After dropping Pedri home I returned to my apartment to find Luca asleep on the couch.
If I didn't know him I'll say this is a normal thing, but knowing him, I know that he actually waited for me to get back home so I can tell him all about tonight.
Without deciding to wake him up, I covered him with a blanket and planted a kiss on his head.
I jumped in bed, ready to doze off to sleep but a message showed up on my phone screen.
unknown number
Thank you for tonight. I really enjoyed it.
me
I don't remember giving you my phone number😂😂
unknown number
A mutual friend😉
A mutual friend, Kylian Mbappe.
I decided to quickly save Pedri's number.
me
And he gave it to you?🤔😂
Pedri
I can be very persuasive😂😂
me
Clearly😂😂 But thank you aswell for tonight. I haven't had such a good time in a while. And it was truly my pleasure.😘
Pedri
I'll see you soon. Good night Irina😘
me
Night Pedri😊
I locked my phone and set it down on my nightstand. I turned around, a smile spreading across my face.
Since I can remember, Kylian, Luca, Neymar and Andrea were the only people that made me feel like home, until Kylian and Luca were the only ones that stayed. The only people I have left and the only people I'll never let go of. But now, Pedri just entered the scene and I couldn't not feel a sense of joy. He clearly had a good heart and tonight it felt more like catching up with a friend I haven't seen in ages rather than a date with someone I just met.

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing angrily. I groaned and answered it, my eyes still closed.
'Irina! Hola! Please tell me I didn't wake you up.' a very familiar voice was heard.
I opened my eyes, checking the time. 7:45am.
Damn.
Caro's name then popped up on the screen, waking me up completely.
'Hey. Is everything okay? Did something happen?' I asked worried.
Carolina will never call me this early unless there was an emergency and I was starting to freak out.
'Yes.' she said, making my heart skip a few beats. 'Davi is going to drive me crazy. He woke up at 7 and packed his bag ready to come to you.' I could hear the exhaustion in her voice.
'You scared me.' I chuckled lightly, relieved. 'I have work today—'
'SEE! She's busy. I told you, Davi.' Caro cut me off and told Davi, making me assume that I was on speaker.
'You didn't let me finish.' I laughed. 'I have work today but I'll send Luca right now to pick him up.'
'But you have work.' she said softly.
