Della Lechâteau and her friends take off to Monaco for a grad trip to remember forever. The weather is warmer and the real world is nothing but a distant thought in the beautiful destination that attracts the wealthiest people in the world. Adventur...
The next afternoon the three of us get changed into our swimsuits. I pull one of my brother's old t-shirts over my head and hop into some denim shorts before grabbing my bag full of necessities for the beach. When I walk out into the living room my friends look my way with smiles, "did you see him today?" I laugh but shake my head, "no, and I remembered my wallet this time" I reply to their eager question. The two brunettes frown making me roll my eyes, "whatever guys, the beach is waiting for us and I can't wait to lay on the sand" they smile again and gather their stuff including some towels. I lead the way out of the apartment, locking the door when we're all on the landing, "maybe we'll meet some guys on the beach" I snort but let them pull me down the stairs our sandals slapping against the steps.
We step on Larvotto Beach and I sigh before taking a deep breath while smiling. "I see a spot!" Wren yells before taking my hand to pull me across the sand, I'm giggling as she does holding my bag close so that I don't lose it on the way. She stops and immediately places her towel down, I watch her pull off her cover up before lying down. "Wow so quick" I mumble as I take off my t-shirt and shorts at a much slower pace, "can't waste time" Wren tells me with a smile. I put down my towel and move to lay next to her with a sigh of relief. Émilie does the same seconds later sliding her sunglasses over her eyes, "this is perfect" I hum in agreement enjoying the feeling of the sun on my skin.
After a few seconds of silence I let out a sigh. "What was that sound?" Émie asks, I lift my sunglasses peering over at her, "nothing" I reply innocently. I hear her sit up before she pokes my side, I squeal, "that was not a nothing sigh" I groan and sit up as well, Wren also sits up. My fingers play with the string of my bikini bottoms, "I thought about him last night" I tell them, "what!" Wren exclaims with wide eyes, "it's literally nothing, but his damn eyes were gorgeous" Émie groans, "I can't believe we missed this guy" I bite my lip giving her a shrug. "I honestly hope that you see him again because that look on your face tells us that he affected you that one time" I blush looking away from the two brunettes, "don't encourage the hopeless romantic in me" I whine flopping onto my back again. "We love you Del, and we want you to be happy with someone who is better than that horrible ex of yours" I peer over at my friends who are smiling at me, "I love you too guys, I just don't want to get my hopes up" they nod and lay back down as well. The three of us fall into a silence, the sound of beach goers surrounding us.

"I feel like we were at a spa" I say when we walk back into our apartment after being at the beach for awhile. "Ohhh I brought nail polish let's complete the experience" Wren exclaims happily, "yes definitely" Émie replies as we go to our rooms to change before setting up for manicures. I put on some sweat shorts and a hoodie quickly running a brush through my hair before going back into the small living room to wait for my two friends. I busy myself with a sketchpad that I brought from my room, doodling as I wait to paint my nails. "Your doodles are one hundred times better than anything I could draw," I look up to see Émie watching me with a smile, "I'd say that's okay because it's what I got a degree in" I reply with a shrug before putting down the pad, she nods and flops next to me on the couch. "What colour are you thinking?" she asks me while looking down at her own nails, "i'm not sure yet, plus I don't know which ones Wren brought" the both of us look over when we hear the clinking of nail polish bottles to see our friend smiling as she walks into the room. "Lets do this babes" she exclaims making us laugh.
Later the only sound is coming from my phone, where I put on some music while we paint our nails. My brows are furrowed in concentration as I try not to get the bright red polish on the skin around my nails. "Del you look like you're in full art student mode" I look up, "I don't want to mess up because cleaning this is such a pain" I explain before looking back down to finish my nails. Hands come to my shoulders making me jump and swipe some polish on my skin, I groan looking at Émie, "I hate you" she winks at me while I put the brush back into the bottle so that I can clean the mistake. Once i've cleaned up the red polish I am finally able to swipe on the last coat and a top coat, proceeding to wave my hands around to quicken the drying process. Eventually we are all doing that, it sets off a fit of giggles amongst us drowning out the music for a few minutes. "God who needs boys when we have each other" I say when I sit back down on the couch, "you said it Del" Wren adds with a grin, Émie nods and we sit there just talking about the next few days we have planned.
