The bench // Pedri

Chapter Thirteen

As Pedro and Catalina entered the house, it was quiet, lights off. Sophie and Pablo were probably in Pablo's room. They both headed towards the kitchen, Catalina sat down on a stool while Pedro leaned back on the counter.

"Are you hungry ?" Pedro asked her

"No, not really, but if you're cooking than I'll eat some for sure" she smiled at him

"No, I'm not hungry either, how about we grab a few snacks and watch a movie in my room?"

Catalina nodded and they both got up to grab a few snacks to bring up to his room, putting everything into a bowl.

Pedro gestured for Catalina to sit on his bed as he took a blanket to lay over her. Afterwards, he opened his computer, seeing it was only on twenty percent, he looked for his charger.

"You can choose what we can watch" he said, handing her the computer "I'm quickly going over to Pablo's room to grab my charger, okay?"

Catalina nodded and he headed off to Pablo's room. He knocked, not wanting to interrupt something, hearing Pablo telling him to come in.

"Hola Pablo, and, Sophie. Can I please have my charger?"

Pablo got up from his bed, where they were both lying down. He handed Pedro his charger.

"I'm happy to see you've finally come back from the coffee shop" Pablo stopped, hearing a noise coming from the neighbouring room, Pedro's room. "Did you invite someone over?"

"Yeah I did, talking about that, I'm going to need some of those tips you were offering me the other day" Pedro whispered, ashamed of saying this in front of Sophie

"You mean the flirting tips?" Pablo whispered back already smiling teasingly at Pedro

"Yes that" Pedro whispered, looking over to Sophie, making eye contact.

Sophie found it suspicious that they had started whispering in the middle of their conversation. So she had decided to go on her phone to make it look less of obvious that she was trying to overhear their conversation. The last thing she had been able to hear was that Pedro had brought someone home, and the fact that they had started mumbling after that, made Sophie think it was a girl.

Sophie knew how Catalina really liked Pedro, so she thought she deserved to know. She went into her messages and sent one to Catalina.

Sophie
I know it's probably none of my business, but I thought you'd like to know that Pedro has someone over- a girl, I think

When Catalina received the message, she couldn't help but laugh. Her best friend, who was one room away, had no clue she was there, thought she was some random girl.

Before she could reply anything, she felt Pedro gently take her phone away before putting it in his pocket. He placed his hands, on both of her knees, as she sat on the edge of the bed.

She looked up, causing their faces to be a few centimetres away. She couldn't help but blush. She fought the desire to push her lips on this his as he spoke up.

"Have you chosen anything?" He asked her, looking into her eyes, destabilising her a lot.

"Uh, yeah. There's two that look nice. Comedy or horror ?" She asked him, turning her head, not being able to look at him anymore

Pedro moved his hands off her knees and plopped himself down on the bed, patting the space next to him for her to join him.

"It's been a while since I've seen some horror. Does that sound good?" He asked her as she sat down next to him

"Sure that's great"

The movie started and they were about ten minutes in when Pedro stopped it.

"I'm sorry, I totally forgot to ask you. Do you maybe want to change? I can hand you some sweats, even though they'd be too big in you, maybe it's more comfortable than what you have on now" he asked her

"No no, don't worry about it, I don't want to be bother" she told him

He stood up and gave her a hoodie and some sweatpants that would be her size the most possible. He locked his bedroom door before turning back to her

"I'm going to head into the bathroom so you can change, take your time" he told her before heading into the bathroom, just like he had said.

Catalina changed but then took a second to sit down. She had decided, tonight would be the night she would tell him. She couldn't keep on keeping this from him, especially considering how sweet and caring he was being with her.

She got up and knocked onto the bathroom door before telling Pedro "I'm done you can come out now, I'm just going to go quickly refill our glasses with some water, okay?" Pedro opened the door.

His gaze dropped to what Catalina was wearing. His clothes. He couldn't stop himself from thinking how beautiful she looked and how he'd like this to be a sight he'd see more often. Realising he had been staring and that she had probably caught on, he mumbled an okay and she left to the kitchen.

As she headed to the kitchen she bumped into a few things, the lights still off and the fact that she didn't know where the light switches were.

When she got in the kitchen, she stopped, her jaw dropping to the floor. There, on the counter, was Sophie sitting on the counter making out with Pablo standing in between her legs. Not wanting to interrupt them and being shocked, she turned around, but before she could take a step back towards the bedroom.

"Catalina ?" Sophie gasped, Catalina slowly turned around slowly, to see Pablo quickly create distance between him and Sophie.

Catalina acted like nothing had happened, going over to the fridge and filling her and Pedro's glasses up with ice cubes and fresh water.

"Catalina, I, we- uh" she heard Pablo say behind her, she turned to the both of them once she had finished filling up the second glass

"It's fine, I'm not a kid anymore. You guys don't have to be so awkward about it" she told them, seeing Sophie making a look that told: you're not really that old "But as for you Sophie, I'm really disappointed in the lack of trust you are giving in our friendship" she joked, smiling at her friend

"Says you! You could've told me it was you that was here!" She protested, smiling widely too

Catalina shrugged her shoulders "I wanted to see how long it would take you to tell me" she told her "for that you passed the friendship test" they both laughed "Anyways, I'm going to go back. And you know, tomorrow we have to get up early so, just, don't be too tired?" She joked as Pablo turned bright pink, making her laugh even more
