Thursday. Three more days to go then, my life will be back to normal. I've been saying this over and over in my head for the last two minutes now. I found myself waking up this morning with a smile on my face. I don't know what brought that smile to creep up on my lips but I'm not denying it from putting me in a good mood today.

The swift appearance of the smile turned rapidly in a grimace as I recalled yesterday's luncheon and its whole purpose. Leland and his parents are staying in my parents' Estate for some kind of business slash vacation thing for the next few months. My mother had kindly suggested that I take charge in giving Leland a tour of the town once Nate and Liz get back from their holiday.

Kyle, my pretend hero-for-the-moment, had at the time chivalrously took charge and offered to be Leland's 'tour guide'. Neither my mom nor Leland were pleased upon hearing his offer. My dad showed amusement with his eyes but he didn't object to the possibility of Kyle taking Leland under his wing per se. Leland's parents were oblivious of my mother's scheming agreed to take Kyle's offer to heart. I almost wanted to jump on Kyle's lap out of gratitude for taking some of the awkwardness away from me at that time.

The harsh buzzing of my Blackberry on my bedside table was enough to bring me back to my normal surroundings and out of my musings. When I looked at the call display, it's flashing one of my friend's number along with her photo. I pressed on the green button to accept the call.

"Hey Josie, how's it going? Are you back in Spain now?" I said excitedly as I sat up in bed.

"Hola Chica! I miss you! But yes for now, I'm back here. Are you coming to visit soon?" she asked

I smiled at sounding her tone matching my own excitement. Josephine Diego is one of my new friends that I have acquired since moving back and forth North America and Europe. Her family owns a printing press in Madrid. Like me, most of her friends are either with a significant other or with child making the whole love for traveling quite strained.

"Well, I have a vacation next week. I haven't decided yet where to go. If you'd like you can join me; I can even pick you up if you want" I said feeling the smile on my face grow the more I talk to my friend.

"Hmm, well, try to come here instead. Oh, by the way, Paula, Diana and Clarissa says hi and they cannot wait to see you again, too. So, I think I have made the decision for you to come, okay?" she said making me laugh out loud.

I can actually hear the other three girls in the background chattering excitedly in the background. One of them, I assume Diana tried telling Josie to hand her the phone. I laughed harder as I heard them started cussing each other out in Spanish. Suddenly, I heard shuffling and the sound of the phone being physically dropped on the other line and then, it got picked up by the other girls, I assume.

"Talia, sorry if you can actually hear nothing but bad words from these two. How have you been?" Clarissa, being the oldest out of all of us, asked.

"Hey, Issa, I've been busy keeping an eye of my nephew. What about you guys? Anybody being locked into any nuptial-related commitment?" I said with a chuckle
