(Bastia, Corsica)
We dive deep into the beautiful island that is Corsica. The sun is shining so bright, the people are singing on the streets, the little kids are playing their games together, the breeze of fresh air strikes upon people's skin. There's something so magical when you're here. It feels like nothing can interrupt the atmosphere that is built here that's what Riley thought while sitting peacefully in a local Café... suddenly she hears a girl and guy arguing very loud.
Riley glances over to them. The blonde girl is wearing a short beautiful red dress with flowers she seems very upset and the guy looks like a worker from the Café. Riley tries to listen to their arguement more closely.„Please i just need one phonecall please !" begs the blonde.
„No money, no phone, go!" yells the worker in a french accent.
„Why can't you just do me the favor for now, i will pay you back i promise." responds the girl.
„No no no, you tourist you i no trust!" says the guy.
„Fine! Alright! Du beschissenes Arschloch, ich hoffe du erstickts an deiner Spucke, have a nice day!" says the blonde girl with a gently voice and a smile on her face. Then she walks away.
This last phrase made Riley chuckle the blonde just fully insulted the worker in german. She said that - he's a damn asshole and she hopes he suffocates on his own spit - . This alone made Riley curious about the young blonde woman. She stands up from her chair put some money on the table and goes quickly after the blonde.
The blonde girl walks some random stairs up and is now standing on a railing with a beautiful view. She put her face in her hands and starts crying.
The brunette had caught up with her. She got closer.„Uhm... excuse me, i accidentally overheard your conversation and uhm... here." Riley says calmly and took her phone out of her pocket. „Das beschissene Arschloch..." she adds with a smile.
The blonde shrugs and looks up.
„Oh shit, i didn't think someone would understand german here. I mean i... i didn't want to insult him but he's was just so mean and not understanding." she explains in frustration.„It's ok, i get it. Some people are like that unfortunately." the brunette says laughing a little.
She notices the girls sad face and wants to cheer her up. „You can call whoever you want"! she gives the girl her phone.„Thanks. I appreciate it alot!" she says with a smile.
Then she looks down and twirles nervously with her fingers. She looks like she wants to burst out. The brunette notices it and encourages her to speak up.
„What's on your mind ? You can tell me if you want to." she says.
„I'M SO FURIOUS! Ever since i landed here in Corsica everything went wrong! At the hotel entrance i left my purse out of sight for literally one minute and it got stolen! Then i tried to look for those thiefes, fall over a stone and hurt my knee. And then the cherry on the cake i let my phone slip through my hands on the ground and it broke immediately!" she lets it all out in one breath.
„Stupid Asterix in Corsica!" she mumbles„Wait what? ... What was the last part?" Riley asks confused.
„Asterix in Corsica, it's my favorite comic book...you probably never heard of it. It's the reason i really wanted to come here i loved it so much as a child BUT if someone would have told me ALL THIS would happen... i would've never come." the blonde looks down with a tear falling from her face.
This poor girl.
Riley thought while listening to her devastating story. She feels very sorry for her.„Hey try to look at the bright sight, you did not die. I mean from here now on it can only go up hill, right." Riley forms a smiley face and does a ridiculous dance, tries to cheer the girl up.
It was clearly not the best joke but it makes the sad blonde laugh. Riley couldn't help herself but stare at her cute smile. She was enchanted by her mesmerizing ocean blue eyes.
„In all the hustle and bustle, i didn't catch your name ?! Mine's Riley." She smiles and stretches her hand out.
„I'm Maya." She smiles back and shakes her hand.
Maya was relieved that at least one person would listen to her and was understanding of her situation.
„Now, go call your family or whoever let them know what happened. You can take your time. I'll be waiting here." Riley speaks calmly.
„Yeah, right thanks again. I will! You have no idea how happy i am that you are here!" Maya gets closer to Riley and hugs her with a full swing. That hug felt so good for both of them. Riley blushes a little. She didn't expect a hug so soon. Maya then walks away and finally calls her family.
