So after leaving the Swan household both Phoibe and Gianna headed into town to enjoy a breakfast together before Gianna's last shift of the week and their fun filled weekend starting with a meal in Phoibe's favourite restaurant. Whilst Gianna was in work , Phoibe would be spending her time doing what she loved shopping. Phoibe also like to sit back and enjoy the St Marcus day festival. She found it extremely ironic that it fell on her birthday , it just made her appreciate it all the more. The two best friends were sat in a quaint little café that had been run by the same family for many generations. Phoibe ordered a vanilla buttercream cake and a coffee for her breakfast where as Gianna ordered a slim tea and pancakes. Upon hearing Phoibe's order Gianna looked at her disapprovingly . " Seriously P cake for breakfast what are you 6?" Gianna laughed teasingly shrugging ." Oh this coming from the 4 year old for your information as you well know I am 23 today and as it is my birthday if I want to order cake I will and none of your sarcastic comments will tell me otherwise , you eat your boring pancakes and old lady tea" Phoibe retorted sticking her tongue out resulting in both girls in a fit of hysterical laughter. Gianna glanced at her phone and sighed "Right so my shift starts in half an hour . The private tours are running today so I will get off around 6 ish no doubt . I have my change of clothes with me so we can meet right from my work and head of straight to the restaurant is that good with you?" Gianna queried. "That works fine gi stop fretting , ill go shop watch the festival , go home pack my bag and get changed and meet you outside the castle with plenty of time to spare so go before your late and blame me "Phoibe joked giving Gianna a shove in the direction of the volterra castle . Both girls waved their goodbyes and went separate ways.
Phoibe headed into a Victoria's Secret shop first and spent a good hour browsing and selecting new underwear . She then proceeded on through every shop she could find . Before she knew it , it had become lunchtime and Phoibe was feeling parched . On the way to the nearest sandwich shop Phoibe passed a shop that had a beautiful bodycon dress in the window . Giving in to the temptation in went Phoibe for the dress . Trying it on she couldn't help the smile creep onto her face think with the right underwear and shoes she'd feel even better and knowing that she had already purchased both of those things ,she gleefully picked up her bags with the dress and went ahead to buy her little red dress. After finishing her chicken club sandwich and her Pepsi , deciding that know would be a good place to go and watch the festival . Phoibe sat on vacant bench just opposite a water fountain , it was a quiet enough place that she was still able to see everything and also to leave without having to push through too many people so initially it was perfect. Phoibe didnt notice time slipping away from her until she laid her eyes upon the sun setting in . Rising from her seat with a stretch , Phoibe headed on home where she noticed her parents car still in the driveway .
Entering her home Phoibe placed her bags on the floor and walked into her living room where her father was awake silently watching the tv and her mother asleep on the sofa." Dad your still here I thought you were heading out this morning ?"Phoibe asked confused . " We were love but your poor mom got one of her headaches and so we decided it best to go when she's better but dont worry you still go with Gianna as normal , you can tell me all about it when all your plans are through"reassured her father . Phoibe leant down and kissed her mums forehead before kissing her father and running to take her bags up to get ready , after all she only had about an hour to get ready. Once she had showered , done her make up and straightened her hair. Phoibe decided to text Gianna.
To: Gianna
I'm just about to get my dress and shoes on and I shall be leaving
see you soon love you xox
Phoibe slid on her new favourite dress and new jimmy choos, grabbing her overnight bag and her purse she left . On Phoibe's travel to the castle Gianna phoned and said she was running a little late and for Phoibe to go through the doors and into the reception .
