Chapter 7 - Changing

-Hello, Ms. Benedict.

-Hello, Samantha. I was wondering if you could come earlier for the meeting.

-Sure. When do you want me to get there?

-As soon as you can. Are you nearby?

-I think I can be there in about forty-five minutes. Is that convenient?

-It's great. I'll be waiting for you, darling.

-Then, I'll see you there, Ms. Benedict.

-Sure. I hope to be very impressed.

I hung up the phone, and everyone is staring at me.

-Who was that? - Kelly is confused.

-Work.- Kelly doesn't know about the book - Well, I really have to go. I'm so sorry.

I hugg Nando and he whispers on my ear.

-Is that because of the book?

-Yes. In fact, I have a copy for you in my bag. Can I change clothes here and leave the book somewhere?

-Sure, I'll take you to my room.

His room is huge, and really beautiful. He kisses me and holds me tight.

-Good luck, mí amor. You're doing great.

-I hope so. - I kiss him again and he leaves the room. I change my outfit to a pair of black pants and a green top my parents bought me. I am also wearing a pair of black pumps and a leather jacket I loved. I go downstairs again and say goodbye to everyone. - if I hurry, I might come back.

-Okay. Maybe we could all have dinner together. - says Nando with a smile

-I can't... Don't forget I'm grounded.

-Oh... okay, maybe next time. I love you!

-I love you too - I hug Kelly and Sergio and then I kiss Nando.

I get to Ms. Benedict office on time, and immediately am led to a big cabinet.

-Hello, darling. I'm sorry for having you called earlier than scheduled, but I had to.

-That's fine, I was available - I say, with a wide smile.

-Would you like to talk with me about your book? Present it to me, please.

-My book is called Lovebug. It tells the story of a couple: Sally, a British girl who has a passion for football, and Jacob, who is the perfect man for her. They meet and she falls in love with him, but thinks he'll never feel the same, as he's out of her league. However, he also falls in love with Sally at first sight. I have here two copies for you: one in paper and a digital one. So, I rather not spoil you. - I hand her both copies and she smiles at me.

-Thank you so much. I'll read it, and I'll call you in a week or so.

-Thank you so much, Mrs. Benedict. I really hope you're pleased by the book.

-I also do. I like your personality. Now, you're free to go.

-Already? - I was a bit shocked, I was waiting for the meeting to be way longer.

-Yes, these meetings are usually fast. But if we're really getting Lovebug published, I suggest you get ready for long meetings.

-Let's hope for that!

We say goodbye and I go away. When I get to my car, I call Nando.

-Amor?

-Yes. I just left the meeting. Do you want to meet me somewhere?
