Pura Vida Mis Amigos!
Chapter 1
To say that your day was "unlucky" in the beginning would be an understatement of epic proportions. It began of you leaving your hometown of (y/Hometown) to live and attend college in Spain. It sounds perfect, right? The sun, beaches, supposedly reallllyyy gorgeous guys, it's a brand new culture! Plus you could even work on your Spanish (which you were very good at), you were so excited for this opportunity!
….Yet your joy was short lived once you stepped into that airport. Your flight to Madrid was delayed three hours, you dumped hot coffee on yourself while waiting, the airline lost your luggage AND upon arriving to Madrid; you realized that the weather channel had lied to you. It was not a cool and breezy day damnit, it was nearly 100 Fahrenheit upon arrival. To you however, it felt like 105 because of your sweat pants and jacket with a newly dried coffee stain. You were a hot mess at this point.
Regardless of your "unlucky" morning, you stepped off the plain with a large smile plastered on your face. Oh my gosh, this is Spain! You gaped in awe as you realized you could actually read and understand the signs in Spanish without the translations. Thank god for dictionaries. You were gazing around so much that you did not notice a handsome stranger approach you with a sign.
"My My, would you be (name) ma Cherrie?" He asked, you snap back into reality and realize that he is holding a sign with your name on it….as well as a vibrant red rose. You stared at the man quizzically, he had shoulder length blonde hair that seemed to glow when he moved and his bright blue eyes captivated you. He would have looked very young, perhaps younger than yourself had it not been for his semi-muscular build, a pinch of blonde facial hair and a nicely fit navy colored suit with a tie peeking out.
It took you several seconds to respond due to your observations; you were finally able to stutter out "y-yes I-I am (name)." Damnit! This is not the time to stutter, first impressions are everything! Then you realized that it didn't matter how well you spoke, you had a giant coffee stain on your sweatpants and hair back in the most non-formal way possible. Great. I don't even look cute! The man chuckled, noticing your flustered state. "Oui oui, it's a pleasure Madame" He gently grabbed your right hand and placed a kiss on top. "I am Francis, your Chauffeur. I have been sent by the university to escort you and make sure your trip is pleasurable." He winked and your face turned as red as a tomato.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Francis!" Your face became brighter as a smile appears and you gently take your hand away from his warm grip. You quickly remember the bright red rose and steal a glance at it. Francis, noticing your gaze, bows "Pardon me Madame, I have forgotten your gift!" He hands you the rose. "It is a welcome gift from the Student body president of tu clase."
You stare in bewilderment at Francis, What? "Th-This is very kind thank you! But, how did they know I would be arriving?" You were so confused, the school wasn't too small; so how did someone know of your arrival? "Ah! I understand the confusion (name), you are the first foreign exchange student from (y/country) we have had in many years. It is a very exciting time for many at La Universidad!" I'm really that important? I'm an average girl from (country) trying to finish her senior year of college!
As you contemplated the reasoning behind your importance, Francis glanced at his watch "(name) I truly do not wish to rush you, but campus closes early on Sunday's and I believe you'd like to tour campus before retiring, no?" Oh shoot. It's already Mid-Afternoon! You nod your head, "Yes, that'd be nice" Francis bows his head and smiles "Your wish is my command (name), now if you will follow me I shall escort you to your vehicle." He grabs one of your two carry-on bags left and you follow after him closely.
Several minutes later, you arrive in the "pick up" area of the airport. You did not notice a smaller black limousine there until Francis opens the door and gestures for you to enter. A limo? Seriously? You climb and once you are in comfortably; you slump down on the nice leather seat. You sigh, It's been one hell of a day, that's for sure. You hear the engine begin and soon after feel the car lurching forward, you play around with the lights and stereo until you finally find the button that rolls down the window separating you and Francis.
"U-Um, Excuse Me, Francis? How long until we reach La Universidad?" Please please please don't be too long, I'm so exhausted I may just fall asleep right here…if anyone were to find out, I'd lose all respect before even getting to La Universidad! "Ah! It's a twenty minute drive from here, you may rest if need be (name). It's tiresome to travel overseas, no?" Francis smiled a charming smile and glanced back at you in the rear view mirror "It'll be our little secret Ma Cherrie." You gave him a sweet but exhausted smile, thanked him and rolled up the window.
