Hello,
When I last wrote I was going to watch my friends in We Will Rock You which they were performing... It was amazing! It was like something that I'd pay to see on Broadway! Following the show we went out on deck for a party which the show team were doing, they sang various songs and had the majority of the passengers up dancing with them. Once they'd finished they joined us at our table for some drinks and carried on drinking until the early hours.. Kelly, Kayleigh and Ellie went to bed with some of the dancers that evening, Gabrielle was too tired and couldn't be bothered, me and Elliot wanted to sleep with them, but they're straight so we settled for one another.
We woke up in the morning in Florence and Gabrielle, Elliot and I went into the town centre early while the other girls stayed with the men they'd taken back to their suites. Gabrielle was on full form.. She got 2 pairs of shoes and a bag in Chanel, seven thousand pounds worth of dresses in Valentino along with a clutch and a ring and earrings in Gucci which totaled in excess of two thousand pounds. I got 2 Dolce & Gabbana suits and a pair of shoes in Gucci and Elliot got an Armani Collezioni croc leather jacket and 2 pairs of prada lace ups.
We put the bags into the mercedes and began the journey back. When we got back to the ship we went straight up to the pool to see the others. They told us about how their nights went last night and then we all went up stairs, they were getting ready to go into town and we were getting ready to go to the pool. I dropped off my bags, exchanged my Marc Jacobs shorts for some Abercrombie swimming ones and went to the pool. We had reserved beds everyday which didn't go down to well with the rest of the passengers but, we're paying about £700 a night, why shouldn't we get them? I felt as though we were beginning to get a reputation for ourselves.. The times when the other passengers saw us were for example, when Gabrielle drew great attention to us all with her helicopter entrance, when they saw us get our branded bags out of the chauffeured mercedes' and like today, when we went to the pool to talk to our friends in possession of thousands of pounds worth of shopping, all noticeable by the name on the bag, we were splashing money around, but we do that without trying, and to be frank, I couldn't care whether these people like us or not.
We sat around the pool enjoying the people watching and sun when one of our friends came around to see if we wished to participate in a daytime quiz. I declined, as did Elliot, however Gabrielle was bored and so took part. Bless her, she's not the brightest spark in the box. She completed the quiz and seeing as there was nobody to exchange answers with nearby, the quiz host, Marc, marked her answers for her. At least it made the afternoon more entertaining. When asked the question: What is Lance Armstrong famous for, and what has he helped raise awareness of? She wrote being the first man on the moon and life on Mars. The whole pool area erupted into laughter as Marc read her answer out and she just sat there grinning wondering why. Then she was asked what a seizure is and she wrote a roman emperor. Then she was asked to finish the simple saying: where there's smoke there's.. The obvious answer which we all know is fire; she wrote pollution. Everybody found it highly amusing, including me and she didn't know what was so funny, to her all those answers were correct. She just verified the stereotype of stupid little rich girl... Long blonde hair, fake boobs, plenty of money and not an ounce of intelligence. Gabrielle then agreed to take part in that evenings talent show which the majority of the ship would be watching just to prove she's not completely useless.
The others returned about 5 minutes before they had to be on the ship before it sailed and had also managed to spend a small fortune. At about half past 5 we all went up to our rooms to get ready for dinner, amongst other things. Elliot came back to my room for a while and then I got ready. We went for sushi and then to a show in the theatre where our friends performed which was followed by the talent show an hour later, Gabrielle hadn't been with us for most of the evening...
