Date (1)

Her phone rang for the umpteenth time and she wanted to explode. It was much easier when only Lucy had access to her contact details. She didn't know how her parents found them but they had resorted to blowing up her phone. She debated turning it off and decided that would not be a permanent solution. They would simply resume calling as soon as she turned it back on. 

She took a deep sigh and answered it, tapping her lips with her index finger for Liam to remain silent. "What do you want?" 

She heard a similar helpless sigh on the other end before her father spoke. "Ximena, your mother and I don't want to be estranged from you, you know? It would be best if we could all get along as families should." 

"We would get along just fine if you didn't resort to trying to ruin my life once you found out you could not control me." She snapped. She mentally counted the seconds until he blew up. He always did whenever he couldn't get his way.
