"okay you have to tell us the names" Mari said while we were watching the barça game the next day. "That's Ale, Alejandro Balde. One of my favourite people" "Oh that's Alejandro?" "Right. I forgot. Yes, Alejandro" "damn. Poor Juli" "Poor Juli" "Guys, don't you think that's kind of inappropriate?" "Juli isn't here, so it's okay" Mari said and I laughed. "Alright, moving on. Marc" "Bernal?" "No casado" "oh. Sorry" "It's okay. You two are really on a roll today" "Yeah, but just move on." "Gavi and Pedri" "Single?" "In their 20s" Mari groaned and I continued, "Raphina and Lewandoski. Araujo, Kounde. That's Lamine" "Now how old is he?" "17" "You know him?" "Sadly enough. He's my Margot or my Mari" "Who's that?" "That, Margot, is Pau CubarsÃ" "How old is he?" "He just turned 18" "hm" "Girls no. Please. No footballers" "Okay I'd never do that, but just saying you're dating one as well" "yeah the only good one" "Wait that's yours, right?" "yeah" "Girl you are so lucky" "I so am" "He looks like he's good at sex" "And he is, trust me he is" Mari held up her hand, I high-fived her and laughed. "Just saying, go get it girl" "Oh I think she gets it a lot" "You two are so annoying and kind of dirty" "We're just open about sex" "I get more sex then the two of you combined" "Which is why we are talking about your sex life" "which presumably is very active" "Inappropriate, guys" "It's not like we're in public" "exactly" "Wait. That really is Alejandro?" "yeah. I always forget you never met him" "I get Juli know" "Yeah a little better" "Well Ale is great, but so is Juli" "You're great as a matchmaker for your friends, huh?" I thought for a second, "apparently" "Matchmake us please" "no"
"Hello, Elisa" Lamine said over the phone and dragged out the o. "What's up?" "Uh don't I get to just call you?" "Yeah, but you aren't just calling, are you?" "I'm hoping you can't say no to me when I'm calling" "What is it?" "Well there's three questions" "Alright go on" "Beckham?" "nope" "Worth a try. Then please come back home?" "maybe. I don't know" "Come on your contract is expiring in the summer and just imagine it. All of us playing together again" It would be great. Plus Hector. Maybe we could even live together. "I am thinking about it. It would be great. Barcelona has and always will be have my heart." Alongside Hector of course. "But you know you would be leaving H. Which is the third and last question" "Look all you need to know is that I'm happy and my boyfriend makes me happy, very much so. It's new with him and him and I are happy and glad how it is. You knowing wouldn't change anything for you or my relationship" Well it would definitely change something for him, but I love my relationship and I'm not letting him possibly ruin my constant happiness just yet. "Elisa!" Mari yelled, "Ugh who are you calling? Is it H-" I shut her up by putting my hand on her mouth. She grabbed my phone, put it on speaker and started speaking, "Okay no idea who this is, but I'm going to hang up now-" "Mari" "Mari?" Lamine asked. "Okay I'm stealing Elisa from you now. Bye bye" she said and hung up, "Why did you shut me up?" "That's a friend of Hector and I and basically none of our mutual friends know. Both of us haven't told a lot of people in general, I mean I haven't even told my parents yet. So our close friends mostly don't know and that was one of them. If he knows, he'd make a big fuss about us dating, so he doesn't know" "When are you telling him?" "I don't know. When Hector and I feel ready" "Makes sense. Wait, your parents don't know?" "Well I'm planning on telling my mom soon, but my dad knows Hector. You know from when we lived in Spain and he never liked my ex, so I don't know how he'll react when I'll tell him." "Does he like Hector?" "Well yeah. As my friend, he likes Hector, but as my boyfriend? I don't know about that and don't know if I want to find out yet" "Your siblings know?" "Alisa. The others not yet" "I could never do that. My siblings would find out somehow. Harper would probably find out and tell my brothers and then my parents would know" "Your parents are so chill about that though, right?" "Yeah, I guess so. Yours aren't?" "My mom, 100%. I don't know about my dad as much though. He hated my last boyfriend" "Well he was right to hate him" "Oh come on. He wasn't that bad" "Well a little" "Only a little though and that was all after we broke up" "Still I think your dads hatred was a little justified" "A little" "Maybe also start by telling your mom" "Yeah maybe"
"Mom?" "Hi darling. How are you?" "Good. Everything's good. How is it going with you all?" "Great. I won one of my cases today and I've been working on that for extremely long" "That's great, mom" "Oh nice game yesterday" "Thanks mom. Uhm about that- well not really about that, but kind of" "Are you talking about the celebration?" "Yes." "H? Who is H?" "Well mom, everything I'll tell you, you can't tell dad" "Alright" She said confused. "H, well my boyfriend. Okay let's start this otherwise. I have a boyfriend. It's not been that long, only a few days. I've been seeing him for a month though, but I've known him a lot longer. I met him when we were kids and well dad knows him and you heard about him and met him briefly." "Which one is he?" "Hector" "oh. That's nice for you. He makes you happy?" "Very much, mom" "That's good. You like him?" "A lot" "I'm happy for you"
