One In A Million

Chapter 4

"Brooke's POV"

“Positive.  That's how I felt since that I got out of my bed this morning.  I had the feeling that today would be a good day, a very good day for me, but also for all of us.  TOday, I woke up with a large smile on my face.  Just thinking about this other party that was at the horizon made me feel excitedly happy.  I didn't know why, but for me, it would not just be another party, it would be something more.  Me, my girls, with Marco and his crazy partners coming here, wow, I never imagine that something like this would have ever happen, or I have to admit that Marco Reus was genuinely an interesting boy, because yes he was.  At first, when I met him at Ushuaia Club door entry, I wanted to murder his stupidly perfect blonde hair, because if his celebrity status, him and his friends had the "Easy" access to the club, trespassing everyone.  Oh yes, I really wanted to murder his hair because of the way he passed in front of us, the way he said sorry, and mostly for the way he looked at me.  I will never forget it,how he stared at me from my head to toes, and dared to do that kind of flirty smile, that caused me to fume more.  Now, everything has turned so different in my head, the situations and the way I was seeing him, and I had no rational explanations to this.  Maybe that this encounter at Ushuaia Club was meant to happen, maybe it was written somewhere or something like that.  All I can say is that at the first moment I saw Marco, something happened and changed, changed into something positive, but I don't know what it is.  Sometimes, I felt I did not well behaved towards him, maybe I've been too cold and radical in my judgements.  I only judged him by his appearance, famous name, but did not try to see what was behind of all that.  He might have millions of Euros on different bank accounts, cars, the status of being one of the best footballer in Europe, but I could not deny that he have a heart and feelings.  And during these 2 days that I spent with him and his circle of friends, I saw that he was really a nice guy, so different from the image I had of him.  Marco Reus himself making me change my opinions, who would ever think that something like that would happen, not even myself in one of my craziest dream, no.  And for someone to make me change my point of view that quickly, that someone must have something very special, and maybe, yes maybe that Marco was special, who knew.  And I would also admit, yes finally admit that the boys made our holidays in Ibiza a little bit hotter."

I woke up so early today, it was around 06:35 am when I opened my eyes and had a look at my phone clock.  The first thing I did was to verify my text messages, if I haven't receive any, even from Marco, I bet he was still sleeping and snoring heavily at this time.  Thinking about the text messages made me remember of the very funny text conversation we had on last night.  I still couldn't believe that he dared to ask his friend Robin for my number.  Re thinking about this situation brought a large smile to my face, and gave me a boost to get out of that large and comfortable bed.  If we didn't have this party to organize, maybe I would have spent all my morning in it at sleeping for a few more hours.  But no, I just couldn't, because just thinking of what was planned for the night gave me wings like if I drank several red bulls and some excitement.  Yes tonight would be another "party night and dinner" with some extraordinary people, my girls and Marco Reus and his friends.  Thinking about Marco and at the idea that I would meet him again tonight made me smile uncontrollably like an idiot and I didn't know why but it was so weird.

We decided to cook some food like home made pizzas, fried Chinese noodles, but the most delicious would be the barbecue that we planned to organize on the beach.  It was such a perfect weather today, hot, like all the previous days, and we couldn’t miss such occasion to have something there.  Plus, the beach was the perfect place to have our party, with the sea, the sand, and a beach fire would make the atmosphere more fun.  I even wanted to add some paper lantern lights to the filaos, to make it look prettier and feel like if he were having our own mini beach club, but unfortunately, there was no electric extension cable from the house to the beach.  But it wasn’t a big matter, as long as we would have fun, like we had during the previous days, nothing else mattered.  Julia, Kaylee and I spend all the day in the kitchen, busy at preparing the food, because we wanted it to be really delicious and kinda impress our guests.  After we went to the supermarket to buy all the groceries and necessary ingredients for our menus, we stood up all day on our feet, chopping and mixing all the meat, vegetables, ingredients, in the saucepans, bowls.  Or should I say, that I was the one who had to put the right amount of spices, to mix and verify if the cooking temperature was not too hot, yes, most of the food cooking have been done by me, because Julia and Kaylee were not such great cookers, so they preferred to gave me this responsibility.  But I have to admit that they really helped me though, and I also teach them to not be afraid to cook.  From around 12:30 PM to 18:00 PM, we were busy with the food preparations, and didn’t realized that time had passed so quickly.  AFrom what I remember, Marcel had texted Kaylee saying that they would arrive at around 20:00 Pm, meaning I just had about an hour to prepare myself, had a shower, wash my hair and put some clean clothes.  More the time was approaching for their arrival, the more I was feeling happy and excited.  Although, I knew that our party would not be that “Glossy and Luxurious”, I still had the feeling it would be so great and unique in its own way.  Simplicity was always paying, and I hope it will be the case for tonight.
