Mexico Day 00 / 01 Before The Flight

The ice were clashing against each other while rolling around within the glass getting the beverage colder, another spin with the straw got the drink to circle around and the ice to mingle against each other making a light and soft sound when they touched the glass and the bubbles rose from the base, it was very calming just staring at the drink and listening to the sounds it made.

- Hang on, I´m going to the bathroom- he lifted his eyes just to see her walk away and thought that this trip was gonna be a nice experience for both of them, traveling without their parents was gonna help to make the bond with his sister a bit stronger, plus they always seemed to have better times when their parents weren't around, somehow when their parent were close they always ended up fighting, but now their parents were gonna be away, a few thousand miles away.

They had made a great time of flying from Tijuana to Mexico City and now there were about to have dinner at the Chili´s that was close to the boarding gate, they had time to spare, he knew the airport really well and was sure that they will get everything in time to keep on with their schedule, he watched her walk back to the table and when he got closer her eyes blinked with a spark of repoval and her nose got a bit crinkled.

-          So nothing yet, huh? - She said a bit upset.

-          Nope, noth´n.

-          Gosh, not even the appetizers?

-          I guess they´ll bring ´em all together, you know, like, the whole order.

-          I hate it when they do that.

Just as she finished those words the waiter came along leaving a set of appetizers on the table, they stared at each other, he was wondering if the waiter had listened and staring at her, feeling her dark deep eyes on him, yeah she was a bit hungry. They giggled softly and as he went on for a stick of celery her first option was a buffalo wing, she rarely used the dips but he always tried to make a better mix using dressings and this time wasn´t the exception as he went on for the blue cheese with the celery.

-          So, you excited? – She asked having another buffalo wing.

-          Kinda – he said keeping his cool

She stared at him, her eyes diving into his. He stared back holding the half celery in his mouth and trying not to smile.

-          Yeah right! – She snorted – It´s been your dream since forever to travel to Europe and you´re KINDA excited? Mhmm I’m gonna believe that.

-          Haha – he added after finishing the celery – Okay okay! I´m excited, like really excited it´s like a drea... no, IT IS a dream come true, visiting all those places that i´ve read about in books, that I've seen in movies- he paused to let out a sigh, it really was a dream come true – I´m really happy i get to do this – he finished looking into her brown eyes.

-          Yeah! You´re happy alright, cuz you´re traveling with me! Who wouldn´t?!

-          Oh yeah! Carrying my baby sister through Europe sound delightful – he laughed

-          Oh! – she said putting her hand on his then added – Don´t worry Hun I’ll take good care of you.- and she started laughing

-          As I will –he added keeping up the laugh.

-          So what the hell is this? - She said holding up a wrap.

-          Ugh – he rolled his eyes, how come she always has to ask him stuff? Didn´t she knew anything? - It´s a ... um... a ... something wrapped in tortilla? I guess- Yeah, he didn´t knew either- but it´s eatable or it wouldn´t be on the appetizer set!

-          Well... - she took a bite on it and tasted it- ... it ain´t that bad

He was about to take one when the waiter materialized by the table holding their orders, she left them in front of each one and left.

They craved into their meals, giggles passed on and half burger done they spoke again, this time he was the one who started, picked some fries and asked her:

-          So you feeling like, sad, that you broke up with your boyfriend? – and he started numbing on the fries.

-          Not really – she picked fries of her own and did the same.

-          No?! – he was all for love and relationships, so ending one was a big event, at least for him, even though he never had one officially.

-          Well, he was really boring – she laughed lightly – I mean he was nice and cute, and well I met him at the volleyball practice so he had a nice body, but I don´t know, he wasn´t like such a thrill to be with.

-          Hmm – he replied, wondering why he met people lately that seemed to find relationships so easy-going.

-          Plus there´s this other guy.

-          Oh?

-          Mhmm, he´s like weird, I mean he has like cute-ish face but there´s something in him, something that says “I’m a bad boy” that I don´t know.

-          That one seems more fun?

-          Hahaha, totally – she took a sip of her coke – So speaking of the loved and the dull, what´s going on with you? I mean you are already 21! Being single it´s not such an amused state, when are you getting someone of your own, I bet there are some guys after you alright!

-          Well there´s this guy I’ve been hanging out with but just like friend hangin out nothing like couple or anything.

-          Mhmm, sure just a friend ... soon to be boyfriend?

-          No haha he´s cute and all but it´s just like a friend, period. Plus I don´t like ´em like that, tall guys have preference haha, and you know that to get taller than us takes someone alright! Haha

-          Haha that you will find to the land we are heading, trust me, tall people were made there haha.

Their meal was gone and the only remaining thing on were their refilled drinks, he placed his hands under his chin and stared at her, she was beautiful, she looked strong, determined and secure of herself, her hair fell all the way down to her shoulders matching the dark brown of her eyes. Yeah –he thought- she will be a heartbreaker alright. Then he rose his hand and the waiter came on to them, he asked for the brownie fudge desert, his sister always had loved cake and chocolate, let’s not talk about chocolate cake. He left out a little giggle.

-          What? – she said after seeing him giggle out of nowhere.

-          Nothing I just thought about buying a little treat.

-          Mhmm, whatever you say.

Few moments later the cake arrived and her eyes went fierce onto it but she hold herself like she didn't want any, how was she supposed to break the diet and strut around Europe at the same time? No, she shouldn't.

-          ´kay so this is to your b´day, I know it´s tomorrow but I’m not sure how much time we´re gonna have to celebrate it, after all seems that Paris is gonna be one tired day hehe

-          Awww that´s so sweet but you know, the diet and ...

-          Oh come on! It´s not like you´re gonna lose the hot body just because of a cake! – He stared at her – you´ve had worse.

-          Well, that´s true hehe – she picked up the spoon and pushed it down the cake- just a tiny bit then hehe.

She tried it and felt the creamy chocolate filling mix with the chocolate cake and her mouth started to melt at that small taste and before she knew the spoon was heading back to her with more.

-          Glad you liked it – he said with a smile- Happy Birthday Mireya, now legally you are an adult hehe now hand over that spoon! – He grabbed the spoon and took a slice of the cake, it really was good, not the best, but it was good.

-          You know it´s not my birthday until tomorrow, so legally noth´n.

-          Yeah I know I know but on your birthday you´ll be probably over the Atlantic so just in case.

-          Well we are heading to Paris, remember Marie-Antoinette?

-          What? You want me to slice your head off in public? – She gave him a bone-freezing-cold look meaning to say “it´s not funny”- Okay okay, I’ll try to get you a french cake in Paris for your birthday.

-          Yay he he and thanks Mark – she was happy, not that the cake really mattered but it was the whole experience that she wanted and it seemed that she would get it.
