The gamble of love

Jo's POV

The rest of the day was really fun, we went snorkelling in the ocean, Carlos and Charles dived which I was too afraid to do. I was laying on the deck cathing sun in my bikini.
"The veiw is so beautiful." I hear Lando's voice and I look at him seeing him smirk at me and I just roll my eyes. "Easy Lan" I warn him while he holds his hands up in defence and we both laugh. "I just wanted to tell you that I apologised to Charles." He said. "Oh, uh thank you" I say awkwardly. Carlos and Charles returned and it was now about 4pm. We all decided to get cleaned up before we have dinner.
I took a quick shower washing all the salt water off my body and hair and then got dressed. I didn't do any make up and just let my hair air dry. The boys were still busy getting ready as they share a bathroom, it takes them much longer.
I went out to the deck and grabbed a smoke and decided to video call Taylor. I miss her. She almost instantly answered. "Hey babe!!" She yells through the phone. I laugh, "Hey Tay, I miss youuuu!!" I say making a pouty face. "Uhggg I miss you more!" She says very dramatically. "So what's new?" She asked.
"Alot of drama went down, you wouldn't believe me when I tell you." I say. "I want all the tea babe, tell me everything!!" She yells totally invested. I tell her everything about Lando as she is the only person that knows what happened between us. I also tell her about Charles saying that I think I might have a crush on him. "Oh my gosh! That's hectic babe." She says and we continue talking.
I hear footsteps approaching, it's Charles and I instantly get butterflies at the sight of him. "Oh hey Charles." I say. "Hey love" he replied making me blush. Taylor cleared her throat on the phone as I was starring a bit too long. "Aren't you going to introduce me?" She asked. I laugh and turn the phone towards Charles who is now sitting opposite me. "Charles, this is my best friend Taylor. Tay, Charles." I say and he waves into the phone. "Oh shit." I hear Taylor whispered under her breath, she now understands why I keep saying he is beautiful. My eyes widen and I yank the phone away, giving her a glare and she just winks at me. We then say goodbye and hang up.
"Your friend seems nice." Charles says smiling sweetly at me. "Yeah, she is the best." I say admiring his look, his hair wet and messy, he doesn't have a shirt on. I get lost in my thoughts and he cleared his throat making me snap back to reality, I look up at him and see him smirking at me. I blush.
"You still owe me an explanation about Lando." He says. "I can't tell you here." I say looking down. "Come to my room tonight, when everyone is sleeping?" I ask him and he agrees. Soon after Lando and Carlos joins us and we all talked, then dinner arrived and I was starving, digging right into the plate of food.

Carlos' POV

We all laugh at Jo who is eating very fast, she just rolls her eyes at us and continues. We all began eating and I see Charles keep looking at Jo, she looks back at him smiling from ear to ear. I instantly get irretated by the situation and decide that I am going to talk to her later. I look over at Lando who is looking at them, with an a jealous facial expression. What's going on here? I ask myself getting quiet. We finish dinner. "You alright?" I hear Jo ask me, I look at her and just nod my head, her raising an eyebrow at me. "Do you guys mind if I talk to Jo privately for a minute?" I ask Lando and Charles. They both agree and get up from their seats walking away from us. I see Jo lighting a smoke, "what's up?" She asked me.
"Is there something going on between you and Charles?" I ask her directly not wasting any time. I see her eyes widen. "W-what? Of course not." She says stuttering. "You don't sound to sure." I tell her. "Carlos, there is nothing going on." She says looking down.
"If you say so, you know I am just trying to protect you." I tell her and she nods. "I know, we are just getting to know each other, that's all." She says and I choose to believe her. I get up and walk over to her side giving her a hug. She hugs me back. "I love you" I tell her. "I love you too" she says.
"I invited my girlfriend and she is also bringing a friend, so you won't be the only girl anymore. They will be joining us tomorrow." I tell her and see her face light up. "Oh my gosh, thank you!" She yells. I laugh, I can see that it is awkward for her to be around just guys so I thought I would make a plan to help her relax a bit more.
We head back inside to join the others, I also told them of the other girls joining us and they said it is fine.
For the rest of the night we played some board games and then headed to our rooms.
