Get in the Rhythm {Book 1}

21.

After a 13 hour flight, we had finally arrived.

Barcelona.

Barcelona greeted us with intense heat and beautiful skies. We may have been tired but the heat woke us right up. We got our bags and exited the airport.

We got in a taxi, Avi gave the driver the address and we started driving. "Where are we heading?" I asked.

"We're going to Valencia. We're going to stay with my family" He informed. "It's about a 2 hour maybe 3 hour drive"

"Are your parents expecting us.....I mean you?"

"No......but they can't say no" He reassured.

After the drive, we finally arrived in Valencia at Avi's parents house. We said bye to the driver and took our bags.

Avi knocked on the door and a young woman opened the door. She had brown hair and she had glasses. She looked very similar to Avi. I'm assuming she was Avi's
sister. She saw Avi and screamed in happiness. She jumped into Avi's arms. "Avi! ¿Dónde diablos has estado? Me tenías preocupado." She asked.

"He estado en Los Ángeles"

"¿Quién es este?" She asked

"Esto es Mitch, el no habla Español" He answered.

"Oh, Hi Mitch it's very nice to meet you" She spoke to me. She seemed very fluent in English. "My name is Esther"

"Nice to meet you too, Esther" I said.

"Well come on in" She gestured into the house. "Mom and dad are out at the moment"

"Where can we stay?" Avi asked.

"You can stay in your room" She answered. "Mom and dad haven't touched it since you left"

We walked up the stairs lugging our bags behind us to Avi's room. I observed his room and I saw an amazing view through the window. No wonder Avi lived on the coast of LA.

Avi came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist "Welcome to Spain, precioso" He kissed me on the cheek.

I couldn't wait to meet his parents.

I think the translations are pretty easy to understand in this context.
