After 30 minutes of trying to find that damn key, I hear Luca shouting.

'Finally!' he said relieved.

'Thank God.' I let out a sigh. 'That kid did this on purpose.' I chuckled.

'You think?' Luca asked sarcastically.

***

We sorted out everything for the customers and opened the cafe's doors to the public.

The cafe wasn't very busy like it normally is. Me and Luca were serving customers and talking to them, some were tourists, some locals and some loyal customers.

After a while, Pedri walks in with a bright smile.

'Irina.' he nodded his head at me. 'Irina's bestfriend.' he nodded at Luca.

'Luca. It's Luca.' he smiled. 'But I guess that'll do too.'

'Nice to officially meet you.'

'Yeah.' Luca nodded his head.

'The usual?' I asked with a smile.

'Mhmhm.'

Luca went straight to preparing Pedri's usual order, leaving me with him. We were both silent, looking into eachother's eyes with crooked smiles.

Awkward.

'What are you doing today?' I asked suddenly, a shock expression appearing on his face.

'Nothing, I... erm.. I just have trainingโ€”' Pedri started going off, his words coming out like he just learned how to speak.

'Well I'm free later on.' I smiled, cutting him off. 'And I'll probably get really hungry at one point so maybe we can grab something to eat.'

'Oh, yeah, okay, that's...' he said swallowing the knot in his throat. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down, a smile returning on his face. 'I have training until 7pm, is that okay with you?'

'Yeah, that's perfect.' I nodded my head. 'I'll pick you up.'

'You are?' he asked confused.

'Is there a problem?' I asked even more confused.

'No.' he shook his head. 'That's very fine with me.'

I handed him his order and he left.

'That was weird.' I turned towards Luca who was silently laughing.

'That boy is not even ashamed to show you how nervous he is around you.' Luca shook his head, laughing. 'That's adorable.' he said childlike.

***

After a few more hours of working, Luca turned towards me. 'You should really get home so you can start getting ready.'

'I'll have time. I might just go in this.' I said gesturing to my outfit who wasn't very appealing.

'Irina.' he said sternly, a look of disgust taking over his face. 'You look amazing in whatever you choose to wear.' he said resting his hands on my shoulders. 'But this is not it.' he smiled. 'Please go and change.'

'And leave you all by yourself?' I asked confused.

'I'll be just fine.' he shook is head. 'It's only 5pm. I'll manage two more hours.' he smiled.

'Are you sure?' I insisted.

'Just go.' he rolled his eyes. 'Now.'

I quickly grabbed my bag and headed out the cafe, not before planting a kiss on Luca's cheek.

***

After a short drive, I got home and jumped in the shower. After putting a minimum amount of makeup on, I search for an outfit.

Truth is, I was a little excited. I haven't been out with someone in a long time. I mean yes I have, but Kylian and Luca don't count.

At around 6:15 I grabbed my car keys and headed towards Barcelona's training centre. My stomach started doing backflips and I don't know if it was because of Pedri or because of how much I missed being at a training centre.

Pedri's POV:

'So she's picking you up?' Gavi asked me, as we were walking down the hallway.

'Yes.' I nodded my head, nervously.

'How do you know she didn't lie to you?' he laughed. 'Maybe she just told you that to get rid of you.'

'She's the one that brought up going out today.' I looked at him sternly. 'It's not like I begged her.'

'But you've been begging her.' he laughed.

'Are you serious right now?' I stopped in my tracks, turning around to face my bestfriend.

'I'm just saying.' he shrugged his shoulders. 'You meet this girl and she's all you talk about. You don't even know if she's interested in you the way you're interested in her.' he poked my chest with his finger. 'I just don't want you to get hurt.'

'I know what I'm doing.' I said sternly.

'Do you?'

Me and Gavi always looked out for eachother. Whether it was on the pitch, outside or when it just came to our feelings. I think he was my Luca. That's how Irina would describe it.

'You haven't even showed me a picture of her.' Gavi shook his head, making our way again towards the exit. 'Is she ugly or something?'

'No.' I push him. 'She's...' I took a deep breath, daydreaming about her with my eyes open. 'She takes your breath away as soon as she walks in the room or she opens her mouth to say something. Her eyes are green, like a priceless emerald. You look into her eyes and you see the pine trees of the forest, the weird exotic aura of a baby dragon, summer leaves infiltrated with sunlight. Her smile is warโ€”'

Gavi's laughter woke me up, making me shoot him a serious look. 'Are you in love with her?'

'No.' I shook my head.

But I could fall in love with her.

Gavi clicked his tongue a few times, 'Is she worth it?' he asked.

All I did, was nod my head in response.

'There you go then. That's your answer. Take a risk and if she's not interested, there's plenty of girls out there.'

For once, Gavi gave me valuable and useful advice.

'Okay, this is where you turn around and go back to the changing room.' I turned around and stopped Gavi as we reached the exit.

'I want to meet her.'

'No you don't.' I gave him a warning smile.

'Are you kidding me?' he asked annoyed.

'Please.' I said with pleading eyes. 'You'll meet her another time. Just go.'

'Fine.' he rolled his eyes and went the opposite way.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves and opened the doors, stepping out onto the parking lot.
