Isabella pov

"I am excited and sad about going back," Aubrey says as we step into the plane "me too I do not wanna get back to working every day, this here was really fun," Daniel says and we all nod. we all sit down and bet our belt on because the plane was going up. "okay thank god we can take it off now" Aubrey says and we all take it off, "where are you going?" Daniel asks as Carl gets up "I have to make a call" he says and walks into a room.

Of course, Angela is waiting for him.

"Y'all down for a drink?" Daniel asks and I nod my head "yeah" Aubrey and I say at the same time. "okay I think there is only beer and vodka" he says and leaves to bring our drinks. I take in a breath and lay down, my head on Aubrey's laps "you okay?" she asks playing with my hair and I nod my head "yeah just tired" I say closing my eyes. "here we go ladies" Daniel comes back with drinks, I say a quiet thank you as he gives me my beer "so lets talk I want stories" he says taking a shot from his vodka. "story about what?" Aubrey asks and Daniel smirks "what age did you guys lose your virginity?" Daniel asks and I groan making him laugh "I was 18" Aubrey says and Daniel nods his head "what about you?" he asks me and I roll my eyes "23" I say and his eyes go wide "so last year?" he asked and I nod my head taking a sip from my beer "damn girl I thought maybe 17 or 18" he says and I shake my head as Carl comes in and sits down on the chair beside Daniel which is in front of us. "she was a good girl" Aubrey says taking a sip from her drink and still playing with my hair.

"wait what about you?" I ask Daniel and he chuckles "16," he says and I shake my head and chuckle "of course why did I ask," I say and he gives me a mad face as a joke. "what about you Carl, what age did you lose your virginity?" Aubrey asks Carl "I was 16" he says opening himself a beer "ah these ladies were 18 and 23" he says and Carl frowns "who was 23?" he asks and Daniel points at me "damn princess" he says and I shake my head and sit up to take a sip of my drink. "was the guy David?" Daniel asks and I nod my head and get up "I am gonna use the restroom" I say and walk toward the bathroom, I go in and lock the door behind me and take a deep breath. I walk to the sink and look myself in the mirror damn I look tired.

I wash my face and open the bathroom door to see Carl standing there "you okay?" he asks and I nod my head "yeah why wouldn't I be?" I say and he shrugs "I don't know maybe because they are talking about the asshole boyfriend of yours," he says and I sight "I am fine," I say and walk back to where Aubrey is. The whole time after I would only nod my or shake when they ask something, I just kept to myself not in the mood to be talking. "we are about to land in an hour" Daniel says and I do a little dance on the inside, thank the lord. "so what happens when we go back?" Aubrey asks the boys "well we get our check and just keep working" Carl says and I frown "check?" I ask and he nods "well yeah you know you get paid right?" he says and I shook my head "thank god I need money for new to clothe man I feel disgusted," Aubrey says and I chuckle.

Finally, it has been two hours since we landed and now I am lying down in bed waiting for darkness to take over but it wouldn't. I never had trouble sleeping when David was here and now that has happened and the dead body it just isn't helping. I get out of bed and change into running clothe, I open the door and close it quietly after I walk out, "where are you going?" Carl's voice makes me jump, my hand flying to my chest "oh my god Carl" I say and take in deep breaths. He comes closer to me and I frown, he looks a mess "are you okay?" I ask as I see he has a bruise  on his jaw and his hair is all messy and  cuts on his bare chest "what happened?" I ask and get closer to him, touching the bruise on his jaw, he flinches away and my frown deepens "nothing" he says looking at me closely, "Carl, it is not anything your face is literally bruised and you have cut all over your chest" I say looking at him, "come with me" I take him by the hand and go into my room again. I walk him to the bathroom and make him sit down on the toilet.

"you don- "shut up and let me help you," I say before he can finish his sentence. I take out all the supplies I need and go back to him and start to clean up the cuts "this might hurt"I whisper and he flinches when the cotton touches his skin. "what happened?" I ask him again and he closes his eyes and sight " I had to take care of business for Danielle and there was a man there who attacked me" he says as I am standing between his legs bandaging his cuts. I walk back to the cabin and get the Advil and walk out of my room to bring the water bottle I have after I get the water bottle I walk back and hand it to Carl "take this" I say giving him the water and pill. He puts it in his mouth and takes a sip from the water. "thanks" he says giving me back the water. "wait here I am gonna come back" I say and walk out of my room, going to the kitchen to get ice for his bruise.

I get back upstairs and go back to the bathroom to see him staring at the floor, I walk up to him and get to his level and slowly put the ice on his bruise which he flinches at first. Our faces are really close right now, our nose is so close to touching but yet it isn't touching "you don't have to" he says his voice coming out in a whisper " I want to though"I say looking at him. I gulp as I see him leaning in, but I also lean in as well, our noses are touching and I can smell his minty breath, our lips are close but yet they aren't touching. I slowly I tilt my head, right as I did that I felt his sweet soft lips on mine. This kiss was hot sweet sexy, he was so soft with it like he was scared not to hurt me. I open my mouth and I feel his tongue with mine making me moan, he carries me and puts me in his lap, my hands going in his thick dark hair. He groans as I start to pull it slowly, I pull back from the kiss in need to breathe.

I get up from his lap as his phone starts ringing, he pulls it out and I see the name, Angela. My heart drops and I turn away giving him my back "hello?" he answers and gets up, the last thing I heard was her saying "hey babe"
