugged him.

      'Ate logo!' I smiled at Rui and he just shook his head while Cris gave a thumbs up to us. I was wearing pink strap heels, a jean skirt, and a pink over the shoulder shirt. My hair was straightened and slicked back, I had a minimal amount of makeup because it was hot and I didn't have my water proof makeup, and I was going to sweat. One we were a safe distance from the house Andre turned and stopped me.

      'It would've been awkward if I said this inside but you look beautiful.' He said and I turned so red.

      'Yeah it would've been awkward if I said you look super hot inside too.' I said but mentally slapping myself again because I never said the right things to Andre. He just smiled and kissed my cheek as he lead me to the car again. Once we were situated he typed some location into his phone and we were off. Once we reached the city the sun was still out but it was still just as beautiful.

      'Okay so, I was thinking we can walk down the shopping district then eat by the water once it gets a bit darker to watch the sunset.' He smiled as we walked out of the parking lot.

     'That's sounds amazing.' I smiled at him and analyzed his features. His sharp jaw and facial hair brought his face together when it was tense but like this he was relaxed. He had a slight smile that illuminated all of his features making my stomach erupt with butterflies.

     'Perfect.' He said looking at me but he didn't have to look down as usual because of my heals.

     'So down to the right they usually have tables set up like a praça , or like a garage sale but high end. The left is the same thing but straight up is the bridge and Rio Tejo.' He said pointing things out and I craned my head to look and observe. Portugal was beautiful and it reminded me of Italy so it felt like home right away. I remembered to a time where I thought I was Italian and now looking at it, I couldn't feel more Portuguese.

      'What are you thinking?' He asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

     'A lot, mainly that I spent eighteen years of my life believing I was Italian.' I laughed a bit and he made a sad face.

    'Wait, it's not, okay listen. I'm sure Rui has said the story but mine was a bit different. Literally almost a year ago I was in New York city, and my life was totally different. I was told I was Italian and I went every year to visit family there.' I clarified and he understood.

    'Well here you are, your life was flipped upside down. Did you watch a lot
of soccer before?' He questioned as we walked to the water.

     'Actually yes, I always looked up to Cristiano. Italy didn't make it to the Euro Cup Final in 2016 so I rooted for Portugal. Coincidence right?' I laughed and he chuckled.

    'Yeah, well they beat us multiple times, so you're a traitor.' He laughed and I pretended to be hurt.

    'Never.' I pushed him lightly. He smiled at me and we stayed there just looking at each other for a while until the sun was starting to go down and we wanted to be at the restaurant for that.

    'Quantas pessoas?' The waiter asked kindly.

    'Duas.' Andre smiled and the men led us to the outside along the water.

    'This is really beautiful Andre, thank you so much.' I smiled and he just waved it off.

   'It's my pleasure honestly. This has been one of my best nights in a while.' He was looking through the menu now. I smiled to myself and pulled my phone out to take a nice picture of the water and the orange and pink sky. I took a few and Andre did the same before taking one of me making me turn red.

    'Hey, now to be fair I have to take one of you.' I smiled and since he was facing his back to the sunset the colors reflected on his face so perfectly. He smiled widely as I snapped it. When the food came we ate and spoke some more as we got to know each other. My face was starting to hurt from smiling and laughing so much by the time we got back to the car. I felt like I was on cloud 9 at this point.

    'Stop, you're lying!' I practically shouted covering my mouth so I wouldn't disturb the quiet city.

    'I swear I'm not, I actually cried when Santos told me I was being called up.' He chuckled leaning in while he laughed.

    'I would too though.' I stated and he nodded. Once we started driving and the radio was on I felt the night escaping my grasp. It went by so fast I felt like we hadn't even had dinner yet. He was humming to a song and my heart was soaring just hearing his soft lull.

     Once we were on Rui's block I felt my heart plummet. I didn't want to go home, I wanted to just stay with Andre and feel like i'm back in high school with a silly crush. Once we pulled up he sighed deeply then got out. I did the same and shut my door as he waited for me next to the passengers side. We walked in silence to the door but before I opened it he stopped me.

    'I wanted to say I had a great time and I really hope we can do this again while you're here. You looked beautiful as always princesa.' He kissed my cheek and walked back to the car. I felt my heart skip a million beats as he drove off. I was smiling as I entered the house and noticed Rui was sleeping on the coach, he must've waited up for me. I smiled at him and covered him with a blanket as I head to my room. I got ready for bed but before I fell asleep I posted the picture of Andre and captioned it , 'I don't know what view was better ;)' tagged him, then went to bed smiling.
