Awkward Start - Pablo Gavi

                                    

                                          
Main character: Kara Nuñez
Third person pov:
Pablo Gavi and Kara Nuñez have always had an inevitable attraction towards each other. The eighteen year olds enjoyed each others company, not being able to spend time in their friend group without catching each others stares, and allowing their faces to look like "🤭" pretty much the whole time.
Last week at Ansu Fatis halloween and birthday party, they finally kissed.
Although the two are crazy about each other, the awkwardness in their interactions lingers.
They are shy around each other, always blushing and talking nervously. The most shy was Kara, though. She unlike Pablo, never had a partner before, and was worried shed mess up their relationship.
Today was going to be their first netflix and chill. Kara is nervous and excited, and Pablo felt a little more confident this time.

Karas pov:
I reach for my car keys, and say goodbye to my parents before leaving the house for my first date with Pablo. They have no idea that Ive been in love with him for weeks. Nor the fact that we kissed.
Our kiss last week was so amazing. I couldnt get it out of my head. His kissing was great, but I wish mine was a little better. 
Before starting my car I try my best to calm down a little.
I still felt weird around him, though. We were just friends last week, and now were going to be more than that? Life really can take you through so much.
Youll be fine, Kara.
I start the car and drive to Pablos house.
I take a few deep breaths before knocking on his door.
As he opened, all my attention shifted to his face. He had such perfect features. Those broad shoulders, his boyish face, especially those beautiful brown eyes, and his silky, fluffy hair.
"Hey there, come in" he says. I can tell hes a little nervous too.
I smile nervously and follow him inside.
"Thanks for inviting me over" I state. "Youre welcome, amor"
Whatd he just call me?
"So um, w-what are we watching today?" I question, trying my best to not sound like Im a scaredy cat. "I dont know, how about we look for now" he replies, leadng me to the couch.
Man this is so awkward!
We sit down, our knees touching. Were so close to each other!
Pablo puts on Enola Holmes, which seemed interesting.
About twenty minutes in, Pablo drapes his arm around me and my cheeks heat up as I felt his hand on my arm.
Then a few minutes later I lean my head on his shoulder. He smelled so good. Like Caroline Herrera 212. I know this because my brother wears it.
The way he smelled made him appear more attractive.
Halfway into the movie hes massaging my head, and I swear I could feel his lips on my head.I really wanted to kiss him again, but Im too wimp to do so.
I snuggle into him more and his scent is intoxicating me. Boy this is gonna be a long date.
Once the movie ends, Ive been blushing almost the entire time.
I couldnt get this handsome guy out of my head.
"You wanna order pizza?"
Oh without pizza I dont live. Those are just facts.
"Yes please, I love pizza" I reply and Pablo kisses my forehead.
After he orders pizza we sit down not touching at all. Awkward silence fills the room.

Pablos pov:
So far weve watched a movie and ordered the pizza. Things were going great, right? Unless you count the awkward silence in the room now. Man, I am terrible at new stuff. It wasnt this hard when I dated Angie a few months ago. What could be stopping me from being comfortable with Kara?
Is it how she acted? Her hair? Her eyes? Her smile? Something about her makes me go silent everytime I see her.
To break this silence I try speaking.
"U-Um so, whatd you think of the movie?"
She looks at me nervously.
"Um, it was n-nice."
I cannot appear afraid in front of her. Maybe I just had to talk to get her comfortable with me. It would help me too, right?
"So uh, nice weather today, right?"
Such a dry classic.
Kara nods. Boy I am blowing this. I have to get straight to the point. By first talking about that kiss. That amazing kiss that I cant get out of my head. Everything leads to it. Whenever Pedri talks about his girlfriend, whenever Ansu hints to me about girls. My ex wasnt as special and amazing as Kara.
One thing I havent thought about, how am I supposed to get to the point without scaring her off? Do I just leave hints or just speak my mind?
I think speak my mind would be a little too much at this point.
Come on, say something Pablo! Anything!

Karas pov:
Why am I only nodding? I should be answering him WITH WORDS. Why did I have to be this nervous around him? Hes so amazing. And kind. And awesome. And holy moly, so gorgeous. Ugh its that beautiful face that drives me nuts. That fluffy hair. His cute boyish look. Especially those beautiful almond brown eyes that made me fall for him at first sight.
Yes Im in love. With everything of this man I see.
Were still quiet and awkward. I wish I could tell him about how Im feeling. Huey Lewis & The News is right, the power of love is a beautiful thing.
Then I finally hear him speak;
"Kara I really like you, youre so beautiful and kind and I just enjoy spending time with you. I actually dream about you. But, I honestly dont know what to do about my feelings. Im just too wimp around you and I wish theyd just chill out and let me be myself but, I just-" "Pablito I love you too" I interrupt and he looks at me.
Boy my heart is racing. Hes looking straight into my eyes.
"I love you. Ive never had feelings like these for anyone. Youre just so important and special to me. I dont think I wanna ever be with another man.." I admit, blushing wildly.
Next thing you know, Pablo moves closer to me and presses his lips against mine, kissing me with passion.
My lord. Im screaming inside.
I grab onto his shirt, kissing back, then moving my hands through his hair. Oh his fluffy hair!
A few seconds later he pulls his lips away from mine. Hes still so close to me, our lips at least an inch away.
"I love you too, Kara" he whispers.
I kiss him this time and he runs his hands down my hips.
I giggle in between kisses at his touch.
The doorbell rings.
That must be the pizza.
Pablo pulls away.
"Pizza. I bet youre hungry" he comments, smirking and getting up.
I bite my lip to stop my blushing.
This is just the beginning of a new chapter.
