Revelations

Sorry it's a short one today xx

SOPHIA'S POV:

The whole afternoon at the beach passed by very quickly. Thankfully Bella and Kimi were getting along better and there was no awkwardness between them both. It made myself and Seb more relaxed, I mean we both hated seeing our best friends mad at each other. Still, tonight held a promise of a good time too, Sebastian had made dinner plans for the four of us at some elegant place he knew of. So leaving the boys inside the hotel, Bella and I entered our room so we could get ready.

"I'm actually looking forward to this dinner" Bella said as she turned the shower on. "me too, I mean, we're in Italy, the weather's perfect and we've got dinner reservations with two very handsome men" I beamed making Bella laugh from inside the bathroom. "what were you and Kimi talking about at the beach? You guys didn't even realise we'd come back to join you, you were so wrapped up in each other" I giggled.

"wrapped up? I wish we were!" Bella sighed, popping her head round the door frame, I laughed. "so you guys any closer to, y'know?" I winked at her. "um, not exactly" she said, disappearing round the door again. "I feel 100 times more comfortable with him again" she yelled as I heard the shower door close "but I've still got my wall up." she added. I sighed in frustration as I scanned through the dresses I'd brought with me. Bella really needed to let that go, no matter how hard it was for her.

Several minutes later, the water turned off and Bella emerged wrapped in a white towel with another around her head. "it's like when I'm with him, he sweeps me away and I forget all the nasty baggage I have, but then as soon as I'm conscious of the fact I'm falling, the wall comes right back up and I'm ready to run from him again" she carried on as she stood beside me, facing the mirror.

"but you are falling?"
Bella looked at me through the mirror and bit her lip. "like never before"
