The chaotic 4 || Englisch Version

we're going to Monte Carlo

Ayleen

We were just in the taxi on the way to the airport, of course a little late, because packing suitcases is always such a thing in itself and you don’t know what you need because I mean you’re not in Monaco every other day and watch a Formula 1 race. The weather always changes from warm to cold in minutes if you keep an eye on the weather app for a few days, so packing a suitcase had become a big overload. As smart as we were, we hadn’t started packing before, but only last night, so we both had the salad now. We just arrived at the airport, Catarina quickly paid the driver and then we made a small sprint to the suitcase drop-off and handed over our suitcases quickly. After this was done, we ran to the check in, which we fortunately survived without a problem and none of us were pulled out. As long as Catarina Grade took her things out of the gray box, I looked at the typical screens and looked for our gate. Gate 12. Phew.. that was far we still had a good 10 minutes, i.e. we were allowed to sprint again.

When we finally sat on the plane after all the stress, we were finally able to relax. We left the standard instructions on how to behave in an emergency and then the plane finally took off. When we were in the air, I just looked out of the window - Catarina was so nice and had given me space to the window - and then looked for my Airpods in my handbag. After a long time of rummaging around, I had finally found them. I opened Spotify and started my ‚Formula 1‘ playlist. I loved this playlist, Catarina and I once created it out of boredom on a race weekend and since then it has been our favorite playlist. If I had to bet, I would have bet all my money on the fact that Catarina just heard exactly the same. I leaned my head against the window, looked briefly over to catarina and she to me, we gave ourselves our typical look and she leaned her head on my shoulder. I think that would be the shortest 2 hours of our life. When the plane started to land, we sat down straight back in our seats and just waited eagerly to finally put our feet on Monegasian ground. Half an hour later, Catarina and I stood with our suitcases in front of the big airport and looked at the sky and then at us. The smile was scratched in our faces, it was true, we had made it, we watched our first GP live and that also in Monaco. „ we made it „ Catarina then spoke to the sky with a smile on her lips. „ yes. I can hardly believe it, we are just in fucking monte carlo“ I said and looked at her, she began to smile slightly and then said out of nowhere „we’re going to monte carlo“ I understood what she was alluding to and did with „if i was a rich girl“ „na na na na“ sang Catarina and then we both fell out laughing. Oh yes, you sometimes noticed that we were on tiktok too often or too long as you take it and watched Monaco edits. We waved a taxi and got into it, after we gave the driver the address of our hotel, he drove there without talking much. The journey took around 40 minutes, as there was no airport directly in Monaco, we flew to Nice and from there by taxi to Monaco’s city center. After the 40 minutes our taxi is in front of the hotel, and wow.. It was beautiful, this time I quickly paid the driver in the time when Catarina packed the suitcases out of the trunk and then we entered the lobby of the hotel. It was all so luxuriously designed that we felt a little uncomfortable in our sweatpants, so we quickly led our way in the direction of the reception that gave us our key cards and so we went into the disappeared elevators to quickly move into our rooms. At first we actually wanted to share a room but then we had thought that we were together for the first time in Monaco and we lived completely after the moto „what happens in Monaco also stays in Monaco“ so we had decided everyone takes their own. When we heard the typical Pling which and thus showed that we had arrived on our floor, we went with quick steps towards the room. „in 20 minutes here?“ Asked Catarina before she opened her room „ jap „ I answered her and closed the door behind me.

After I closed the door of my hotel room, I really looked around and still couldn’t quite believe it. We were in fucking monte carlo. We could meet a Formula 1 driver at any moment when we step out the door, so I have to change quickly now. A look at my cell phone told me that I still had a good 15 minutes. I ran further into the room and couldn’t stop being amazed, the room was so well furnished and nice that I envied not to have such a room at home. I put my suitcase next to the large wardrobe and first turned on the formula 1 playlist of me and ayleen on my mobile phone. A step on the small balcony told me that a pair of jeans and a T-shirt with a blazer would be perfect for the weather. So I left the balcony door open and went back to my suitcase and picked out the clothes mentioned to me. 20 minutes later - 5 minutes late as always - I opened my door and ayleen was already waiting for me in front of her door, luckily our rooms were opposite. „you yourself said 20 minutes and then it’s almost 30?“ She asked me „ yes sorry.. but you know I’m po-„ I just wanted to excuse my standard when she finished it „ yes yes you are Portuguese and therefore always too late“ she imitated me. We looked at each other seriously for a moment before we burst into laughter again. These moments between us were worth gold and could be exchanged with nothing. „Let’s go,“ I said after our little laugh break and we then headed back in the direction of the elevators that took us to the lobby. This time we looked similar to the people in the lobby, so we didn’t have to feel uncomfortable with the sweatpants. When we stood at the entrance of the lobby we looked at each other and ayleen asked about it „and? What should we do now“ „hmm how about we first go up to the casino and then walk down the street at the well-known curve of Formula 1 and then walk a bit at the harbor?“ I just brainstormed a short plan and ayleen nodded to it. So our path first led us to the famous casino. The cars that stood in front of it were all so beautiful that I and ayleen couldn’t leave our eyes at all I would lie I would say that we didn’t take any pictures but our galleries almost burst in front of pictures of cars. After being at the casino for almost an hour, we slowly went down the mountain and made a stop at the well-known curve. Of course, we couldn’t miss taking a few pictures here, so the short amazement turned into another hour’s stay. But that’s why we were here to enjoy the time. So after another hour, we continued our way to the port with all the yachts. During the day it was already fantastically beautiful here, but now that the sun went down and reflected in the sea blue water, it was a fantastic sight. We also stayed at the port for about two hours until we decided to go out to eat to continue our way to the hotel.

There was a pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant, which we both enjoyed very much. After ayleen and I had ordered something, we ate our food and then slowly made our way to the hotel.

When we arrived at our hotel half an hour later, everyone in the lobby was rather party-like dressed than unlike today at noon when we arrived and all wore their business clothes. When we went in the direction of the elevator, more and more people came towards us in a party mood, so ayleen asked a girl of our age where they would go. She replied that there would be a party not far from here in a club and we should both come because almost everyone from Monaco would be there. So we took the elevator back to our floor and thought about whether we should really go there. „I don’t know ayleen, should we go there or just go to sleep?“ I asked and lay down on her bed. „That’s a good question cata,“ she answered and let herself slide onto the couch that was also in the hotel room. I mean we don’t always have the chance to go partying here and who knows maybe we’ll meet someone great, but sleeping would also be great after this exhausting day.“ „ yes, you’re right. I would say let’s just stop by more than that we go back to the hotel can’t happen either,“ ayleen then answered it and so we got ready again that day and then go partying.

But we didn’t think that this night would change everything.
