I walked towards the exit and grabbed a pre-made suitcase, which had outfits, files and a laptop. I was handed a handbag that contained simple things like water, money, spare clothes and of course chewing gum. Baddie was handed similar things. As we headed out of the exit to London's busiest road (Albert Embankment), we saw Wheels and Bull with briefcases and a limo pulled up in front of them. They laughed and waved at us as the famous black taxi pulled up on front of us.
"Ugh, why do they get fancy smancy car and suits?"
"Ha I know right. I wear a suit and they wear t-shirt and jeans!"
"I mean I just wear dresses so yeah."
We entered the taxi and we both sat by the windows to make sure no one was following us or acting suspicious. No one was to be seen.
"Ummm, Heathrow airport please!"
I said to the driver. The driver nodded and started the car. We were hoping to get to the airport on time but London was always busy. We were ten minutes late but we left 2 hours early anyway. When we arrived at the airport, my phone buzzed. It was a message from Wheels:
Hey, we're at Gatwick. Don't mess around at duty-free, tell Baddie. Anyway, it's going to be our first time in Italy. On the coast of Turin. Enjoy! XX
Baddie looked over my shoulder and giggled.
"What?"
"Soooo, are you guys a thing?"
"What! No! He is gay!"
I walked off with my suitcase, and sighed, I went straight to customs. Baddie followed behind and of course as I went through, I forgot to take my necklace off. Beep beep. I turned around and panicked.
"Shit! Sorry I forgot the necklace. Here."
I passed it to the woman who sighed and put it in my tray. As I walked with my tray that was in the conveyer belt, I heard my phone ping. It was from Wheels:
Hello?
I stared at the phone and started typing:
Sorry and thanks.
I walked to the end of the conveyer belt, picked up my handbag and suitcase. Baddie came about two minutes after and started apologizing,
"I'm sorry to assume, but I just think that it's boring because there is no drama and I tend to be imaginati-"
I cut her off,
"It's fine, it's not like he texted me like a normal person. So don't stress about it."
We walked silently to our gate. There was a vending machine right at the gate, three other people, and the airport staff opened the doors to let us go through. We walked to the plane and put our luggage on the overhead locker. Our suitcases were light enough to be counted as hand luggage. We were next to eachother but a man sat next to me as I was in the middle and Baddie was by be window. The aeroplane set off and for two hours we sat with earphones in and occasionally went to the toilet. An announcement was made right before we landed:
Please sit down and prepare for landing, we will arrive in Italy, Turin in seven minute. Thank you. Per favore, siediti e preparati all'atterraggio, arriveremo in Italia, a Torino tra sette minuti. Grazie.
Everyone sat down and put their technology away. The plane landed and we all walked out of the plane. We were all greeted with smiles of tired, Italian airport staff. Me and Baddie looked at eachother and smiled, we were so close to fulfilling the thing that ate at me every second of the day.
"Ciao"
This word was heard miles and miles through the airport. We went to the entrance and exit of the airport just to find our business class partners Wheels and Bull.
"How was your flight?"
I asked both of them, they were looking for our contact. Our contact was someone we sent to Italy years and years ago. We have one in each country, town and city. He was suppose to have two kids and a wife. They were dressed in fancy clothing because of a restaurant we were going to.
"Hellloooo? I asked you guys a question!"
"Sorry, it was good thanks"
"Is this because of the text? I told him we were getting on the plane, I had to be quick."
"Leave him captain, he likes to sulk."
Bull and Baddie were the only ones to call me captain. Me and Wheels had been close ever since we trained together, so we called eachother by our nicknames. We headed to the family who had a huge car, like the eight seater taxi in England. I looked at the woman and said the code.
"Hi, we're from England."
She responded with a sigh.
"Do you like peanut butter?"
"Yes but I am allergic."
We all put our luggage in and drove far away from the airport. We went pass a small market, which had fruit, fish, meat and clothing. There was a beach by the coast, we were staying in a small villa by the sea. It looked beautiful I thought. Every house was unique in colour and layout, including ours. It was a pale yellow and had two windows on the front, including a small balcony. There was a decent size driveway, There was a hot tub in the back. As well as a barbeque and seating. It was two bedroom house and had one medium size kitchen, and one large living space. The bedrooms were both en suites and master bedrooms. Me and Baddie shared a room, while Wheels and Bull shared a room.
"Oh I can't wait to go to the restaurant today!"
"You do realise Baddie that it's owned by Marco? And we are going there so you can try and get invited to his grand ball. Yes a ball Baddie, he invites business men and women everywhere. We want you to seduce him and try and get us all invited. Okay?"
"Yes! A ball! Wait I have to seduce that idiot?"
"Yes, sorry but everyone knows i'm terrible at it and I would probably kill him."
"Fine! But I get this bed and i'm the first one in the hot tub."
"Deal."
We set all our stuff on our beds, then we put our clothes in the cupboards and toiletries in the luxurious bathroom. Every inch of the house looked like something out of a movie. We all sat in the rustic kitchen and relaxed for the two minutes of freedom that we had. We had finally reached the second part of he plan, To Italy~ Stage 2. Completed.
