Chapter 17

                                    

                                          
Eleanor POV
"Spain has so many cool things. I kind of feel bad for exploring it without you right now." I'd talk into the speaker. "Don't stress woman. Enjoy your time there." Maya encouraged me. "I guess you're right." I smiled to myself. 
"How has playboy been to you this past week?" I could already tell where this was headed. "He's been at practice mainly. He has a game tomorrow that I think I should go to." I'd walk passed a bunch of pastry shops. "You're an official WAG." She teased. "Yup. Once I get my license I'll start driving him so his mom doesn't have to." I walked into a pastry shop. 
"Speaking of which, how are you getting along with his mom?" She seemed to be a little bit worried. "Really good. She treats me like her daughter." I felt a smile creep up on my face. "And you must treat her like your mom." Maya sounded happy for me. "Yeah." I picked out a pastry and some coffee.
"Listen, I'll call you back later and most definitely text you in like 5 minutes to show you this amazing food." I pulled out my credit card to pay. "Sounds good." She laughed, hanging up.
"Are you new here?" The man at the cashier asked. "Oh, yes." I inserted my card. "Welcome to Madrid. Coffee is on the house." He flashed me a smile. "Thank you." I took the receipt from him. This place was pretty packed so I should probably find somewhere else to sit down and eat.
I walked a half a mile until I saw an empty table outside of a candy shop. My phone pinged in my pocket. I'd reach back for it. "Who the hell is spamming me?" I pulled out my phone, checking. 
I bumped into what felt like a brick wall. "Shit!" A man yelled. I'd look up. There was coffee spilled everywhere on the man's suit. "Oh my gosh, are you okay?" I watched as he threw his coat jacket off. "How about you watch where you're-" He looked at me. "Oh.." 
"I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to." I looked at his now, very drenched dress shirt. "It's fine." He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Is there a way I can pay you back?" I reached into my pocket for some cash. "Here, you can use it for the dry cleaning-" I'd pull out a couple twenty's. 
"I don't need money." He declined. "But there is another way you can pay me back." He'd examine my face. "What?" I stood there dumbfounded. "Have dinner with me." He looked intently into my eyes. Don't get me wrong, this man was GORGEOUS. But it's a breach of contract... 
"I'm not a creep, don't worry. I just... never seen someone so beautiful roaming around." He smiled. "Well that was straightforward." I nervously laughed. "I tend to speak my mind. So what do you say? Nicest diner, free food." He's trying really hard to convince me. It's tempting, and I'm sure Jude is going off taking other women out. So what's wrong with me being a little selfish this time?
"Sure, why not. Just don't bring an axe with you." I joked. "Here's my business card. Just call the number and tell them that you want to speak with Mr. Rodriguez." He winked at me and walked off. I can't believe I just let this man talk me into that. Am I that easy? 
What's worse now is that I have no coffee, no food. And it's past lunchtime, I'm fucking starving. I picked up the empty coffee cup and dumped it in the garbage.
