Gabriela:
Can you help me with something?
Please, pretty please
Ariana:
Tell me, hun
Gabriela:
My aunt is moving in today in that house and I need you to help me around with different things
Ariana:
Already?? Sure, I'll help you with whatever you need
Gabriela:
You're an angel for doing this
Thank you so much
Ariana:
It's the least I can do, honestly
I can't wait to meet her, she seems so sweet from what you told me
Gabriela:
She's the best
She's so happy to meet you too
So, as Gabriela told me about today's plan, I got out of bed and started getting ready. Pedri left earlier today, he had a meeting with his team in the morning before shooting for a new campaign. I had 20 minutes to be done and ready for the long day ahead. I grabbed whatever clothes I saw first and was waiting for her call now. While scrolling on my phone, I felt it buzzing in my hand and read from the notification Gabriela: I'm outside.
"I have to meet with a client first before we're going to shop for groceries." she said as I hopped into her car. "It's right there, don't worry." she continued.
"I'll wait for you, there's no rush coming from me." I told her, buckling up.
"You can come, I'll them you're my assistant. Just hold some files in your hands and smile." Gabriela said with a voice that it was hard to say no to.
"That can be fun, I guess." I simply told her, waiting to get to the location which was only a few blocks away.
"Just so you can understand, I have to organize a party in this empty place that they got, which is crazy, because I can do whatever I have on my mind without considering any furniture or place that might not be fit for my ideas." Gabriela said while guiding me around the building. And she was right; as she was unlocking the door, it was an empty apartment, with a beautiful view of the city through its big windows.
"This is the perfect place for someone like you." I told her as I was taking steps to the windows, which were capturing everything perfectly; I even thought that I might see Pedri's house from here.
"You think so?" I heard a different voice saying, and when I turned around, shocked, I couldn't believe who was standing behind me.
"Evelyn? What are you doing here?" I said, rushing to her arms.
"Showing you one of my new acquisitions, the atelier." Evelyn explained, but I was still confused.
"The atelier? But that was back home." I said, trying to understand what was going on.
"When I heard the unfortunate news that you didn't get the job, I wanted to do something for you, so I started doing my research with my little helpers. I found out at the right time that you want to get into fashion, I had the money to rent and to invest in a place where I could start doing my clothes, but not a single place felt right. France? I hate the language. Italy? Cute, but not enough. Romania? We know how things are there. And I couldn't let you alone, not me." Evelyn said, guiding me around the place.
"But, your parents? Are they okay with this?" I asked, concerned.
"Thanks to yours, everything went well." she explained, trying to convince me that this is for real.
"Have you found a place where to live?" I said, while they both were laughing at me.
"I heard I was called the auntie." Evelyn said, giving Gabriela a look.
"We're gonna live across the street?" I questioned.
"Were you always like that?" Evelyn murmured, being amused by my clueless questions.
"It simply doesn't feel real to me; you being here, me working with you, the fact that you moved here with us, Jesus Christ." I said, as I was getting used to the idea that I won't have anyone else from home, here with me, especially at how fast this happened.
"I wouldn't leave you alone, as long as I had the opportunity to go anywhere I wanted, why not be here with the people I love?" Evelyn said, walking around the room, analyzing the place better.
"Soon, this place will give life to your dreams, and new chapters will be growing from there." Gabriela said, bringing Pedri and Gavi with her.
"Surprise, surprise!" Pedri said, taking steps closer to me, coming for a hug.
"The campaign was all a lie, wasn't it?" I asked him directly, making everyone laugh.
"Well, I needed some help there! So you can blame me if you want, but I think it's not the case now." Gabriela said, defending the guys for covering her.
"One day I'll take my revenge. That's all I'm saying." I told them, trying to keep a straight face, but seeing my dearest people in the same place couldn't make me upset.
