"So, Puerto Rico..."
Arthur Leclerc spoke awkwardly, lifting one of his hands to rub at the back of his neck, whilst he walked beside a dark haired girl that was Luisa-Sofia Jimenez Ortiz.
"Yes, Puerto Rico..." Luisa giggled as she copied him, hearing the lightest of chuckles coming from one of the other men that were walking with her and carrying her bags for her.
"Puerto Rico..." Charles Leclerc spoke teasingly, noticing the side glare that his younger brother was giving him.
"Monte Carlo..." Lorenzo Leclerc responded, unsure of what was going on.
"Is it a nice place?" Arthur spoke with intrigue, since he wanted to know a little bit more about her.
"Yeah, you'd probably like it, if you can speak Spanish anyway." Luisa-Sofia spoke, since she always found Puerto Rico beautiful.
She also knew that people tended to enjoy it more if they speak the language, because they can communicate with the locals more and find out about the best spots to go to, which they were less likely to be able to do if they did not speak Spanish.
It was her home, and whilst her family and her village were not financially viable to do much due to how poor her area of the country was, she still loved it with her whole heart.
Monaco and Monte Carlo in specifics were loved by her too, but it wasn't quite the same feeling as her home.
She wondered if the small country would ever be her home, but she doubted it.
"I can't, but I know somebody who can speak it." Arthur grinned cheekily, watching as the young girl rolled her eyes as a small smile coated her features.
"You don't speak French and yet you're in Monte Carlo." Arthur responded, copying her words slightly.
"Yeah, but I know somebody who can speak it." Luisa-Sofia smirked, quickly meeting the eyes of the middle brother.
The three Leclerc brothers laughed as she mocked the youngest of them, quickly realising that the girl that was walking beside them had a very good sense of humor.
"So you said that you're staying here for a month, right?" Lorenzo questioned the young girl, noticing how she nodded her head up and down.
"Yes, I have got multiple hotels booked, because it was cheaper to stay at different ones than all of the same." Luisa smiled, accepting a water bottle that was being handed to her from the middle brother.
"Do you like boats?" Charles questioned politely, watching as she seemed to ponder on her answer for a short moment.
"Yes, as long as I'm not being pushed off it to a watery death." The Puerto Rican girl smiled, her eyes sparkling in the Monégasque sunlight.
"We promise that you won't be." Arthur shot the girl a playful wink, noticing how her cheeks seem to glow pink. "If you teach me Spanish."
"Looks like I'm drowning then." The brunette smiled cheekily, dimples evident on her face.
"Can you swim?" Lorenzo questioned in a serious tone, since he did not want her to panic about being on a boat on the ocean if she could not swim.
"Nope, but it can't be that hard to learn, right?"

"I'm drowning!"
Luisa-Sofia Jimenez Ortiz raised her voice as she resided in the crystal blue waters of the ocean, metres away from the yacht that she had been invited on, which belonged to Charles Leclerc.
Her arms were in the air as she desperately tried to stay above the water, her small legs kicking as much as she could every time that her head went underneath the surface.
Her head sank below the surface once again, water flooding her lungs, just before a pair of arms wrapped around her waist to hoist her back above the surface of the water, making her cough the sea water out.
"You're stupid, you know that, right?"
Arthur Leclerc smiled at her as he helped make sure that she stayed above the surface, not wanting her to slip below once again and drown.
"Well, I've always been taught that you have to face your fears head on." She coughed, whilst recieving helping hands from the other brothers to pull her back on to the boat.
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean that you have to jump in to the ocean if you can't swim!"
Charles quickly pulled his hooded sweatshirt off the decked floor so that she could slip in to it, in case that she was cold and going in to shock at having nearly drowned.
"Well I know that, now."
"Please tell us that you're not going to jump out of a plane to cure your fear of heights."
"Did that already, made me even more scared."
Arthur shook his head from side to side, walking back over to her to hand her a bottle of water, not sea water, for to take small sips of.
"Didn't you fly here on a plane?" Arthur questioned, wondering how she managed to go on a plane if she was scared of heights.
"No, I just let my wings come out and flew here with them." Luisa gave him a deadpan look, sarcasm rolling off her tongue. "I was asleep on the plane. I didn't notice how high up I was, until I woke up when we were about to land."
"What other fears do you have?" Arthur asked. "Just in case we need to stop you from trying to conquer your fears."
"I'm scared of clowns, and uh, spoons."
Luisa lifted of her hands up to rub at the back of her neck as she stared at the ground, embarrassment and awkwardness flooding her system.
"Did you just say spoons?" Charles spoke with raised eyebrows, determined not to laugh because it seemed as though it was a genuine fear.
"I don't like the way the look!" She immediately raised her hands up in to the air in a defensive manner, a light smile coating her lips. "Or the way they bend, or how they spray water back at you when you're trying to wash them."
"That's a new one." Lorenzo smiled, gently patting her on her shoulder. "I haven't heard that one before."
"Yeah? Well my brother is scared of oxygen." Luisa giggled, remembering that one of her older brothers was scared of the oxygen.
He claimed that he was scared of it, due to thinking that oxygen was harmful to humans, and said that he wanted to breathe Carbon Dioxide instead, like plants did.
"Okay, I've definitely not heard that one before." Lorenzo smiled, shaking his head from side to side.
"Why did you trust us straight away?" Arthur suddenly spoke, speaking what he had wanted to say from the beginning.
"What?"
"You trusted us straight away. We could have harmed you, killed you, and yet you straight away trusted us and even let us take you on a boat. Why?"
Luisa shrugged her shoulders nonchantly, her bottom lip protruding outwards slightly, since she hadn't really considered them ever having bad intentions.
"Well, you did save me from becoming road kill, so I guess that I figured out that you weren't too bad and not dangerous. Why? Should I be worried?" Luisa folded her arms in front of her chest whilst raising one of her eyebrows.
"Wha- no! Of course not." Arthur spoke quickly, rushing his words out of his mouth as if he was trying to stop her from fleeing.
"Good. Because after years of being bullied by my brothers, I learnt how to fight."
Luisa clenched her fists, shifting her feet so that they were in a staggered position, leaning on her back foot. Her eyebrows moved in to a scowl, attempting to look intimidating.
Arthur was forced to hold back a smile at how adorable she looked when she was trying to look mean and scary.
He glanced to his brothers to see them pulling the same facial expression as himself, though they were slowly nodding their heads up and down.
"Yeah, I won't be planning to kill you any time soon." Charles spoke as he raised his hands up in to the air in a defensive stance. He was biting back a smile, but he had to let her believe that she looked intimidating.
Instead, she looked like a labrador.
"You can be their bodyguard if you know how to fight." Lorenzo smiled at her in a friendly way. "You won't get harmed by anybody if you're a bodyguard, and can kick ass."
"I'm like a guardian of the galaxy. Kick names, take ass."
