The gamble of love

Jo's POV

The week went by really fast. It is now Friday afternoon and all the kids left already. I am gathering all my stuff to finally get out of here. Taylor is picking me up. We are going to go shopping because I need a few things before I leave and then we are just going to grab some dinner.

"Hey Tay!" I yell approaching her car. "oh hey" she says looking up from her phone. We both leave for holiday tomorrow so we are super excited. We drive over to the mall and start our shopping spree. I got some shorts because I don't really own any and Carlos said that the weather there is extremely hot. Of course I needed to grab a few tank tops and also a few sun dresses. I got some sandals and sneakers. We are now at the swimwear section. I look around and Taylor shows me a bikini "Oh my gosh, Taylor. That thing will not even cover any part of my body" I say and she just laughs. I really don't know how people feel comfortable in these tiny pieces of clothes, like I can never wear that. I got to sets of descent bikini's and two full piece swim sets which I think will be enough. I grabbed a pair of flip flops and then we went to pay. There was this really cute Italian restaurant in the mall and we decided to grab dinner there and then head back to our apartment.

We arrive back at the apartment at around 7pm and we both went our separate ways because we need to pack for tomorrow. My flight leaves at 8am so it's going to be an early morning. I grabbed the biggest suitcase that I own and started packing all the new things I bought, as well as some of the things out of my closet. Finally I was done packing and then went to shower. When I finished I still needed to pack my cosmetics bag and all the things I will need. Then time for bed.

My alarm went off at 6am the next morning, I was still so tired but managed to drag myself out of bed. I picked out my outfit which was just black skinny jeans, with a Ferrari crop top that Carlos gave me and my Nike sneakers. I did a simple make up look and curled my hair and I was ready to go. I gather all my things and book an Uber as Taylor's flight is a bit later than mine. Shortly after the car arrives and I say goodbye to Taylor. She promised that she would text me everyday. It's weird spending all this time without her, we are like always together. I put all my bags in the car and we drove off to the airport. I booked my luggage in and shortly after I boarded the plane. I was feeling nervous for some reason, but more excited. I watched a movie and then fell asleep.
When I woke up it was still about half an hour before we land in Italy. I went to the bathroom to freshen up and fix my hair and makeup.

The plane finally landed and I get out and grab all my luggage, making my way out of the airport, Carlos said that they would be waiting at the entrance for me. I got a bit lost but finally made my way to the right door and there I saw Carlos standing with a huge sign with my name on it. A grin appeared on my face as I run over to him. "Carlos!!!" I yell jumping into his arms. He picks me up and spins me around. "Hey baby sis" he says as he puts me down. That's when my eyes meet Lando's and I just stare at him. He gave me a faint smile and I went to hug him not to make it obvious infront of Carlos. "Hey Jo, it's good to see you." Lando says. "Uh, yeah you too" I tell him. He looks better than I remember and his smell- NO JO! Focus! I mentally yell at myself. "How was your flight?" Carlos asked interrupting my thoughts. "It was really good thanks. Uhm aren't there supposed to be one more with you?" I ask referring to his new team mate that I am yet to meet. "Oh yeah, Charles is meeting us at the boat in a bit." Carlos says and I just nod. We gather all my things and get into the car. I am squeezed in between Lando and Carlos. I can feel Lando's eyes on me the entire time but I choose to ignore him. I really didn't think it would still affect me after all this time, but I still feel angry towards him. I know I was the one who ended things but he moved on so fast and it just really hurt me.

We arrive at the dock and they walk us over to our boat. I was in complete awe, this is absolutely stunning. "You like it?" Carlos asked and I nod smiling. "I love it!" I say excitedly. We get on and decide on which rooms we are taking. I am the only girl so I thought it would be fair to take the main bedroom which has its own bathroom. The boys can share the other bathroom. I unpack all of my things and put my suitcase away. I could honestly live here, it's so beautiful, I have the best veiw for sure!