The various acts performed such as singing, dancing and gymnastics and then Gabrielle was introduced. They said: Some of you may have seen this young lady around the ship or may know of her from her excellence in todays quiz, or when she joined us via helicopter on our night of departure. Gabrielle was a student at the royal ballet school in London from the age of 11 until she was 17 often taking leading roles in the show which she will performing a snippet of for you tonight.. Swan Lake. She came out with Reggie (one of the dancers) and took centre stage whilst it filled with smoke and the lights were dimmed. She did the dance and amazed the crowd by her ability to lift her leg to her ear with such ease and made the other dancers look like ametures. In a sense they were, they are not up to royal ballet standards, although they are good, they're not that good. She basically performed this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO4AMbM1xVc ... Notice Reggie was merely a support. In the end she won, and quite rightly too, people pay up to £130 to watch a royal ballet swan lake haha. When she won she returned to the stage in a completely different outfit with more dancers to perform: I've had the time of my life. In this she did a number of lifts and leaps amongst other various things and left to a round of applause, it was said that she may be appearing in one of the shows this week.
We went and sat out on deck with the dancers and they told Gabrielle how amazed they were by her performance and how she outshone them, she of course loved the attention and lapped it up. We drank until the early hours and whilst we were chatting with our new found friends we invited them to come to the casino with us tomorrow night. As we were going to be in Villefranche for a few days and it was their night off it seemed like an ideal opportunity and something which they'd probably never get chance to do again. They said no at first due to having nothing to wear and not fitting in but we assured them they'd be fine and they agreed.
We got up in the morning and disembarked the ship expecting to find the mercedes which usually picked us up. Not today. Instead we got off to a huge crowd of people taking pictures. As we pushed our way through there was 3 black Ferrari's all lined up. The concierge came out and handed us the keys with a note, given to Kayleigh. It said: Hope you and your friends are having a lovely time... If you're going to Monte Carlo you've got to go equipped. Enjoy darling. Love Mum x
I was given a set of keys, as was Kayleigh, as was Elliot. I went with Gabrielle, Elliot went with Ellie and Kayleigh went with Kelly. Everybody was insanely jealous but we loved it. They watched as we went driving off in the direction of Monte Carlo. Whilst we were driving there we stayed together as none of us really knew where we were going. Gabrielle was screaming in the car because she thought I was going to kill us both.. I took advantage due to the lack of speed cameras and when we finally got into the centre of Monte Carlo she was ready for killing me. I went driving down the hill to the casino roundabout fairly quick and she screamed "Kyle you are going to kill somebody!" I assured her I wasn't and just said "They all get out of the way in time don't worry." Then as we were just outside of the casino she got fed up of me nearly running people over and made me swap seats with her. Elliot was behind us revving his engine and gabrielle got in the drivers seat and stalled the car straight away. Then she turned the engine on, went about 3 feet and did it again, all the while the tourists were staring at the three identical Ferrari's which were driving in convoy, with mixed reactions. She said "Oh sod it!" got her bag, got out of the car, threw the keys at one of the valet's outside of the casino and said "Kyle tell him" to which I said in french, could you park the car with the others please and she handed him €20 and said "We'll see you all in Bulgari." She stormed off ahead and I went to get a drink.
Apparently I wasn't looking as wealthy as my sibling. She was in a Roberto Cavalli maxi dress with a Cavalli clutch and I was in a pair of cropped trousers from Gucci, a pair of monogram flip flops also from gucci and a white shirt, however when I approached the door to Bulgari the doorman just looked at me like he did all of the tourists with a look on his face meaning no other than "As if..." I took of my sunglasses, looked at him, took out my wallet and showed him the black american express and upon seeing this he flustered and opened the door immediately apologizing sincerely, I just said (in french) "Honestly, you'd think you'd have learnt a few things.." Then I spent a few thousand on a ring and when we left I said "It seems I was worthy of an entrance after-all, wouldn't you agree?" He looked embarrassed and we all left. Gabrielle, Kayleigh and myself were the only ones to purchase things in there.
