Madrid English Version

Chapter 12

- ¿Me presentas? *

- Lando, this is Alba, my best friend. Alba, this is Lando.

- Pleased to meet you Miss. He said shaking the hand of the Italian while making a kind of curtsy.

- Mister is gallant I see.

- Always with the pretty girls.

- ¡Es un buen ligón! ** Confided she to her friend in Spanish not to be understood.

- Oh no, another Spanish girl! They are everywhere! Complained the Englishman under the two black looks of the young women being in front of him.

- Lando, you are in Spain, obviously that there are Spaniards in every corner of streets.

- I am not Spanish, added the blonde, as if she was offended to be compared to Hispanics although she considered herself so.

- She is what? Lando asked, hiding his mouth with his hand so that only Aria could see and hear him.

- I'm Italian, said the blonde, crossing her hands over her chest, quickly joined by the Englishman who did the same. A challenge of the look settled between the two, in front of Aria who did not hesitate to take a picture of them, which was noticed by her friend.

- È meglio cancellare subito quella foto se si vuole rimanere vivi! ***

- I didn't understand what she said, but you have to delete this Ari.

- I'll delete it when we get inside. Said the engineer to save time and not have to delete this photo, although she can recover it, even deleted.

- Aria, Camila Gabriela María Teresa Felicia Sabrina Torani Laguardia-Montalván Bergantiños-Guevara de Medinaceli Abravanel Escobar Calderón de Bracamonte Galiani Rinaldi, cancella subito questa foto davanti a me o giuro che stanotte nel sonno verrò a strapparti gli occhi e mi farò degli orecchini. E poi ti taglierò tutte le dita per far credere ai bambini che siano vere ad Halloween! (Delete this picture right now in front of me or I swear that tonight in your sleep I'll come and tear out your eyes and make me earrings. And then I'm going to cut off each of your fingers to make the kids think they're real during Halloween!), threatened the Italian speaking in her native language to make the Spanish understand that she wasn't joking, she worked like this, the Italian only appeared when she wanted to make it clear that she was serious. During these threats, Alba was chasing Aria in her apartment under the eyes of a Lando stunned by the scene.

- How is it possible to have so many first and last names? asked the pilot once the chase was over, and a photo removed.

- She comes from a super conservative Spanish family, answered the Italian.

- And then? That's no reason to have so many! And why have so many?

- On my father's side it's like a tradition to have so many names, but I usually only have my father's name, but on all my identity papers there are my father's, my mother's, my grandparents' and my great-grandparents' names.

- And you manage to remember everything? And how do you know them all Alba?

- Every time my father yelled at me, which is often, he called me all my names, and Alba knows them because we've known each other for almost twenty years, and she loves to say all my names to annoy me.

- At least if you have to change your last name, you pick one at random from all the ones you have. But add Norris, it's still stylish.

- And Moretti, too, added the blonde.
