"So, what do you guys think about it?". Sally asked the girls as they strolled .
"About what?". Lucy asked.
"The island of course".
Thirty minutes ago, they arrived on the island, and all the important VIPS ( elx included ) were escorted to a magnificent resort where they would stay till the four days were over.
But this resort was only for the VIPS and First class but the others; second and third class were given their own hotels to stay in till ot was time to hit the road.
Anyway, Elx grouped themselves into two, as they strolled round the island gazing upon it's beauty and of course the many additional wonders.
The girls went towards the beach and chatted on the way, while the guys went 'where ever'.
"Well, I'll say the island was... actually more beautiful than you said". Lucy said truthfully with a little pause.
And she couldn't have been more correct.
The island was even as beautiful as the Ship.
The ship was pure luxury, coated with black gold and white in and out it had that mystic touch, the interior was sublime with it's numerous glorious features.
The island on the other hand was simply out of a fantasy book , with its tropical vibes, various large beautiful mountains that leave you wondering, crystal clear icy rivers and beach side wonders.
Sunsets which makes you feel really mesmerized ...
"Enough with the description?!, that's my job". Sally shouted.
Star78:"(pouts)"getting bullied by my own character, how sad😭
"Yeah, you're right Lucy , the island is really pretty". Everling added.
"I'm so honored ". Sally smiled and continued
"But we better hurry and secure a good spot away from the burning sunlight ".
They all nodded as Taylia rushed in front of them.
"Before we do that ". She rushed to an ice cream shop nearby and turned towards them.
"Let's make a little decoy". And she walks in.
Everling sighs
"How could we have forgotten about little Talia's sweet...
"Infested habits". Sally completed the statement feigning annoyance meanwhile,she equally loved sweets and ice cream.
"We better follow her". They followed Taylia in .
"A table for five please". They heard Taylia say as a waiter directed then to a table.
(Note Taylia always orders an extra seat which she claims is for her handbag).
From the seats down to the floor, everything was white ,with a little mix of other colors making it really look like an ice cream parlor.
"Guys!, check this menu out, isn't it delightful, so much flavors!". Her eyes glittered.
"This whole vacation seems much like an amusement park, the only difference is that there's no park instead it's a ship and an island!". Taylia continued smiling sheepishly.
Taylia was normally a quiet girl, infact the most quiet in the whole of the group but
whenever it came to candies, ice cream or anything sweets she was a blabbermouth.
She was a sweet tooth with a large appetite, restaurants and sweets shops were her two favorite places.
Living what people referred to as a 'soft life' she wasn't really difficult to please as long as
you had a bag of candy.
Taylia Davis was the final member of Exphylia Belivex.
I'm already sure you all know, ELX or Exphylia Belivex wasn't just formed in a day, there are stories about this six mystic mercenaries and how they came together little by little.
Taylia was the last person to be 'accepted' into the group.
Taylia was the first child of a rich business man called Ove Davins , but due to some drastic reasons, she had to leave the whole Davins family behind at the early age of 14, meaning she never went to college or even high school.
Currently she was 18, after celebrating her birthday four months, seventeen days ago
Present date: September,22
Taylia was born with her mom's silky smooth black long hair, and her dad's resilient silver eyes.
She wasn't really tall but way taller than Sally around 5'6. She was the complete opposite of Sally, she was quiet, shy and was never the center of attraction, while Sally was loud,bold and always the center of attraction with her unique charms.
Even though, they called each other rivals she didn't really see any reason why Sally would be jealous of her, but she saw every reason why she was jealous of Sally ; her beauty, boldness, and so much more but mostly her nonchalant attitude,she didn't try to please others by becoming a fake version of herself instead she wasn't.
"Why are you spacing out, your heavenly dessert has already been served". Sally said noticing Taylia hadn't touched her cream.
"Oh right!". Taylia was instantly jotted back into reality.
A figure slowly approached their table , standing in front of their table, she said
"So we meet again". Staring up, Everling and Sally immediately remembered her.
"I remember you...You're that arrogant rich snob lady from the restaurant". Sally frowned.
" While you're that annoying poverty infested roach". Sally frowns even more and stands up.
"How dare you!!!".
"It's okay". Everling said calming Sally, eventually Sally sat down.
"I'm sure you didn't come here to make trouble ". Everling cautioned.
"Of course not, I'm sorry, it dawned on me that we didn't actually introduce ourselves the last time we met so since I saw you from my seat over there I decided to come over and introduce myself". She explained.
"That's so nice of you, ... Please sit". Everling beckoned her to sit on the extra seat which Taylia's handbag was currently on.
"But what about my handbag". Taylia pouted.
"Gosh what planet are you from!". Sally complained.
"Just hold it or strap it on your shoulder, after all it's called a handbag for hands!!!, not for seats!".
"Ohh!, you're right". Taylia nodded as she spoke acting like someone who didn't know that was possible.
"Of course I'm right , I can't believe I'm a year younger than you but I'm way
more smarter than you". Sally scoffed.
"Hey!, don't you dare insult me". Taylia shouted ready for another heated argument between the 'ice queen' ( Taylia) and the 'poisoned dragon' (Sally).
"You two behave!". Everling scolded them and they quickly lowered their heads.
"Sorry".
Melissa chuckles
"Anyway, I'm Melissa Derosa but you can call me Melissa". Melissa stretched out her left hand towards Everling for a handshake.
"Well there, nice to meet you Melissa, I'm Everling and this is Sally". Everling shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you two". She forward shook Sally's hand.
"Have we met before". Lucy asked.
Only then did Melissa notice there were two other people on the table.
"Pardon me, this is Taylia and Lucy". Everling said.
"Nice to meet you Lucy and Taylia". Melissa smiled sweetly. She had a mixture of both blonde hair and pink eyes looking like a doll , a cute one.
