When Isabella has a chance to play the leading role in a new major film and Laliga's top player Jude Bellingham has to work on his reputation, the two are linked together as a PR stunt. A small problem, they can't get along with each other at all.
We land in London for the Vogue Shoot tomorrow. On the plane, Jude and I went through some questions Karen sent by email, questions we can probably expect in the interview that will also be held for the magazine.
When we arrive at the hotel by taxi, I see all the camera crews ready. "How do they find you every time?" I ask Jude while I look outside slightly irritated. "I really have no idea" he sighs. He turns to me "Ready?" I show him my bracelet "More than ready" I say with a small smile after which Jude starts laughing. "Great."
The door is opened by the hotel porter. Jude gets out first and then he holds out his hand and when I place my hand in his hand he helps me out of the car. When he stands with his back to the camera crew he quickly whispers in my ear "Remember your bracelet." My breathing is higher again and I feel the tightness in my chest because of the many flashes that blind me. "I'm with you." I feel his hand touch my back and lead me to the entrance of the hotel. When the porter closes the door behind us, I let out a deep sigh. "Thank you" I say softly. "Always" he says as he gives me a kiss on the cheek.
The advantage of being so well-known is that you don't have to check yourself in at hotels. That is all arranged, so that it goes very easily and smoothly and you can go straight to your hotel room.
In the hotel room we unpack our stuff, and while I see my Christmas dress I turn to Jude "Do we have to bring our own clothes?" He starts laughing "It's all arranged there." I press my lips together, nod embarrassedly to Jude and then turn back to my suitcase. "Never had a photo shoot before?" "Not for such a big magazine no" I say nervously. "Keep your bracelet on, and I'll be with you. Like I said in Ischgl: I'll make sure you have a really nice and cozy few days. So I'm going to be nice too" he says while he starts laughing. I nod my thanks "I'll remember" I wink at him. and walk to the bathroom. I crawl into bed when I see Jude pointing like, your turn. When I put the covers over me "We have to hold on a little longer, if we have to take turns on the couch every time it will be very long. Just come join us, we have already proven that it is perfectly possible." Jude nods laughing, takes off his shirt and lies down next to me. Not much later we fall asleep.
The next morning breakfast is delivered to the room and we get ready to go to the building where the photoshoot and interview will be done. "The taxi is waiting" Jude says from the living room. I come out of the bathroom, nod once to Jude and walk out of the hotel room. The door to the entrance of the hotel is quickly opened and Jude and I quickly walk into the taxi after which he drives us to the building where the shoot will take place.
As we get out, we are warmly welcomed by the editor-in-chief of Vogue. "Isabella Blue and Jude Bellingham, it is an honor to meet you." We shake her hand as Jude says "Likewise." When they let go of their hands, Jude's hand goes to my back and we follow her inside.
Our bosses Jamie and Karen are waiting for us there. "Well hello" they say with a big grin on their faces. I can't help but roll my eyes at them. "Good to see you together again." I give Karen a hug as well as Jude who gives Jamie a hug. "Are you ready?" We nod silently and follow the editor and the bosses to the elevator that leads us to the dressing room where we are being prepared.