We shopped for a few hours, purchasing things for the casino, and then went for lunch in Cafe de Paris. Following this we went back to the cars and drove home. The tourists however had flooded into the street outside of the casino and I must've had about 50 pictures taken, or of the cars, in the short space of time we spent there. Gabrielle didn't go in my car on the way home, I went with Kelly instead and grandmother went with Kayleigh. Kelly put the music on to the maximum and loved the speed haha. It's more fun driving this way! On the way back I got a text from Reggie saying that everyone had been talking about the Ferraris and if I'd take him for a quick spin in it before it went. I replied saying of course and to bring the others if they wanted. We got back to the ship and they were stood waiting for us, there were a few passengers in a nearby cafe staring and taking pictures of the cars too. Me, Elliot and Kayleigh took them one by one for a drive in the cars, however, I suggested those with a desire for an adrenaline rush to come with me and the others to go with Elliot and Kayleigh, they were a little more sensible but I'm a better driver ;) We took them for a quick five minute drive each and their faces lit up like children haha then we got back on the boat to have something quick to eat before beginning to get ready.
I phoned the concierge to double check the cars we had arranged were coming and she assured me that they were, then Dean and Reggie came to my room for clothes. We all said that if they wanted to come they would and could wear our clothes... I didn't mind, I will probably only wear it once anyway haha. I gave dean a navy blue suit with a white shirt which I had purchased from Spencer Hart on Saville Row, a skinny black tie from Dolce & Gabbana and some brown shoes from Prada. I lent him my Rolex GMT Master II, or what ever it's called, to top the outfit off along with a pair of 25 karat rose gold cufflinks from BRM. With each item I gave him he asked how much it was and when I told him he said "Oh my god, I have never even possessed this much money let alone wear it!" In total his outfit was in excess of approximately 8 thousand pounds. Then it was Reggie's turn. Due to him being quite well tanned I gave him a shiny black suit with a matching black shirt and a navy blue skinny tie, all from Cavalli, with a silver tie clip from Dolce & Gabbana and the patent crocodile embossed shoes which my mother sent me. Then I gave him my Bulgari watch which alone cost £4000. I told them both where my accessory trunk was and told them to go and get themselves wallets and sunglasses if they wanted them. I then changed into my new Dolce & Gabbana suit with a white shirt and silver skinny tie also from Dolce, a brown Hermes belt, Dior shoes and my Hermes cape cod 1928 watch, which cost more than my whole outfit put together. Reggie came back with a Crocodile embossed Prada wallet which matched his shoes and Dean came back with one from Louis Vuitton. I used my new Gucci patent embossed breast pocket wallet which was filled with a couple of hundred euros in cash and the black american express.
We went down to reception and waited for the others. Elliot came down shortly after with Danny. Elliot looked rather dashing in a grey 3 piece suit by Armani with a white shirt and plum tie, he wore it with a pair of Gucci laceups and an Audemars Piguet watch. He'd dressed Danny in a blue Tom Ford suit with a black tie and white shirt and black shoes by Dolce & Gabanna. A short while later the girls came dressed in red carpet attire. Gabrielle herself was in Marchesa couture and had dressed Gemma in Notte by Marchesa. Then Kayleigh came down in a floor length black Vera Wang gown. Followed by Ellie who came dressed in a black Marc Valvo couture with Heidi whom she'd put in a gorgeous one shoulder floor length red Christian Lacroix gown. Finally Kelly came down dressed in a sexy Roberto Cavalli black gown which had a slit right up one leg, she wore it with some platformed Fendi heels and her long blonde hair was put up and curled with smokey eyes... I'm gay and I thought she looked attractive! She probably had intentions of this. She'd dressed Lorna in a cream pleated Fendi dress which she looked gorgeous in. We all stood there ready and the dancers stood twitching with excitement and were astonished by one another's transformations. You'd think they were heirs not dancers. Then we all got on the tender which took us to the land where there were 3 chauffeured Bentleys, this is not how we usually do it, but it's all we could get and there's 12 of us so it was 4 per car. Whilst on the journey to the casino Lorna was saying how overwhelmed she was "I'm wearing a two thousand pound dress and four hundred pound shoes and I don't even know how much this clutch is, plus I'm getting driven to Monte Carlo casino in a Bentley.. This is so surreal." For the record, her clutch was vintage dior, so worth a fair amount. As we approached Monte Carlo we told them they'd have to blend in and try not to be so excited, they all said they'd do their best. That's all I could ask for I suppose. We also told the boys that the females who will be in the casino love money, so we gave them a couple of hundred and told them that the yacht was in the harbor if they wanted it and they only need to ask.
