THE NEXT DAY
William: how do you feel about your first ride?
I: nervous and agitated, do you have any advice for me?
William: yes, you will be taking your first drive in my car so be careful not to crash into the wall please
I: very reassuring, but why do i have to try with your car?
William: because the guy's test car for non-driving experts broke down
I: hey, i'm not inexperienced, i remind you that i passed the theory exam
William: yes i know, but theory and practice are two completely different things
I: we'll see, when does the instructor have to arrive?
William: in 10 minutes, you'll be practicing around here, you better not go too far because then we have to go to kensington for lunch
I: right, the lunch
Guard: your royal highnesses, the instructor gentleman has arrived to teach miss leonor to drive, will i let him get on?
William: yes please
Instructor: good morning, are you ready to start with the lesson then?
I: i guess so
William: as i was telling leonor, you will test my car, here are the keys
Instructor: thank you
I: wish me good luck
William: good luck even if you don't need it
LATER
AROUND LUNCH TIME
I: it's finally over, keep the keys
William: how did it go? and more importantly how is my car?
I: don't worry, your dear car is fine, it just has a few scratches, the lesson itself went well, i concentrated even if it was difficult since once i turned the car on the guy started screaming and yelled at me telling me he wanted to get out of the car
William: ahahahah
I: there's nothing to laugh about will, i don't want to get into a car with that guy anymore
William: did he at least tell you he'll give you your license?
I: yes, luckily, he said it will take a few months for it to arrive as he has to ask for it at the spanish embassy but he gave me the pink slip for now
William: this means you can drive nearby until you have an actual license
I: are you ready for lunch yet?
William: yes
I: okay, i'll get changed in the meantime, you go and get the car
William: yes ma'am
I: anyone who sees us in these conditions would mistake us for two tramps
William: what do you mean by this?
I: well you look like my grandfather with these glasses, no offense
William: hey, you see these glasses are trendy
I: of course, if we were in the 80s
William: why would you look like a bum? you are always beautiful baby
I: because i didn't have much time to change, i fixed my hair and changed my trousers and shirt, but not my shoes and i didn't wear make-up
William: well by now my family knows you and i think they won't be scandalized if for once you don't wear makeup
I: i hope so, how long until we arrive?
William: you really don't have patience today, we'll be there in 5 minutes
