Pedri's POV:

I saw Irina's eyes lit up at the sound of someone's voice. A massive smile spread across her face and I wished I could just take a picture of this moment and keep it forever.

There is something about her. Something I can't wrap my finger on. She didn't seem affected by my presence since she found out who I am. The way she rolled her car window down on our first encounter, and shouted at me from the top of her lungs... that says a lot about the type of person she is.

Fearless. Brave. Different.

Not trying to sound so full of myself, but people that visit or live in Barcelona tend to know it's the home of one of the best football clubs in the world. And they tend to recognise the players. They start screaming and freaking out the moment they encounter us.

I know being a football player comes with a lot of pros and cons. It comes with the fame, which is not a bad thing being recognised here and there, but I'm the type of person who likes to keep a low profile and my head in the game.

My friends tell me this is the biggest opportunity to find girls and mess around, and that people would give anything to be in my position. But from my point of view, it's harder to meet the right girl because of the fame.

Only if she would acknowledge me the way I acknowledge her.

Irina's POV:

Recognising the voice instantly, I completely ignored everyone and everything and rushed towards the Golden Boy.

I wrapped my arms around his waist, tears forming in my eyes.

Oh, how I missed him.

Since I left PSG, me and Kylian started getting along really well. Always talking, checking up on eachother... So him being here right now, being able to touch him and see that stupid smirk live once again... was something I missed terribly.

'Don't tell me you're going all soft on me now.' he said mocking me, with a smile on his face.

I backed away, taking in everything that he was. 'What-how-when...' I couldn't find the right words.

'You forget I have a private plane.' he said smugly, making me hit him playfully.

'Did you know?' I turned my attention towards Luca, who was looking at us with his arms crossed, a smile on his face.

'Maybe.' he shrugged his shoulders.

Kylian walked towards the till, acknowledging Pedri. By the look they gave eachother, it seemed to me like they've met before. Or played together before.

'What a small world.' Kylian said shaking Pedri's hand.

'It's good seeing you.' Pedri smiled.

Kylian then approached Luca and gave him a big hug.

'Missed me that much?' Luca said laughing.

'You have no idea.' Kylian smiled.

I quickly gave Pedri his order, who to my surprise didn't leave, but took a seat at one of the tables. Kylian joined him, probably talking about things football related.

Or at least I hoped.

Diego suddenly appears behind me, the expression on his face priceless.

'I've been gone for an hour.' he said confused. 'An hour!' he eyes met mine, making me laugh. 'And Kylian Mbappe is seating at the table with Pedri Gonzalez.'

'The perks of working for a football club.' Luca said patting him on the back.

***

After a while, Pedri decided to finally leave, saying bye to all of us, making Kylian return to me and Luca.

'Kylian, this is Diego. Diego, this is-'

'Kylian Mbappe.' Diego said cutting me off. 'The pleasure is all mine.' he said shaking his hand. 'Wow.'

Me and Luca started chuckling.

'Who are you going to bring next?' Diego turned towards me, shaking his head smiling.

'This is all you get kiddo.' I said ruffling his dark brown hair.

***

We closed the cafe at around 8pm and we were now on our way to my apartment.

'I can't believe both of you are here.' I said glancing at Luca then at Kylian.

'Eyes on the road, princess.' Kylian said laughing. 'I don't really want to die.'

'Yeah, well, she did try kill Pedri as soon as she saw him.' Luca said laughing.

'What? How?' Kylian chuckled.

'Ain't my fault he doesn't know how to drive.' I rolled my eyes. 'What did you two speak about?' I said glancing at him through the rear view mirror.

'Why do you want to know?' Kylian smirked.

'I'm just making conversation.' I shrugged my shoulders.

'Because she's interested in him.' Luca said laughing.

'I am not!'

'Wait...' Kylian said widening his eyes. 'Another one?'

'No.' I shook my head laughing. 'Luca is just being stupid.'

***

Rest of the night was spent in, both of us catching up and laughing. Luca filled him in about Pedri, rolling my eyes almost every time they exchanged stupid jokes about it.

'So how long are you staying?' I asked the Golden Boy.

'I have an event to attend tomorrow.' he shrugged his shoulders. 'And then I'm off. The team needs me.'
I smiled at him softly, not wanting him to go just yet. 'But I'll visit you soon.' his eyes met mine. 'I promise.'

'You better.' I demanded.

'How long do you plan on staying here?' Kylian asked, slapping the back of Luca's head.

'Sorry, no hablo ingles.' Luca laughed.

'The team needs you as much as they need me.' Kylian shook his head. 'Hell, I need you.'

'Is this a bromance I sense?' I asked excitedly.

'Well, you did tell us to take care of eachother.' Luca rolled his eyes. 'He couldn't help but fall in love with me.' we all bursted out laughing.

'Do you guys want to come tomorrow?' Kylian asked seriously.

'Are we even allowed?' Luca said taking a bite of his cheeseburger.

'Of course.' Kylian smiled. 'You'll be my plus twos.'

'I don't know...' I shook my head.

'Come on...' Kylian pleaded with his eyes. 'I know you want to. It'll be just like old times.'

'Don't be boring.' Luca threw a fry at me.

After a few moments of silence, and of me deciding whether I should go or not, I finally gave in.

'Just like old times.' I said smiling.

The boys both jumped on me excitedly, leaving me breathless.

'Okay, I can't breath.' I said through laughter.

'Sorry, sorry.' They both said at the same time, getting up.
