sabella fought hard to talk herself out of staying back and forget everything about the travelling but her brother's constant assurance that he will be fine kept her at ease. All done, she heard speak from the door.
Ah, yes she had packed simple. Picking only the most important things to her. because she doesn't want to look like an affluent lady, she bought all her travelling gits including clothes at a local shop in the bay.
Her brother gave her a look over, she wore black denim, a grey t-shirt and a jacket. She put a mini camera around her neck, she had gone for a backpack instead of a box for her clothing. Her boots make her look like some model in a cowboy magazine.
Now you look like the tourists you find unamusing. Don't tease me, Henry. It feels like I am going undercover. She wore the trinkets her brother got her from an art and craft store. The little charms on it make the little star tattoo on her wrist more radiant.
Did you get a new tat Bella, her brother asked. Just one on my shoulder, she showed the world writing on her shoulder viaggiatore. Traveller in Italy, I didn't waste money sending you to learn languages that will be helpful to you. Don't mar your body again it breaks my heart seeing your beautiful body covered in ink and what's worse it's painful.
She hugged him from behind. I am fine, and this is the last one I promise, I have inked the places I had fantasies about so no more tats on this body. She had a drawing of a guitar behind her neck, a star her writ and now another on her shoulder.
He turned and gave her a warm hug, I will miss you, little Belle. You need to take care of yourself. Have fun, make friends and please smile often it breaks my heart no one sees that beautiful dimple of yours often.
I do smile a lot. Yeah, you do for your clients and me and then to your flings flirtatiously. I meant genuine laughter, Belle. I haven't seen that radiant smile in ten years. Since father's death, he thought.
I will be fine she murmured. I hope when I get back I will be hearing wedding bells of you and Mila else my leaving will be in vain. I will send you pictures and a gist of how everything goes. He picked up her bag and headed for the door. Is this all you are packing he asked.
Yes, all that bag is pretty big. You are the only lady I know who has so little to pack for a two-month trip he said mockingly. I am sure Mila has lots of luggage for you to worry about. Don't let her hear that or I will be dumped before the thing even have a chance to start. She laughed at his horror-stricken face and strolled beside him.
Calix held Alex in what is called a locking embrace. Are you sure you will be fine he asked for the umpteen times. I will be fine Cal, it's just two months. Amy said it will be good for my project. Are you sure, that girl looks too skittish to have offered you that kind of advice?
That's because you scare and twist her words to your liking. Don't frighten her when I leave it's not nice. If you like her so much why allow another man to take your place, I could swear she had a crush on you.
That was a long time ago, and my likeness for her is purely friendly so stop assuming things. Man you need to up your game, staying behind the scenes has made a rigid man out of you. Alex stared at his brother bewildered. In all his life Cal had chased every lady interested in him away with his petty remarks and now the same person is advising him on how to get one.
The irony though Alex shook his head, when did your rigid mind decide to make progress on exploring that part? A long time ago since sweet Stacy. A feisty one if you ask me. The bar attendant Stacy, Alex confirmed. Yes, brother. You had a new tat, Lex. Yes, I did Alex said rubbing the word on his arm. Figured I could add to my collections. Calix studied the word on his arm Traveller in Italy. Nice one, I will have one written for me. I wouldn't have my little brother walk the lonely road of having a skin art alone.
You don't have to do that, Alex objected. I want to, perhaps Karren finds the tats sexy he grinned. I won't write the word you had on I find it too squeamish to be on my skin. He said picking up his bag. I will be sending you off to the airport to have your little assistant stay with her fiance, I heard they got engaged.
Nothing gets past Cal he thought, seeing him already at his door had already sent the message loud and clear. I paged her already so she won't be coming. I thought Sophia will be coming in today, Calix said. We will be meeting at the airport, why are you asking about her I thought you find her boring.
She is amusing, Calix said in thoughts. Alex was appalled by his brother's remark. Cal complimenting anyone in that manner is rare. Do you like her Cal? I find her interesting that's all. You can send her back to her apartment later, she won't be coming with her car because Amielia will be dropping me off with mine. You can offer her a hand.
Hurry up then, we don't want to keep the girl waiting, Calix hurried off to the door leaving the grinning Alex by the door.
