23.

We entered the booth on the beach, everyone was here waiting and they left three chairs empty for us. We sat down after a few hellos, me between both Enzo's.

"So late." Maya remarked and I rolled my eyes, watching her drink her white wine.

"We're 10 minutes late." I told her, I had to do my makeup and after that intense workout, it took a bit of time.

"Can I get a JD and coke please." Flavio told the waiter quickly as he put his arm on the back of my chair.

"Make that two." Lorenzo told the waiter, I want whiskey too.

"Three, please." I changed it again and Alec sighed loudly.

"Anyone else?" Such a drama queen.

"Drink your rosé, bitch." I waved him off and he scoffed in offence.

Laughs scattered the table and I observed that he's the only one drinking rosé.

"Alec, why are you the only one drinking that?" I asked him, leaning forward, both elbows rested on the table as my hands clasped together underneath my chin.

"I blame Isa." He retorted and Isa scoffed.

The girl is literally drinking whiskey.

"Guys, you won't believe this," We all now listened to Cesar. "I went to Alec's apartment one day, I get there and knock on the door and Isa answers," He's talking with his hands, a smile on his face as if it was the funniest thing ever. "I ask her where Alec is and the next thing I see, peaking over the couch, is Alec in a pink bunny headband, a face mask on, a pink bathrobe with fluffy slides on, drinking rosé and watching gossip girl." My mouth just kept dropping wide open as Cesar carried on.

I only peaked over at Alec but I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He was so red.

"Alec?" I couldn't help my laughter. The only reason I'm laughing is because he has always been so against this stuff.

"Shut up, you don't laugh when Don does this." Alec's moody self sassed.

"Because he owns that shit proudly," I told him as I wiped my eye with tissue. "Don and me used to kick back on Friday nights, face masks and everything watching gossip girl." I told Alec. "Sometimes Dominic used to join too." I told him and Alec peaked over at Dominic who hummed in response.

"It was the best time." He told us all and I nodded.

"That's why your skin used to be glowing last year." Lorenzo told him and Dominic scoffed.

"Excuse you," He rolled his eyes. "It still glows." Wow.

"Speaking of glow," Maya looked between us. "Why are you glowing?" Who is she speaking to?

"Maya, baby, have you suffered from some eye injury? Where are you looking?" I asked her and she just narrowed her eyes.

"I meant you all." Weird. "Especially him." She pointed at Flavio who was too busy peering over looking at something else.

"Vio?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Huh?" He looked down at me, his face slightly close as he admired my eyes then looking down at my lips and back at my eyes.

"Maya." I told him and he quickly switched his focus to her.

"Yes, darling?" He asked her and she kept looking at him narrow eyed.

"Why are you glowing today?" We know why.

Flavio just smirked, his moving away from the back of my chair to my thigh so discreetly, so no one could see under the table.
