Being up and awake at 4 am never really bothered the French girl due to her profession, but it never really filled her with excitement either. This time it was different.
Carlos had called her before the sun rose, waking her from the slumber she managed to force herself into at around midnight. The Spaniard felt bad having to wake her so early, but in the end, Florentine had asked him to call her as soon as he arrived and he was going to comply to her wishes no matter what.
It took Florentine a while to wake up enough to gather her thoughts, but Carlos didn't mind it one bit, he was endeared by the little sounds and yawns that escaped her as she stumbled out of her bed and into her bathroom.
Much to her surprise, Carlos ordered a driver to take him to Florentine's place instead of driving himself so she could have a little more time to get ready. Florentine didn't complain about it though, ending the call soon after so she could shower. Thruthfully, she would have loved a little more sleep. She didn't expect him to land so early, but she was eager to see him and spend the day with him as well.
Carlos kept her updated with sweet little messages that Florentine scanned through as she got out of the shower and it made a huge grin appear on her lips to see him already planning what they could do together. He wanted to spend the day with her in London and Florentine was really looking forward to it.
The brunette never really had the time nor the energy to be out for an entire day with a real plan in mind, especially not in a bustling city like London. The girl remembered visiting London for the first time months after initially moving to the UK because she never had the energy to do so prior to that and it was just because Bradley really wanted to introduce her to some of his friends that lived there. On top of that, the pandemic took the opportunity to explore the country away from her until way later.
It's not like the Beaufort girl didn't visit Bradley, and nowadays Carmen, frequently, but that never required and entire day nor did she need a social battery for them. They were her comfort people and she quickly learned that it was okay to not dress up for them or put on her best act, they were aware of her blood sugar induced mood swings and they accepted her the way she was. With Carlos around, Florentine was still nervous, almost unsure of how to act even. Of course she wanted to impress him.
That's probably also the reason why Florentine was really starting to freak out as the time went on and she was still rummaging through her closet, trying to find something to wear. Her hair, that she left to dry by itself, was almost completely dried when she finally settled on an outfit. She cursed herself under her breath, finding it ridiculous how she just wasted so much time when her outfit would be hidden by her coat most of the time anyways, but atleast she felt 100% comfortable with her choice now.
She stared at herself in the mirror, shrugging on her coat that she rushed to get from the entrance to see the complete outfit and nodded at herself. The outfit base was simple, just how she liked it, consisting of some black jeans and a black turtleneck with some black leather chelsea boots. On top of that she wore her beloved woolen coat, it's dark brown and orange plaid contrasting against the black base of the outfit.
