Unexpected Vacation [CL16]

Chapter 3

After checking out from Nice airport, we rented a car at the airport and put the belongings in the car. It takes about half an hour between Monaco and Nice. My sister got in the driver's seat and started the car. I also started to skip the radio channels. My favorite thing is to listen to music while driving. Paro started playing on the radio. I turned up the volume of the radio and started to enjoy the road. Even though it was early in the morning, the city was starting to get lively. People were walking towards the beach and some were sitting in cafes and sipping their morning coffee. Half an hour later we arrived in Monaco. My sister had arranged the hotel we were staying at in navigation and we continued towards there. When we arrived at the hotel we gave the car to the valet and checked in. "Hello, we had a reservation." Delilah began talking to the receptionist. I was inspecting the lobby at the time. Monaco.. Sparkle and luxury.. It crossed my mind by saying that it shows itself with everything. Everywhere luxury stores were full of well-dressed people. I still wore the comfortable sweatpants I wore during the trip. I wanted to go up to the room and change my clothes as soon as possible. After getting our keys we went to the room. The room was of average size, seemed clean and spacious. I said "I need to take a shower and get rid of this stuff right now." Delilah was looking at me with a laugh. "I thought you were sleepy? I think it felt good to sleep on the plane." she said. "I guess you didn't notice the people in the lobby. The city is full of people dressed like that." I said and started to open my bag. "Ahh sorry, I was at the front desk taking care of check-in." she said sarcastically. After putting our things in the closet we took turns in the shower. After getting out of the shower I lay down on the couch. "I feel very hungry right now." I said. Voices were coming from my stomach. "Yeah, so do I, let's get ready and eat something" Delilah said as she closed the bathroom door. We changed our clothes and left the hotel. The clock was now approaching noon and the heat was making itself felt quite a bit. We sat in a restaurant around the yacht club. The view was so great. I felt incredibly peaceful. Delilah made her way to the balcony to make a short phone call. While I was waiting for her, I was trying to choose something from the menu. "I think I'll order a salad and soda, and you decide." I said. After Delilah decided, we placed our orders. "What do we do from here?" Delilah broke the silence as we stared at our phones in silence for a while. "I don't know, let's look at a travel application, we travel in order according to where we should go." I replied saying. When my salad arrived, I immediately started eating it. I was so hungry that Delilah looked at me with a smile. "Calm down, you have to breathe and eat." she said. "Oh, I'm really hungry" I said. I realized that I had dripped from the salad dressing on me. I had to go to the bathroom to clean myself. "I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." I got up and while walking briskly, I suddenly bumped into someone. "Ahhh! I'm so sorry I didn't notice." I said quickly. I was left shocked for a moment. Green eyes and messy bandanna hair looked familiar to me from somewhere. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter." I continued on my way with a smile. How did I know this familiar face. Could I have seen it at school? After cleaning up, I returned to the table.While looking around to see where Delilah wasn't at the table, I saw her talking to the boy I had just bumped into. She returned to the table with a smile. "We wouldn't say we didn't meet Charles either." she said quickly. "Charles? Ah, Leclerc! that was him, wasn't he? I just hit him." I said and shaking my head. Delilah laughed. "Really? It looks very good, doesn't he?" she said. I turned my head to the opposite table and looked at him. We met eyes in an instant. He looked at me and smiled and then he turned his head towards his friends. "Yeah, it looks really good." I confirmed it. As I left the venue to pay the bill and continue walking, I turned around with one last curiosity. All of a sudden he lifted his head and looked at me. I suddenly felt that I was red and quickly left the place."What was this?"