We all got out of the cars and headed up the steps to the casino, the dancers however saw some of the passengers from the ship and stopped to talk. Kelly just ushered them inside. When we got inside we began drinking champagne, I said I wasn't going to gamble much this evening, however Elliot was rather looking forward to it. I would, only I get frustrated when I loose. I had a quick game of Roulette while a couple of the dancers watched and I doubled my money, at which point I quit whilst I was ahead. Kelly was getting chatted up by an older looking man in a suit who had a certain look about him, she on the other hand was scanning the room for other potential men, she was looking gorgeous and in a place where she fit in well and she knew she could do better. She introduced him to Lorna, Gemma and Heidi and came over to Elliot and I at the Blackjack table. She was interested in Elliot's opponent. Being slightly tipsy already, the majority of the table was aware of this. She stood with her bare leg visible through the slit in her dress, champagne flute in one hand and clutch in the other staring at him and he glanced at her looked at the table and then looked back, realizing what was staring at him. She said to me "Have you made anyone aware that you're gay yet Kyle?" I replied "Kelly this is hardly the sort of establishment where Elliot and myself can stand groping each other whilst we kiss, you however seem to be advertising the fact that that is one of your desires..." She winked at me and said "I'm not just going to let something like that walk out of here alone now am I... and who would want that for me?" She lent over, kissed Elliot's neck, stared at the man and said, very audibly "Make sure you win" and then turned and walked away... Every man around the table watched as she did so.
Elliot did win that game and a large sum along with it. He then went on to play Craps and I went to see where everyone was. I came across Gabrielle sitting at the Blackjack table while Dean and Reggie stood with her. I asked how she was doing and they said that she'd only just sat down and commented on how little it took her to get drunk. This was a recipe for disaster. She was playing against 2 other men. She sat and winked at them both and then said to the dealer "What is this game called then and what is it that I do?" The game began and I talked her through it and then she blurted out "Well now that I have 20 shall I stop?" I looked at her and because I didn't know what reaction to have I just laughed. I feel sorry for her sometimes. She then said "Oh was I not supposed to say that.." she did a little laugh and then looked around the table and said "good job I've not got 20 really then." She did have 20 and everybody knew that, but she won it somehow anyway... They probably just felt sorry for the blonde who couldn't play. We left the table with €100 more than what we went with so she was happy and then we went over to our shrunken group of friends. It was only midnight a few of them had left already. Gemma had gone with the older looking man who was chatting up Kelly, Kayleigh had left with a 20 year old who was here with his parents. Lorna had left with a male who had been chatting her up all night and Dean and Reggie had taken 2 girls to Elliot's yacht. Left was Danny, Elliot, myself, Ellie, Kelly (who was in the corner whispering things into Elliot's opponents ear whilst his hand rubbed her exposed thigh, nothing out of the ordinary), Gabrielle (who when I looked was stood with a man who was playing Roulette, saying, "Five hundred?! My shoes are more than that!" he looked at her and smiled and then threw another chip in) and Heidi who was sat with 2 women speaking french. Ellie wasn't happy because she'd just lost some money but Elliot was quite the opposite due to his success on the gambling tables and came over and kissed me rather out of the blue. He stopped and said "I am indefinitely going home with someone tonight. I simply will not permit this night to go downhill" and carried on. Once he'd stopped, Kelly walked past hand in hand with her man (who from up close looked rather old) and said "I'm leaving now, be sure to ring me in the morning." I said goodnight and she looked at me with her distorted vision and said "It will be.. I've felt it!"
