Life-changing / La Casa de Papel

Good girl

"Hi." He smiled the second he spotted Raquel sitting at the table all alone. He sat opposite of her, smiling.

"Hi." She smiled back at him, happy that he arrived after all. He took his jacket off and threw it on the seat next to him. Even then she noticed the banquet of flowers he was holding this whole time. 

"These are for you." He handed the flowers to Raquel. 

"Thank you, they're beautiful, Sergio." She smelled the flowers. "But you didn't have to." She placed them on the table next to her.

"I wanted to." He smiled. "Sorry for being a little late, did you wait for long?" He asked, a little bit of worry in his tone. 

"You weren't late," Raquel chuckled. "And no, don't worry, I didn't wait for long." She gave him a warm smile. "In fact, I didn't even have time to order." 

He smiled and nodded. They sat there for a while, looking at each other until Sergio started: "So, how have you been?" 

Raquel couldn't help but chuckle at these words. "I've been doing good." She smiled. "What about you?" 

"Good as well." He nodded. "I'm starting to work on the new project." 

"Oh, sounds nice." Raquel smiled. 

"It is." He smiled. "Our company is supposed to design some stuff for a new start-up." 

"Seems interesting." She raised her eyebrows curiously.

"Yeah, but unfortunately it takes more time than I thought." Sergio chuckled a little bit uncomfortably.

"I can imagine." Raquel nodded with a smile on her face.

They sat there, smiles on their faces when the waitress appeared.

"Would you like to order?" She asked looking at the both of them. Sergio gestured towards Raquel simply showing that she should order first. Raquel nodded, smiling.

"I'll have a black coffee with the milk." Raquel smiled and the waitress nodded.

"And for you sir?"

"An apple juice please." He said politely.

"Anything to eat?" The waitress asked still writing down the previous order.

"No, thank you," Raquel answered as the first one.

"Same for me then." Sergio looked toward Raquel.

"Anything else?"

"No, thank you." Raquel smiled and the waitress left.

They sat there for a moment, talking when the waitress came back with the drinks. She put them on the table in front of them and left. Right then Sergio reached for Raquel's cup of coffee.

"What are you doing?" Raquel looked at him confused.

"Caffeine isn't good during pregnancy," Sergio whispered, taking the cup in his hands.

"And how do you know that?" Raquel raised her eyebrows.

"Well, I did read some articles." Sergio smiled and Raquel chuckled.

"And what am I supposed to drink now Mr. Marquina?" Raquel asked curiously, making Sergio smile even more. 

"How about an apple juice?" He asked and put the glass in front of her.

"Hmm, doesn't seem so bad." She giggled and Sergio chuckled.

They were sitting in the café, talking, drinking.

"Hey, how about we would go for a walk?" Raquel suddenly suggested.

"In this weather?" Sergio raised his eyebrows unsurely.
