It's been two weeks since my surprise birthday party, one week since they won the Supercopa title and me and Ela started working for the club, a lot of time in which me and Pedri enjoyed eachother's company almost every day.
Of course I filled in Caro and Davi about what's been happening lately, having Davi on some days at work.
'You haven't touched your food.' Ela chuckled.
'I'm just not hungry.' I shrugged my shoulders.
'Since when?' she asked confused.
'Since now.' I rolled my eyes. 'I think I'm a bit nervous about today's match.' I smiled softly.
Barcelona was playing Girona in 2 hours and I was nervous about it.
I couldn't explain why, but all I knew was that I didn't want them to lose. Pedri has been scoring almost every match and I didn't want that to change.

After filming some content and spending some of our free time with the players, me and Ela took our usual seats, waiting for the game to kick off. I soon as the referee announced the start of the match, the players start 'fighting' for an advantage.
In the minute 26', Pedri replaces Dembélé who signals to the bench that he cannot continue.
In the minute 43', Ansu slides in and catches Gazzaniga late and receives the first yellow card of the game.
'Oh, you've got to be kidding me!' I protest.
'I love seeing you like this.' Ela chuckled.
Just 1 minute later, Girona's striker hits Busquets in his face with his arm. He's instantly booked.
All of a sudden, Pedri and Raphinha rush towards the referee, probably trying to convince him that the situation is more serious and want Castellanos off the pitch.
In an instant, the referee takes out his yellow card and shoves it in Pedri's face, making me jump up from my seat.
'A yellow card?!' I protest loudly. 'ARE YOU SERIOUS?'
Pedri looks in my direction, shaking his head with a chuckle.
It came as a shock to him just as much as it came to me.
Although Barcelona dominated large periods of the first half, the match remains goalless at the break.

As the game returns, a few substitutions take place and just 3 minutes in, Gavi's name is being taken by the referee as he slides in late on Martinez.
Ela jumped up faster than me, protesting, and making me laugh.
'I love seeing you like this.' I smiled.
She quickly straightened her clothes and sat down without saying anything.
And in the minute 61', Jordi passed to Pedri who makes no mistake in finding the empty net from close range and scoring.
'YESSSSSSS!' I jump up excitedly, Ela following me.
Pedri does his celebration and sends a wink my way, making me smile even harder.
The game finished 1-0, moving up 6 points clear at the LaLiga summit.

'I can't believe you got a yellow card.' I shook my head.
'It's crazy.' he chuckled. 'I'm turning into you.' he shifted and leaned over me.
'You wished.' I rolled my eyes playfully. 'I managed to get a red one.'
'So hot.' he laughed and placed a kiss on my lips, rolling on his back and pulling me on top of him.
