Photography

Chapter 4

It turns out Francisco whatever his last name was, lived in the same city as Elisa. Although, the chances of them meeting is slim, since he travels around just like her parents.

She told all these to Nadia, and her immediate response was to look for him and, well you know stalk him. Elisa immediately refused, and said that he was rarely in one place.

"Okay fine, let's just stalk him on his Instagram, I mean, surely he would have one, he's a photographer!" Nadia exclaimed.

Elisa was about to refuse but Nadia grabbed her phone without warning and started searching for Francisco on Instagram. Elisa looked around to see that they were already parked by the mall and got out of the car.

"Oh lala, smexy beast." Nadia murmured, flipping Elisa's phone in different directions. Elisa was curious and intrigued about how this Francisco looked by the way Nadia described him.

She opened Nadia's door and peeped over her shoulder, and oh lala indeed, he was one of the most handsome and sexy guy she's seen her whole life. Well, aside from all those movie celebrities.

Nadia looked at the background of his photo, which was of the delicious coffee shop right at the mall, where she was meeting her date Derek. She checked when he posted this, which was just recently! She also checked the caption, which said, "Spending one whole year in my wonderful home, first stop Coffee Dream."

She squealed and got out from her car, gave Elisa her phone back, locked her car, and proceeded to pull Elise with her to the coffee shop.

"Wait, Nadia? Where are we going? Why did you squeal?" Elisa shot question after question at Nadia, who was supporting a big grin and who was totally ignoring her out of her excitement.

Elisa looked at her phone, and back up at the coffee shop they were obviously going to. She looked back down at her phone and back up, where she almost bumped into the glass wall, but dodged it quickly.

Nadia waved excitedly at a lonely Derek, whose face lit up when he saw her. He looked amused seeing Nadia dragging a very confused Elisa.

"Hey, where's your friend? Is he, I don't know, taking pictures of himself being here since he travels around?" Nadia asked him, acting nonchalant. This time it was Derek's turn to be confused.

"He's in the restroom?" He replied, more like a question than a statement. Nadia nodded in understanding, and sat across Derek. She looked at Elisa and smiled.

"Could you order for me too, please?" Nadia requested Elisa, batting her eyes. Elisa raised her eyebrows and nodded.

"The usual?"

"Yep."

Elisa slowly walked to the counter, and looked around for the photographer, but he must have left already. She sighed in disappointment and waited in line.

"Hey, are you from Tennessee, cause you're the only ten I see." A voice spoke out from beside her, she jumped in surprise and looked at the person. He was cute, but his arrogant smirk and stance wasn't very cute.

"Haha, sorry I—" Elisa started awkwardly, but someone pushed the guy away.

"He's just being idiotic, so what's your name?" He pushed his friend away, leaning on the wall they were beside.

Elisa looked at the guy and studied his handsome profile, even more handsome than in the photos. Then looked at the camera that was being supported with a sling around his neck. Wow, he's still here, and wow, he's just so... Elisa thought, thinking how this was such a coincidence.

"I'm Elisa, and I think you got what I need." She said smiling. The stranger raised his eyebrows, lifting a hand.

"I'm Francisco, what is it that I have?" He shook the hand of Elisa, she hesitated for a while before answering.
