I want to explain everything to you

I want to explain everything to you

I wiped my tears and said

Are you crazy?

What engagement?

Listen to me if we announce an engagement I can justify that I want to meet your whole family and then say that I would like to finish my studies there my father will not be upset and I know that he will support me and then we can look for your love and explain everything to him.

I looked at him and smiled

Are you sure Dominique?

He answered

Do you have a better idea?

At this point if she really is or was waiting for you she must be disappointed anyway the best thing is for me to explain it to her I will accompany you if you want when you talk to her.

It was simply the best idea in the world even I would not have thought of it that same day my parents phoned.

Hi Samy, it's mom and dad, we saw the news and we were happy but at the same time we were surprised.

Dad is that I had agreed with Dominique that it was not yet the time to make anything public.

But why not daughter

Dad I have just signed to be the image of one of the most well known design houses in the world, I still have to do the commercial for Revlon and Wella, I have many professional commitments that I don't want to be interrupted by everything that merited a commitment, now there are cameras and reporters outside the palace and they will follow me everywhere.

Daughter but your career is not going to stop.

I don't know dad I am angry with Dominique he promised me no publicity yet and look what happened.

And Dominique where?

Here he is preparing some micheladas

Let me say hello to him

I said out loud

Dominique my dad wants to talk to you

He laughed without a sound because he was next to me.

Hello Mr. Broxon

Hi Dominique how are you

What can I say with Samantha mad but I swear it was my dad who leaked the pictures.

He'll get over it

But tell me when is the engagement

I'm looking forward to it in 4 months when the semester ends so I can go and meet Samantha there, although we can't travel until Samantha's contract with the fashion house expires.

It would be wonderful you are welcome to our house. Please send me the invitation because we will attend.

Of course we will.

This is Samantha

I took the call and answered

Dad please thank you to keep this private I don't want my relationship to turn into a public soap opera I still have to leave the 8 shows I have scheduled here as well as the commercials because the contract is signed for a year

Perfectly there is enough time to plan your return. I will buy a beautiful penthouse for when you want privacy but I would love for you to be able to live at home like before we have missed you.

Okay, I'll think about it, I don't know if I want to come back yet, I like it here.

Dad and my sister

This way and I'll put her on

She picked up the phone and said

Hello sister, what a joy your engagement and how did I not know anything if not for the news?

(In quotation marks the key words)

Yeah, I didn't want to rush but talk to me "what's new".

For the first time my sister could understand that it was Gentile she was asking about and she answered

"Well nothing alone still waiting" and "I don't understand because you saw how beautiful I look".

"Yes very beautiful"

"Hermosisima" and

"Surprised I guess like everyone else" you got your prince charming here there is no one in the whole country who has not seen the news

"Yes I can imagine a cold bath" for everyone "but when I see you I will explain everything in detail how I met him" as I now have a beautiful blue blooded groom who I will marry

"Yes you have a lot to explain" so I hope to see you soon "I will make it a point to tell" everyone today how happy you are I miss you.

And I miss you and I'm leaving you because I have a dinner with my curmudgeon father-in-law.

I said good bye to everyone and I got pensive Dominique noticed this and asked

Is something wrong?

My sister spoke to me in code like when we were little girls and told me that Gentil was waiting for me and that she has been alone waiting for me and that she is beautiful and that this was probably a water bath and that she will try to see her and talk to her about me today.

Samantha think that as soon as your contract is over we will go and look for her, I promise I won't let you down.

I burst into tears again and hugged him and then I broke away and said

Let's make this look so real that no one has any doubt but I need a favor I need to get in touch with my sister tomorrow.

From here it's impossible all calls are recorded it's your parents who always call let me think of something today so I can call her tomorrow.

Okay and thank you Dominique after all this time I've heard from her for the first time.

We went to dinner with Dominique's family and there he broke the news that at the end of the semester we would make our engagement official.

That night I went to sleep early because I was still carrying the hangover from the New Year's Eve party when I got up as usual I picked up the newspaper and the news about my engagement with Dominique appeared again I drank coffee and ate toast sitting in front of the TV and Dominique came in.

I know what we can call?

I looked at him and pulled him to the furniture so he could sit down.

Tell me what idea did you come up with?

You will call to ask your sister to be in charge of telling your aunt that she should be the one to make your dress for the day of the engagement, you will ask her to make it spectacular and that you want it to be a surprise for everyone that not even your parents or the press or anyone else can see it, just her and your aunt because you want to surprise and at that moment you will try to talk like last time in code.

I jumped up and hugged him and kissed him and I said

You are great

I kissed him on the mouth and he pushed me off the furniture and fell on the floor and wiping his mouth he said

Yuck!

Control your emotions

At that moment we both laughed

We waited until noon and I called and luckily my sister answered.

Daisy?

Samantha hi how are you?

Fine and you?

Fine

Listen to what I'm going to tell you, I need you to talk to my aunt, I want her to make my engagement dress, nobody better than her to make something unique that neither my mom nor my dad will see it, only you and my aunt.

Perfect I will tell her today I will take the opportunity to tell you that "yesterday it was chaos with the news of your engagement".

Yeah, and what they say

They can't get over their astonishment here

But "you see the positive attitude" of the people.

She was silent and then said

You have to leave it to time and I'm sure those who don't like it will understand.

You think

Well there is no other option

Well thanks, don't forget to give the message to my aunt and have her call me back.

I cut the call and immediately I knew that Gentil was not taking the news of my engagement very well.
