Mia's pov
"Mia, I feel like we need to talk about what happened the other day-"
"Can we not talk about that right now?"
We step out of the hotel and onto the sidewalk where we begin our journey to the small diner.
"Do you know where you going?" Ivan asks me as he trails behind me.
"Yes. I've lived here practically my whole life." I say as I keep my eyes ahead of me, Ivan trailing behind.
I came with on this vacation to have fun, to clear my head but life has a funny way of having bad follow you anywhere you go.
"Mia-" Ivan gets cut off when I turn into the diner I know all so well.
I find Noah and Sam both at the table we usually sit at in the diner but before I could make my way to them I feel a tug at my arm.
"Mia, wait." Ivan spins me around to face him and I'm inches away from him.
"Ivan, what are you doing?" I ask in a hushed tone.
He looks taken back by the amount of space between us and I notice his striking blue eyes flicker down to my lips then back up to my eyes and I felt my stomach do a flip.
No, not again.
"Mia! Hey, Mia!" Sam's voice breaks our daze and I turn my head to see Sam walking up to Ivan and I.
Ivan releases his grip from my arm quickly and steps away from me a little and I instantly felt the tension around us drop.
Sam swings her arms around me in a hug and I hug her back.
"What are you doing standing here like a lost puppy?" Sam asks me as she pulls away from me but then she notices Ivan who looks confused.
"Mia, who's this?"
"Uh, this is Ivan... Ivan Martinez. Ivan's from Barcelona." I introduce.
Ivan's face looks red as he forces a smile on his lips.
Sam reaches her hand forward to shake his which Ivan takes.
"Ivan, I'm Samantha, but you can call me Sam." Her eyes then flicker back and forth between the two of us. "Are you guys like-"
"NO!" I blurt out before Sam could finish her sentence.
Both Sam and Ivan advert their eyes towards me. "No... we're not dating. Ivan and I are just friends and I believe he was just leaving." I give Ivan a knowing look for him to leave but he seemed confused.
"Oh, that's no problem at all, he can join us if he wants." Sam trails off.
"No-"
"Uh, guys?" Noah cuts me off. His eyes are curious as he approaches us as they fall on Ivan.
I mentally face palm myself and mentally sigh.
"Noah, this is Ivan... Ivan, this is Noah."
"Nice to meet you bro." Ivan outstretches his hand for Noah to shake but Noah furrows his eyebrows.
"Uh, yeah. Your drinks arrived unless you girls are just going to stand in the doorway." Noah ignores Ivan's gesture and I noticed Ivan slowly take his hand back and shoves it uncomfortably into his jeans pockets.
I felt really bad for Ivan once I see his face fall in embarrassment.
"Oh okay, Ivan will you be joining us?" Sam asks politely.
Ivan forces a smile on his lips and shakes his head no.
"Nah, that's okay. I should probably go."
"Ivan, you don't have to-"
"It's okay... I'll see you around." Ivan cuts me off and I could see the slight hurt behind those blue eyes and my heart sank.
Noah wraps his arm around my neck and pulls me into his side, he's tall frame towering over me. Ivan just nods his head at Noah and turns around before walking out of the diner and down the street until he's out of sight.
"Well, I think he's really cute." Sam says cutely.
"I think he's weird." Noah says as he's arm disappears from around my shoulders and he turns to walk back to our table.
"You okay?" Sam breaks me out of my daze. I hadn't realized that I had been staring out of the window, almost hoping Ivan would reappear, but he didn't.
"Yeah, I'm all good." I give her a small smile which she returns before following her to where Noah is sat at our table.
