"Mister! Mister!"
With difficulty, I open my eyes, and I saw one steward, looking at me.
"Yes?"
"We arrived, mister."
Still a bit asleep, I'm looking around me. And indeed, there's few people on the plane.
"Oh?... Thank you."
_Time to take my stuff, put my shoes in, and I'm gone. Despite the long line, I went through customs without problem0 But, by the way, next time, I'll take one nonstop flight. It's not I found this annoying, but it was very long and exhausting.
Now I'm in order, let's find Gill. I look around the passage. Besides the unceasing din of luggage wheels, and the omnipresent agitation, still nothing. Oh? Finally, I see her, shaking one sign saying:_ "Bienvenido, Max!"
_Although, I keep staring at her. I may see his picture once, but she really has a cute face. In passing, she also looks at me with a lot of curiosity.
Good, let's meet her before she mistakes me for a lecherous. Nope, for real, it's too late to worry about this._
"Well, hello."
"Hi."
"Pleased to finally meet you."
"Me indeed."
"Otherwise, thank you for the sign. But how did you guess I have Spanish origins?"
"Well, we cannot do more Spanish than your first name, no offense."
"No, it's okay."
"I'm just hoping I didn't make any mistakes."
"Actually, it's almost correct."
"What do you mean?"
"The sentence is correct. Nevertheless, it's missing the backwards exclamation point on the beginning."
"Oh crap! I was really careful, however."
"It's all right, I can teach you some basis, if you want."
"It'll be great, but it's not a teacher I need actually."
"And so, I'll be curious to know- "
RUUUUMBLE. Great, my stomach decides to come forward.
"Wow, err. Is that happening to you often?" She asked me, curious.
"Well, when I'm real hungry, yes."
"But we can eat in flight. Even if it's not awesome, it's better than nothing."
"Yes. But let's say, over two hours flight, I spent one hour listening to music, and the remaining two sleeping." I explained.
"Ouch. So, it's not a big deal. Me too, I'm starting to starve. But I know a place where to eat for cheap."
"Nice, I'm following you, then. You're my guide, clearly."
"Cool, I hope you like grill." She warned me about the menu.
"Sure. But honestly, who doesn't like grill?"
"Hmmm... Vegetarians." She let out, unannounced.
PFFFF! HAHAHAHA! I had trouble to catch my breath after this. I shouldn't laugh this way, keeping a straight face, but her pun was awesome.
"Okay, that's a great one... ha-ha... phew... But seriously, we must respect those people, 'cause it's really honorable as choice."
"Yes, it does, but we would respect them more if half of them weren't so annoying."
"Yeah, you are not wrong."
_On this, I get my jacket, and we're gone. Frankly, I'm starting to like her. She's cute, has a good sense of humor, likeable. I really like her.
After, I still don't know what she wants. So, let us be vigilant, we are never sheltered from a nasty surprise._
