*Violettas pov*
"So, you already know each other? That's good! Violetta, talk with your father about the contract, please. I'll let you alone now, because I've other plans. See you two next week." Says Marotti in a hurry and let's a confused Felipe standing beside me.
"Would you mind, if I take a seat too?" Felipe asks polite.
"No, of course not. So, you're working for YouMix?"
"Yeah, I work for them for 2 years now. I came to them, because of my school in Spain. You know, there's some kind of a music school and we made an exercise for the company. I won, so I got a contract and had some concerts in Europe. I released an album last year and so on. Last week they came with the idea to produce another album for my fans..." Felipe tells me.
"And? What's so wrong with that?"
"Well, I had to leave my home immediately. My family, my friends. That's why I was so busy, when we met on the street." He starts to smile a little.
"Yeah, you were. And sorry for my boyfriend, he can be really protective sometimes...and he used to overreact in his past, at least he told me so, so I think that's the reason, why he's like this every now and then."
"It's not a big deal, it's alright. I'd probably react the same." He explains.
"I don't want to seem impolite, but why do we have to play a couple?" I answer shy. This sounds so bad, like I don't like him or something.
"I don't really know, but they told me, that they could push My career a bit, so they'd earn more money. I agreed to it, because then I'd sell more CDs and I'd earn more money too. Yesterday they finally told me their fabulous plan. I need to fake date someone for the press, who's also at YouMix, because otherwise it wouldn't be good marketing. And you're more interesting for the press or for your fans, when you're in a relationship, because then they're totally freaking out about some news or new fans are going to look for ridiculous stories or details about the relationship."
"Makes sense. But why would they want to push my career? I haven't even signed the contract. And I've a boyfriend." I take a sip from my coffee, which I bought a few minutes ago by a young service woman.
"They see your talent, Violetta. And if your boyfriend isn't famous, then it wouldn't worth it. Fans would just go with it." Felipe leans back in his chair, scratching his neck.
"Hm..." I don't have anything else to say about that topic. I'll talk with Diego and hope, that he can help and understand me.
"So, tell me something about you. If we have to 'date' in the future, I need to know you. But please, let's go for a walk, those chairs are not comfortable at all." He says cheeky and stands up, while I lay the money for the coffee on the table. We're walking through the park and just talk about our lifes. Felipe tells me, that he has seen me on YouMix before, because of last year's talent show. Also he tells me something about his hobbys and other interests beside singing or playing instruments. His younger sister, Anabel, is only 6 years old and doesn't know that they won't see each other for a while. His mother thought, that it'd be better, if she doesn't know it.
"Enough from me, what about you?" I think a while before answering.
"Well, there's nothing special about me. My mother died when I was younger and my dad didn't want me to sing until I was 15. Then I discovered the On Beat Studio and everything changed. I asked my dad, if I can audition and he said yes! He's married with my aunt, Angie, now and I like them together. I've made really good friends in the Studio, for example Francesca, Camila, Maxi, Marco, León..." I stop for a while. "Well, he isn't in Buenos Aires anymore, but he'll come back soon. We used to be in a relationship, but we broke up when Diego entered the Studio. Everything has changed with him. He makes me feel like another human. I enjoy every little moment with him and I think, that he's the right one for me. He surprised me with a vacation in Barcelona, that's why we were there. It was really nice and it just felt so right to spend time with him."
"Wow, you really seem to love him. Your eyes lit up immediately, when you said something about him. That's true love. And I hope for you, that he feels the same and that he'll understand the thing with the contract."
"Yeah, I hope so, too."
"Violetta, I'm really sorry, but I think, that I've to go now. Here's my number, just write me." He says and hands me a piece of paper, after he wrote it. "See you." He hugs me and leaves. I can manage to say a quick Bye, before he disappears in a crowd of people.
"Who was that? Really Violetta, another boy? Is your life only about boys?" Federico stands behind me, smiling a bit.
"Well no it isn't. And yes, another boy. A Friend. We're going to work together in the future, so Marotti introduced him an hour ago. What are you doing here alone? Don't you have a girlfriend to talk with?" I ask laughing. I really like to tease him.
"Can we please change the topic?"
"Why? What happened?"
"We are having a relationship time-out for some time. We thought, that it'd be the best." He explains short. His impression is so sad, so I just go over to him and hug him tight.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know..Now I'm feeling like an idiot."
"You don't need to feel bad. Why should you? It's just a break and I'm living my life like before. I'm still the happy Federico like always." He laughs. I don't know how he can manage that always.
"May I know the reason for the break?" I ask slowly. Shit, I shouldn't have asked that!
"Well we have barely seen each other the past weeks and she didn't have time. I met with Marco and Maxi one time and she was jealous, because I didn't want to met her. We discussed over our relationship and decided that it'd be the best. But it's okay."
"I know, that you'll work that out. Shall we go home now?" I look at my phone to check the time and see that I've some messages from Diego. I call him fast and explain myself.
"Before I'm going to forget it again, Violetta. Francesca called after you left today and asked if you want to meet her today."
"Okay, thank you. I'll call her back, when we're home." I say, and we make our way home.
