He was gone for hours and I just watched the TV, bored as a rock but unable to bring myself to move. We all know the feeling.
"What the hell are you watching? Keeping up with the Kardashians?" Leo asked, sitting down next to me after finally reappearing.
I looked at him, scowled and then returned my eyes to the screen.
"I don't want to talk
October 22ndAfter a five-hour sleep, a gentle shake woke me.It was 4:30 am.The sun was yet to rise."Urghhh," I groaned. "It's too early..."
After boarding the plane, we settled down into our designated seats. Leo herded me in first where I sat and stared out the window for the whole of take-off."I should have just bought our own first-class tickets. Fuck Luca's mouldy cereal packet vacation," Leo grumbled a few hours later, attempting to stretch his legs."Are their TV screens in first class?" I asked, reading over the safety leaflet for the third time.
We spent another few more gruelling hours in our seats before we were finally landing. It was early morning in Greece and the airport was empty. After a taxi ride and boat trip, we had finally arrived on the island."This is the only house on the island. It is private and exclusive just for you," Said the Greek man as we followed him up some steps and into a beautiful mansion on an even more beautiful island.Leo looked at me with a dirty smirk that I would not entertain.
Three hours later, at around 3:30 pm, we decided to go to the mainland. Leo had easily worked out how to drive the boat and we were halfway across the pristine blue water. There was a harbour to park it and before long we were in the busy streets lined with white buildings and street food stalls. The glorious sun shone down onto my bare pale legs and arms which I had smothered me in sunscreen but I absorbed the summery warmth from it all the same."Coffee?" Leo asked as we walked by a quiet-looking cafe.
"Shit indeed," he said in an angry tone. "Where have you been?""Enjoying the freedom," I answered as he dragged me out onto the street."Not really freedom though was it? You knew I would find you eventually," he replied, his long strides forcing me to jog alongside.We attracted quite a few stares but that was the least of my worries right
October 23rdThe next morning, Leo wasn't by my side. In his place was the heavenly smell of bacon.Like a possessed zombie, I climbed out of the high squishy bed and headed straight for the food."How are you feeling Ella?" Leo asked, sensing me the second I entered the kitchen.
October 30thIt was 3 am by the time we got home from the airport and after a beautifully long sleep that went well into the afternoon, I finally dragged myself out of bed. Leo was no longer in the room and when I got downstairs, I found one of the twins downstairs."Hey, Marco or Carlos?" I asked."Marco. Carlos is on his w
'An old dress'Soon after, Marco and Carlos herded me out of the house and marched me home. Leo was waiting on the doorstep for us so the twins shoved me forward and stayed at the end of the drive looking guilty."Thank you!" he called, "You can go! But I can smell it from here so I wouldn't go home to Mom just yet!"They then scarpered, all limbs intact and without sufferi
