Hello Darling: Book 1 (Completed)

Sagittarius(1)

Now, it's time for Sagittarius. This is going to be a fun one!

Curious and energetic, Sagittarius are the travelers of the zodiac. Their open mind and philosophical views motivate them to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life. Sagittarius is an extrovert, always optimistic, full of enthusiasm, and ready for changes. Clear about their intentions and honest by a moral imperative, its representatives are often honest to the point of absurd, with no regard for tact and emotions of other people whatsoever. They need to learn how to express their opinions in a tolerant and socially acceptable way.

So, it's only fitting that their Greek God is Dionysus. Dionysus, the god of revelry and adventure, mirrors Sagittarius' boundless enthusiasm and love for exploration. Both possess an insatiable curiosity and a penchant for seeking out new experiences and perspectives. Because they are so free and in love with freedom, their supernatural ability would be flight.

Francisco's POV

"Baby boy! I miss you! When are you coming back to visit us?"

"Mom, I still have some things I need to take care of here at the dispensary and then I have another site meeting in Rome. I might not make it back for another 2 weeks," I tell my disappointed mother.

"Oh, I know you are out there making the world's best wine. But that doesn't mean I don't miss you."

"I know, mom. I miss you too. I promise I'll be home for Christmas," I promise her.

"I know you will because if not, I will drag you back home if I have to." Holidays are something that can't be missed in my family, especially Christmas.

"Do you want me to bring my special red wine? It's a big hit for the holidays."

"You know I do. Oh, so when am I going to hear that you have a girlfriend?" I roll my eyes at her question.

"Mom, I don't have time to find someone who will be okay with my hectic work schedule."

"Well, you don't have to because I already did!" 

"Moooom," I groan.

"What? Come on, you have been single way too long. And I want my baby to have a girl who will take extra good care of him. Now, do not fight me on this. She's such a free spirit, just like you. She's spunky, fun, and so down to earth. I invited her to Christmas dinner and I want you to get to know her. She's going to be in Argentina so you can meet up with her." I had to refrain from rolling my eyes.

"Mom, I don't have the time. I have a new batch of wine to try before it hits the markets."

"Then, take her with you. You can do a wine-tasting date. That'd be super cute."

"Mom..."

"Francisco Armani Freeman, I do not want to hear another word. You will either give this girl a chance or you don't come home for the holidays. And I'll make sure you can't go to friends or other family."

"Fine. I'll give her a chance."

"Wonderful. She's at the airport so make sure to pick her up. Love you!" She hung up before I could even say anything. Damn it, mother. I sighed heavily and rubbed my eyes. Well, might as well make the most of this. Besides, I am curious about the kind of woman my mother would think is good for me.

***

Mom texted me that her flight would be coming at 2:00 pm so I made sure I was at the airport by 1:00 pm. I sat by her gate and answered emails and phone calls while I waited. Mom gave me a brief description of who I was looking for as well. By the time 2:25 pm rolled around, I saw people exiting the gate and that's when I saw her. She was eclectic, to say the least. She had split-dyed hair with one side being blue and the other side pink, she was wearing a baby blue sundress with white lace-up sandals, and pink sunglasses, and her whole aura screamed fun, flirty, and thriving.
