VALENTINA

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN.

All that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing.

*Taylor swift.

VALENTINA.

"So remember how I told you that your father went to freshwood,right?,"Bree inquires.

"Yah,"I reply leaning forward.

"Well I did some deeper research and almost all the pictures I found of him,they were two people present in all of them,and after using the information from the flash disc,I did more research and I found out that those people are Graham Cambridge and Stefan Ferera,,"she pauses and then proceeds to show me the picture of them with my father.

"Unfortunately Mr Graham is late according to the articles I found about him,he allegedly died during a mission,five years ago,that leaves only Stefan Ferera,he owns many businesses around the city and he's a graduate of freshwood,on top of that he also owns one of the biggest recruiting agencies in the state,"Bree adds.

"How is that going to help me,"I ask.

"Well,Mr Stefan happens to be throwing a party next weekend in honor of the agency's 10th anniversary,and he will reportedly be there in the flesh,and if there anyone who can tell you more about your father it's him,"she says.

"I have questions,"I say dramatically

"Go ahead ask,"Bree challenges me.

"Firstly how are we going to get into an elite party without being noticed,?"I ask.

"Well,I haven't yet figured that out but I'm working on it,next question,"Bree says.

"Okay suppose we do manage to get in,how are we going to get him to talk,I mean clearly he just won't talk to strangers,"I say.

"That's easy,Mr Stefan seventh marriage ended last week,"she says and I'm confused.

"How is that going to help us,"I ask.

"Well one thing is for sure women are his weakness ,and looking at his list of ex wives he definitely has a type which you my dear friend easily fit into ,"she says I almost choke on non existent saliva.

"You want me to marry him,"I ask Bree.

"No,not marry him,just flirting with him,try to get him drunk and then after wards we can extract the truth from him,"Bree says and I stare at her.

"This sounds like a risky plan,"I admit.

"It is risky but you won't be alone,Mal we'll help out and I'm sure the boys would love to help out as well,"Bree says offering me a smile.

"But what if someone gets hurt,"I ask.

"No one will get hurt, we'll rehearse the plan very well,and I'll personally make sure nothing goes wrong,"Bree assures me,"look at the end of the day it's your life and if you don't want to go ahead with this plan it's alright,I'll support you regardless,"she adds and I smile at her.

I want to do this,I want to learn more about my father and my non existent mother but this plan sounds too risky,I just need time.

"I'll think about it,"I say to Bree as closes her PC.

My phone buzzes and I see a text from Theo which causes me to smile.

"Who got you smiling like that,is it Theo,?"Bree suggests takes my phone from me.

"Bree...,"I whine trying to take it back.

"I'm missing you so much already,"Bree reads out loud and i blush.

"You've barely been apart for hours,"Bree comments and before I know it she calls up Theo.

"Hey Theo,"she says immediately he picks up and puts the phone on loud speaker.

"Bree?why do you have Val's phone,is she alright,"he asks.

"Relax,your girlfriend is fine,I just wanted you to know that your sneaky texts are interrupting our girl time,...".

"Bree!"I shriek trying to get the phone away from her.

"Bree, respectfully can I talk to my girlfriend,"Theo asks.

"No,"Bree says ,"you had her the whole night and part of this morning,she's mine now,"Bree says and I roll my eyes.

"You do realize I'm not an object right,"I say to Bree but she blantantly ignores me.

"Look Bree if you let me talk to Val,I'll do a months worth of reports when we are back at school,"Theo negotiates.
Bree keeps quiet for a minute before speaking up.

"Deal,I have to go order dessert anyway,"she says grinning before giving me my phone and walking away.

"Hey,"I say putting the phone to my ear.

"Hi,uhm is Bree still around,"he inquires and I laugh.

"No,she left to go order dessert,"I say.

"That's good,I ...I uhm was wondering if you're free this afternoon...,"he says.

"I think so why,"I ask with a small smile.

"I have something planned for us,it's kind of a surprise,"he says and I get excited.

"Really,I like surprises,"I say giggling.

"Then you'll definitely like this one,so I'll pick up you up from your house at 5 ,"he says

"Sounds great,"I reply.

"Oh and wear something nice,of course you always look good but you Know what I mean"he mumbles.

"Ill definitely try to wear something nice,"I say laughing.

"So I'll talk to you later,if I spend any more time talking to you,Bree is going to kill me,"he says laughing.

"Bye Theo,"

"Bye Val,"he says ending the call.

"A date huh?"Bree says from behind me causing me to jump a little.

"You scared me,"I scold her but she smiles.

"Sorry,I didn't want to interrupt your conversation,"she says putting the box of donuts on the table.

"Where you listening the whole time,"I ask.

"Don't be ridiculous of course not,only the part where he asked you out on a date,"she says giving me her most innocent look.
She was definitely listening.

"Anyway,since you already know everything ,you might as well help me get ready,"I tell her and her face beams with joy.

"Yay,I'll check up on Mal, she'll definitely want to help if she's feeling better,"Bree says removing her phone from her pocket.

"I just texted her,I'll let you know what she says,"she says putting her phone on the table.

"Desert,"she offers gesturing to her donuts.

"Why not,"I say and we dig in.

Heyyyy

Stay happy.
