Chapter 17 - The meeting

Angie's POV:

2 days passed since Priscilla threatened me and I decided to not to say anything about it, even though both German and Violetta were asking me about why am I so upset.

- Angie... I know you're lying - said German, looking worriedly at me.

- I'm fine... It's just Nicholas... - I admitted, but I wasn't planning to tell him the whole truth.

- What did he do to you?

- He... He cheated on me... - I stuttered.

- What?! With who??

- I... don't know with who exactly... I just saw him kissing with another woman...

I wanted to tell him so bad that Priscilla was cheating on him but who knows what can she do to keep me stay away from Violetta and German... I don't want to be away from them anymore...

- That bastard! - German groaned - And such a moron too! For leaving you... - he added while looked into my eyes and smiled.

- Calm down... - I said, smiling back - I'm already fine by having such a wonderful friend like you...

- Angie...

- Just hug me... This is all I need...

He didn't ask, just did as I asked him and hugged me gently.

I don't know why exactly... But I always feel like I could melt in his arms when he hugs me like this. I love how he does this. He can always calm me down.

Then my phone began to ring and I took it....

- Hello?

- Angeles! It's me, the count!

- Ah, hey!

- Can you come for a meeting today? I've talked to Nicholas and he told me that you two argued so...

- Ah, so you know it too...

- Yeah. But that's not my business... but we're having a meeting soon and I need you to come too.

- Okay, I'll be there!

Later that day I went to the count's house where Nicholas and some of our members of the group were already there and soon the count came too and he began to speak...

- Thank you for coming! We soon will have important visitors in Buenos Aires and I want to give them some kind of show... And I was thinking about you, guys!

- What kind of show do you want us to make? - questioned Nicholas.

- You guys have beautiful songs, great dance moves and everything! Should I say anything more?

- I think I got it... - I said while thinking - But I don't know if we're enough to that...

- What do you mean? Me and you are not enough to teach the whole group? - asked Nicholas, now turning to me - If this is all because of what happened then you...

- Not just that! - I cut him off - If those visitors are really that important then we need to make the perfect show for them! Am I right, Sir? - I said, turning to face the count who just nodded at me.

- That's right, that's right - he nodded - So what's the plan then?

- I have a good friend who maybe willing to help us... if that's okay with everyone too... He can be a bit too strict but that is only because he wants to do his best...

- I think that'll do it - said one of the members, Helen who's at the same time my close friend too.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

- Then I'll go and talk to him about this and ask him if he's willing to help, but I'm still not sure if he will so...

- It's okay - said the count - Talk to him and tell him the details.

- Okay - I nodded and a few minutes later the meeting ended so everyone headed to do their own business, but Nicholas just couldn't get off of my back.

- Angie, we need to talk - he said as he grabbed my arm.

- No! - I shouted - We have nothing to talk about!

- Angie, I...

- No! Priscilla has already done enough to me to feel so horrible because I need to lie to my family again and now what else do you want from me?! Who should I lie next?! Or what should I do?!

Nicholas froze and I decided to leave him there and walked a way as fast as I could and when I was far away enough I collapsed on the nearby bench and sighed deeply.

For god sake... why can't everyone just leave me alone already?!

As I was thinking suddenly a car stopped near me and the driver called out for me...

- Angie! Need a ride?

I looked up to see German in the car, waving at me.

- I'm sure you have better things to do now... - I replied.

- Come on! If a friend need help I can't just go away like that! - he said, smiling at me and I just gave in.

That damn smile that I just can't say no to...

I jumped in the car and kissed him on the cheek.

- Thank you... - I said, smiling.

- Hm? For what? - he asked, confused.

- For appearing here in the right time... I wasn't really in the mood to even stand up at the moment...

- Why? What happened?

- That's a long story...

- We'll have enough time to talk while we're driving to a restaurant - he said while grinning cheekily at me.

- ... Are you trying to say that you want to take me out for dinner?

- Maybe... - he winked.

- Hmm... Alright then - I said, grinning back at him - But what about Priscilla?

- Priscilla is out with a friend so she won't be home until late at night, Ramallo and Olga have a day off and Vilu's at Fran's... or Cami's... I keep getting confused by them...

- Her hair's black? - I asked, trying to hold back my laughter.

- Um... Yes!

- Then it's Fran - I laughed.

- Okay, okay... My bad - he laughed too and we began to drive to a restaurant and we had a great time, just talk and having fun together.