"But I'm not sure we've ever met, this is actually my first time seeing you". Melissa replied with a hand on her chin looking like she was trying to remember something
"Oh". Lucy muttered quietly.
"It's just that I had a feeling of deja Vu when I saw you,but you probably right, we've never met before ".
"So are you four,like a family or a group of friends? ". Melissa skillfully changed the topic.
"We're friends and business partners out on a vacation ". Sally replied and Melissa nodded.
"Do you want some?". Taylia asked pointing towards her bowl of ice cream.
"No thanks!, I'm not really into ice cream". Melissa shook her head.
"Then why are you here?". Taylia asked with a puzzled look.
"For their famous coffee bean jelly!".
"Woah!, they have that". Sally eyes glittered.
"I'll really love to try that!". Taylia added as they all ordered it.
Few minutes later,
"Ahhh, that was simply divine".
"Yep!, you can say that again". Sally added.
"So Lisa, why are you.. here?". Taylia asked curiously.
"Must be out for a vacation huh". Sally replied before Melissa had the chance to speak.
"Not quite".
"Huh?". They looked at her with a shocked expression.
"Then why are you here?". Sally slowly asked.
"To find someone".
"A long lost lover". Sally teased.
Melissa chuckled before replying
"Nope, the person in question isn't really of any importance to me, he's only of value to my boss".
"Maybe he's the secret lover of your boss ".
Melissa chuckled again, her bright pink eyes sparkled.
"You silly girl, my boss isn't a lady".
"Oh". Sally's face instantly reddened with embarrassment.
Taylia burst out laughing like a cave man , Everling joined in.
Sally took a sip from a glass of water to hide her shame.
"Come on girls, stop teasing her". Melissa continued after a slight laughter.
"I don't even know what my boss wants with this Alouis boy".
The table suddenly went cold.
"Huh!".
"What?". Melissa stared at their shocked faces.
"You mentioned a name a little bit ago ". Lucy spoke with still as shocked as the others.
*There's no way it could be him, right*. They all thought.
"Oh, you mean Alouis,that's the name of the guy I'm out here 'hunting for". Melissa replied .
Sally spat out the little bit of water on her mouth and started coughing violently.
"Are you okay". Melissa asked with a worried tone.
"I'm fine". Sally replied after the coughing subsided.
"Phew, thank goodness". Melissa heaved a sigh of relief.
"But the way you guys acted, if I didn't know any better, I'd say it sounded like you know an 'Alouis' fellow" . Melissa added at stared repeatedly at each and every one of them.
"What!, phessh, hell no". Everling shook her head.
"Never heard of such a person ". Lucy replied as Melissa turned to her.
"Nope, me neither ". Taylia added.
"Me!, why ... would .... Of. ..course not". Sally stammered as she kept on sweating.
*Arrgh, why am I such a bad liar*. She mentally facepalmed.
Melissa eyes scrutinized every single inch of their faces
"Well then ,if you say so". She erupted into a bright smile as she continued.
"Why don't we head down to the beach".
"But what was your boss's plan with this Alouis fellow". Everling couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't bother asking, and he didn't tell me in the first place".
Holding back her remaining questions, Everling continued.
"Okay then to the beach!".
"That was actually our first stop, before someone made us take a decoy ". Sally pointed to Taylia .
"Hey!". Taylia pouted.
"Can't blame a sweet tooth ". Melissa smiled.
"We better hurry before the sun gets out". Everling added.
"I heard there's a supply store close by that we can get some beach umbrellas". Melissa informed them.
"Then what are we waiting for". Sally hurriedly stood up and went to pay the bills.
Together they left the ice cream shop.
They all spent the whole day together at the beach having a blast.
But when they got back they didn't forget to tell the boys about what Melissa said.
"But why would she be interested in Alouis". Varian pondered.
"Hey!, Im definitely sure it's not this bozo over here". Sally said whacking Alouis on the head.
"What was that for ". Alouis frowned.
"To remind you that you're a Bozo ". Sally had a evil smile going on as she said this
"Haha, very funny ". Alouis replied with a bulging vein.
*It's definitely that b*st*rd,(sighs), even after six years you still don't know just when to quit, after what happened a month ago, there's no doubt in my mind that you're the so called 'boss' and that you're still trying to find me or should I say have already found me, not like any of that even matters now that you're all in the past*. Alouis thought as he had a lazy look in his eyes.
He couldn't care less if a mad scientist was after him, all he wanted was some sleep.
"Nevertheless, here's a picture just in case you ever see her". Lucy brought out her phone and showed him a photo of Melissa.
"Woah!, when did you take such a clean shot". Sally admired the pic.
"It looks a lot like when we were leaving the supply store but I didn't notice you taking a pic". Taylia added.
"Yeah! ... There's even some pics of us in here" . Sally scrolled through her gallery.
"I like this one a lot". She muttered.
"I just thought it was important, but if it's inconvenient I'll delete it". Lucy instantly offered.
"Oh no it's fine". Varian waved him hands.
"Are you sure it's alright". She asked again.
"Definitely". Varian gave her a reassuring thumbs up.
" I guess we all had a very long and tiring day, so why don't we go get a whince of sleep before daybreak ". Alouis suggested.
"Yeah, all that gaming is making me sleepy ". Vincent nodded.
They were all gathered in a special room reserved for them as a living room. It was already past twelve so they agreed and went to bed.
They spent the remaining days in almost all the fun places on the island going round and round. They visited the arcade, beach, restaurants, even a ferris wheel and different other cool places. With all this fun they couldn't help but wish to stay for another couple of months.
Soon seconds turned to minutes, minutes to hours and hours to days , finally it was the last day of the vacation to the Island of Bliss.
