"Hey Elle, we need to hurry up. Tito Jose will be back today so let's not waste time"
I grab my bag quickly and adjusted the hem of my skirt.
Today is the second day after the biggest drama of my life. I had no contact with Pierre since then. Yesterday, I spent my time with Cian.
He went over to the mansion and we talked about many things. Our plans and mostly how he could help me in JPollo Hotel.
He wanted to ask something else since the day we met at Montogomery University but because Cian was so understanding, he let it slide and never bothered about it until he came home. I was so guilty.
Cian tried his best to make me feel comfortable and assured me that everything was okay, while I was not doing my part as a good girlfriend to him.
Once again, Dad's important meeting went too long that he extended his stay. He called me yesterday that he can't make it home and said he will be back tomorrow afternoon.
The worst thing is he will be sending Pierre to look after me which I refuting declined and asked for Uncle Jonas instead.
That is why it was a good thing that Dad agreed and called up Uncle Jose and Aunt Ana to be here in the mansion while he is away. It was also a good thing that I was able to convince Dad, not to trouble Pierre.
I don't know what Pierre had been giving to Dad for him to trust him that much. Pierre Monteblanco was high and mighty to mingle with us. Even though we are also known in terms of social rank, we can never compare ourselves to the likes of Monteblanco.
"I will use my Evoque Range Rover since it is a miracle that Sam only brought a small bag," Belle commented as we walked our way to where Belle's driver parked her car.
The five fruits of Pollo, mainly me, Belle, Flora, Violet, and Sam are complete.
I was already preparing to sleep when they all entered my room with explicit clothing. And the shock was again an understatement. They were planning for some night out.
I don't usually go with them into nightclubs because I prefer memorizing tactics in business, sleeping early, or spending my time with Cian.
But these past few days, all I wanted was to drink and forget all my problems which is mainly the reason why I agreed to join them.
Belle snatched my arm to adjust my pace to hers.
" You are so slow Elle", she commented. We were walking on tiptoe because it was already 9 in the evening and Aunt Ana is having her beauty rest already.
"Sorry I can't get used to this kind of clothes" I answered as I tried to keep up with Belle's long strides while adjusting the hem of my dress at the same time.
The dress that Sam picked for me to wear had me sweat real hard. It was a fitted nude brown halter dress, about three inches above the knee length. It has a big slit with chains on it to hold the slit together but still, the slit goes way up to the hips. Moreover, it is a backless dress showing almost a side of my breast.
If I take off this fluffy cardigan, everyone would see how revealing the dress is and how short it is.
"It is a must, Elle, we need to be eye-catching. All the women in Fogo dress up dramatically, but they can never beat us" Belle explained proudly.
Indeed, she looked sexy in her red bodycon tube that emphasizes his luscious boobs. The dress hugs her body and accentuated her important assets. The dress is not overdramatic, it only helps Belle get recognized even in dim light.
"Don't pressure Elle, Zoebel, it's her first time to come with us. She doesn't know the rules yet" Samantha said in a chuckle.
She was wearing the most provocative one among all of us. Her perfectly maintained vital statistics were prominent with her gold satin strap dress. It has a low cut on the front which emphasized her cleavage and toned collarbones. It has a slit on the edge just like mine but hers were more revealing since it doesn't have any chains to hold it together. She wasn't even wearing any undergarments and that's how bold she is.
She was obviously flaunting all her assets for everyone to see, making any women envy and men drool at her. Sam would not be a supermodel for anything.
Well, I'm used to it. We are all used to it. It would be a shock for all of us if Sam is having a demure dress for tonight.
"But we have to be back before 5 in the morning okay. I asked Helena to open the back door for us. By then, the elderly will not know we sneaked out."
Violet giggled which made me raise a brow.
"If I was not looking at you while saying it Elle, I would not believe you are indeed our cousin." she suddenly said while slowly opening the gates from the mansion. We don't want to produce any noise as much as possible or we would all be grounded.
Sam laughed silently, the wind blowing her dress as she moves.
"Hmm, who would have thought the innocent Princess Elle had some dirty tricks with her too" she teased.
I just rolled my eyes as I get their point. These girls are so childish.
"Shut up guys, we are all here to have fun. Don't tease Elle. Let's just go and party" Flora said, cutting us off.
Belle rolled her eyes at her sister. Let us just say Flora is brokenhearted tonight and she needed this just as I do.
Nevertheless, she still looked elegant and classy with her silk-off shoulder dress but she looks wasted too.
Her long-time boyfriend got another woman pregnant. To make the situation worse, it was her trusted secretary. Florence was so angry at them that she wanted to get even. Well, revenge to me is a long process and an effortful one.
"Don't get too ahead of yourself Florence, we are not gonna sleep at the Island" Belle grumbled.
"Wait, Island???" I asked, confused. Just what the Hell is Belle talking about?
They all went inside the Green Evoque Range Rover parked a few kilometers away from our mansion, while I stand on the side road waiting for any one of them to answer.
