Vanessa Carson never really had much luck when it came to romance.
She needed to get away from life and thanks to her best friend Riley she was heading to Spain for a week.
But what was supposed to be a relaxing and fun holiday, turns into one ful...
The next morning I woke up with a mission: find out more about Xander. He's sometimes open and friendly and other times he's a mystery to me, but that's what intrigues me about him.
Outfit. The below. Hair: wavy, half up half down.

"Morning" Xander said walking into the kitchen, "morning" I said smiling back, "breakfast is served" I announced while placing two plates of eggs and avocado toast on the counter, "there's also a fruit salad" I said while picking up the bowl and taking my seat, "thank you" he said with a smile while taking a seat next to me, "I wasn't sure what you liked so I hope this is ok" I said mentally crossing my fingers, "it's perfect" he reassured me.
"Thank you again for breakfast, my turn tomorrow" He said as we walked up the trail, "be my guest" I replied with a grin. "Let's play 21 questions" I proposed, "alright" he said amused after hesitating. "We'll start easy, how old are you?" I asked, "26 in October, you're 23 right?" He said making me nod in response.
"Favorite food" I asked soon after, "frosting" he immediately responded, "frosting?" I asked amused, "buttercream to be exact" he said in a serious tone which made me laugh, "it is delicious" I said somewhat agreeing with him, "what's yours?" He asked with a smile, "bread" I said after thinking it through.
"Favorite color?" I asked already knowing the answer, "if it wasn't already obvious, black" he confirmed as we both laughed, "green for me" I said with a smile.
"If you could have any superpower, what would it be?" He asked in a curious tone, "teleportation would probably be the most useful one" I said while thinking out loud, "glad to hear your answer isn't flying" he said with a grin, "I'd have to have telekinesis" he added, "and why is that?" I asked interested, "it'd be similar to having super strength but without lifting a finger" he explained sure of himself, "can't argue with that" I replied amused.
"Do you believe in ghosts?" I asked after we stopped for a water break, "sure, haven't seen one yet though" he said with a shrug, "same here" I replied with a smile before taking a sip from my bottle.
Once we started walking again, "biggest pet peeve?" He asked giving me a quick glance, "inconsiderate pedestrians aka when the person in front of you stops walking all of a sudden" I said before rolling my eyes, "good one, I think mine is when you hold the door for someone and they don't acknowledge your existence" he said making me laugh, "rude much" I said in agreement.
"Ok, favorite holiday?" I asked, "isn't everyone's answer Christmas?" He said in a duh tone as if it was obvious, "nope, Halloween for me" I said proudly making him raise an eyebrow, "weirdo" he muttered to himself, "says the frosting guy" I muttered back making us both laugh.
"What books do you like to read?" He asked with a smirk on his face, probably referring to the book I was hiding from him, "you know, just your typical crime books" I casually said not wanting to give away the full truth, "right" he said not convinced, "what about you?" I asked trying to turn the attention on him, "thrillers mostly" he replied with a shrug.
