Returning home

Chapter 20 - Practicing

German's POV:

After the wonderful night I spent together with Angie I wanted to wait for her to wake up, but as I know her she's going to say what I'm really afraid to hear... But I know she enjoyed it too! So I decided to leave, but before I did I left her a message beside her.

Dear Angie,

I'm sorry for doing what I did last night, but you need to know that I love you and even if you think it was a mistake for me it wasn't.

You can hate me if you want and I promise I won't bother you with this anymore... But you have to know that you can always trust me in anything.

Love, German xxx

After I wrote this I left and went back home.

Angie's POV:

I woke up in the morning and I found a piece of paper next to me with a message on it and a beautiful red rose and after I read it I suddenly remembered what just happened last night.

- Damnit... - I muttered.

But to be honest I didn't really mind, but what I read in that message that German left me made me cry and made me remember that soon he'll be a married man... But I won't be his wife... And this makes me sad... But the last night's memories will always stays in my head.

Suddenly a knock on my door snapped me out of my thoughts.

I went downstairs to open it and it was Pablo.

- Ah, good morning! - I said.

- Morning - he murmurred - Can I talk to you for a moment?

- Yeah, sure - I nodded and let him in to the living room - So... what do you want to talk about?

- I was just curious about the show that you're gonna do for those "important visitors"...

- Ah, so Gregorio told you that... - I muttered - What do you want to know exactly?

- Can you actually take some of the kids from the Studio into the show too?

- I'll ask the boss, but I probably can - I nodded with a smile - I was thinking about the same anyway. Some of the kids would be good... Plus Gregorio will help me as well.

- I'm kind of surprised that he's so helpful... - Pablo muttered.

- Me too... But I'm glad he agreed to help me... atleast I don't need to deal with Nicholas alone... - I said, smiling to myself.

Later I went to the Castillo house and even though I haven't seen Priscilla yet I'm already feeling so disgusted.

But then I saw German and I couldn't help, but blushing violetly and he probably noticed it too because he winked at me.

- Angie, Angie! - Vilu appeared.

- Ah, Vilu! Before we start I need to ask you something... - I said.

- What is it?

I explained everything to her and she became really excited.

- So? Would you like to join to the show? - I asked her, but the answer was very obvious.

- Yes! I'd love to!

- Alright - I smiled.

- And who are those "important guests"? - questioned German.

- The count didn't tell us more information yet... They'll be coming in 2-3 months - I replied, not even looking at him.

- I see... - he murmurred - Well, I'll be in the office if you need anything girls - he said then left us alone in the living room.

On the next day everyone got together in the count's house. He had a huge room which was more like a theater so we can practice there freely. There was some kids from the Studio too: Violetta, Leon, Andres, Diego, Broudey, Camilla, Francesca, Naty and Ludmilla.

Gregorio, Nicholas and Angie began to teach the group a choreography that they planned already and it went really well.

For the show the count decided that I should sing a duett too with someone. Firstly he said that I should do it with Nicholas, but it didn't work out since I feel like I could just kill him, so he told me that I can choose someone else for it.

- But who should I choose... - I murmurred to myself when we took a break.

- How about me? - asked Gregorio behind me which made me jump.

- Are you sure about it? - I said as I turned around to face him.

- Yeah... why not?

- Then okay... I'd like to sing with you - I said with a smile and he smiled back.

Later we started working on our duett while Nicholas was working with the group.

German's POV:

On the afternoon I decided to go and see what are Vilu and the others doing exactly at the count's house.

When I was there one of his servants were already at the door, ready to open it for the count who just arrived.

- Ah, Mr. Castillo! - he smiled - Are you looking for me or.....?

- Actually... I'm looking for my daughter and Angie - I replied.

- Ah! They're probably practicing inside!

- Yes, Sir! - nodded a servant who was standing beside him.

- Lead him to them, Bertuccio! - said the count and the servant nodded.

- Aren't you coming? - I asked from the count.

- Unfortunately I can't - he replied - I'm waiting for a friend of mine to talk about some work stuff.

- I see...

Bertuccio took me to one of the huge rooms inside the house where a group of people were dancing and singing.

When I looked around I found Vilu first.

- Hey! - I said as I walked up to her.

- Dad! What are you doing here? - she asked.

- I wanted to see what are you working on here - I replied.

- I see.

- And where is Angie?

- Over there with Gregorio! - said Vilu as she pointed at the other side of the room and I saw her there, dancing with Gregorio.

Seeing them together like this makes me so jealous! I want to be there with her, but I can't...

I watched them quietly as he spinned her around and she ended up in his arms while they stared into each others eyes and their faces were very close.

She looks at him on the way she used to look at me. She still would, but she avoids eye contact with me lately...

I felt like I was burning inside from anger and jealousy, but my wedding is very close now and she didn't say a word... She obviously doesn't love me anymore...