I went to the bar to buy another drink and a man approached me. He had dark skin and dark hair which was combed over and his suit looked well tailored. He was also wearing a Cartier watch which I owned. I presumed he was going to enquire about whether my friends were available or not however he said, in french english: "I was unaware of your gay orientation, usually I can tell.." I replied in french saying "and are you complaining about the fact that I am a homosexual?" he said "No of course not, I was beginning to think my night couldn't get any better until I saw you and your friend." He was good looking and I hadn't spotted any other potential gays in here. I asked whom he was with and he pointed out another man who he said was gay too. He came over and I introduced him to Elliot... To cut a long story short, Elliot and I went home with those 2 men, to their hotels. Ellie, Heidi, Danny and Gabrielle stayed until after I'd left.
I had an amazing night in Jean-Pierre's hotel suite in the Fairmont where I usually stay during the Grand-prix, Elliot was taken just next door to the casino to the hotel de paris for a much similar night. After some more fun in the morning, I went to the rooftop pool while I made a few phone calls. I spoke to Kelly who had been taken via helicopter to the mans yacht, she still didn't know his name.. She did know that he was 43 however. She didn't care, and nor would I. They're good when they're that age, they've been around the block and learnt a few tricks. She had spoken to Lorna who was in a villa in Monaco with a 47 year old. I then spoke to Dean who was blown away by the girl he had managed to acquire and said that Reggie was too... I phoned Gabrielle, whom was still having sex. I then phoned Ellie who was in the hotel I was in. She came upstairs to meet me in a pair of mens denim shorts and a tank top with a pair of Gucci sunglasses I presumed to be unisex. She said that Gabrielle had been whisked off into a Chauffeured Rolls Royce last night, when she last saw Heidi she was stood with a hunk at a roulette table while he bought her Martini's and Danny had departed with 2 women, I asked how he'd managed that and she said she bought a bottle of Cristal and gave it to him and they came. Danny had apparently said that his home was all the way in Nice and asked the girls where they were staying and went back to their hotel. It was a great success, everyone had gone home with a stranger! It's our influence. I asked Ellie if she was ready to go and I went back to the room when Jean was asleep again, put on my pants and shirt, gathered the rest of my belongings, wrote a note saying: The sex was exceptional... and left. I got into the lobby where Ellie was stood in her dress from last night, an exclaimed "Hurry up... I look bloody ridiculous!" As I got in the car Kelly phoned and said "Do you want a lift, I'm just getting into the helicopter now..." As much as I despise flying, I was hung-over and did not have much longing to be sped around corners by an insane French driver all the way to Villefranche where we'd have to get the tender to the boat. I reluctantly agreed and we got taken to the helipad. We got in and she was sat there grinning away. I asked what she'd been doing and she said "Well I would have left much sooner, only I put my dress back on and ended up having sex again... This thing almost has as much sex appeal as me! Did you leave your numbers?" I said no, as did Ellie and she surprised us to say she had "Well once we've landed on the ship, the helicopter is going to stay there while I go and get changed and things and then I'm getting back on it and meeting him in Monte Carlo where he's going to take me shopping" I asked who she was referring to when she said him and she couldn't answer... There was a man who was about to spend thousands on her and she didn't even know his name haha.
