Another Night

Chapter 7 - A Parchar

Once it was nightfall and after the boys made a quick change of clothes at the hotel, I brought them over to one of my favorite restaurants by el Rio Cali which I made a reservation at in order to have the whole place to ourselves.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we were greeted by the staff and the guys agreed to take a couple of photos with them before sitting down and ordering their food.

The game from today was playing on every television screen for the guys to finally watch their magic.

I sat with the same cooks from the other day, Monica, and Esteban while the rest of the guys had time to spend together.

The environment was lively, there was some Colombian music playing low, the guys were in the best mood they could be in, the staff was having fun, food and drinks were being served, and I was home.

I had my back turned to the guys and in my view was the door and outside I had a clear view of the palm trees and the beautiful avenue to walk by next to the river. I was nostalgic and I couldn't wait to take off tomorrow.

I turned around to face the guys for a second and I smiled at Mario who was already looking at me. He smiled back before coming up to me.

"We're gonna play a game later, you in?" He asked.

"Of course," I smiled.

"All of you," he invited the rest of the table.

"Yeah," they all nodded. "Thanks."

"Congrats on the goal," I smiled up at him.

"Thanks, love," he smiled before taking another swig of his beer and walking back to his table.

I followed him with my eyes and then looked over at Marco who was looking my way.

I smiled at him and he smiled back. A nice little exchange.

My phone started vibrating on the table in front of me, bringing my attention back to what seemed to be reality and I answered Samantha's call.

"Congratulations on your first win!" She cheered.

"Not my win, but thank you," I said as I got up and silently excused myself from the loud room and out to the street.

"Boys will be boys," Samantha laughed as I left all the noise.

"This is so exciting!" I cheered as I kept walking straight towards the river.

"How great is this?"

"How was the team for you, when we won?" I asked excitedly.

"Oh, so now it's we?"

"Of course," I laughed. "Our team."

"They were so much fun, oh my God. They know how to party and especially in Colombia."

"I could only imagine," I found myself smiling. "I have something to tell you," I turned around to make sure no one followed me out to the avenue.

"What's up? Marco?"

"So," I began to chuckle nervously. "He said he thought I was cute and I said it back and before all that we had another moment where we kind of almost kissed-"

"Oh my God-"

"But I explained to him this wouldn't be right!"

"Wait was he pointing at you today-"

"He did after his goal," I began to squeal.

"I knew it! He likes you!"

"I think so!" I squealed along with her.
