In The End

Chapter 5

In the morning I go down to the beach early and scan it for Alessandro but he's not there. Disappointed, I trudge back to the hotel to see him in the hotel lobby. 'Alessandro' I call and he turns around to me, grinning broadly. 'I was looking for you. Have breakfast with me?' he asks, his French accent strong. I nod, still smiling and he walks out the front door, motioning for me to follow him. I follow him out to a large Range Rover and I climb in ungracefully. Only me. I watch him slip in, start the car and take off along the road, stones crunching under the wheels. What has happened to me?. In less than 2 days I've turned from a geek into someone that Alessandro seems to like. I've climbed into a car with a random stranger I don't even know that well and strangely, I feel fine with it. Alessandro drives smoothly through the town and stopping at a cute little shop painted crimson with white lace curtains. 'Welcome to St. Nicks, best waffle and pancake bar around' He says and I grin. Top 2 things to have for breakfast, waffles and pancakes. (Then poptarts). He leads me inside and pulls out a chair at the back letting me sit in it and pushing it lightly before taking a seat opposite me. 'I recommend either the Cinnamon Apple Melt Pancakes or the Super Caramel Yum waffles. Both are gorgeous, like you' he says and I blush. I mentally kick myself for dressing so sloppily. Rolling Stones shirt, grey skinny jeans and vans with a beanie on my tangled hair, my glasses slightly crooked on my nose. 'Ill take both' I say and he grins. ' I love girls with a good appetite. I'll get the same' He says and I grin. Bring it on. Alessandro motions for the waitress. She comes over, smiling. 'Alessandro!. My best customer. Who is this beautiful lady?' She asks. 'Trixie this is my special friend Carmela. Carmela this is Trixie' He introduces and I nod at her shyly. 'Such a beautiful name. A beautiful girl too. You picked well Alessandro' She says and I blush deep red. We place our orders and Trixie walks away. Alessandro takes my hands and looks me in the eye. 'I want to get to know you better, tell me about yourself' He says. I gulp. 'Well my full name is Carmela Michaela Anderson. I have an older sister Cassia. Gaming is life. I'm turning 19 in two days. I want to be a vet when I grow up.I sew a lot. My favourite colour is Yellow. Oh and I have a dog Rowler and two cats Daisy and Paws' I finish and by now Trixie returns with our plates. Oh my. The steaming golden plates gleam in my eyes. It looks so good. I take a bite of waffles, moan a little and take a bigger bite. It tastes heavenly. 'Tell me about yourself' I say, taking a sip of iced tea. 'Alright. I'm Alessandro Cruz Reyes. I'm 20 years old. I have four brothers, Greggory, Bruno, Pascal and River. My mother bakes in the bakery in town. I have a lizard Terence. I too, would like to be a vet. My favourite colour is Red. I love waffles and meeting interesting new people' he says and looks me in the eyes. When we finally finish eating we leave and Alessandro drives me back to the hotel. 'Maybe see you later?' I ask him. 'I guarantee it' He says and I skip up to my room, happy. That is until I step into the hall of my room and see my Mum there, arms crossed tight lipped and furious. Well I'm screwed.
