„Mamaaaaa, Papaaaaa can we please go outside? Its so hot today" Jules came sprinting into my room after he woke up again. By now it's 1 pm. He slept for almost 2 hours now. Charles and I just stayed in bed and cuddled. I think in that point Charles and I are both the same. We love a quiet life. We don't need to go outside, we rather stay in and watch a movie.

I looked at Charles with a critical look. I don't know if it's such a good idea to go outside with the news now.

„We can go on my yacht" Charles suggests

„Yes pleaseeeee" Jules begged

„Okay fine" I gave in.

„Then go to your room now and get ready" I continued

For October its still pretty hot in Monaco.

„Are you sure it's the right decision? I'm not sure if we should put in more to talk" I explained

„Amélie, it's okay. They can't do much when we're on the boat and if their are too many people I'll just call security. We can't  just forbid Jules to go outside" he said.

I understood him, but I just hate this situation. I don't wanna be shown as a homewrecker.

„I know, Charles, but I'm just overwhelmed with this"

„We'll be fine. It's bad at first, but it will get better. Just don't concentrate what other people think about you, it's always worse when many people know you" he took me in his arms again.

I tried to believe him, but what if it wont get any better?

I decided to give it a try and soon later we were on our way to his boat.

„Arthur decided to come too with his girlfriend. You have to meet her, she is perfect for him. Oh and she hasn't met Jules yet" Charles told me in the car.

We were taking my car as it would be too obvious with his car in the streets.

We got to the yacht and Arthur and his girlfriend were already waiting for us.

„Hey Amélie, I'm Carla. Nice to meet you" she hugged me

„It's so nice to meet you too. This is Jules, Charles and my son" I told her.

„Hi sweetie" she bent down to him

„Hello Carla" Jules giggled. She smiled and got up again

„How are you?" Arthur asks a little bit worried

„I'm fine, I think. I just have to get used to this kind of stuff I guess" I answered him.

He gave me an assuring smile.

„Okay are we ready to go?" Charles came walking over to us.

We all nodded.

„Jules, wanna play with Carla and me?" Arthur asked

„YES" he shouted.

Charles took my hand and went to the cockpit with me.

„Wanna learn how to drive a yacht?" he asked me.

„I'm not sure" I said with hesitation.

„Nothing will happen. I'm right here." he told me. I gave in and he showed me everything.

„So you're the captain now, you can try to start" he said.

I slowly started driving.

„Well done okay now you have to push this a little bit to get faster" he slowly explained. I did what he said and we soon got faster.
