Start from the beginning
                                        

"Oh my gosh! Arabella your back finally!" Maria yells running down the hall jumping onto me.

"It's only been a few nights, Maria."

"I know, I know but I missed you so much." She wraps a hand around my waist guiding me to the stair case.

"How was the trip what did you do?" She looks at me big eyed.

Ohhh uh

"I just cleaned you know." I divert my gaze to the floor.

"Mhm sure."

Yeah a lot more than that happened, no way in hell will I be telling his sister about it though.

"Where's willow?" I question as we head down the maids quarters.

"Oh you know, hungover. She drank a shit load last night so she's been out like a light, all day today." Maria laughs walking faster.

Wow what have I missed?

"I didn't know she drank?"

"Oh she drinks alright!" Maria giggles getting a key out of her pocket and unlocks my door.

Okay how in the world does she have a key for my room?

"How did you get that key Maria!" I try to snatch it from her hand but she has good reflexes.

"Oh I begged Willow, come on Ara, it's not a big deal." She whines.

Honestly, whatever.

Maybe I should try and get my own room.

"So what have you two been doing?" I ask laying back into my bed.

"Partying almost every night as soon as willow gets off work, there's no Leonardo here to stop us.

True.

"Ara!" Willow screeches practically jumping out of bed like she was never sleeping, why are my friends like this?

"Hi." I mutter wrapping my arms around willows small body. She leans back, "oh my gosh, how was Paris you must tell us all about it!"

Willow and Maria stare at me I fiddle with my hands.

"I only went there to clean! We all know this."

"There's no way you only cleaned." Willow smirks  nudging Maria who nods.

"Leonardo took me to see the Eiffel tower, that's it."

"What he took you, himself!" Willow jumps up off the bed while Maria sits there wide eyed.

"It's not like that Willow, I swear." I try to convince her but she's not having it.

"What ever you wanna think but I know that's not all that happened there whether you tell me or not." She crosses her arms.

"Where's your stuff?" Maria asks from beside me.

"Oh uh I think Leo has it-"

"Okay that proves my point even more!" Willow yells grabbing onto my shoulders.

"Is there something your not telling us?" She stares into my eyes I shake my head.

"Shh willow I already said there's nothing going on!"

"Mhm." Maria hums, getting up to leave.

"Okay I'll see you guys later tonight, I've got to go." Maria hugs us both and leaves.

Willow smirks at me giving me that 'knowing look.' Before leaving behind Maria too.

Finally some peace and quiet.
