Enjoy =) and review if you want to haha=)
26. Europe
"I'm sorry," Jeff said again. "I'm so embarrassed, but I can't speak Spanish." Jeff turned to Nick, confused, as the woman burst into laughter and walked away, shaking her head.
"Jeff, she thinks you said you were pregnant!" Nick said, laughing as well.
"What?" Jeff asked, turning pink.
"Pregnant in Spanish is 'embarazo,' Jeff."
"Well excuse me, Mr. fluent," Jeff mumbled, the blush spreading to the tips of his ears.
Nick had convinced Jeff to come with him to Spain during the summer. Nick, completely fluent, was having the time of his life making fun of Jeff as he struggled to communicate.
"So do you want to eat?" Nick asked.
"If you order," Jeff said, following after Nick as he stopped at a local restaurant.
"No, I want you to try," Nick said. "I'll tell you what to say, and you can try to order!"
"You just want to laugh at me more!" Jeff squeaked.
"Come on, that's not…well that's not the only reason," Nick laughed.
"Fine," Jeff harrumphed. "But you have to tell me exactly what to say."
"Ok, say: ¿Puedo tener dos enchiladas sin la crema amarga?"
"Wait, what exactly am I ordering?" Jeff asked.
"Two elephant tongues with hot sauce," Nick said, completely serious.
Upon seeing the protestant, disgusted look on Jeff's face, Nick laughed, "I'm kidding, Jeff! I'm kidding. You're saying: 'can I have two enchiladas with no sour cream."
"Good, I hate sour cream." Jeff crinkled his nose.
"You think I don't know that? Remember the first time we went to Taco Bell together at home and you took one bite then ran to the bathroom and puked your guts out?"
"An experience I am trying to forget, by the way," Jeff mumbled, but he was smiling. That had been his and Nick's third date,
"Ok, we're next, ready?"
"Wait! Say it again?" Jeff asked. Nick repeated the Spanish order.
¿Puedo ayudarle?" the lady at the counter asked.
Jeff looked at Nick who mouthed "can I help you?"
"Uuum, yeah! I mean, si. Si, uuum, puedo tener dos enchiladas…uuum, sin la..uuum, crema amarga?" The lady nodded and turned around.
Jeff looked at Nick with such a look of proudness and accomplishment on his face that Nick couldn't help but rush in to give him a hug.
"That was perfect, baby! So, what do you think fo Europe so far, anyway?"
"It's bearable," Jeff answered. "But only cuz I'm with you!"
