Chapter Nineteen (part one)

"You look—," She covered Marianas ears with both her hands, "Fucking amazing. Now give us a twirl."

I haven't seen what I looked like. I could look like a mess and I still wouldn't know. I obeyed her orders and twirled in a circle.

"Yess girl!" She yelled. "Mari doesn't mummy look pretty."

Mariana cooed and then giggles followed after. I walked over to her, and was starting to grab her out of Melissa's arms until she stopped me.

"We can't let this little troublemaker mess up my hard work with her drool and hyper arms."

I gave her a look, and started stroking Mariana's chubby cheeks. "Aren't you mummy's little girl."

She giggled and began squirming in Melissa's hold, wanting to be carried by me.

I shook my head. "I'm sorry my love, meanie auntie Mel won't let me hold you because of how much of a troublemaker you are."

Her lips start to quiver and her cries followed after. Melissa eyes widen. "Hurry look at yourself before I hand her over to you."

Marianas cries immediately stopped right after what Melissa said, and a toothless smile was soon placed on her face.

I laughed and shook my head.

I went over to the mirror on the wall and looked at myself. I couldn't help but gleam at the dress I was wearing. It was simple but extravagant.

The dress was bright red, and had a long slit that showed of my left leg. Melissa actually did an amazing job with the makeup. It actually looked natural and not caked up. Besides the bright red lipstick.

(her in the red)

"I love it, thanks Mel." I went over and gave her a side hug.

"Now where's my money?" She said with a serious look.

I raised an eyebrow. "I think being one of your friends is enough payment for you."

She laughed, and handed Mariana over to me. "Mari don't mess up your mummy's hair and makeup. I worked really hard."

Mariana ignored her and started tangling her tiny hands into my straight, silky hair. Melissa groaned, and shook her head.

The door bell suddenly rang. I looked over at the digital clock it was only 5:40. I looked over at Melissa. "He's early!"

Her eyes widen. "It might not even be him."

"Check the peep hole!" I whispered.

She nodded and ran towards the door. I peeked my head out the bedroom door and watched Melissa checked the hole.

She turned around and mouthed. "It's him."

I ran up to her with Mariana still in my arms. "Open the door!"

"Right!"

I ran back into the room with a giggling Mariana, who was unaware of why we were running.

I heard Melissa open the door. "Olá Ramos."

"You must be a Barca WAG."

"Marc Bartra's girlfriend to be exact."

I peeked my head out, and Sergio was nodding awkwardly. I eyed the outfit he was wearing, and I couldn't help but stare a little larger. He looked really good in a suit.

Once I got a good look, I popped my head back into the room.

"Let me go get Cassandra." Melissa started walking quite loudly down the hallway, and I was hoping the neighbors below us wasn't hearing this.

Melissa popped into the room and shut the door. "Girl! You scored big. If I wasn't with Marc, I would so jump with Sergio."

I gasped. "Mel! I had no idea you had that in you."

"Just don't tell Marc." She begged.

"Secrets safe with him." I pretended to lock my lips and throw the key away.

"Now go on that date."

She grabbed a pair of nude heels and threw the at my feet. I slipped them on and walked into the living room with Mariana into the door.

Sergio was still standing in the door and a bouquet of red roses were in his hands.

He eyed me up and down. "You look beautiful."

I looked away to avoided him seeing me blush. "Thank you."

In two strides, he was standing right in front of me. With his free hand, he started stroking Mariana's cheeks. "She has gotten bigger since the last time I saw her."

I laughed. "That was yesterday."

He shrugged. "That doesn't matter. I got these for you."

Sergio handed the bouquet over to me. "You didn't have to."

I grabbed the bouquet and went to where the vase's were, and settled the roses into a vase.

"Let me just hand Mariana to Melissa then we can head out."

He smiled and then nodded.

I went over to Melissa and handed Mariana over to her, but not before giving her a peck on her forehead. "Mummy's gonna see you later okay."

"Her milk is in the fridge, and her diaper bag is in her room. I'll be over to get her tomorrow and if there's anything you need —"

"Don't worry. I'm a mum too you know." She interrupted.

"I know, it's just I was with Mariana only for a short few hours and now I'm leaving her again."

"Stop worrying. I'll take good care of her, not go and enjoy you night."

I nodded an grabbed the black clutch and walked out. "We can head out now."

I waved at Mariana before heading out.

Surprisingly the elevator ride to the lobby was quite short and not awkward.

When the elevator door opened, he did something that was unexpected. Sergio grabbed my hand and lead me to his car.

We stopped in front of an Audi R8, which I had expected to be his once I saw it parked in the front of the apartment complex.

He left go of my hand and went to open the passenger door.

"You're such a gentlemen." I teased.

In reply, he shook his head and laughed.

"So, where are we headed." I asked once the car roared to life.

"That is for me to know, and for you to wait and see." He winked.

"I guess I should just sit here and enjoy the ride." I winked back.

This night is going to be interesting.
