I looked at her for a moment before I hung my head.
“Olivia!” she said in exasperation.
“I know! I’m sorry, but once he got started I didn’t want him to have to stop! It was amazing, Cass. Seriously amazing,” I said with a sigh.
“So when are you guys hanging out again?”
“I don’t know. But I’m pretty sure that you and me have a date with Playa Cala Salada!”
Cassidy grinned as we walked out of the room and hotel to hail a cab. I let her speak for us since her Spanish was considerably better than mine and she told the driver where we were going.
We spent all day at the beach. I was never a beach going person, but it was absolutely beautiful and the water was so crisp and clear that I felt truly happy to be there with my best friend and sister.
The sun had begun to go down when we decided it was time to go back. We stopped at a little cafe and grabbed some food to go. Upon entering the lobby of the hotel, the concierge waved me over.
“Señora, tengo un mensaje para ti,” he said holding up a folded piece of paper.
“From?” I asked as I approached.
“Señor Castillo,” he replied as he handed it to me.
“¿Quién?” I asked in confusion.
“Señor Castillo; Alejandro Castillo,” he said.
I thanked him as I took the note from him and looked at Cassidy.
“Alexander Castle,” she said with a grin.
“Yeah I kind of like it in Spanish better,” I replied making a face.
She laughed and I unfolded the note.
Olivia, I would like you to meet me for dinner tonight. I will have a cab waiting for you outside of the hotel at 7pm. Please give me the pleasure of your company. I hope to see you soon.
“What time is it Cass?” I asked folding the letter back up.
“Almost six,” she replied after glancing at her phone.
“Alejandro wants me to meet him for dinner tonight. Is that okay with you?” I asked.
“Yeah that’s fine, we didn’t have any plans tonight.”
I smiled gratefully at her as we parted ways in the hallway and I went into my room. I went straight into the shower and washed myself. Once I was done, I walked into the room hurriedly and started to pull clothes out of my bag to figure out what I would be wearing.
I grabbed a nice pair of blue denim jeans, a blank tank top, and a white dress shirt. I slid my white wedge sandals on again and walked outside to wait for the cab. It showed up about ten minutes later and I got in as the driver pulled away and took me to my destination. It wasn’t as fancy as the restaurant he had taken me to the night before but it was still pretty.
There were tables outside and were full of people sitting around laughing and talking as they ate. I walked up to the maître d and told him who I was looking for. He stared at me for a moment, before running his finger down the list of reservations and nodding, beckoning me to follow behind him.
I glanced around the restaurant as I walked trying to get a glimpse of Alejandro.
“Miss?”
I looked at the maître d as he stopped at a table with two people sitting there laughing and enjoying their dinners like everyone else here.
“Liv!”
I glanced down and noticed that he had stopped me in front of Alejo’s table. And Alejo wasn’t alone; he was sitting there with a very pretty brunette who gave me a tight smile.
