Esztar Is Falling

C H A P T E R 29

Allegra Tanner.

Damn!

"Can you stop being a sweetheart for once?" She grinned widely at Liam, her naturally smokey voice beginning to erupt weird sensations inside me.

"Close your eyes, Alli." Vittoria passed Mason and me a goofy smile.

"Why?"

"Just close your eyes. There's a gift for you." Mason placed his palms over her eyes until Vittoria displayed the blue dress.

My chosen blue dress.

"So?" She dragged out. "How did you like it, Miss Tanner?"

Her face was blank for a while. My anxiety shot up. She didn't like it.

"This is... This is bloody gorgeous! Thank you!" She jumped up, first hugging the dress and then Vittoria.

I exhaled a held in breath whilst internally smiling at her skipping around with the excitement of a three year old.

I wonder when she'll get to wear anything other than a black hoodie. A supermodel getting paid for wearing clothes and displaying them is roaming around in a dark outfit, hiding from the world. What a sad irony! It must be so difficult for her.

"When are you getting rid of that thing?" Vittoria pointed at the plaster in her arm.

"Maybe a month."

"That's bad." Mason pouted.

"I don't mind. Your doc is hot! I'll have a reason to visit him." She winked, making me roll my eyes.

"You find Mr Carson hot?" Vittoria made a disgusted face, crossing her legs over the bed. "He's what, seventy?"

"She's into older guys like...grandpa." Mason commented, earning a hard slap on his arm from her.

"Junior Carson has replaced him. He's twenty seven. So chill." Toby said.

"I see." Vittoria nodded. "Is he really that hot?"

"Smoking hot!" Allegra fanned herself.

"I think I'm having a headache. I might have to pay him a visit." Vittoria batted her eyelashes dramatically.

"He's gay." Toby stated.

The girls passed each other mournful looks. "Fuck our luck." Muffin dropped flat on her back over the bed. "You know it took me more than a month to get over the fact that they keep an entire personal doctor. So extra!"

"And I'm still getting over the fact that Alli betrayed me to help that asshole." Mason shouldered Alli seated next to him.

"Shut up, Mase. You admitted it was worth it." She wiggled her brows, throwing me a teasing glance much like everybody else. Apart from a clueless Vittoria.

"What? He really said that? Masey?" She shot back up in a sitting position.

"You say that because you haven't seen-"

I clasped a hand over Mason's mouth, dragging him to the door. "Goodnight everyone. Go to sleep."

"... Grandpa's infamous fish pout video." Toby completed his sentence, smirking.

"Grandpa's what?" She screamed, wide eyed.

What next, they had a good laughing session, enjoying every last bit of my embarrassment.

"I wanna see that live, grandpa. Please!"

"Shut up and sleep, alright. Goodnight." I pushed her down on the bed, pulled the duvet on and shooed everyone to their rooms.
