Taste of Peaches

8*

It had been a week and I was starting college in two days. It was a weird feeling but I honestly was really excited.

As I walked down the streets of the city a familiar scent of food filled the air.

I was currently on my way to a Cafe when I was stopped by a young woman in a red tight hugging dress.

She had dark brown hair and was wearing barely any makeup yet she seemed to look flawless.

"Lo siento mucho." she said while flattening her dress out.

[I am so sorry.]

"Oooh no, está bien."

[Oooh no, it's fine.]

I said while fixing my shirt. The girl stuck out her hand and I grabbed it while getting to my feet.

"Camilla." she said and I nodded while smiling at the girl.

"American right?" she asked and I just nodded. "Your Spanish is good." was all she said before placing her hands on her hips.

"Thank you." I spoke with a little bit of uncertainty as to why she was talking to me. "Ohh, Uhh... My name is Mia."

She let out a laugh and I smiled at the girl.

"So what are you doing here?" she asked and for some reason I decided to answer the odd girl. "School." she nodded and then placed a hand on my shoulder.

"You wanna get some Sancocho with me?" She asked and I was very confused as to why she was talking to me.

"Sure."

I decided that taking a risk was something I could afford so why not.

She gave me the happiest smile while handing me her phone where I could type my number in. When I did she patted my shoulder again before walking away.

I just stood there for a second wide eyed before continuing down the street.

When I reached the local market I was greeted by the immense stands of vendors as well as the smell of food I could only assume would melt my tastbuds.

When I walked up to one of the vendors with stacks of fruit in baskets I curtly smiled at the man before picking up a few Maracuyá fruits and walking over to the man.

"¿Cuánto cuestan estos?" I asked and the man smiled,

[How much are these?]

"1,800 pesos cada uno."

[1,800 pesos each.]

I nodded and handed the man 5,400 pesos while placing the fruits in a cloth bag I had with me.

It scared the fuck out of me to travel to knew places but I wanted to go to school abroud scince I was 17 and this was the most uniqe option so as I walked through the city collecting my much needed groceries I smile to myself when I finally got back to my house.

The home I had picked out barely a month ago now was big enough to fit a family of five and was a newer build but I still liked it. My car was arriving tomorrow and I was almost ready to start this new chapter of my life.

When I walked in the first thing I noticed was how empty it felt but there was plenty of time to fix that, I thought to myself as I slipped off my shoes and hung up my purse while grabbing my bag of groceries and walking to the kitchen.

As I placed the stuff away I got a call on my phone and looked at it to see that Alessandro was calling me.

"Hello?" I asked confused. I would be lying if I didnt say I thought he was just going to ghost me after we had sex.
