Madrid Life

Chapter 3

It had been 3 months since Gareth and I move in! Wow did the time fly! I was just lounging around in the house when the phone rang "Amber?! Phones for you!" Gareth screamed

"Who is it?!" I screamed back

"Just pick up the bloody phone" he retorted. I know what your thinking; but we're so close there's no way the two of us could fight over something so small! Well we do, you'll have to get over it because its true!

"Hello?" I spoke, not knowing who the person was to be ([N/A] or not to be. Sorry Shakespearean moment, back to my story)

"Amber get over here in the next 20 minutes and I'll... autograph a jersey for you? No that's lame you have my phone number. I got it, I'll let you meet my mum one day!" a clear accent sang through the phone. I was a wimp when it came to this man. Since he came to find me in the hallway that first day until now, we have been best friends, him and Pepe.

"What makes you think I'm not busy right now?" liar- I'm sitting on the couch watching old Tottenham games "What did you do? Why do you want me there so early?" I was puzzled but not an idiot. He needed something or he did something, plain and simple.

"Eu só estou realmente entediado! Eu sou um bom menino, eu prometo! E eu sei que você não está ocupado, porque me disse Gareth. Então, quando você sair, você poderia me garra um novo chapéu? Eu perdi a minha," ("I'm just really bored! I'm a good boy, I promise! And I know your not busy, because Gareth told me. So when you leave could you grab me a new hat? I lost mine,") he said shamefully. Why does he need a hat?! It's Spain and it's 37 degrees c. out!

"Por que não ir às compras e você pode comprar o seu próprio chapéu? Eu não preciso de nada, para que possamos fazer compras para você hoje!" ("Why don't we go shopping and you can buy your own hat? I don't need anything so we can be shopping for you today!") I told him. He knew I was trying to make him forget my birthday that was tomorrow.

"Precisamos pegar algo para vestir para seu aniversário! Você não pode sair assim tão fácil!" ("We need to get you something to wear for your birthday! You can't get out of it that easy!") he exclaimed. Why?! Why does the whole Madrid team what to buy me something? They al want to get me something I don't have. Well what about middle class friends, so they just get me a card?!

There are only 5 things I hate; one of them is people buying me things! Unless it's Gar, because he's my brother. "Eu não quero um presente de aniversário, só me como um cartão e um abraço. Seja normal para uma vez!" ("I don't want a birthday present, just get me like a card and a hug. Be normal for once!") I told him, by I knew this was not the end of it, him being him!

"Bem, eu só acontecerá a saber o que o irmão mais velho de vocês está ficando você! Eu tenho essa necessidade de melhorar-lo e levá-lo a melhor coisa do mundo!" ("Well I just happen to know what the big brother of yours is getting you! I have this need to better him and get you the best thing in the world!") he spoke truthfully.

"Sua me recebendo café! Eu te amo! se vamos para fora Eu preciso do meu café da manhã"," ("Your getting me coffee?! I love you! if we are going out I need my morning coffee,") I told him, that was a lie I had had four cups already. What?! I'm a coffee addict, could you blame me? That shit is like heaven on earth.

"É como se você só 13:00 levantar-se? Você costuma ter a sua primeira taça na bunda da madrugada!" ("It's like 1:00, you just get up? You usually get your first cup at the ass crack of dawn!") he pestered me, shit he caught me!

"I dormiram aqui em e foi a limpeza após Gareth, então eu tinha um chuveiro, não há tempo para o café," ("I slept in and was cleaning up after Gareth, then I had a shower, no time for coffee,") I lied through my teeth. Well I did shower, and sleep in a bit but only by a hour.
