WHEN ARABELLA WOKE UP, she was confused. she was barely able to move, getting restricted by something. she opened her eyes, immediately seeing the arm draped over her side.

she remembered finally, that kimi slept over. and he was currently spooning her, as she felt his calm breathing on her neck. she grabbed her phone off of the nightstand, checking her socials.

she saw she had posted stories on instagram that she definitely did not remember posting. there was a video of her, valentina, lucy and linnea screaming into the karaoke microphones in front of a big crowd and arabella let out a nose laugh.

then, she heard kimi groan behind her. "oh, sorry, did i wake you up?" bella apologized, making kimi shake his head sleepily. "no, i was already awake." he said softly, making bella smile in relief.

she turned around in his arms, now facing him. "good morning, cariño." she said, kissing his cheek. "good morning, dolcezza." he smiled, giving her a peck on the lips.

she showed him her phone screen, "look at this." she laughed, clicking on her story, which played the video of the karaoke. "oh lord..." kimi chuckled.

then, the next slide on the story played. it was a picture of kimi kissing her cheek as she grinned happily. "i don't even remember this one." bella said, letting out a giggle. "me neither." kimi smiled as the next story played.

this time it was a picture of linnea and ollie with some random sunglasses on and looking at the camera. linnea was pressed into ollie and she was smiling while ollie had put on his serious face.

"look at his face, oh my god." bella laughed once more, kimi joining her instantly. then, the story played the next slide again.

it was a group selfie of bella, valentina, linnea, kimi, diego and ollie. everyone was posing and laughing, making the two laying in the bed smile. "i think we had a nice night."

the two made their way out of bed, kimi put on his clothes from the day before while bella changed into her bikini and pulled shorts over them.

they both brushed their teeth, as there were a few spare toothbrushes already in the bathroom. bella was stood in front of the mirror with her toothbrush still in her mouth as she scrolled through tiktok.

kimi had his arm around her waist as he watched with her. just then, a video popped up with a boy bella certainly recognized.

her ex boyfriend, with another girl. "oh, this poor girl." bella said, muffled by the toothbrush. "who's he?" kimi asked, spitting out his toothpaste after. "my ex, he's insane." she informed, clearly unbothered.

she also spit out her toothpaste, drinking some water after. "i would text her to not do it, but they never believe me until he does some crazy shit." bella shrugged.

"eh, just leave it. there's nothing you can do, really." kimi said, turning to her. "you're right." she said, turning her phone off and putting it on the counter.

he grabbed her by the hips and pulled her closer, "now that we're all fresh..." kimi trailed off, smirking a little. "you're a freak." bella smiled, putting her arms over his shoulders, much like last night.

"your freak." he murmured, pulling her in for a kiss. as the kiss became more heated, the boy lifted bella onto the counter, like she weighed nothing.

suddenly the door to her bathroom opened, "oh my god! you freaks! it's eleven in the morning!" the two quickly pulled apart as santiago covered his eyes dramatically.

"shut up santi, acting like you never kissed a girl before." bella remarked, rolling her eyes. "not this early." the tall boy sassed, closing the bathroom door in front of him.

"i'm hungry." arabella said, kimi blinked in front of her. he was still standing between her legs, his hands on her thighs. "we were kissing twenty seconds ago, you need to sort out your priorities." he stated, making her laugh.

he stepped back from her, letting her jump down from the counter. "c'mon, big boy. your clothes stink by the way." she commented, grabbing his arm and pulling him out of the room.

"oh, i sincerely apologize if my clothes —that were soaked in sangria— stink!" he said dramatically, following bella down the stairs. "shut up."

"me and kimi are eating at the restaurant!" bella informed anyone who was awake. "no one cares bella!" returned the voice of santiago. "no one likes you santiago!" she retorted, grabbing her handbag.

kimi opened the door for her, letting her out into the morning sun. "we'll go to yours first, you have to change out of these stinky clothes, asap." bella said, the boy nodding in response.

the door to kimi's house was luckily already open, so they imagined dino or paul was already back. that suspicion was confirmed as both paul and dino were sleeping on the couch.

"i need to take pictures." bella giggled, making her way towards them and pulling out her phone. "alright well, i'm gonna go change." kimi informed, bella waving him off.

around two minutes later, the boy returned in fresh clothes. "took you long enough." bella complained, kimi giving her a weird look. "i took two minutes tops." he said, making the girl shrug, "whatever, pretty boy."

*.•🪻•.*

the two had been sat in the restaurant for about half an hour, chatting about the most random stuff. "you know, i'm about ninety nine percent sure that diego likes val." bella confessed, making kimi nod.

"real. he's always looking at her like i look at you." the boy replied cheekily. the stupid comment made arabella blush, much to her dismay. "shut up, cornball." she smiled, putting her hands over her face to her her red cheeks.

"don't cover your face, i like making you blush." he teased, grabbing her wrists from across the table and moving her hands away from her face. bella looked to the side, grinning like a child.

