I was helplessly lost.
Tourists were on all sides of me pushing and shoving, with their sunburnt kids dragging just feet behind them.
"Come on!" I yelled at my dead phone getting the attention from the tourists. I sighed and sat down clearly giving up. My head was shoved into my knees when someone tapped my shoulder. I lifted my head slowly to take in a tan local with brown ray Bans covering his eyes. He gave me a cocky smirk before extending a hand to me.
Dusting myself off I stood up ignoring the extended hand. "You do know that you're sitting in the middle of a Pierre right? " he finally said.
"Thanks Captain obvious"
"No problem Sargent sarcasm." He said with a salute and a grin.

Can't Stand You

I struggled under him and shoved him off of me. All of the guys were howling with laughter as I got up and swiped all the dirt off me.