I'll just close my eyes for five minutes….
Three more minutes…
Fifteen minutes later, you awoke inside of the limousine and you briefly caught your reflection in the glass. Oh wow, I look this bad? I'll just change really quick before we arrive, hopefully I'll look a little better in a clean shirt... You reach the bag closest and pull out your extra shirt, you carefully take your coffee stained shirt off and fold it into the bag. You were so preoccupied with putting the old shirt in the bag that you did not realize the car come to a slow and gradual stop in front of a large arch. You also did not realize that the car door was beginning to open as you sat there in your favorite (color) lace bra.
You were startled out of your shirt folding by the door being opened. Slowly a strange, but beautiful man came into view as he opened the door. The strange man was darker than the fair Francis. This man's skin almost seemed to glow with his tan complexion; which happened accented his black suit he was wearing. His lean and muscular form was one that even models could not help but envy. His semi-curly brown hair fell just past his ears, it seemed to shape his well-defined face and eyes. Oh my god those eyes. They were the most vibrant green you had ever seen, they had a seemingly eternal glint of happiness; but right now they were wide and in shock.
The several milliseconds spent of you studying him, had given the poor guy time to blush and awkwardly avert his eyes before closing the door enough so that he could not see you, but still manage to hear you. Finally, the situation hit you Oh my god what just happened?! You internally panic as all sorts of situations play out in your head; but your day dreaming is broken by a sweet voice from outside the door.
"I-I'm so sorry (name)!Perdon! I didn't expect…" His sentence is cut off as you exit the limousine in a clean shirt. As you look at him, you notice his face is as red as the rose in your hand. You muster up all your courage, "Please don't worry! I was at fault, please forgive me?" After you said this, he seemed to relax a bit more; but his blush grew redder "Please, senorita there is nothing to forgive." His tanned lips parted to reveal a gorgeous white smile which made his eyes crinkle a little at the edges. He embarrassedly scratched his head as he smiled and your heart began to beat ten times faster. What's wrong with me?
"Lo siento senorita! I forgot to introduce myself, I am Antonia Carriedo; soccer captain and student body president. I see you got my rose, do you like?" WHAT?! I flashed the soccer captain and the student body president? Kill me now! "Ah sí! Me encanta flores! Muchas gracias Antonio!" He smiled again, I could really get used to that smile. "De Nada senorita, would you like to tour campus or retire to your room this afternoon?" Hmm, as much as I'd love a tour I'm really just exhausted and I don't need another awkward situation for the day…"Can you take me to my room please? I have my papers with my room number here." You hand them to Antonio, he shifts through the papers and looks confused for a millisecond, but it's quickly replaced with another emotion; embarrassment? Why?
He anxiously glances at you and gives you a strained half smile "Ah si si, I know this place. If you'll follow me porfavor." Antonio turns and starts walking towards the arch that signifies the beginning of La Universidad. He walked at such a fast pace it was hard to keep up, but you managed to remain by his side as he nearly ran to your room. You quickly view the campus around you; trees lined a courtyard just inside the arch. On either sides of the courtyard were paths that lead to buildings and dorms. You followed Antonio through the courtyard and followed a path that didn't look as worn as the others. Antonio continued to walk briskly, he seemed too focused for small talk and you couldn't help but wonder what was on his mind.
Finally you stop at the entrance to a small cottage; Antonio sighs and looks at you "This is a house called 'La Vida' it was built by the schools founder over 200 years ago. This is where you will be staying with your roommate." He looked really nervous now, but you were ecstatic! I have a roommate, who is she? I wonder if we'll get along. "Antonio? Is there any way I could meet my roommate?" He shuffled his feet and looked down; he mumbled something under his breath then looked at you with a gentle expression. "Si, senorita. But you've already seem to have met your roommate…" He trailed off, who could it be? Francis? No, he's a chauffeur! Did I pass someone in the courtyard? Antonio cleared his throat, you snapped back to reality. He took a step forward so his face was right next to yours. All traces of anxiety were now gone from Antonio. He now had a mischievous glint in his eyes and his face was still as happy as ever. W-What's going on? You were frozen, he was so close he could kiss you, Antonio leaned into your ear and whispered "Porque, yo estoy tu compañero de cuarto."(1)
WAIT WHAT?!
1: Because I am your roommate.
