Chapter 6

Here is a TW in this chapter that will be marked, for those who want to skip that part.

- Hello Aria, is this Lando?

- Lando? How did you get my number?

- I wanted to call you, or send you a message to thank you for putting me up, but no one had your number, so I sent Carlos to ask the sitter for your number, and that's how I got it!

- Thank you Lando, that's very nice of you, she said, sniffling slightly.

- Are you crying? He asked concerned.

- No, it's nothing, don't worry.

- Aria? Tell me the truth. It is not me who will judge you, you saw me drunk.

- It's just a little stress before my meeting.

- I don't believe you.

- Lando, I gotta go.

- Until you tell me, I'll keep calling you.

- You're a pain in the ass, you know that?

- I love you too, Aria. Come on, spill it.

- I got into a fight with my dad.

- What do you mean, you got into a fight?

- You know when you ran into me last night, when you were coming home and I was going out? Well, actually I was on my way to a meeting that my father had set up with one of his employees, because he wants me to find someone and marry him. And I didn't want to go, so I played the provocation card, something he hates, which explained my outfit. The guy I had dinner with told my dad about the evening, where my best friend, Alba, called to pretend that she had an emergency and that it was necessary for me to join her, so I left in the middle of the so-called dinner. And then he called me before my meeting, to tell me that it was indecent what I had done, and that if I didn't find someone by December, I was no longer welcome in the family. And he made it clear that if that happened, I would have to change my last name, because he couldn't bear having such a burden as a daughter. Well, he said the part about the last name implicitly.

- What a jerk! These two words managed to provoke a laugh from the young woman, who was in dire need of it at the moment. If you need to change your last name, you can take Norris if you want, I always wanted a big sister, I have two little ones, but I always wanted a bigger one.

- Are you the oldest?

- No, I have an older brother, Oliver, and two younger sisters, Flo and Cisca. What about you?

- I have two little sisters, Camilla and Mia and a little brother, Rafael.

- What is it like to be the oldest?

- It depends. Sometimes it's cool, but most of the time it's annoying. You get all the comments from your parents, while they're much nicer to the others.

The British man managed to relax and reassure the Spanish girl during their discussion, which they tried to delay as much as possible, but which had to be interrupted because of the dreaded meeting. Six hours later, the brunette was finally free for the evening. For the first time in her life, Aria decided not to spend her evening reworking what was already perfect, but rather to have fun. She would go to a nightclub, for the second time in her life. The first time was right after her graduation in her senior year.

Before going, the brunette returned to her hotel to get ready. She showered, did her hair, put on make-up and wore a white shirt tucked into a sequined skirt that was still in her suitcase. One never knows. She obviously did not forget to eat a packet of cakes, lying in her handbag, for some time, not to drink being sober.
