Spain's Brightest (Patri Guijarro)

Awkward Patri

September 2019

Patri's POV:

FaceTime and phone calls.

That's how I've talked to Jess.

FaceTime and phone calls. 

"Alexia?" She looked at me. "I need help."

"What's up?" She sat next to me. 

"I miss Jess."

"Aw." She smirked. "And what do you want me to do about it?"

"Help me."

"Jenni plays in Barca now. Our secret trips to Madrid are no more." 

"I just want to see her." I looked at Alexia. "A lot's been going on."

"Like what?"

"Her adoptive parents reached out. She's ignored it but they're still trying. Now that she made a name for herself they suddenly want to be apart of her life." I rolled my eyes. "It's gross."

"How does Jess feel?"

"Again, she's ignoring it." 

Jessica's POV:

"You'll be back in no time." I sat across from Lola. "Be patient."

"It sucks." She looked at her hand. 

"I know but, you'll come back stronger." My phone lit up. "Oh my god! Go away!" 

"Damn ok." Carmen turned around.

"Not you." I sighed. "These stupid people." I muted the call and rested my head in my hands.

"Your parents?"

"Adoptive parents." I said. "Annoying assholes. Kicked me out after I almost died and now they want to talk? No." I looked up at them. "I don't want to talk to them."

"Then don't." Lola said.

"They can fuck themselves."

"Yes they can." She agreed.

"I heard fuck and here I am." Virginia sat next to me. "What did I miss. Who are we fucking?"

"We aren't fucking anyo- what is wrong with you?" Lola asked. 

"Many, many things my dear friend." Virginia winked. "Is it Patri?" She asked me.

"No." My phone rang again. "I'm going to throw it at the wall."

"Let me." Lola said grabbing it. She answered. "Hi thank you for calling Jessica Rodriguez. This is her assistant Lola speaking how can I help you today? Uh huh. And who is this? Her parents? It is my knowledge that Ms. Rodriguez doesn't know her parents. Oh, the adoptive ones! She's made it clear that should you reach out to her you aren't welcome in her calls. After all didn't you tell her she wasn't welcome in your home?" I smirked. "Hmm. Well I will pass on your message thanks for calling, don't do it again. Bye." She hung up.

"What was the message?" I asked.

"They want to reconnect." She rolled her eyes. "Heard about your new job, want to see how you're doing."

"Yeah. No thanks." I took my phone back. "Thanks, assistant."

"No problem boss." She smirked. 

"Aw, you two are bonding over scamming people." Carmen smiled. 

"You're still a pain in my ass." I said.

"The feeling is still mutual." 

Patri's POV: 

I stood on the field. We were playing against Atleti. I looked over to the bench and saw Jess. She was saying something to Toni.

"Come on baby goat." Leila put her hand on my shoulder. "We got a game to win." 

2 minutes in, Amanda scored. As the game went on we got back into it. Going into halftime, we were up 4-1. 

When the game was finished we were the winners. 

6-1. 

I went around to all the Atleti players, and found my way to the bench. 

"Carmen." I smiled. "What you missed me so much you had to sit on the bench?"

"Shut up, Patri." She shook her head. 

"They took you out for an American. How do you feel?"

"Do you really want to test me right now?"

"Yes. I do." 

She looked over my shoulder. "Leave her alone, Patri." 

I turned and saw Jess. "But she's so easy to mess with."

"I know but if you continue to piss her off, I'll never hear the end of it." 

I laughed. "Fine. I'll let it pass for TODAY!" 

"You're a pain in my ass." Carmen said.

"Ohh! Do you kiss Lola with that mouth?"

"Yes. She does." Lola walked over. She hit me with one of her gloves and walked away with Carmen.

I looked at Jess. "It's been a while."

"It has." She nodded. "Last time I was with you in Barcelona, I got stabbed." I looked down. "But I also got to spend time with you. Worth it." 

"We should do it again then." I smiled. "Not it like IT! Like get together. NOT LIKE THAT! I'm gonna go now." I turned to walk away.

"Patri." She said and grabbed my hand. "I thought we were done with awkward Patri?"

"That's just normal Patri." I said. "I thought you knew this."

"Then who was that girl who took my shirt off to look at my scars?" She whispered.

"I have no idea." I shook my head.

She laughed. "As much as I find awkward Patri adorable." She leaned toward me. "I really like confident Patri." She walked away. "Always fun seeing you!" She yelled over her shoulder.

"You good baby goat?" Leila walked over. My knees gave out and she got me. "Ok! I got you, kid." She dragged me.

"She's hot."

"Ok."

"Wow." 

"Whatever you say." 

Who has Xbox Live and wants to join a party with me!?!? I'm bored someone please....
