Leaving the gate at Miami International Airport was pretty much easy, my head was spinning from all the drama around my family moving from Coral Springs to Anna Maria, Florida. But at least I could normally breathe.

Sadly my dad's papa passed away after a short but strong battle with cancer. My dad inherited his business, running two small resorts in Anna Marie and a condo right next to their old house. But since my grandma Rose wants to live in the condo, she wants my dad to move to their house because it's a lot bigger, and when I say a lot I mean it, it's hugeeee!

My dad's an architect he knows how to make everything look good, how everything should stand but he doesn't know much about business. My mom, on the other hand, knows a bit more about it since she owns a little café shop by the beach. My parents are just this perfect combination of people. My dad designed the coffee shop and my mom knows a good coffee, especially how to sell it.

My phone beeps and pulls me away from my thoughts.

Kay: "Travel safe sis! Hook up with some hot Czech guys k
*cuz u know u'll be over the sea and nobody there knows that u have a boy back home/in Montreal anyway*
+ bring me back some good beer and Milka chocolate."

Ahh my lovely 17 year old sister Kayla, made my day really.

I quickly text her back.

Me: "You and me both know, that's not gonna happen but hey, I will be on the lookout, maybe I catch a hottie. Please give mom and dad a kiss, plus tell Mike that even tho he's the oldest brother I'm getting that bigger room."

The voice on the speaker started to announce my flight.

* Flight number 7854714 to Zurich, Switzerland is boarding now. *

Great, just short 10h flight and I will be over in Europe and on to the next flight and I'm off to Prague, Czech Republic.

There was always something about Prague that I loved about, the architecture is beautiful and the vibe is great, a week in this perfect place will be the best to get my head back in the game.

I boarded the plane feeling pretty confident and happy, to go on this miny trip was one of the best ideas that I ever had. My phone beeped again.

*New text from Jay.*

Well, this is just great, my lovely boyfriend decided to text me after 2 days of ignoring me, if he's trying to pick up yet another fight then I'm just not up for it.

Jay: "Hey bby girl, I'm sorry for everything, I really am. Anyway, I just wanted to say travel safe and text me when u land in Europe."

Pulling out my headphones and a small blanket from the bag, I got ready for the takeoff.

Thank God for Swiss air really, I never had such a comfortable ride, food was awesome, I watched Friends from the beginning of the flight, knowing that if I would fall asleep then the jet lag would kill me.

After long 16 hours at the airport, plane and the taxi rides, I finally arrived in my hotel. It's 5 pm and I feel so tired, but hey. I quickly hop in the shower, wash my face, refresh and I'm out for some dinner.

Walking down the streets of Prague, I never felt so alive. My stomach started to make some funny noises so I decide it's time to eat something. I found this little bistro just a bit out of the old city center. It was beautiful, oak floor, white brick walls combined with some white ceramics patch tiles with wooden tables and this big comfortable chairs, just perfect.

This young waiter approaches me with a menu.

"Dobrý večer."

"Well hello there." I said with a smile on my face, I still can't get over the fact how funny they talk. He gives me the menu.

"Hi, my name is Joseph and I will be your man for the night." he starts to laugh and scratches his hair.

"Well that sounded wrong, what would you like to drink?"

"Can I get some orange juice?"

"It's coming right away, in the meantime, I will let you pick up the food." he awkwardly walks away and the girl behind the counter starts to laugh.

While I waited I quickly snapped some photos of the place with my camera for my album.

"Here you go, your juice, what would you like to eat?"

"I would love to try some Pasta with Asparagus and Ricotta, plus can I get a glass of chardonnay with it?"

" Sure, no problem." he takes my order and walks off.

My mom and dad would love this place. I quickly snap a photo with my phone and send it to our group chat.

Sophie: "Guysss, it's so beautiful here, mom u can get some inspiration for the new caffee."

Dad: "Well, I will take this as the inspiration for one of those resorts restaurants."

Mom: "It's beautiful, how are you Soph? Everything ok?"

Sophie: "Yeah dad, you should. Everything's okay, I love it here, it's just a bit strange because I don't understand a word that they are saying, I always think how they are gossiping behind my back. The waiter keeps looking at me like I'm kind of a freak, I don't know."

Bro: "Well maybe he just likes you! go get him!"

Mom: "Mike are you out of your mind, she has a boyfriend!"

Kay: "It doesn't matter, Jay is 10.000 miles away, don't listen to mom, just take Mike's advice."

I started to laugh while the waiter brought me my food and a glass of wine.

Sophie: "You guys are crazy. I just got my food, tty later! xx"

I ate my dinner, which was splendid by the way, I grabbed my bag and went to pay for the dinner.

It was around 10 pm when I arrived back to my room, I kicked off my shoes, washed my face, put my hair in a bun and hopped into the bed. It was so soft, like lying on the clouds, I scrolled through my social media seeing a picture of Jay with a teammate and a bunch of girls in the pool, not that I was mad, I was a bit hurt but quite glad at the same time, so I just turned it off and went to sleep.
