Nachi's 

We took a flight to Barcelona, the next morning. We had a layover for about 6 hours before continuing to our destination. We decided to explore the city in the mean time. The bags were kept at airport waiting room and the essentials were taken with us. 

"Let's go to La Rambla street!", I suggested.

"Lets eat something first."

"Yeah."

"So, where are we going to meet your friend?"

"We'll meet him at Ibiza."

"Okay, do we have to book a hotel there?"

"Nah, we can stay at his place."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

We took a subway till the main city. Once there, we grabbed some finger food and continued our walk to La Rambla street. It was filled with many artists wearing different costumes. There were artist dressed as statues, mimicry and some bands playing slow songs. I asked a band if I could play a song with them. 

"Sure, come on.", he had a heavy Spanish accent.

I joined them and played from the sheet we were sharing. Rhea stood there smiling and clicking picture. The artist caught be looking at her and asked,

"Is she your girlfriend?"

"I wish would be."

He smiled knowingly and grabbed the mic to announce, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special song coming up for a special person here. Feel free to shake some leg if you like the song."

We started playing a Spanish song and soon people started gathering around listening to the beats. A circle was made and they started dancing. Rhea also joined them. A dancer from nearby area started Flamenco, the special dance form known in Spain. It was an enthralling experience overall and in the we both were happy.

We enjoyed the busking so much that we ran late to catch our flight. We hardly made it to the airport half an hour before the flight. The quick security check went by quickly and the flight was boarded. Rhea fell asleep after boarding but the flight got delayed due to technical issues.

It finally started moving after an hour. I decided to take a nap. I was woken up the arrival call. 

"Rhea, we are here...", I gently tapped on her shoulder.

"I slept the whole way...uh?"

"Yeah, we have a long night ahead.", I grinned at her. 

"Obviously."

We collected our luggage and walked out. We just exited the arrivals and someone pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

"I missed you!", Andy mumbled.

"I missed you too."

"Then why did you-"

"Not now Andy.", I cut her off by pulling away to introduce Rhea, "By the way, this is Rhea."

"Hi.", Rhea stuck out her hand.

"Hola amiga!", Andy pulled her into a hug. 

"Nice to meet you.", Rhea was a little shy.

"Come on, our ride is waiting."

We walked to the waiting limousine, "We are taking the limo?", Rhea was shocked.

"Yes, Andy can be a little over the top sometime.", I said opening the door for her before walking back to keep our bags.

"Its a welcome ride.", Andy rolled her eyes at me.
