Wrong Number (Pedro Pascal)

Chapter 5: Unforeseen Discovery

Pedro had been away in Alberta for what felt like an eternity, but the days were finally counting down until his return to New York. In the midst of the excitement, he decided to video call his sister, Javi, to catch up and see how things were back home.

The screen flickered to life, revealing Javi's smiling face. "Pedro!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with warmth and familiarity. "It's so good to see you! How's Alberta treating you?"

Pedro couldn't help but smile at the sight of his sister. "It's been a wild ride, but I'm glad to be coming back soon," he replied, his voice tinged with anticipation. "How are Bruno and Pedro doing? I miss them so much."

Javi's face lit up as she motioned for Bruno and Pedro to come closer. The two young boys, full of energy and mischief, appeared on the screen. "Tío Pedro!" they shouted in unison, their voices filled with excitement.

Pedro's heart swelled at the sight of his nephews. "Hey there, little troublemakers!" he chuckled, his voice brimming with affection. "I can't wait to see you guys and hear all about what you've been up to."

Bruno, the older of the two, beamed at his uncle. "Oh, Tío Pedro, you won't believe it! We have the coolest Spanish teacher ever! She's so nice and taught us some slang."

Pedro's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Spanish teacher?" he repeated, a mix of curiosity and confusion coloring his voice. "But... what's her name?"

Bruno exchanged a mischievous glance with Pedro, who chimed in and said your name "She's fun"

A sense of realization washed over Pedro. The pieces of the puzzle started to come together, and he couldn't believe what he was hearing. It couldn't be a mere coincidence that his nephews were referring to their Spanish teacher, and the name they mentioned struck a chord within him.

In that moment, Pedro knew he had stumbled upon an unforeseen discovery. The connection he had formed with you, the playful banter, and the deep conversations suddenly took on a whole new meaning. You were not just a stranger he had grown fond of; you were his nephews' teacher, someone who had unknowingly become a part of their lives.

As the video call with Javi and the boys continued, Pedro's mind raced with thoughts and emotions. He listened intently to Bruno and Pedro's stories, his heart swelling with pride for his nephews and the progress they were making in their Spanish lessons.

Yet, there was an underlying sense of excitement and nervousness. The upcoming reunion with you held a whole new level of significance. How would you react when you discovered his true identity?

The days leading up to Pedro's return were filled with anticipation and contemplation. He couldn't wait to see you, to finally meet face to face and unravel the mysteries that had entwined their lives. The unexpected discovery only fueled his desire to see where this journey would lead.

As Pedro's return to New York drew closer, he found himself caught in a whirlwind of preparations and anticipation. The idea of finally meeting you, his nephews' Spanish teacher and the person he had grown so close to, filled him with both excitement and a hint of nervousness.

In the midst of packing his belongings and organizing his schedule for the upcoming days, Pedro found a moment to connect with his co-star Bella Ramsay. The two of them had formed a strong bond while working together, and Pedro valued their perspective and advice.

Seated in his temporary residence in Alberta, Pedro glanced at his phone, seeing Bella's name on the screen. He pressed the call button, eagerly awaiting their familiar voice.

"Hey, Pedro!" Bella greeted him cheerfully, their voice carrying a touch of curiosity. "What's on your mind?"

Pedro took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before diving into the topic that had been consuming him. "Bella, you know about... her," he began, his voice laced with a mixture of excitement and uncertainty. "I just found out that she's the teacher of my nephews, and I'll be meeting her soon."

Bella's eyes widened with surprise. "No way!" they exclaimed, their voice brimming with genuine interest. "So, how are you feeling about it?"

Pedro paused for a moment, contemplating his emotions. "Honestly, I'm thrilled and a bit nervous," he admitted, his words tinged with vulnerability. "I want to make a good impression. But at the same time, I don't want to overwhelm her or make things awkward."

Bella nodded, understanding the weight of the situation. "It's a delicate balance, Pedro," they advised, their tone gentle yet wise. "Just be yourself and let things unfold naturally. Show her the same kindness and charm. And most importantly, be open and honest about your feelings."

Pedro took Bella's words to heart, knowing that their advice came from a place of genuine care. "Thank you, Bella. I needed to hear that," he expressed gratefully, a sense of relief washing over him.

Bella smiled warmly, their voice filled with encouragement. "You've got this, Pedro. Just be genuine and let the rest unfold."

As Pedro hung up the phone, he felt a renewed sense of confidence and determination. He knew that the upcoming meeting with you would be a pivotal moment, a chance to bridge the gap between the virtual world and reality. With Bella's advice echoing in his mind, he embarked on the journey back to New York, ready to face the unknown and embrace the possibilities that lay ahead.

Pedro's journey from Alberta to New York was filled with a mixture of exhaustion and anticipation. The long flight had taken a toll on his energy, but the thought of finally being back in the same city as you kept him going.

As he boarded the plane, Pedro settled into his seat, grateful for the chance to rest during the journey. However, his tired state didn't go unnoticed by the friendly flight attendant who approached him with a flirtatious smile.

"Welcome aboard, handsome," she greeted him, her tone filled with playful charm. "Can I get you anything to make your flight more enjoyable?"

Pedro offered her a polite smile, his weariness making him somewhat shy and reserved. "Thank you, but I think I'll just rest for now," he replied, his voice carrying a gentle hint of exhaustion.

Undeterred by his response, the flight attendant leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Well, if you change your mind, I'll be just a call button away," she whispered, her eyes lingering on him for a moment before she moved on to attend to other passengers.

Pedro's cheeks flushed slightly, caught off guard by the flight attendant's advances. He discreetly looked away, focusing his attention on the plane's window as the aircraft took off, his mind drifting to thoughts of you.

Several hours later, Pedro finally arrived back in New York. Fatigued from the long journey, he entered his apartment, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. The familiar surroundings offered comfort and a much-needed respite after the exhausting flight.

After settling in and taking a moment to rejuvenate, Pedro picked up his phone and dialed your number. As the phone rang, his heart raced with anticipation, eager to share the news of his return with you.

"Hello?" your voice came through the line, a hint of excitement lacing your words.

Pedro's voice carried a mix of exhaustion and enthusiasm as he responded, "Hey, it's me. I'm back in New York."

A smile graced your face as you replied, "Oh, Pedro, I'm so glad to hear that. How was your flight?"

"Exhausting," he confessed, a note of weariness evident in his voice. "But I couldn't wait to call you and let you know that I'm here. I can't wait to finally meet you."

Your own excitement mirrored his as you replied, "I'm thrilled that you're back, Pedro. We'll have so much to talk about when we meet. Take some time to rest and settle in, and then we can plan our long-awaited meeting."