"Are you okay Justine Elle? Of course, to Fogo Island. That is where we are going" Sam answered.
"An island? but I highly thought it would just be a pub or some nightclub?!" I exclaimed, making Flor roll her eyeballs.
"Oh sorry, did we forget to tell you that Flor over here wanted to have some fun with men, delicious men so... " Violet started, while I shake my head continuously.
"Oh no, could we make it before time? You know Dad, he wouldn't like this" I complained worriedly.
Belle went out of the driver's seat but before she could turn up to me Sam had already spoken up.
"Of course, we have our Attorney Belle over here" Sam answered confidently.
I trusted my cousins. Most of their hang-outs have quite good results but sometimes if it's the opposite, it turns to be the very worst.
And I don't need another worst thing to happen.
"Besides, let's push this first time of yours. We will be back early in the morning... good as new" Sam encouraged.
I rolled my eyes at Samantha's annoying voice. That's not what I wanted to hear.
"Come on now Tine, you are taking so long" It was Violet, who was excited in the back seat.
I puffed a sigh and saw Belle mouthed to me "it's your choice".
I don't want to be a killjoy and besides, I needed this too.
I quickly opened the door and sat next to Sam who was smiling at me.
"Good choice cous," She said and then asked Belle to drive us to the airport.
"I can't believe we could finally bring you with us, Elle," Violet said in the corner.
"Me too, I hope to enjoy this with you guys and be back on time". I emphasized and they laughed together enjoying the look on my face.
Not long enough, we arrived at the airport and used Aunt Ana's private plane to get us to Fogo Island.
"Okay, for starters the place we are staying in is under Dad's name but don't worry, it's a property owned by the Monteblanco's so it is of high security plus... a possibility of meeting them is probable, I hope so," Violet said in a squeak. Flor rolled her eyes boringly.
"You should not dream about it too much Vi, that Brandon guy would just leave you crying" Flor protested but Violet just grin at her.
"Hhmm, I don't know why you hate the Monteblanco's Flor but in my opinion, those Grecian Gods should be your standard, not some nerd you wouldn't be meeting anymore," Sam said a matter of fact, shutting Flor's bitterness.
" Okay, enough girls, let us not forget we are here to bond. And of course, to enjoy Tine's post-birthday and give my little sister some air." Belle interrupted.
We settled and picked our seats on the plane. It was just a thirty-minute ride and we arrived at the famous Fogo Island they were all talking about a while ago on the plane ride.
The place intrigued me and had me curious. Looking at the island from above, there was nothing special. Not until we finally reached the place. Indeed, FOGO was a place for fun and more.
Upon arriving at their mini landing strip, you could hear from afar the loud disco music.
"Welcome to Fogo Island, which hotel did you, book ladies?" A tall man in a tux approached us. He was smiling from ear to ear and admiration was evident in his eyes.
"We are guests of Brio Hotel handsome, and we are listed to attend tonight's Fogo fest" Belle answered flirtatiously.
The man stares at Belle, dumb-struck. He cleared his throat and flashes his perfect smile again.
"Then let's not keep you waiting," he said and guided us to the two parked Cullinan, a Rolls Royce SUV.
"Marvelous" Sam whispered and entered the car with class.
Not so long, we are more awestruck as we reached the luxurious Brio Hotel they were talking about. It has a big classy bar situated on the top floor of the building, evident because of the colorful lights that catch everyone's attention.
The ambiance was uncomfortably elegant and expensive. The bouncers were wearing a tux and were strict with the protocols, they inspected our IDs and even our bags for any illegal kinds of stuff.
One thing about this island is that all men were handsome and well built. No one was ugly. No matter where you look, you would still see a bunch of hunk men with great physiques.
Is this why Flor wanted to be in here?
"Don't be deceived Elle, some of them are not what you think they are" Violet said giggling. She must have noticed me eyeing everyone.
The handsome call boy leads us to the vast hallway going to the elevator. The hotel light was dim yet the astonishing details were not hard to recognize.
There was a mix of Mexican and Spanish architecture in making the whole building giving the hotel a classic yet homey vibes. However, the interior design used, made it all stylish but it still maintained the elegance of the whole place. Classic. This is what it is.
I could not help but look around and be astounded. This place takes me back to the Baroque period but upgraded.
It is way different than JPollo Hotel. This one is a whole another level, to even think that this hotel is only situated on a mini island.
What more in bigger cities?
I can't help but admire Monteblanco Empire. It was never a question of why just hearing their family name is a big issue.
"Hey Elle hurry up, we have to go to Fogo center. You'd enjoy it there"
Violet and the other girls were already waiting inside the elevator. I didn't think I was too consumed at the place that I haven't noticed them went ahead of me.
I speed off to the elevator and not long we reached our room.
We just freshened up and fixed our clothes, if it would be considered as one. Then just like that, we headed to the infamous Fogo Center.
The place where fun is always on the go.
