The promise

The promise

We went down to the party we shared while we danced. It was already dawn. It was 3:40 in the morning and only Anthony Dominique Carol, her partner and I were left.

Dominique said

I have never seen you so happy before, not even when you left boarding school, not even on our vacation in Majorca, not even when you signed your contract with the fashion house in Paris and it is almost impossible to believe how a person can fill you with life like that.

Carol stood up with a glass in her hand and said

Well, I toast because this is the most beautiful couple that my eyes have seen all my life.

And you Gentil I don't understand then why you quit my club

Gentil covered his face smiling and then said

It's just that I don't like women, only her and it's not that I like her. I've been in love with her since the first day I saw her.

I hugged her and at that moment Dominique raised her glass and stood up.

I want to respectfully ask a favor on behalf of myself and Samantha and that it is like an unbreakable pact of friendship here is at stake my title in royalty my inheritance my future as well as Samantha's image and career is compromised I ask you Carol to your partner to you beautiful Anthony to never comment with anyone what is happening here today and to keep private this relationship that you are seeing as well as my true relationship with Samantha.

We all stood up and toasted and it occurred to me

Since now I got the love of my life back I want that from now on I will be able to see her again.

And I went back to see Gentil

You my love know that you have all my support for whatever you need to finish your career for whatever you want and to you Carol I want to thank you in the only way I know how to do it I will be your capital partner for the opening of your second club tiffany just tell me when we start the project

Carol hugged her partner in excitement

And then she took my hand and Gentile's hand and said

Knowing you has been my greatest blessing so count on my absolute discretion and fidelity for the rest of my life to this friendship because you and Dominique deserve to be happy.

And we toasted and when the sun came up Anthony and Gentil left I kept her number and she kept mine everything would be perfect from now on everyone went home I went to bed and quickly fell asleep deeply waking up at 3 pm I took a shower I checked my phone and I had many messages some from my dad some from my mom some from my sister from the agency of the TV channel

And I started to answer all of them. I knocked on Dominique's door when the doorbell rang and when I opened it it was my dad.

I was surprised because the house was messed up because of the party and I said

Dad, what are you doing here?

I was worried I was writing to you and your mom and you didn't answer. I see the reason was a big party.

Yes Dominique planned a party to inaugurate our arrival.

I was just praying to God that Dominique didn't call any man and he would come down naked like he used to do so I said

I'll let Dominique know you're here

I knocked on the door again very slowly and when she didn't answer I took the auxiliary key and opened the door.

Just as I imagined there were two men in Dominique's room.

I pulled him by the foot and he opened his eyes.

I told him very slowly

Stand up Dominique my dad is here

He quickly jumped up, waking up his companions. We both placed a finger on our lips as a sign of silence and we could hear daddy's footsteps coming up the stairs.

Run Dominique get them in the bathroom

They ran and I kicked the clothes until I got under the bed so dad wouldn't notice and jumped on Dominique pretending I wanted to wake him up.

Stand up love my daddy's here

And my daddy peeked into the room.

Never mind daughter let him rest

So I went downstairs with my dad and called the cleaning staff.

Daughter, I do want you to have a lot of responsibility now that you live alone with Dominique. I don't want you to neglect your career or your reputation and this kind of party in your own home is not a good idea.

It was just this one to inaugurate the apartment, I promise there won't be another party here.