"you're so cringe." she said, not meaning it at all. she never got the ick from any of the cringe things the boy said. it was weird, normally she would never allow any guy to say stuff like that to her, deeming it too much. but when kimi did it, it was different.

"you love it." he countered, smiling widely. he knew she loved his cheeky comments and cringe jokes.

"so arrogant." she said, turning back to face him. they locked eyes for a moment. suddenly, bella was hyper aware of his hands still around her wrists. her palms became sweaty, and the blush returned to her cheeks.

"i made you blush again! i didn't even say anything!" kimi chuckled, taking one of his hands back to comb through his hair, as some of the curls were getting in front of his eyes.

"shut up, i hate you." bella said, trying to keep her smile at bay. she kept looking at him though, mesmerized by everything about him.

this is what she was afraid of. she was falling for him, at a rapid pace. she knew this is why she didn't want to have a fling in the first place, but she just couldn't help herself.

it was as if all of her morals went out of the door, the moment him and paul saved her from the weirdo in the club, back on the first day.

it scared her, falling for someone again. but he made it really hard to not fall for him. he was so charming, and exactly bella's type.

his curly hair, his cheeky smile, his italian accent, his abs, his jawline. but most of all his incredibly sweet personality. god, i need to get a grip.

she realized she had been staring at their entwined hands for a hot minute and snapped herself out of it quickly. she looked at him again, only to be reminded on why she liked him so much. those pretty brown eyes were already looking at her.

"stop looking at me like that." she grumbled, making the boy smile softly.

"why?" he said, never taking his eyes off of her. she sighed, looking down at their entangled hands.

" 'cus it makes me wanna punch you in the face for making me feel the way that you do." she said, looking back up at him.

the boy grinned, "what if that was the goal?" he replied. bella shook her head with a smile, "c'mon lover boy, let's go to the beach." she avoided his question, but kimi agreed either way.

they tipped the waiter again, before walking to the beach. the two were walking in silence, a nice silence. the sun was shining brightly, bella and kimi were both lucky that they were already very tanned, so they didn't burn as easily.

bella spotted a little beach bar a few hundred meters away, "let's go there." she told the boy, who looked away from her and to where she was looking. "sure, whatever you want." he smiled, taking her hand.

as they got closer, some slow music could be heard. once they were close enough, bella could make out the tune of 'l'altra dimensione' by måneskin.

kimi seemed to recognize it too, looking at the girl next to him excitedly. "i love this song. do you know how to dance?" he questioned quickly, smiling. "you're asking a spanish girl if she can dance?" bella giggled, kicking off her bath slippers.

he kicked off his slippers as well, taking her waist with one hand and holding her right hand with his left. bella put her left hand over his shoulder, her hand on the back of his neck.

they danced in the sand, sort of a mix between all of the dances both of them knew. kimi softly sang along with the lyrics of the song, under his breath.

"il ballo della vita!", the lyrics repeated as bella turned away from him, launching her self into a quick spin as she only held on to one of his hands. she repeated the process as many times as the song repeated the same lyric.

when the song ended, bella and kimi were both panting. she was flush against his chest, they were so close that their noses almost touched.

suddenly, bella returned to reality as she heard loud clapping, coming from a little distance away. she hadn't noticed, but the little beach bar was packed with people, who just witnessed the two dance around look two love sick puppies.

she turned back to kimi with a smile as she separated herself from him. she grabbed one of his hands back, turning to the group of people, who were still enthusiastically clapping and cheering.

she and kimi took a deep, sarcastic bow to the crowd. they laughed as they stood up straight again. they both collected their slippers before making their way towards the beach bar.

"you kids get drinks on the house!" the bartender smiled happily, he was an older gentleman who looked about sixty. "oh, there's no need! we can pay!" arabella rushed, not wanting to take money from this man.

"nonsense! everyone here loved your little performance." the man laughed, as a few people in the tent agreed with whoops and cheers. "what would you kids like?" he continued.

"it's a little early for alcohol." bella reasoned, the man laughed, "day drinking is good once in a while, trust me when i say two in the afternoon is fine."

"alright, i'll take a cubalibre." she chuckled, as kimi ordered a sangria. the two sat down on the barstools, waiting for their drinks.

a few minutes later, the older gentleman came back with the drinks. "you two are a lovely couple! how come you both are here?" he smiled, smiling cheerfully.

before bella could tell the man they weren't a couple, kimi spoke. "we're both on vacation, we met here about a week and a half ago." the boy explained, taking a sip of his drink.

"we're not officially together. yet." the seventeen year old quickly added, the man behind the bar chuckled. "i would've thought you two had been together for years, with the way you danced so easily." he remarked, surprising bella.

"we met nine days ago." she laughed, kimi and the older gentleman joining in. "seems you two are made for each other." the bartender said, smiling as the two kids blushed.

"seems so."
