Fake it - Jude Bellingham

Monaco boat party

Isabella's POV

After a week of reading the script, giving interviews and having drinks with the crew, I landed on hour ago in Monaco for the Grand Prix this weekend. At Max's invitation I am staying in a too fancy hotel.
I wanted to book a hotel room and asked Max for advice. When he told me about the prices I hesitated to come. The hotels really abuse the GP so Max called the owner and I got a large room for the normal price. After all, Jude has to be there.

It's not just F1 weekend, it's also my birthday weekend. I haven't told Jude or Max, although I think the latter knows. Max has been visiting us a lot since he was little.
I'm sad that I can't celebrate my birthday with my best friend this year. Sem went to Amsterdam to see her family, but on the other hand my family lands here in Monaco in a few hours, and I can't wait to see them again.

I'm lying on the couch of my hotel room scrolling through Instagram when I get a notification of a message.

Flight got cancelled
Will be arriving later
tonight

👍🏽
I'm already there

I sigh deeply when I think about introducing Jude to my parents and brothers. My mother, the biggest sweetheart in the whole world, is going to welcome him into our family with open arms.
On the other hand, my father and my brothers will first inspect it completely.
I have to laugh at the idea, check him out. Just take it, I think to myself.

Tu tu tu Max

We're having a little
drink on my boat this
afternoon.
Are you coming too?
Your brothers are already
here.

Yes nice!
Get changed and I'll be there.

I grab some clothes from my Madrid suitcase, but keep my outfit simple. Top and pants. Knowing Max and my brothers, we'll end up in the water this afternoon so just to be safe I'll put a bikini in my bag.
Monaco gives us that summer feeling in November. 22 degrees, letsgo.

When I'm done changing, I order an uber to drive me to Max's boat. Once I arrive I see that the boat is already full with a lot of people. There are two who are eager, of course they belong to me. I roll my eyes laughing and walk onto the boat through security.

When I enter the boat I am attacked by my brothers "Isa! so glad you're here." I start laughing "Finn how much have you had to drink already?"
"Enough," says Levi, my other brother. I roll my eyes laughing and give them both a hug.
"The prettiest little sister in the world has arrived!" I start laughing at Max. "Handsome friend of my brothers" I answer, smiling at him. "Fuck you guys" I hear Levi and Finn say in unison. These men are so easily excitable.
I give Max a hug "How are you bonus sister?"
I nod laughing, "I'm going to star in a new movie."
Finn, Levi and Max shout out "Omg yes that's true!"
"Champagne now" Max shouts to one of the many service men there.

"I haven't seen you in a long time," I hear a male voice say in my ear. When I turn around I look straight into the green-blue eyes of Lando Norris. I start to form a smile on my face when I feel his arms go around my waist. I put my arms around his neck and give him a hug. "Glad to see you again Isabel" he whispers in my ear.
"Yeah same" I say softly. This man is my secret love, the one I lost my virginity too.
"Haha, typical, you don't see him all day. Isabella Blue comes on board and he suddenly appears," says Max, laughing and putting an arm around Lando. I try to contain my laughter as I look into Lando's eyes.
"How are you?" he then asks softly.
"My sister has managed to get a new leading role in a new film," my brothers proudly say in unison. I nod happily to everyone as my glass of champagne is poured. "Cheers to Isa" Max starts after which everyone follows "Cheers to Isa."