We landed on the ship and everybody stared at us, even though we looked ridiculous in gowns and suits at 11 o'clock in the morning they still oohed at the dresses as we passed. We all went and changed and then I went to meet Ellie by the pool on our reserved beds where Kayleigh was. She told me she had an amazing night and had stayed in the mans apartment despite his family home being just 10 minutes away. She didn't leave her number. My mum phoned me whilst I was sunbathing for the usual pointless phone call. She asked how I was and then asked to speak to Gabrielle, I said "Oh she's asleep in her room, she's a little tired." The truth was, she was still where ever she went last night and having sex with whom ever it was she went home with. My mum replied "Why, what did you do last night?" I told her how we all went to the casino and didn't leave until late when she said "Kyle I hope you have not been subjecting your sister to your bad influence and encouraging one night stands, which you so blithely pursue." I gave the angelic response "Of course not mother, what do you take me for. She's asleep in her room, alone." She believed me, and then she said "She's not done anything stupid has she?" My mother always asks this since Gabrielle stayed in New York a couple of weeks ago. She didn't feel very well so she had a bath and after a short while was bored, so she got out of the bath tub and brought the telly into the bathroom so she could watch it. When she got dressed she unplugged the television to take it back into the living room, she did so and dropped it into the bath water. She then plugged it back in in the lounge and phoned reception wondering why her television wasn't working, they came and looked at it and asked if she'd done anything to it when she casually said "Well I dropped it in the bath but that's all..." Mother and Father got the bill. I assured her she hadn't as of yet and before saying goodbye she said "Oh could you go and check on the apartment your father said" I asked "What apartment?" and she replied "The one in The Regina in Nice where we used to stay, we've had it for years Kyle." I thought we'd sold it but clearly not. I said I would and then said goodbye. I then immediately phoned Gabrielle and told her to go on the way back, she said ok.
I sunbathed all day and recovered from my hangover as everyone returned one by one. Kelly had left in the helicopter by 1 o'clock and Ellie, Kayleigh and I were asleep by half past. I was woken again by the helicopter coming back at half past 5 as was, Elliot, Gabrielle, Kayleigh, Ellie and the rest of the sleeping passengers. She got out of the helicopter alone and came to the pool-side with about 10 bags, knocking people as she passed them. She'd got, a skirt and dress from Prada, some luggage from Louis, bags in Dior, skirts, blouses and bags from Chanel and jewelry from Bulgari. Everybody stared as she took the things out of the bags to show us, I pretended not to notice but they weren't in the slightest way subtle. When she bent down to show Gabrielle some earrings she'd just bought from Bulgari Gabrielle curled up her nose and said said "What have you had for lunch, your breath smells funny" Kelly said "Oh sorry about that, I said thank you to John/James/Alex/Jack, him, in my own special way on the journey home" I was repulsed but Gabrielle didn't seem bothered, she then said "Ahh did you take a little picnic on the helicopter for him?" We all just stared at her as she sat waiting for a reply, Kelly just said "Well I suppose I did have a mouthful yes darling" Gabrielle said "Ahh that's sweet" as Ellie said "Stop!" the images obviously weren't helping her hangover. Kelly went upstairs and we resumed sunbathing. I think the sun is affecting Gabrielle's brain somewhat, she has excelled her self recently.
We didn't do anything that evening apart from watch our friends in the show and then have an early night. Heidi had left with the hunk to his yacht and told him how she worked on the cruise ship. He then took her out and bought her 4 outfits from Chanel, Prada and Dior. She is going to stay in touch. On Wednesday when we got up we went out on the yacht in around Monaco all day with the dancers however they had to go back early to rehearse. They performed Dancing Queen that evening and some of them went to bed with the girls and Elliot and I went together. Thursday was spent in Nice, Friday in Sardinia and then Saturday Sicily. On Saturday evening Gabrielle took the leading role in Chicago which the show team performed and everybody loved her. She is also a talented singer so she was better than the others overall. Today we've been at sea all day as the ship makes it's way back to Naples. We didn't sail until about 11 o'clock this morning so we should be there when we wake up tomorrow. Me and Gabrielle are going to go and see our parents in Beverly Hills before they leave next week to go to Barbados and we head to New York. The dancers have 10 weeks left on their contracts until they have time of so we've said that we'll meet up sometime. The whole ship is having a farewell party this evening so I shall be rather drunk no doubt. I'll speak to you some time next week.
Much love,
Kyle.
