My Choice

chapter 56

Vilu's pov

F: Are we really that popular?

Luca: Everytime I go out, people ask me about my sister!

V: And... me?

*None of them wanted to answer... I knew that. People don't like me because they think I want León for myself... even the people in my hometown. The place where I grew up.*

Fm: Of course people like you. I saw your father some days ago and he was surrounded by a bunch of people

*We talked about more things that happened back home. Angie suddenly came up and told us to stand in a row. Oh, I remember, the prince will choose one of us and do the first dance. León passed Ludmila, Gery, Francesca... he looked at me but then asked Lara to dance with him. I couldn't help myself but feel a tiny bit of disappointment. Deep down, I hoped that he'd dance with me. They started dancing and after a while, the other pairs joined them. Also some guards showed up and started dancing with women. All the girls were dancing with their fathers. And I was there alone. León had several chances to ask me for a dance but he never came. Suddenly, Diego showed up*

D: Good evening

V: Hello

D: Can I have one dance with you?

V: Yes

*I gave him my hand and he led me to the center of the dancefloor. Then we started dancing.*

D: Why so sad?

V: No, that's not important

D: Where are your parents, miss Violetta?

V: They didn't come. My mother is sick so my father has to take care of her... mabye that's why I am sad.

D: Don't worry, you will see them one day

*The dance ended and Diego took me back to my old place*

D: Do you want me to stay?

V: No, that's okay. Look, Francesca is free, go and dance with her

D: Alright, thank you for the dance. I don't know who taught you how to dance but you did great

*He patted my shoulder lightly and left. He is so sweet. Someone placed their hands on my shoulders so I turned quickly and looked in two hazel eyes*

V: León

L: You look gorgeous. Enjoying the ball?

V: I thought you're too busy with the others...

L: I had to be with every contestant. Now I can be with you all night

V: Uhm...

*What he just said made me blush like crazy. Where does he learn all these things?*

V: ... what you did for Fran was nice

L: I also invited your father but he didn't come

V: Ah... I think know why. My mum is sick

L: Let's not talk about sad things tonight, Violetta. Can I have a dance?

V: Yeah

*He took my hand and together, we danced, just like a few days ago... I don't know when but everything around disappeared, just because I was lost in his eyes.
