It was 7am when Rosa came into my room, having seen the light on, lay down on my bed and started telling me about her night. As I was studying, or at least trying to, I was hearing along, but not paying much attention. What I overheard was "I met a guy who's from, bla bla bla, he's so nice, bla bla bla, I'm in love, bla bla bla, and tomorrow afternoon we're going there in his car, to see if you'll drop it a bit, we're on holiday" and then she got up and went to her room to pack her suitcase. Tired as I was, it took me a while to take in what she'd said, and when I did I suddenly got up and ran to her room.
- You what? - I asked.
- I knew you weren't listening. - She laughed and continued - Today, in the pub, I met a guy called Carlos and I told him about all my travels and adventures and he told me about his. After a long chat, he invited me to come with him to visit his hometown, because he hasn't been there for a long time and he'd like to show me his country. Attention, I only accepted if I could take you along, I'm still not crazy enough to run away with someone I don't know.
- Where is your hometown? - I asked, knowing I couldn't escape this madness
- The City of Bellamar, you know that kingdom next to us. What's it called?
- The Kingdom of Bellamar? - I said and laughed at the same time
- Yes, exactly. And the best thing is that it won't cost us anything to travel, because he has a car that he'll take us in and a house that he's renting there, but he'll lend it to us. - she says with a smile on her face.
- Are you sure about all this? - she nods - ok, when do we go? - I said yes, even though I wasn't sure about it.
- When we're ready, I'll call him and he'll come round to pick us up and we'll start our adventure, so go and pack quickly.
- I'm going, calm down.
I went back to my room and packed everything. I had a problem choosing the amount of clothes I was going to take, Rosa hadn't told me how long we were going to be there, so I packed enough for a week. After an hour and a half I heard the doorbell and it was Carlos ready to go.
- Come on, are you ready? - he asked - pleasure, I'm Carlos - he said as he packed our suitcases into the car.
- Nice to meet you, I'm Sofia. - I replied as I helped him
