A Forbidden Love

the 28th of June, 2017

Today seems to be a cool sunny day. I get up from my bed and go take a shower. After that, I change into a pink top and some jean shorts. I go to eat breakfast and chat with my mom a bit, before I go back in my room and continue writing my book. I've always dreamt of publishing my own book and I hope that one day I will be as successful as other authors. After a few minutes, I hear my phone ringing on my bed, so I go to pick it up and see who is calling me. It was my dad. I answer the call and ask him what he needs. When he told me what he wants me to do, I was a bit unsure if I should go to dinner with him and his other work colleagues. He told me it was important, but I still didn't know if I should go. In that moment, my mom entered in my room and asked me who I was on the phone with,
and I told my dad to wait a little on the phone. I told my mom what dad wanted me to do and she told me to give her my phone to speak with him, so I did.

Francesca (mom) : Hello Andres. I heard you want our daughter to come to a dinner with your colleagues?

Andres (dad) : Hello Francesca. Yes, you heard that right. It is very important for the company, if they will see me and my daughter together there, they will see me better and I may be promoted in the future if they see me as a good father.

Francesca : I will let her go only if you send some more money. Like at least 500 euros.

Andres : Fine, I will send it now, but I have to see Alma tonight. I'll send her the address of the restaurant.

Francesca : Ok. Goodbye then.

After they finished their talk, my mom told me that I should prepare for tonight because I am going to meet with my dad. I was not really feeling to go out somewhere like a restaurant or wherever. I just wanted to stay home and write my book. But since my mom told me so, I will go tonight. Not so long after, I receive a text message on my phone. My dad sent me the address of the restaurant where we will meet. It would have been better if he just picked me up instead of already meeting there, but I guess he has other plans, such as only driving his new girlfriend.

7pm.

It is already 7pm and I need to get ready to leave the house. I am already dressed, I put on some makeup to look better and now I only need to put on my heels and take my bag. I order an uber and leave the house. I text my mom that I am ready to go as I am waiting for my uber to arrive, just so she knows that I am going there and not anywhere else. After a few minutes of waiting, I get in the car and wait to arrive at the restaurant. In the meanwhile, I also texted my dad that I am on the way there and that he should wait me outside.
