After about an hour and a half ride, we had finally arrived in the beautiful city of Santa Barbara. "Come on! Let's go find somewhere to sit!" Miriam joyously said. We all laughed at her and followed. "Oh! Right here!!" Miriam picked a spot. "I want a soda!" I said to Miriam. "Lily! Can you get me one?" "Yeah." "Ooo me too!" Owen chimed in. I looked at Bruno, assuming he wanted one as well. "I don't want you to carry four bottles by yourself. I'll come with you." Bruno said. "Uh...okay." I said sounding unclear. "We'll be right back." I said. Bruno and I walked together across the street to a little drug store. "Lovely weather we're having." Bruno said, wanting to break the awkward tension. "Yes, yes it is." I responded. We entered the drug store and went to the back where the cold beverages were being held. I skimmed throughout the bottles to see if I can spot out what I was looking for and Bruno did the same. I found it! A Pepsi-Cola. My favorite. I opened the door and bent down to grab it. "Damn baby! You look good." A man whistled. It for sure was not Bruno, but a man standing on the other side of me. I closed the door and tried to ignore him. "Aww don't ignore me sexy." The man then stroked my arm, making physical contact. Bruno came from behind me and pushed the man away from me. "The lady is not interested, keep it moving." Bruno said sternly. "Let the lady speak for herself." The man began to challenge Bruno. Bruno stood closer to the man. "Her silence has spoken. Now, get the fuck out." The man's eyes glistened, and he left. "Are you okay?" Bruno asked me. "Yes". I said holding the bottles. "Thank you. No one has ever done that for me." "It's time someone starts doing so."
