"Melanie!" I looked around, trying to spot the voice. I see Rebe waving her hand. "Mom, Dad, I'll be right back", I excused myself, walking over to her. She hugged me. "Oh god, chica, I've missed you! You look great! My mom's been uptight; lately, I'm on a short, tight leash." I managed to absorb everything she said.

"It's fine, really, I understand. Thank you! So do you! Love the boots!"

She smiled, taking a sip of her drink. "Go talk to your boy", she nudged me. "You sure? We haven't talked in a while. I don't mind," I pouted. She flicked her hand. "Go, chica, we have all the time in the world." I kissed her cheek. "Okay, catch up with you later."

"Good evening," I announced, walking up next to him. "Mel, you look beautiful!" He complimented me, cupping my face in his hands kissing my cheek. "You look quite handsome yourself" I gently pulled on his jacket.

"Is this him, sweetie?"

"Oh yes, Polo, these are my parents, Emerald and Andrew Jordan." He shook their hands. "Nice to finally meet you," my dad said, observing him. "Your quite handsome, Polo," my mom smiled at him.
His moms came over equally as happy and eager "Oh my Emmy, your still as beautiful as ever!" his mom, Begoña, gushed, greeting my mom kissing her cheeks. "Begoña, it's so nice to see you again! Mel told me it was you, but I couldn't believe it!" My mom exclaimed happily.

"Do you want anything to drink?" Polo asked me. "I can get it myself, don't worry," I kissed his hand. I walked to the bar to get some sparkling cider. I glanced to my right and saw familiar curls. "Hey you!" he turned, and I noticed the edge of his lip quirk up a bit.

"Hi. You look nice."

"Thank you. How are you?" I noted the look on his face and the three empty shot glasses. Should I press it?

"I'm fine. Just hate these kinds of functions" Ander shrugged, taking a shot.

"You hate charity?" I let out a snort.

"No, this suit and tie shit,"

"Ah, I see." I noticed someone in a gold dress whizzing around, "There's Lu. I should go thank her, seeing as she is the host."

"Yeah, sure. Enjoy your night, Mel."

I stopped in my tracks seeing Cayetanna and Polo talking closely, but I brushed it off. "Hi Lu!" her solemn expression quickly changed to a joyous one.
"Mel darling, oh, you look absolutely gorgeous!" she hugged and gave me my hundredth compliment thus far. "You too. You make that blue coat go with the dress so effortlessly," I placed my hand under my chin, admiring her.

Her phone started ringing. "Should I go?" She looked at the screen a bit puzzled, "No, no, it's fine."

"Hola", she answered, gesturing me to follow her.

"¿Diga?"

"¿Si? Perdona, no sé quién eres." I listened to the one-sided conversation intently as I couldn't hear the other person.

"¿Cómo?" She moved the phone from her ear and looked at the screen "¿Usted es la Madre de Cayetana?" She looked betrayed.

"Lu, ¿qué pasa?" I asked. She looked back at Polo and Cayetanna, then at me, still silent. "Lu!"

She bit her lip. "¡Ven conmigo!" She gripped my wrist, pulling me with her, not looking where she was going, bumped into Carla.

"Lu! Shit...What's going on? Have you seen a ghost?" Carla looked at me questioningly.
