Twists and Turns in Monte Carlo: A Formula 1 Affair

{11.2}

"Sit down, it's mandatory girls' night," Joanne ordered with a calm yet stern tone. Daisy nearly got court flashbacks, smiling hugely over her drink.

The four girls, dressed in comfy sweats and shirts, were hanging out together in the living room of the flat. Lina, Daisy, and Mel were lying on the big red sofa, while Joanne stood in front of them with her hands on her hips.

"We haven't seen each other for far too long and I've really missed you," the tall blonde began, "and I'm in Italy this weekend, so I'm forcing you to spend time with me now."

Lina grinned. "Your energy is glowing, honey, you look good." The artist had been rocking a buzzcut for a few days now, which Mel had decorated with glitter. "You've put on weight, haven't you? Finally, we've been worried about you. That ass suits you." She got a side blow from Daisy for this, but her friends appreciated her for her honesty.

"Yes, the food in the south of France was just too good," Joanne mumbled and flopped down on the sofa with the girls. "A man that can cook, a nice accessory to have."

Mel raised an eyebrow. "I would have said you look so good because you have breathtaking sex, but you don't tell us about it," she mumbled to the group, this time taking a side blow from Lina."What?" she pulled her arms up, "I haven't been laid well for a long time, I've been thinking about calling NFL man again."

"The one with the weird ears?" Daisy immediately jumped on the bandwagon, "or the one with the slightly too small hands who could do that weird thing in bed?"

Mel just nodded; it was immediately clear: the second one was meant.

Daisy cleared her throat. "August and I are going to visit his parents in Denmark in a month and I am shitting my pants," the pretty brunette with round cheeks blushed as the words just blurted out of her.

"That's wonderful," Joanne squeezed Daisy's hand tightly.

"Yes, but I've never met the parents. It's all suddenly becoming so serious and so quickly.""You've met my parents," Mel added with a grin, "that's a good catch, isn't it?"

Daisy rolled her eyes and Joanne and Lina laughed. Everything was suddenly back to normal with the four friends.

"We're growing up. And we're really growing up now, my dears." Lina's words hung in the air. She pointed to Daisy first, "You're in a committed relationship that's becoming real. Mel, you're travelling the world with your modeling jobs, you have campaigns after campaigns and your face is everywhere. Kenny, no matter what you do you're simply stunning and now you're happy with a man by your side too. To be honest, you were the last person I would have thought capable of that, no front. And I," she grinned from ear to ear, "have been offered a job at NYU teaching art classes."

Joanne's eyes widened with excitement. "NYU, Lina? That's incredible!" she exclaimed, her excitement evident.

Lina beamed. "Yeah, it's a dream come true. I still can't believe it."
