'ahh' you let out a sigh as you looked around. Your friend Gilbert, who had long since abandon you, had dragged you to a beach party that he assured you 'would be totally awesome!', in a neighborhood you had never been to before. You didn't know anyone aside from Gilbert, and you weren't that good at making friends, so when he disappeared you wandered away from the party. You finally gave up on texting him and trying to find him and sat down on a log next to a fire pit, with a dim fire burning inside.

You starred into the flame, thinking about how long it would take to walk to the nearest bus station to get home.

You were just about to get up when a voice stopped you.

"hola chica, what's a beautiful girl like you doing out here all by yourself?" you looked up to the source of the voice. Standing there was a man, with flawless tan skin, bright welcoming green eyes, and perfect white teeth peeking out from under his lips as he smiled at you.

He took a seat on the log next to you .

"h-hi" you said shyly, looking down at your feet sure you were blushing in the presence of the man.

"so what brings you out here?" he asked. You noticed that he had a thick Spanish accent, although it didn't distort his English at all.

"my friend brought me out here for a party, but I don't know where they ran off to." you smiled at him, and he smiled back.

"what about you? Why are you out here?" you asked curiously.

"I like to come out here and admire the beauty of the ocean." he turned so he was looking out a the ocean. Then he turned his head back to you.

"I've always liked beautiful things." You felt a blush once again rising to your cheeks as he said this.

"what did you say your name was again? I'm Antonio."

"(name)." you replied smiling as you tucked some hair behind your ear shyly, trying to avoid his gaze.

"so (name), do you want to go do something with me lat-" he began but was cut off.

"(name)! We have to get going now unless you want the awesome me to leave you here!"

You turned to see Gilbert walking off the beach towards his car. He was already pretty far away and you began to worry he might actually leave you there.

You turned back to Antonio desperately wanting to continue your conversation with him.

"I…umm" you began embarrassed, but he still smiled at you all the same.

"it's alright chica, go, I'll see you again soon, yes?" you smiled again relived he wasn't angry with you for leaving.

"yeah of course!" and with that you ran off to Gilbert's car.

(~time skip~)

You walked through the streets of downtown, glancing into the windows of shops, hoping that some shopping would make you feel better.

It had been nearly a week since you had meant Antonio. Even though you barely knew him you couldn't stop thinking about him.

As you walked father down the street, the peaceful sound of guitar music filled your ears.

'I don't know why I bother. He's probably already forgotten about me.' you thought sighing.

Then suddenly, you noticed the music had stopped.

"(n-name)?" you froze.

'it couldn't be.' you turned around to see Antonio getting up from a chair, setting his guitar in it's case, and hurrying over to you.

"so that was you playing? Your really good." you smiled over joyed to see him. His smile brightened.

"thank you, it means a lot that you like my music." you both stood there for a minute and Antonio seemed to be growing nervous, shifting from foot to foot, and wringing his hand.

"listen (name). I know we just meant, but.. I just can't get you out of my head. Would you like to go to dinner with me tonight?"

your heart seemed to skip a beat. Was this really happening?

"yes, yes I would love to!"

Relief flooded his face.

"oh good, I was afraid you were going to say no. so tonight at eight?"

"yeah, that would be great!"
