"I'm so excited for tonight, you girls! I'm sure you will love it too." Gabriela was saying as we got into her car.
"We are excited too, for sure, but you scared us a bit. What are going to do though?" Sofia said while looking around at everyone.
"Should we tell them?" Olivia asked Gabriela ironically.
"I think we tortured them enough, poor girls. We were thinking of going for a drive trhough our favorite spots and then, we will meet with the rest of the group. Then we can go out for the rest of the night since we will have other drivers. Maybe we can move the party to one of our places." Gabriela finally told us the plans.
"So I was right not to wear heels tonight. Good." I said and then everyone started laughing.
"It sounds amazing, especially that we can make new friends and discover the place for real. Thank you so much for this. You really are so sweet." Evelyn said as we took over the city.
Flight's Booked was blasting in the car as we drove around the place, completing the view perfectly. The sunset, the palms, the lights, the streets full of people, and the sea that was mirroring the last moments of the daylight already painted the greatest memories of this summer. I can't wait for what's coming next.
I'm really happy that we met these girls, besides the fact that they bring great company, we wouldn't have that much without them showing us around. We let the windows down and without noticing, all of us started screaming the lyrics of Lost in the Fire. Apparently, it became the theme song of the night. Of course, some people heard us but we were too busy having fun to notice them.
Finally, our ride had come to an end and we got to meet the group.
"I wasn't expecting such beautiful girls to be in our company tonight." a guy said.
"You are a bit dumb, aren't you?" Olivia told him trying to hold her laugh.
"You really make me feel embarrassed every time I'm out with you, dude." another guy told him back, smacking the back of his head.
"So... this is Dani and Theo. This is Anto, and he is Fer. Guys, this is Ariana, Sofia and Evelyn." Gabriela said while introducing us.
"Nice to meet you all!" I said while greeting everyone.
"So, what do you think of Tenerife so far?" Fer asked us.
"It's amazing. We really love it here. We've been here for only two days and we already fell in love with it." Sofia responded to him with a shy smile.
"Yet you still have more to discover. How much do you plan to stay here?"
"Two weeks. I think there's plenty of time to do so."
"For sure, especially since we met, we can take care of you." Fer smiled back at her but got interrupted. "Excuse me for a second, I have to take this, it's my brother."
"Don't worry, take your time." Sofia told him back as he took a few steps aside from the group.
"So, where are you from, girls? I heard that you're only on holiday here." Theo asked.
"We're from Bucharest. We always wanted to visit Tenerife, but we never really got the chance to do it together. So here we are now." I told him back.
"I see. I'm sure you will have a great time here, too. Did you visit anything else in Spain?"
"I did, the girls no. I went to Barcelona many times."
"Huh, Barcelona. Nice choice." Theo said laughing, and I looked at him confused.
"Well, my father is a big fan of Barça so you can imagine. He grew up loving the culture as well so he wanted to get the full experience of being a Barça fan."
"So you're a Barça fan too?"
"I haven't caught up with them in a long time, but I was when I was a kid. My dad still gives me updates on them sometimes, but school has taken over me completely so I had to give up a lot of my hobbies. How about you, are you a culer?" I asked him laughing.
"Haaa, you have no idea. Yes, actually, all of us are culers. But Fer is the biggest culer. You should ask him." Theo said kind of ironically at me like he was trying to make a point. "Fer?"
"He said he is talking to his brother. He will come back." Sofia responded to Theo.
"To his brother? Is he coming too?"
"That's something you should ask him, I don't know."
"Okay, thank you."
"Gabriela, Pedri is coming too. But he will be a bit late, he just got back home from training." Fer said after the call.
"Fine, then text him our place and we will save him a seat." Gabriela said.
"So, he is coming too. Fer, tell Ariana how much of a culer you are. She said she used to be one too when she was a child." Theo said in a teasing way.
"Oh, of course I am. I supported them since I could barely talk or walk. I think my first word was Barça instead of mom." Fer said joking.
"Only if my father knew..." I told them in the same spirit.
"Yeah, only if he knew." Theo completed my answer and I'm still a bit confused, like there's some kind of joke that I don't get.
We took a walk to the place where we were supposed to spend our night. Evelyn was talking to Dani on the way, Sofia continued her conversation with Fer, while Anto was with Gabriela and Olivia. I had small talks with Theo on the way.
As we got into the bar, it was a reservation under Gabriela's name for our table. I stayed between Sofia and Evelyn, Anto next to Gabriela and Olivia, Fer was facing Sofia, and Dani was facing Evelyn. There was an empty place in front of me, next to Fer. I guess it was for his brother.
It wasn't a crowded bar at all, it was really quiet and more reserved, it felt like it was more exclusive than the others that we had seen before. The atmosphere was intimate, the music wasn't blasting, but more adding to the vibe.
We weren't rushing with our orders, so I had enough time to decide what I would get. I wanted to try a new drink, but when I asked everyone I got only different answers so it was again hard for me to choose.
While I was looking through the menu, I heard them cheering as someone walked through the door. Initially, I didn't look up to see what was happening, but I realised that it concerned our table. I took a look up from the menu and I got stuck for a few seconds. The same eyes that were focusing on me the other night. It was him. This can't be for real.
