Felix and I had left the rental house and decided to venture around Los Angeles by ourselves. I thought it was going to be little awkward since this was the first time we had seen each other in person, but it actually wasn't.
"So, where do you want to go?" I asked.
He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders, "I don't care. Anywhere. It's all exciting to me."
I smiled and started up my car and decided to drive to the local boardwalk. The boardwalk was basically a pier by the beach with a shopping area and a carnival. It was the place to be, especially at night.
When we were driving, Felix insisted we put all the windows down and scream at random passerbys. I just laughed and let him do whatever he wanted.
I nearly died when he yelled "Nipples!" at a passing elderly couple.
Then he turned up the radio to full blast when "I Need Your Love" came on.
"This is my jam!" He screamed.
I laughed as he sang each and every word in a girly voice like he was trying to be Ellie Goulding.
'I could get used to having him around.'
I said to myself.
We arrived at the boardwalk about five minutes later and walked down the wooden walkway in the heat of the California sun. I looked at my phone and noticed that it was about lunch time.
"You wanna grab something to eat?" I asked.
"Yeah sure. I love food." He said.
We walked to a little restaurant that looked like it was deserted. Perfect for two YouTube stars. After we ordered our food, Felix pulled out his phone and began to record.
"How's it going bros? I am here at a little restaurant in Los Angeles with my friend Maddie. Say hi, Maddie."
He pointed the camera at me and I smiled and waved. "Hey there bros."
Felix put the camera back on him as I waited patiently on our food and took it to a nearby table. As soon as he noticed it was done, he stopped recording and sat down across from me and began to ate.
A still silence fell between us as we ate, but I decided it was time to speak.
"This isn't your first time in the states is it?" I asked.
He shook his head, "No. I've been to New York City. But this is the first time I've been to Los Angeles."
"So I figure you and Marzia want to do all the major sightseeing together, right?" I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders, "I suppose so. She would probably get mad at me if I went without her."
My eyes were wide, "So is she going to get mad that we left her today?"
"She shouldn't since she was the one who said we could go if we wanted." He replied.
I took a bite of a french fry and shook my head. "That sounds reasonable."
I was just concerned because I didn't want Marzia to hate me after first meeting me. I knew how girls reacted with their boyfriends being around other girls.
A cell phone began to ring and I looked to see if it was mine, but it was Felix's.
He looked up at me and said, "It's Marzia."
"Hello?" He said as he answered it.
I heard her strong Italian voice flow out of the phone and across the table, but I couldn't make out any words.
"Tonight?" He asked.
After some more talking, he said, "Yeah okay. I'll ask her. I love you. Bye."
He hung up the phone and placed it in his pocket before smiling at me.
"Do you want to go to a party tonight?" He asked.
I cocked an eyebrow, "What kind of party?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not sure. Marzia just said a lot of YouTubers and other cool people are gonna be there and that we should all go."
I thought about it, wondering if I really wanted to go or not. But I remembered what my mom had told me about getting myself out there. If there were going to be other YouTubers at this party, maybe they could help me out.
I looked at Felix and smiled, "I'm in."
He smiled back. But then my women senses kicked in.
"What am I supposed to wear?" I asked as I ran my hand threw my hair.
Felix did the same and gave me great big bug eyes. "I have no idea! I was wondering the same thing!"
I rolled my eyes and slapped his arm as he laughed at me.
"Why don't we go shopping?" He asked.
I can't believe he just said that!
"You're a guy! Guys don't know how to shop unless they're gay."
He looked at me and gasped. "I'll have you know I know a lot about shopping thanks to Marzia."
I laughed, "I was only joking. If you want to, let's go."
"Yay! Shopping!" He yelled.
The people who worked in the restaurant looked at us weirdly and we just laughed because we knew they had no idea what was going on.
As soon as we finished our food, we walked back down the boardwalk and to my car to travel to the mall.
