'so what was it like?' asks luisa on skype as i pack my bag.

'it was pretty nice to be honest but is there something you may have forgotten to tell me?'

'nooooo.'

'just the fact it was the guy i was in love when i was 17 years old.' i say rolling her eyes.

'alright fine, i did know but i didn't want to say anything. and plus now he's rich, famous and hot. like i would really not like you go on a date with him.'

'didn't you forgot what a douchebag, he used to be?'

'ah hah past tense! which means now he's changed.'

'okay you do have a point, he was the ultimate gentleman. but he didn't recognise me.'

'he didn't?'

'nope, i guess changing your hair colour and getting a pair of boobs does change a person.' i say laughing.

i zip my suitcase shut, unplugging my iphone and putting the charger in my bag.

'so where are you and alejandro going now?'

'germany, dortmund to be more precise. i have no why he choose dortmund but i've never been so it'll be an experience. but we're only there for 2 days then we're going to italy.'

'and you're going to see me!' says luisa happily.

suddenly my phone vibrates on the bedside table.

'who is it from?' asks luisa, mouth full of food.

'paulo.' i say furrowing my eyebrows as i read the text.

unknown number : hey tina, it's paulo

i just lock my phone.

'you're not going to reply?' asks luisa.

'not yet, i don't want him to think i want anything more than friendship with him.'

'you're going to lead him on?'

'i wouldn't say lead him on, i would giving him a taste of his own medicine.'

alejandro and i are currently on the plane on our way to dortmund, the flight is around 5 hours long. we're about 4 hours into the flight and alejandro slept more of the way.

'are we there yet?' he asks slowly waking up.

'not yet, we still have about an hour left sleeping beauty.' i say laughing as he groans.
