March 25th

The bandana boy looks surprised when we walk in. 'Hey, how's your head?' I laugh and tell him my head is doing fine. He tells me his head is fine as well. 'You guys know each other?' 'We had a head butt accident in the shopping street today.' 'Oh wait, didn't we bump into each other in the clothing store as well?' I nod. 'Yep, that was me.' 'Well this is what they call destiny then, Summer. I'm Richard, nice to meet you.' I am startled by the fact he calls me Summer, but I realize that the security guard said my name. The bandana boy introduces himself as Joel and a few minutes later, three other (may I say also very cute) guys walk in. Zabdiel, Christopher and Erick. How is it possible for a group of friends to all be so extremely handsome, hot and cute at the same time. Richard and I have great conversations about stupid things and we laugh a lot. He is actually very nice. I never meet people in a club who are this nice. Give this guy a medal. Katarina gets up from the couch. 'I need to go to the toilet. And both of you are joining me, thank you.' Before I can pull her hair and tell her that I was very close to getting Richard to say the magic "go home with me" words, Kat pulls me and Isa along. 'We need to talk.' 'Why do you like talking so much? Just let me go home with that beautiful guy that keeps saying beautiful Spanish words that I don't understand.' 'How do you know what he's saying?' Isa asks with her head tilted to the right. 'I have no idea, but the words sound so beautiful. I still need to ask what he said this afternoon.' 'What did he say?' 'Guapa.' Kat scoffs 'Probably means goldfish.' 'No he thinks you're beautiful.' One of the stalls' doors swings open and a girl I've never seen before steps out. All three of us are following her moves as she starts washing her hands. 'My ex was Spanish.' And then she leaves. 'She was like a translation angel. That was crazy.' Says Isa, who is still staring at the door. I wake up from the daydream of seeing a translation angel. 'Okay, he thinks I'm beautiful. I am SO going to fuck this guy.' Before Kat can stop me, I run back to the VIP booth.

RICHARD POV

'No Zab, I swear, this was meant to be. She is beautiful AND funny. And I told you about her right? About how she bumped into me.' 'You did Richard, but go slow yeah? She could be a crazy fan.' 'Negative, her eyes didn't even go fangirl crazy when she looked in my eyes this afternoon. Fans always have the fangirl crazy eyes.' 'See Zab, Joel knows. And the look she gave me when I helped her get rid of that man. I think she might be dating material.' Zabdiel sighs and shakes his head. 'I still think you should go slow. You don't know her. And if you actually like her, you shouldn't... You know...' 'Zab, honestly? I know how to deal with these kind of things.' 'No you don't.' Erick and Chris say at the same time. 'Screw you guys.' I let my head fall back. 'Hi.' When I look up, Summer approaches me. 'Hola bonita.' Then she sits herself down on my lap and softly sings the Madonna song "La isla bonita". I find it extremely cute and I can't stop myself from leaning in. She turns her face and my lips touch her cheek. Wow, this is embarrassing.
