I'll Never Forget

Chapter 3

♡ Arianna’s POV. ♡

When I woke up, it was already dark outside. I was really confused about where I was but when I noticed the Meditarean Sea in front of me, everything took place in my head. The flight, the rich aunt, the orange mansion, marbella, the backyard and finally the swing chairs.

I step up from the chairs I was sleeping in and stretched myself.

After that I took out my cellphone to check the time and remembered I had to eat dinner this evening with my marvelous aunt (please note the sarcasm). It was almost ten o’clock.

‘’shit’’ I cursed.

‘’She’ll definitely going to kill me…’’ After saying that to nobody in particular I started running toward the main dining room that I saw on my exploration tour earlier.

The table was full of food and my aunt was sitting in the chair at the end of it.

She laid her eyes on me the second I entered the room making me shift uncomfortably.

‘’umh I got lost and fell asleep..?’’ Is the only thing I could manage to say.

‘’It’s okay, I just arrived myself and tough you were the one waiting for me.’’

I let out a relieved breath and sat at the other extremity of the table.

‘’So, I don’t want to seem like a party crusher, but we have some rules in this house.’’

She started. I wondered why she said ‘’we’’ instead of I, but didn’t have time to ask because she continued.

‘’You can start to eat you know?’’ I noded and she went on with her speech.

‘’Firstly, you can do whatever you want that doesn’t involve complications. By complications I mean with the police or with yourself. For example; dealing drugs, doing drugs, robbing a house, ect.’’

I spat out the food that I was chewing and looked at her stunned.

‘’Don’t look at me like that! It was just some examples, I don’t really think you’re going to do that!’’

She then forced a laugh and I just smiled awkwardly at her.

‘’Let’s continue, in second place, no boys sleeping here when I’m not home and I’m sorry to inform you that I’m going to be absent for more than half of the summer. That’s it for the rules! Do you have any questions?’’

‘’Yes, um, how can I go in town if you’re not here, like who’s gonna drive me?’’ I asked.

She looked at me like I had 4 heads and responded:

‘’Darling, I have 2 personal drivers. I’m going to assign you one. That reminds me to give you that,’’ She stretched over the table to hand me 2 small cards. Then she returned to her place and we continued eating.

‘’The white one with your picture on it will be your resident card; it’ll help you go in and out this area without trouble. The other one is a credit card with a lot of money on it, if you need to go shopping or buy something. I’m not going to tell you how much there’s on it, you’ll figure that yourself. What I’m going to tell you is that you can’t spend over 10k $ a week because the card is programmed to be blocked after that amount is exceeded.’’

‘’Oh my god, are you really serious? This is a lot of money..! um thank you so much!’’

Was all I could say after she said that.

‘’You’re welcome sweetie, before I go to sleep there’s one more thing I want to tell you.’’

‘’Yes?’’ I responded with a wide smile.

‘’Edgar will assign you a maid tomorrow and he’ll give you a new ipad with an electronical agenda. It’ll inform you on what schedule you’ll have because we sometimes need to go visit someone or attend neighbours parties. Anyway, you know how an agenda works right?’’

‘’Right.’’ I then said.

‘’I work Monday till Friday so the only time I’m home is on the weekend. So, see you next Friday night sweetheart.’’

Eva got up from her chair and started walking towards her room, but just as she was passing through the open doors she added:

‘’You look exactly as him.’’ With that she disappeared in the huge house probably going to her room.

I knew exactly who she was referring to; my dad. Her words made me smile because everyone always tells me that I have the physic of my father and character of my mother, so it made me think of them and our simple way of living. Ah compared to here, actually you can’t even compare that!

With a foolish smile I exited the dining room where the maids were starting to clean everything already and went straight to my room.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth, then dressed up in my pink old pyjamas that smelled just like home, jumped in the really comfortable bed and quickly feel asleep, exhausted by this day, to the background sound of the television playing the movie: ‘’Titanic’’.

‘’Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on.. and on…’’
