Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Friends, sun, sand, and sea, that sounds like a summer to me [unknown]

Many childhood holidays, as I packed my swimsuit and summer clothes, I’d be dreaming of making a new friend to sweeten the memories of my vacation. A girl my age to talk and hang around with; we’d explore places, and I’d feel braver about new experiences. I grew up and that wish to meet a friend was replaced by desire for a holiday romance.

…How little I knew.

Sitting at the airport, suitcase checked in and carry-on by my feet, the biggest adventure in my eighteen-year life was beginning. My first time catching a plane, plus two weeks without parental supervision! Best friend Poppy and her cousin were with me — I wasn’t taking this adventure alone, but both were seasoned travellers.

… I was a novice.

I put on headphones and lost myself in a holiday playlist, but when it was time to board the plane, my excitement bubbled up. This was happening!

Our adventure was chilled. Lying on the beach all day, eating out every evening before visiting different clubs at night. Three chicas were hot property for any club or bar, single girls drew the male clientele like catnip. For us, the door was free, with a complimentary drink thrown in.

We loved to dance, throwing shapes on tiny squares of parquet, crammed into a dive bar, or shaking a tail-feather in impressive, luxe surroundings with cocktails and swirling lights.

We were young and there to have fun.

Was male attention our goal? I noticed guys looking, and hoped they were liking. Some admirers made their intentions overt. We frequented the Pink Flamingo Club, where I met Paulo, cousin to Marco, Poppy’s flame from previous visits to the resort. She had dating experience.

… I was as green as grass.

Where might this lead?
