Against All Odds (spin-off of The Three Queen Bees and Me)

Chapter 64- Royal Pain

        "I already told you no." I scold at Sophia who keeps sending her maids after dresses for my suppose wedding.
   
   "Por qué eres tan indeciso?" Sophia asks sighing at me.

   "I told you already to speak English to me. Ironically one of the foreign languages I haven't learn is indeed spanish.

    "Don't you think you should learn your future wife's native language?" Sophia asks coming up behind me brushing my crimson hair to the side.

   "I would if I was going through with this sham of a marriage." I tell her slapping her hand away from my hair.

  Looking out of the palace like window I frown wondering exactly why I agreed to go to Spain in the first place.

   Oh that's right Axial cheated on me and I wanted as far away from her as I could possible get.

  Half way across the world is a terrific start or so I thought. Like a bad itch that won't go away it seems Axial creeps in my mind some way.

    Now I am high annoyed as I dismiss myself from my lovely fiancé.

  "Don't forget about dinner." Sophia shouts at my retreating figure through the palace halls.

    "Ms. Fields, how was dress shopping?" Fred who is the Vasquez family butler who happens to be supervising me.

    "Can you point me to the direction of the alcohol?" I ask Fred taken him aback by my sudden request.

   "Miss I really don't think that's a good idea." Fred tries to reason with me causing me to roll my eyes at him.

   This place is like a damn mansion but I am sure enough if I walk long enough I will run into the kitchen.

    I only been here a week and I am still trying to familiarize myself with the lay out. My father texts me all the time to see how I am settling in at my new house.

   He misunderstands that I am just on a vacation that I am not marrying Sophia. Let alone moving to Spain.

   No matter how many times I try to rationalize with the old man it back fires on me.

  Eventually I manage to find the kitchen and loose Fred while I'm at it. I open up the huge steel fridge only to be met with disappointment.

   "My dear you are not going to find what you are looking for there." Rosa Vasquez who is Sophia's mom states from the kitchen chair.

    She beckons me to follow her revealing a whole ass bar.

   "What are you wanting?" She asks taking me by surprise. Her golden eyes patiently waiting on me to make my choice.

    I could see where Sophia got her looks from her mother is like a living goddess with her bright blonde hair and honey colored eyes. No wonder she is in the fashioning industry.

   "Are you okay?" Rosa asks approaching me feeling my forehead. I become red with embarrassment for checking her out.

  "Can I have some wine?" I squeak out like an alcoholic virgin. This makes Rosa burst out laughing.

  "Who knew my daughter liked them shy." Rosa teases me bringing two glasses over to me.

   She pours us some grape wine and instantly take it letting it pour down my throat.

   "Won't you get in trouble for supplying me with alcohol?" I ask her causing her to playfully roll her eyes at me.

   "Fiona, you are basically an adult about to turn eighteen. Here in Spain the drinking age is eighteen." Rosa explains to me making me feel more calm drinking with her.
