After 11 years

Chapter 4

Violetta's POV:

After some time everyone withdrew from the hug, I take off my mic with help from Ludmilla and I see Federico helping Leon. As I proceed to walk to our table to grab something to drink, Ludmilla turns me around and I see my dad and Angie standing on the little stage that's build. I don't exactly know why, but my eyes already start to tear, I'll just try to keep it in. The projector starts and I see picture of myself when I was little.

G: "Violetta...look at these pictures you were so little and you will always be my little girl. You grew up so fast, it feels like yesterday when you were that little. I know I've not always been the best dad, but I have the feeling we became closer to each other the last couple years. I don't know what I would do without you. After your mom died, we both had such a hard time, but luckily we were together. There is still a gap in our lives where she belongs, but I know for sure she would be really proud of you. You look so beautiful and she would think the same."

I see my father swallowing to keep the tears back, but I can't anymore. I break and feel some tears rolling down my cheeks, I take a look at the ceiling as Leon puts his arm around me. He steps behind me, so both his arms are around my waist, I grab them and he gives me a kiss on my head.

G: "Luckily I found new love," he says as he puts his arm around Angie, "and I'm so happy you found love too. Even though you will start your own new live with Leon now, I hope that you still sometimes will come and visit your old dad. I love you Vilu and I will give you this as advice: Don't take things for granted, because we both know what can happen."

I look at Leon whit a soft smile and then back at my father, who I give a little nod.

G: "Oh and Leon, if you ever hurt her...you know what will happen." he says with a serious face, which turns into a smile really quick.

The whole crowd including me giggles as Leon puts his hands above his head.

Ang: "Violetta...my little niece, even though you are more like a daughter now. You're not so little anymore, I'm so thankful that I can be here today. I know I missed a lot of your life, but I'm so happy that we're back together and that I don't have to miss this. As your father already said, I know Maria would be really proud of you, you chose the right man. At the beginning I had doubts about Leon, but he grew up and became a real man. And I'm so proud of you too Leon, even though we're not really related, you all became family the three years I taught you in the Studio. I love you both and I know you will be good for each other. And now dance and have fun, because if you did it right, and I know you did it right, this will be the only night you can dance your butt off at your own wedding!" She ends her speech cheerfully.

Leon and I both laugh and we look at each other, I get lost in his beautiful eyes and our heads start moving closer to each other.

G: "Hé, hé, hé, hé! Not in front of my eyes." My father interrupt us, just before our lips touch.

I startle and move away from Leon.

G: "No I'm kidding. Go ahead." He says as I give him an annoyed look.

I role my eyes and look back at Leon, this time we don't take the time and our lips meet each other quickly. I hear the crowd cheering, but I don't care, because I already got lost in the kiss again. After some time, that feels way to shot for me, we break from our kiss. We rest our heads against each other as I breath a bit heavy, I feel my chest rising as we both smile and look at each other.

F: "I already feel sorry for the people in the room next to them tonight!" He screams above the cheering and it changes into laughing.

We both give him a mad look, but can't keep our laughs in.
