Next morning we were up at 8 to catch our flight to Barcelona at 9
We land in Barcelona at just gone 10:30 we checked our stuff into the hotel then went for a walk which was nice.
We had some lunch at a lovely little place about 10 minutes' walk from the arena.
"Your drinks." The waiter said handing out our drinks
"Thanks a lot." I said smiling at the waiter who looked taken aback at the fact that I had said thank you
"Your very welcome." He said smiling
When he brought our pudding there was an extra scoop of ice cream on my plate that I hadn't asked for.
I just smiled to myself, making a mental note to give him a tip before we left. The food was lovely and the ice cream was just what I need.
When the waiter came over with the bill we split it between us, the others left and I went up to the waiter and handed him €10 note to say thank you. He had the biggest smile on his face.
We headed to the arena it was another open top arena which made it nice to do sound check in. It wasn't as hot but it was still hot enough for us to need a lot of water. Show time came and it had cooled down so much which was nice. It made for a cooler show.
The show finished at just gone 10. I wasn't sleepy so I went out for a run and as I was passing the place we had eaten our waiter was just walking out in running shoe and running gear so I stopped.
"Do you want to run together for a bit?" I asked
"Yes ok." He said he seemed to recognise who I was and he smiled
"You're the nice lady from earlier." He said as we started to run
"Yeah that me." I said smiling
"Thank you." He said
"What for?" I said looking at him
"For being so nice to me." He said
"I only said thanks for bringing our drinks" I said as we ran past a building that looked a lot like a hospital
"Not many people are that nice. I'm guessing the little boy sat next to you was your son. He said thanks as well." He said
"I was brought up with my mother, please and thank you were a must, you didn't say it then you didn't get what you wanted." I said smiling
"A lot of British people come over and they don't seem to have the manners. It was a nice change to get a thank you from you all today. I'm Alic by the way." He said smiling
"Rhianne lovely to meet you Alic. That not a very Spanish name I have to say." I said smiling
"It's Spanish short for Alexander." Alic said
"Oh I like it different." I said
"Mums English, Dads Spanish but I was born and raised here in Spain. So never been to England. I know my mum moved back when her and my dad split when I was about 7 I've lived with my dad ever since. I haven't seen my mum since she left and that was about 14 years ago." Alic said
"You're not 21?" I said looking at him
"Yeah my birthday today." Alic said smiling
"Woah. Came on let me get you a drink." I said smiling
"No you have already given me money today. I can't have you buy me a drink as well." Alic said
"Come on one drink won't hurt." I said smiling
"Ok there's a lovely little place just up here." Alic said pointing to a nice little pub just in front of us
We had a drink and a lovely chat and parted our ways.
"I only have to work in the morning tomorrow maybe we could meet and I could show you and your friends around." Alic said
"Yeah that would be nice if we come in for lunch again." I said smiling
"That would be nice." Alic said
He ran towards his home and I ran back toward the hotel and was met with a rather stressed out band.
"Where the hell have you been?" They shouted
"Out for a run is that a crime?" I said
"It is when you have been out for nearly 2 and a half hours." Dougie said
"Really has it been that long. Time flies." I said heading towards the stairs to go up to my room
"Where have you been Rhi." Dougie asked
"If you must know I saw our waiter from lunch coming out of work in running gear." I started but before I could finish James said "what waiter?"
"The nice young chap, at that little Spanish place just down the road." I said glaring at James
"You ran with him. He could of been a murder you know. You could have been kidnapped and I wouldn't have known." Dougie said
"Dougie babe after living with you for just over 20 odd years and having to fight my way out of tight spots I think I could handle one guy who looked like one punch would knock him out cold. I wasn't too worried." I said finally reaching our floor
"So what did you do with him then?" Dougie asked as we were walking to our room
"We went for a drink it was his birthday today." I said opening the door to our room to find, Emma, Georgia Seb, Izzy River and Buzz sat in there.
"Did you wake half the hotel up because I had gone missing." I said glaring at Dougie.
"Not the whole hotel. Just our lot." Dougie said
"You found her then?" Emma said
"No she came back she had gone for a run with the waiter from lunch." Dougie said
"The waiter?" Emma said
"Yes the waiter. Now if you don't mind I would like a shower and to go to bed thanks." I said they cleared out apart from Dougie and Seb I had a shower then climbed into bed.
"Sorry for over reacting." Dougie said
"Why didn't you just ring me?" I said looking at him
"I didn't think of that." Dougie said
"Well that's not my fault." I said with a smile on my face.
