Apart

Daisy

Leo, Rufus, and Enzo were sitting on one side and Sally, Grace, and Monique on the other I was feeling like a bridge between them I am sure even Paul was feeling the same way also it was not only the feeling but we were actually sitting in between, this group was talking in themselves if this will go on then our vacation will be dived into two groups and that would not be good for us; Paul and I would be divided into doing different activities. As I was observing the group I couldn't help but notice Leo took every chance he got to take a sneak peek at Monique, ultimately I broke the tension by saying "Monique do you know who was the one who bought all your paintings?" I know now who the owner is but I did not get a chance to tell her now that I have taken the attention why not spill it "Not yet" I looked at Leo and he was looking sideways I know I was loud enough for everyone to hear me "It is this man right here" I pointed at Leo "Oh..." I was expecting a bigger reaction but okay "Yes, I found your painting quite interesting. I hope you are fine by that the fact that I was the one who bought your collection" Leo finally spoke "Oh I didn't know you were an art fan" Enzo interrupted in the middle but I am happy now that everyone is making conversation with one another "I am not but I couldn't resist such a beautiful collection by this lovely lady right here" I looked at Monique and her natural blush was visible "Thank you so much" she said also "Why did you put all the painting in your building, I used to think that all the rich folks buy it to sell it to the museum" she asked "Like I said I don't know much about art but I am taken away when I saw you..r pieces and in the museum it would definitely get some attention but you know the thieves are all over and my building the safest place in the world", "I like to protect what's mine" I definitely did not expect that explanation from him I suppose he does have a soft spot in his heart. "I would love to know which piece you like the most" Monique scooted over to Leo and they both started chatting up their own. "So, tell me about this grump in the office," Enzo asked Sally out of the blue "He really is a grump, don't get me started on the deadlines he gives to people working under him" That part is true he really is a pain in the ass when it comes to certain things but if I were in his place I would have done the same thing "Does he give you a hard time?" Enzo asked me this time "No, not really" It is weirdly awkward to talk about someone who is right at your table but that person is boss it is worse, why did they have to ask about work? why can't they talk about literally anything else, I left the conversation when Grace asked things about Enzo Rufus. I moved closer to Paul holding his hand and smiling "I know what you were trying to do and you succeeded" he said, he was quiet but he knew my intention and worked in our favor us.

Luckily our flight didn't take long and after a comfortable ride to Costa Rica, I said "It is beautiful", "We are still at the airport" Paul interrupted my moment "I know" I said cheekily and took my luggage and went ahead with the girls. "You are coming with us right?" Monique asked me I want to spend every second I am here with Paul but I guess I can make an exception when I know the guy is going to ask him the same thing "Yeah" I turned back to take a look at Paul and I stand correct I understood the way he gave a sad smirk to me but no worries we have the whole weekend to ourselves plus I get it we have just met about a few hours ago that is totally understandable that girls want to ride separately, hopefully over the weekend everyone will be jelly with everyone here. Our car was here and all three of them were putting in the luggage by themselves but when it came to my turn my gentleman came from behind and did the honors "Alright ladies you are all set to go" he said and pulled my cheeks "No..." I screamed, it might look sweet from the outside but the person whose cheeks are getting pulled knows the feeling I am talking about, I got in and our driver took off I didn't get the chance to see if the boys were set or not but eventually we are going to meet them so I did not think much over it. 

We arrived at our villa technically Leo's villa but it is wonderfully extravagance, the location itself was near the beautiful ocean view and the extraordinary thing about this place is not only he has his private boat there but a helipad with a helicopter too "How wealthy is this guy" Grace commented when we were exploring the place but I would ask the same question if I had the chance whatever he is doing or whatever business he does, he is doing something right. To own a place with such luxury I wonder where he lives now is as wonderful as this place, the front door is massive itself, and don't even get me started about the gate and his front lawn "I really like the varieties of flowers he has here" Monique joined us and I agree with her the front lawn is filled with different types of flowers in a row and he has an artificial waterfall in the middle of the living room "I just hope the rooms here are as good as we have seen the house till yet" Sally said dryly, I don't think she is impressed by this she probably has seen much more gigantic things in life. "There you all are" Enzo came in between our conversation, the guys came after us but till then we were just sitting by the pool and our luggage in the hall, we did not go in the bedrooms yet I suggested all wait; obviously everyone here would want the biggest room but we should not forget it is Leo's place he should be the one assigning rooms to us, it would be rude if just barge in someplace he doesn't want anyone to be in and all of us agreed on that.
