Right From The Start {Book 2}

A Toast To Unity

Today is the day that German will no longer be a single parent. Today German and Violetta's family will be completely with Priscilla and Ludmilla as an addition. For Ludmilla, being sisters with Violetta was something off of her bucket list. Fate seems to want to bring them closer together as friends than enemies. 

The house is decorated in silky fabrics of white. Tables setup with fine dining setups as well as caters coming in to serve great food. Around noon guests began arriving in the best dressed outfits. Practically everyone was on time except for one, Ludmilla of course.

"Violetta do you know how long Ludmilla is going to take. Guests are arriving and she needs to get down here to greet our guests." [Priscilla]

"I don't know, let me go check on her." [Violetta]

"Thank you." [Priscilla]

Getting ready to move upstairs, Federico had overheard troubles Ludmilla is already causing. With the thought of wanting to talk with Ludmilla for days, Fede finds this to be his chance.

"Vilu. Let me go check up on Ludmilla." [Fede]

"No I got it." [Vilu]

"I kind of need to talk to her. This I figure could be my chance." [Fede]

"Oh. As long as you can get her down here, she is all yours." [Vilu]

In fact it was rather perfect for her. Olga came calling for Vilu's help, now that Fede is helping her out with problem she can trade it in for another.

Entering Ludmilla's new bedroom he knocks politely.

"I will be down there in a minute." [Ludmilla]

He opens up the door to only say;

"Can I come in?" [Fede]

"What are you doing up here Federico? Shouldn't you be helping out with the service?" [Ludmilla]

"I want to talk to you. I am sure this new change of your mom marrying German." [Fede]

"Don't do that Fede." [Ludmilla]

"Do what?" [Fede]

"Pretend to care. I am sick and tired of it." [Ludmilla]

"Ludmilla I am not pretending.!" [Fede]

"Come on. After you hearing about the crazy stunt I was trying to pull on Violetta you want nothing to do with me. The fact that you now want to talk to me when I am not happy about my mom marrying German because you want me to finally open up to. Well I am not that kind of girl Federico." [Ludmilla]

"When are you going to let go? To finally let down your guard for once to someone that clearly cares about you." [Fede]

"Never, because I can never trust anyone. I cannot even trust my own mother right now." [Ludmilla]

"Why do you say that?" [Fede]

"Look. I know how my mother is and this marriage is nothing different. Everything my mom does she does with a plan behind it." [Ludmilla]

"I don't seem to follow." [Fede]

"It's ok for you to not understand, I don't expect anyone else to. All I ask for is that you leave me alone. No matter what I feel about you it does not change who I am." [Ludmilla]

With that Ludmilla was more eager to get down stairs more than anything. As long as she can get away from Federico. For the time being, Diego is making his way to the party until someone brings a delay.

"Diego!" [Leon] 

"Hey Leon, want to walk in together?" [Diego]

"Does it look like I'm dressed for a wedding?" [Leon]
