19: Welcome to Latin American tour, Monkeys!

Alex's POV:

A/N: I don't speak Spanish and it's not native here in my country. Sorry if my translation has errors because I only used Google translate to translate from English to Spanish :))

Preparing for our Latin American tour was overwhelming. Had to pack every inch of my things especially my guitars for the flight. The flight was exhausting, it took us hours just to arrive in Mexico City International Airport. We were set to perform at the Auditorio Nacional as we were currently doing our sound check for tonight's concert.

While in Sheffield, we already finished recording the single, 'R U Mine?' and it is set to be released by next year. After recording it in the studio, we played billiards in which Matt won since he was an expert at it.

Avery's cousin knowing about us is the funniest thing I ever heard. I knew Avery would keep our friendship as a secret, except to her father, but we were quite exposed a little bit, perhaps? I'm a delusional for her.

The crowd was over packed as we made it inside the arena. They gave us the loudest cheers feeling that we deserved it. Miles was along with us, and he was such a sweetie. The first song was played was Suck It & See and it ended with Only Ones Who Know. The show was fun, really. I could tell this one was filled with energy and excitement.

After the show, Matt, Jamie, Nick, Breana, and Kelly went out for drink while Miles and I roamed around the streets of Mexico City until we stopped by at one of the stalls there,

"Hola, te gustaria comprar algo?" the store clerk greeted us with a smile on her face, meanwhile I didn't understand what she was saying. Her store was filled with Mexican colourful woven blankets called Sarape, and some of them were decorated with designed skulls.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I don't speak Spanish", I informed the clerk, and she called out her assistance for a translator, I guess? Or to entertain us...

"What brings you here?", Her assistance asked us with her Mexican English accent. Avery was right, I should learn of how the way they sounded in their accent especially in Spanish..

"Sorry about us for being too dumb to speak in Spanish", Miles interrupted as he was fiddling with the blankets.

"It's okay", the lady said as she waited for us to buy something from their store.

I was thinking what to buy, all of them were beautiful. My eyes spotted the another thick woven skull blanket, so I picked that one instead..

"How much for this?" I asked the lady as she handed the blanket in hand.

"This would be for about 17 Mexican Pesos", she told me as she took a look at the prices written on the paper.

I then quickly paid her, and then I bought another two for my parents in Sheffield. I missed them so much when the moment I left them again for tour. Home is the place where you can relax your mind after all the musician stuffs you've been dealing with. She placed the blankets on the plastics, we thanked the lady and walked away..

Miles and I kept roaming and he slung an arm around my neck until we reached another stall which was filled with Mexican chocolates and we didn't hesitate to buy as many as we can..

"Mate, there's too many of them", Miles complained as he only bought a few of chocolates.

"I'm sorry, but these are for my parents", we reached a nearby pub, Miles was interested to have drinks and I just accompanied him.
