Brooke smirked at Isabella, “Santo ofcourse.”
Knowing that Brooke probably was lying, Isabella grabbed Stella and walked to the group.
Cara was the first one to see the upset look on Isabella’s face and went to her.
“What happened?” She asked sincerely.
Before Isabella could answer Brooke and Lola greeted the group. Brooke went to Santo’s side and held him longer. He tried to pull her off of him but that only made her hold onto him longer.
Santo eventually got Brooke off of him and went to Isabella, holding her as he whispered his apologies to her. Cara saw Isabella’s face and knew they had to get out of here, thought maybe they could go for a walk outside.
“Izzy, let’s skip breakfast and go walk outside hmmm.”
Not waiting for an answer she swept her friend away and left the building. Cara and Isabella didn’t speak for a while. Isabella and Cara walked in silence, they got so far as the harbour. They were walking past the boats when Cara stopped at My Angel. Cara shook her and she laughed.
“Do you think this might be them?” Cara asked.
“My Angel, ofcourse Hugo is that cocky.” Isabella chuckled.
Isabella stretched out her hand and touched it. She didn't know much about boats but this one was really lovely.
“Well hello there.” Someone greeted.
“Hi.” Both ladies countered back.
Isabella turned around to see a man standing on the deck, looking at her. He came off the boat and stretched out his hand.
“I'm the owner of this boat you've been admiring.”
Isabella smiled then looked at him, she covered her mouth as she recognised him.
“Where is Maya?”
He stepped closer to her and Cara, Isabella Thorpe hadn’t changed one ounce and but Cara had.
“You look gorgeous as a mother to be Cara, Izzy you still look stunning.”
Someone else plopped up next to Isabella and smiled. She turned to the person and hugged her.
“Hello Isabella, miss me?”
She hit Maya hard then laughed.
“You b***h!”
Once Maya was done she hugged Cara and rubbed her belly.
“Awww I can’t wait to teach you my ways little kid.” Maya said.
“How about you don’t, hmmm.” Cara snickered.
“Aria is here too, let me go call her.” Hugo interjected.
A few minutes later Aria appeared, coming to hug Isabella and Cara. Isabella smiled at her friend.
“You look amazing, does Harry know you’re here?” Isabella questioned.
“Nope but he will soon.” Aria answered, grinning.
“Let’s go get Stella and make it a girl’s day.” Isabella suggested.
The girls left Hugo and turned around; leaving for the hotel. The ladies walked all the way back to the hotel. They laughed and joked around, once they gathered Stella, they decided to go shopping. The girls went to Metropole Shopping Monte-Carlo centre, going up and down it a few times until it became dark. Eventually they made their way back to the hotel.
Isabella messaged Santo to let him know she was back at the hotel, he caught up with her and followed Isabella to the dinner table. Isabella sighed in relief when they came to the table. It was just the boys were waiting for them.
After Isabella introduced Santo to Hugo and Maya as he already knew Aria, they started chatting and laughing. Dinner was amazing though and Isabella found that she was enjoying herself. When everyone left after dinner Santo stood up and took her hand, leading her to the balcony outside the restaurant.
“Isabella, I enjoyed that. Hanging with you was fun, I have a feeling we're almost besties now, officially.”
Isabella nudged him and laughed.
“We might be but you'll have to get in line after Armando though.”
Isabella pointed at him, smiling. Santo caught her finger and kissed it. He watched her eyes look at him intensely for a few seconds before she looked away. He liked the way she looked at him, as if he was the only person in her world.
“Don't I get brownie points for bringing Harrison and Stella today?”
“Yes but no brownie points for bringing Lola, and she in turn brought Brooke, I just know it.”
Santo grimaced at that, “I am sorry tesoro, how can I make it up to you?”
Before she could answer Sebastien appeared at their side.
“Sebastien? What the hell man?!” Santo exclaimed.
