After Martina left, the boys were waking up as it was now 6:00 am, although I have been awake since 4:00 am I spent most of the time looking at pictures of Martiana with the boys and with all of us until I heard somebody call my name, Christmas was now over and so was boxing day new year's eve was just around the corner, where I had to go out get a suit for the Event, Ruggero was supposed to come with me since he has always been by my side at this event, but now I have Diego instead, I mean he's arrogant and knows what he wants, but he's not Ruggero you know where Ruggero was more than my partner he was a best friend my brother.
Where yes, he can be annoying and always makes me laugh, but I loved him and his annoying ways that what made our friendship and the Business partnership worked, I just miss him not calling me and telling me stupid stories about the office or about what he did, I just want him back I want my best friend back.
Ethan: *Runs into the room* Daddy!!!
Jorge: *Catches him in his arms* Hey, where's your brother?
Ethan: He's still asleep.
Jorge: Did you have a good time at the carnival? Did you behave for Uncle Ramallo?
Ethan: Yes, it was so fun although Joshua ran off and got lost, we weren't supposed to tell you... *Puts his hand over his mouth*
I looked at him with so much anger, I told him to go wake his brother up while I went downstairs where I saw Olga and Ramallo talking.
Olga: Oh, Jorge, you are up.
Jorge: Yeah, and what's this I hear that you lost Joshua?
Ramallo looked at Olga then at me.
Ramallo: I'm so sorry...
Jorge: No!!! I told you to keep an eye because you know what Joshua is like he gets hyper; you need to hold on to him.
Ramallo: It was an accident; Ethan wanted a candy floss and I let go of Joshua's hand for one minute just to get money and he ran.
Olga: See, honey it was an accident.
Ramallo: It was really.
Jorge: Don't let it happen again, otherwise there won't be the next time.
Ramallo put his hands up as Olga rubbed his back, the boys ran downstairs to me and I sat on my legs while hugging them, the doorbell rang, I pulled away from the boys as Olga answered it.
There he stood my best friend Ruggero, I was wondering what he was doing here, the boys ran towards him.
Ruggero: Hey, boys.
Jorge: Well, well look who it is? I thought you were done with me.
Olga: Come on boys, breakfast is on the table.
They went with Olga, I put my hands across my chest, waiting for his response.
Ruggero: I came to talk to you about the New year party.
Jorge: Why I'm not your partner anymore.
Ruggero: Will you for once just shut up and listen.
Jorge: Wow, somebody grew some balls.
Ruggero: I heard from Candelaria that you've invited Martina to the party.
Jorge: Yeah, and she's someone special to me so why wouldn't I invite her?
Ruggero: Jorge, you can't take her to that party.
Jorge: Why not?
Ruggero: Because important clients will be at that party listing you as the highest business in the world and if you take you're used to be governess it could bring the company down.
Jorge: Oh, for god sake, Ruggero, I am taking Martina, and do you know what I have come to the point where I just don't care what people think anymore, but I can assure you when I take her to the party, she won't just be a governess, she will be a girl who would be one of us.
Ruggero: *Gets frustrated* But, she isn't one of us Jorge, she is a Governess when are you going to get that in your head, guys like us can't be seen with our babysitters, it ruins the whole company's reputation.
Jorge: Is this why you came here?
Ruggero: No, I came here to try and convince you not to take her, but I guess your mind is made, but I have done my research on Martina, she isn't as innocent as she's made out, her background is bad.
Jorge: What are you trying to say?
Ruggero: Jorge, do you know that when she had that little girl, she sold her body to random guys for money?
Jorge: So, what? We've all done stupid things.
Ruggero: Okay, how about this? *Reads from the papers* She was a stripper when that wasn't enough?
Jorge: Ruggero, you're acting paranoid?
Ruggero: *Throws the papers at him* Look, for you f*cking self, Jorge she isn't a Governess.
Jorge: *Throws the papers back at him* Is this your idea to feed me sh*t on Martina to change my mind on her?
Ruggero: I'm just trying to look out for you that's all.
Jorge: Really, or are you just jealous?
Ruggero: *Looks at him* Jealous? Why would I be jealous when I have Candelaria, Emma back at home.
Jorge: Not because of that, you're jealous because you think if Martina comes to this party with me, she will wow everyone there and she will become my business partner? You think she's going to replace you.
Ruggero: What the f*ck are you talking about? This isn't about replacing me or my job? This is me looking out for my best friend.
Jorge: This doesn't make any sense you walked out on me at Christmas and you resigned your partnership, so why does what I do in my life?
Ruggero: I can't believe this, who are you, Jorge?
Jorge: I am me, this who I am, Ruggero, I haven't changed, I think you have.
Ruggero: Somewhere deep down my best friend is somewhere in there, and if he is then he would tell this girl or governess that she isn't invited.
I looked down while he said it, I think he was right, I couldn't let Ruggero ruin this for Martina especially if he's planning on exposing her.
I picked up my phone and tried to ring her, but it went straight to her voicemail, I left it for a bit, and I rang her again, but it still went to her voicemail.
