CATALINA

My feet ached, the sweat piercing into my skin as I trudged down the hallway. He's expecting you, is what seemed to made me so nervous. I've heard it all my life. Yet it still made me shiver when I heard the maid call for me. I reached the door, standing ready to face my papa and his scary demeanor. I brought  my hand up to rap the noises against the door.

"Come in Catalina," My papa announced on the other side of the door. I smiled happily, twisting the door knob to reveal my father with his glasses perched on his nose, and his eyes narrowed on the documents laying on his mess of a desk.

I smiled giddily at my papa, I missed the warmth embrace of my papa. He swiped a glance at me, before turning back to his paper.

"Sit," He demanded softly. I nodded, slowly sitting down on the stiff chairs sitting in front of his desk. I smiled at him waiting for him to tell me something. The silence could have been cut with a knife. My train of thoughts were broken as he interrupted.

" Your mama and I have decided things that are best for the company," He said, taking off his glasses, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"What is it papa?" I spoke softly, he sighed before continuing to relieve my rapid thoughts.

I lifted my big round black glasses being pushed down onto my nose. I stared my big brown doe eyes at him. He smiled softly before caressing my cheek softly.
I smiled back at him, I met his hand with mine before waiting for him to continue. The fingertips of his fingers made me feel a warm embrace of family.

"The company needs to merge with another, I have spoken with another family and we have decided to join together. Remember Bambi, it's best for the company," My papa announced. I have no idea why this was so important to me. I leaned my head to the side with a questioning look.

"You will be married to the family's son, he is in line to be the Don," My papa spoke softly as if he was talking to a child. My heart was beating so loudly I'm sure he heard it. I knew we owned some companies, but a Don? I looked down to the hem of my floral sundress. I fumbled with the hem and felt the blurring gaze burning into my eyes.

"Bambi I'm sorry," My papa trembled. My lower lip started to tremble. I felt the watery tears start to burn and needed a desperate release to drop. I bit my lip softly, biting back the tears. I smiled softly before raising myself out of the study and running to my room.

I moved closer to my pillows and Mr. Bear laying on my bed. I hugged the stuffed animal closer to my body.

How could this happen? I'm so happy at home with my mama and papa.

I heard knocks raining down on the door. I tried to open my mouth to release something but nothing came out.

"Lina it's Aless,"A hard voice softly spoke on the other side of the door. My legs brought themselves to my mirror by the door. The girl in the frame. The short height never stopped people from treating me like a child. My hair reached my chest, my breasts came in too quickly. My brothers always scared off the boys that ever glanced at me. I sighed at the sight of myself, and opened the door. I looked up at my brother, he was blessed with a taller height, just like papa.

He held his arms open for me. I instantly jumped into his warm embrace.

"A- Aless papa..Papa says I'm to marry a man," I broke down before even finishing my sentence. Aless held me closer to his body, whispering for me to stop crying.
