"Conejita! Time to get up I have a busy day for you!" I heard Papa yell from the bottom of the steps. I slide my duvet further above my head and hoped that he would give up and move on with the more important things I know he had planned. Yeah right, Papa could be a lot of things but persistence was his special talent. As I was trapped in my thoughts my duvet suddenly was snatched off of me and my eyes stung as the sunlight hit my eyes.

"PAPA WHY!" I yelled rubbing my eyes trying to get adjusted to the light. Once I could properly see I looked over at him to see him standing with his arms crossed over his broad chest while he rolled his eyes at my whining.

"Mija I have a lot on my plate today, which majority of it includes you so either I can give you the rundown now or after you've gotten ready." Once he was done I was next to roll my eyes and slid to the edge of my bed and motioned him to continue talking with my hand. "Okay, before I get into the agenda let me make myself very clear, you are NOT to leave Ramon's side for anything. Do not wander off and go on your little adventures today, I cannot handle a heart attack today I am already stressed." He smiled slightly letting me know he wasn't completely scolding me about my occasional escapades.

"Okay, but in my defense, Ramon isn't much of a bodyguard if I can slip away from him so easily when he takes every chance to flirt with the first blonde that bats her lashes his way. Plus Papa you are aware I can take care of me? You made sure of that." Papa had me in self-defense classes from the age of six and I learned how to shoot my first gun at nine. By the time I was fifteen I was more capable of protecting myself than any guard Papa could try to assign to me, but that didn't stop him from doing so anyway.

"I am aware and I love that you can defend yourself every woman should know-how with the business that we are in, but regardless you always need extra eyes with you mi amor remember that. However, I will still be sending Ramon with you and he has already been told what will happen to him if he loses you once again, now as far as your agenda goes." I groan as I am already sensing that today will be nothing but the endless filing of paperwork for him and keeping my brothers out of trouble as I am always their babysitter.

"I will be sending you and Aurora to go dress shopping for a ball we will be attending tomorrow, as well as getting your nails done. You refuse to let anyone else touch your hair so therefore I suspect I can trust you to handle that portion yourself?" He raised an eyebrow at me and I nodded my head excitedly in response. "Perfecto, Aurora will be joining us for dinner as well as you both will be having dates to this ball as well." Once he finished it took me a minute to process because he never has dinner with us he's always too busy and why did we both have dates to this ball. Was there some sort of special occasion that I didn't know about? No, there couldn't be I know everything that goes on around here.

"Conejita, you're processing too long." I snapped back to reality not realizing that I completely blanked out. "What's this ball for and why do Aurora and I require dates?"

"I will answer that later at dinner once we are all together, now please get ready and do not take all day Mija you will be leaving promptly and 11:30. You'll arrive back here around 4 pm and you girls will need to be ready for dinner by 6 pm", he started towards the door to exit my room when I opened my mouth to ask a question, but before I could he already responded. "And yes Rora is aware of today's agenda as well. Her father and I have already spoken and he has probably given her the same talk I did you." He smiled at me one last time before exiting my room leaving me to prepare myself for the day.

I pick up my phone and see the time has 10:01 am, okay I can make it on time I know how Papa is on punctuality, and by the expression on his face I can tell he truly is stressed today whatever this ball is must have him on one today. I make my way to my bathroom and turn on the shower extra hot how I like it, the hotter the shower the better you know I'm right. I walk over to my sink and grab my scrunchy and tie my hair up so it won't get wet I don't have enough time this morning for a full hair routine, I can do that tomorrow for the ball. I undress and step into the shower, feeling the hot water on my skin instantly melting away my stress.
