Della Lechâteau and her friends take off to Monaco for a grad trip to remember forever. The weather is warmer and the real world is nothing but a distant thought in the beautiful destination that attracts the wealthiest people in the world. Adventur...
The next morning the sun shining through the curtains wakes me up. I stretch my arms above my head and smile before reaching for where I left my phone on the nightstand. When I pick up the device it vibrates with a new notification. My smile gets bigger when I see a text message from Charles, Bonjour Della 😊, the simple greeting makes my heart flutter. I bite my lip as I type out a reply, bonjour Charles ☺️, I lower my phone trying to hold back the ridiculous grin that wants to come to my face as I flop onto my back. "Dellaaaaa wakey wakey!" I groan at the yell, but sit up again knowing that if I don't leave now my friends while barge into my room. I swing my legs out of bed before standing to get dressed for the day planned at the Jardin Exotique.
I walk into the kitchen when i'm ready still smiling about Charles' text. "She's got it bad Wrenny" I look up to see the two brunettes watching me, "I don't" I reply as I go to make some food for myself, "but he wants to hangout with you Del, that's gotta mean something" I shrug, "friends can hangout" I mumble as I wait for my toast. They sigh but don't say anything as I grab the finished toast before spreading some butter on it, walking over to sit at the counter. "Babe coffee?" I nod and finish eating before hopping off the stool to take my wallet and the apartment key as I leave.
When I step outside I grin as I cross the street when there are no cars driving by. The shorts I'm wearing have pockets so I stick the keys in one but keep my wallet in my hand as I walk into the cafe. I get to the counter smiling at the usual girl that's working in the morning, "bonjour" I say she says the same back before I order the same coffees as everyday. I pull out the right amount of money placing it on the counter, including a tip for her, "merci" she tells me and I smile before moving over to where I need to wait for the drinks. "Remembered your wallet?" I jump at the voice spinning around with a hand over my heart, "geez don't give me a heart attack Charles" he smiles sheepishly, "sorry Della" I smile, "it's okay, and yes I did remember my wallet to answer your question" he chuckles and I stick my tongue out at him. Once I get the coffees and Charles gets his we walk outside together, "what are you doing today?" he asks, I smile while taking the apartment key out of my pocket, "we're going to the Jardin Exotique and then probably just walking around the city, how about you?" I reply looking up at him, "you'll love it at the Jardin, the view is spectacular, while you're doing that i'll be getting some things done for work" I nod and take a sip of my coffee. "What do you do for work?" I ask curiously, he shrugs, "I drive a lot" he replies cryptically, I lift an eyebrow but don't ask anymore questions getting a feeling that he doesn't want to talk about it.
We stop at the front door of the building where i'm staying, "well have a great day Charles" he smiles down at me, "you too Del, enjoy the city" I nod while biting my lip, my gaze locked with his for a few extra seconds before I turn to walk into the building.

After so much teasing from Émie and Wren about Charles we finally make our way to the Jardin Exotique. We pay the admission fee to get us into all three zones of the venue, taking a map before venturing towards the garden of lush green plants. I'm grinning at the greenery, my eyes taking in all of the amazing plants, taking photos of almost everything as the three of us walk along the path. A few minutes later we come to a stop at a overlook framed by a gorgeous pergola. "Wow now that's quite the view" Wren says walking towards the overlook wall, I follow her smiling my phone ready to take pictures of a view that I will be sure to draw when I have the time. "Babes turn to me, gotta capture this moment" we turn to Émie smiling as she runs to us to get the perfect selfie overlooking Monte Carlo. I spend a few more minutes just enjoying the view a smile on my face, "ready to go Del?" I peer over my shoulder, "yeah" I reply and walk to my friends who have already started walking back down the path. I stop taking a picture of the empty overlook with it's pergola, before following my friends towards the caves portion of the Jardin.
We walk out of the Jardin Exotique later, the time on my watch showing that it's a little after 2 o'clock. The three of us stop at a bakery for lunch, taking sandwiches to go as we explore the city. "Imagine living here year round" Wren says as we walk, I smile at the thought, "that would be kind of amazing" Émie replies before taking a bite out of her sandwich. I nod in agreement keeping my phone in hand to keep taking pictures of Monte Carlo as we discover new streets with colourful buildings. We keep walking occasionally taking photo breaks, whether it's of us or our surroundings leaving smiles on our faces and our laughter echoing around us.
Before we know it it's nearing five and the sun is starting to set so we make our way back to our place. The GPS on my phone providing the directions with every street looking similar to our foreign eyes. Once we get into the apartment we flop onto the couch together all of us smiling about the great day we had in Monte Carlo, looking forward to more amazing days.
