I'm on vacation in Spain and it's my first time here.
My parents are here with me too but they decided they would go wine tasting.
But since I'm underage, I can't drink.
So that leaves me, a little y/c (your country) girl in a really big city, Madrid.
I decided I would go and explore the city.
I put my striped black and white crop top on and matched it with my khaki jeans and some vans. I added a pair of sunglasses because it's really sunny outside.

I took my wallet, lipgloss, sunscreen, phone, etc and put it in my purse and left.
While standing on the sidewalk, not knowing where to go, I decided I would order an Uber.
Ten minutes later the Uber arrived and I told him to take me to the nearest Starbucks.
I skipped breakfast and since it was 1PM, I wanted to have some lunch because I was starving.
In about 5 minutes the Uber driver arrived at my destination.
I walked into Starbucks and it was pretty busy. There was almost nowhere to sit.
I ordered a medium boba tea and a cinnamon roll (or whatever your order at starbucks is).
After giving my name, I went to go look for boot or table to sit at.
Sadly, there weren't any free places.
Then I saw a really handsome brown haired boy with a pair of really nice green eyes.
He was photographing his order.
I decided I would go ask him if I could sit with him.
While I was building up some courage to talk to him, but then I realized something.
I don't speak Spanish.
I was trying to remember what I was thought in middle school but I just couldn't.
I gave up and just google translated it.
I walked up to him and said: "Esta ocupado este assiento?"
Damn, that sounded terrible...
The really attractive boy was trying really hard not to laugh at me but obviously failed.
Instead of making a fool of myself I decided I would try asking him in English.
"So obviously, I'm not from here.. so can I maybe, you know, sit here?"
"He smiled at me and replied with the cutest accent ever: "Yeah, sure. Your attempt of Spanish was cute though.."
I blushed. "Thank you. So are you from around here?"
"Yeah actually. Where are you from?"
"I'm from y/c. I'm here on vacation with my parents but they abandoned me to go wine tasting. It's really boring here because I don't know where anything is, you know?"
"I love y/c. I would love to visit there."
" I love Spain too. Everyone is so welcoming here."
Suddenly, the barista called: "Order for y/n."
And then the boy said: "So that's your name. My name is Manu. Manu Rios."
You shook his hand:" y/n. y/n y/l/n."
The barista calls your name again: "Order for y/n."
"I should probably go get my order. Be right back."
You took your order and came right back to Manu.
"Hi, again." you said.
"Hi uhm y/n? I know we just me and everything but since you don't know the city very well, how about I take you on a city trip? I mean if you don't want to, it's totally fine. I'm not forcing you into anyth-" He rambled. He looked pretty nervous.
"How do I know your not a serial killer?" you joked. You just wanted to loosen him up.
"There's always that chance...." He joked with you. (THE FAULT IN OUR STARS REFERENCE)
"No, but honestly, I would love to go on a city trip with you."
"Really?" he questioned.
"Yeah, really."
"Okay how about I pick you up at your place tomorrow and we'll explore."
"Yeah, that sounds good. At what time?"
"10 AM? There is so much to see in Madrid."
"Okay, do you need my number?"
"That would be useful." He smiled. It took me a lot of courage to not scream.
You exchanged numbers.
Then your mom texted you that she wanted you back at the hotel in 20 minutes so you can do family stuff together like take pictures around Madrid.
Way to ruin the moment, mom.
"Manu, it was so nice meeting you but my mom just texted me and wants my family to do "family stuff" together so I kinda have to go."
"Oh, yeah sure. It was nice meeting you too."
You both got up and he went for a hug but you went for a hand shake.
The definition of awkward right there.
Then he took you hand and kissed it.
You were redder than a baboons butt.
You almost forgot to pay.
You take your wallet out of your purse and head to the cash register.
Manu held you back and says: "You go to your mom, I'll pay."
You hand him the money you where supposed to pay with for your order.
"With my own money." He says.
"Okay, I'll pay you back tomorrow."
"No you won't. I won't accept it."
He was being really difficult.
You sighed: "Okay, thanks, but tomorrow, I'm paying with my own money."
"We'll see about that." He winked.
You say your goodbye's one more time, this time accepting his hug. Damn, that felt good.
You blushed again and said bye.
He replied: "Te veo manana, Amiga."
You left the cafe. All you could think about was How amazing that was and how much fun you will have tomorrow.
