A Multicultural Romance
Alejandro is walking around the college campus when he bumps into Tyler. He only speaks Spanish- no English. He notices Tyler's butt.
As Alejandro hurried across the bustling college campus, his mind whirled with the excitement of a new day. His sharp wit and clever humor were always at the ready, a shield against any challenges that came his way. Suddenly, as he turned a corner, he collided with someone, almost dropping his books. Looking up, he found himself face to face with Tyler, the star quarterback of the college football team. Alejandro's eyes involuntarily flicked down to Tyler's distinctive feature—his big butt. Alejandro felt a rush of embarrassment as he quickly averted his gaze, realizing that Tyler was speaking to him in English.
"Uh, lo siento, no hablo inglés," Alejandro said, feeling a bit flustered. He hoped Tyler would understand his limited language skills, but the bemused look on Tyler's face suggested otherwise. Alejandro's quick mind raced with possible ways to communicate, but he couldn't shake off the distraction of Tyler's prominent derrière. He shook his head, trying to focus on the conversation at hand.
Tyler, with a friendly smile, gestured with his hands and tried to speak in broken Spanish. Despite the language barrier, there was something in the way Tyler's eyes sparkled that drew Alejandro's attention, making him forget about the awkwardness of the situation for a moment.
Mention another time Alejandro sees Tyler.
A few days later, Alejandro was at the college library, immersed in his Spanish literature class assignment. As he flipped through the pages of a classic novel, he heard a familiar voice speaking in halting Spanish. Glancing up, he saw Tyler, the star quarterback, looking slightly out of place among the towering bookshelves. Tyler was attempting to ask the librarian for help in Spanish, but his words were a jumble of mispronunciations and incorrect verb tenses.
Alejandro couldn't help but chuckle at Tyler's earnest attempts to communicate in Spanish. As Tyler turned to leave, their eyes met, and a small smile tugged at the corners of Alejandro's lips. Despite the language barrier, there was a warmth in Tyler's gaze that sparked a curiosity in Alejandro. It was as if their shared struggles with language had created a silent understanding between them, one that transcended words and cultural differences. A flicker of something unexpected stirred in Alejandro's heart, and he found himself looking forward to the next time their paths would cross.
Talk about Tyler's POV.
Tyler, the star quarterback of the college football team, never been one to dwell on academic pursuits. He was more at home on the football field, where his athleticism and affable demeanor had won him the admiration of his peers. However, as he found himself drawn to Alejandro, he couldn't shake the feeling of being out of his depth. Despite his limited Spanish, he was determined to break through the language barrier and get to know Alejandro better.
As Tyler struggled to conjugate verbs and string together coherent sentences in Spanish, he found himself thinking about Alejandro more often than he cared to admit. There was something about the way Alejandro's eyes sparkled with intelligence and his quick-witted humor that captivated Tyler. He couldn't help but feel a sense of intrigue and attraction, despite the skepticism of their friends and family about their potential relationship.
Tyler's mind often wandered back to their encounters, and he found himself wondering about Alejandro's world—the tight-knit Mexican-American community, the language that flowed so effortlessly from his lips, and the intelligence that shone through his every word. Despite the doubts and misunderstandings that surrounded them, Tyler couldn't deny the pull he felt toward Alejandro, and he found himself eagerly anticipating their next meeting, hoping to bridge the gap between their different worlds.

After an intense workout, Tyler headed to the locker room to shower and change. As he entered the steam-filled shower area, he was surprised to see Alejandro there, his lean, muscular form glistening under the water. Alejandro's back was turned, and he seemed unaware of Tyler's presence.
