Cindy appeared from the kitchen door and sat next to me on the chair.
"What did he say?"
She asked , concern evident on her face. I told her about how Franco asked my opinion on marriage and everything I told him and how he suggested for a date. Cindy listened quietly,evaluating the situation and spoke,
"I don't think he is pretending. He doesn't have any reason to..."
The point she kept was worth pondering, Franco doesn't have to pretend anything.He is the future alpha of Italy and can get whatever he wants without pretending.But believing that he actually wanted to know my opinion was out of the question. Is he really good?
No, I could not convince myself to be of the opinion that he is unlike other men of the world.
"Give him a chance,El.Maybe he is worth it."
Cindy suggested, and I realise we don't usually have serious conversations like this and I did not notice ,how Cindy is been dragged in all these things because of me.
"Thank you so much Cindy for being on my side. You are right I should give him a chance and try to understand him before passing a judgement."
I said.
"Yes,that's my girl.Bestie hug?"
She asked and we both hugged each other for few moments,when sawyer appeared,
"Your father has been calling you, why aren't you picking his call?"
He pointed at Cindy.
"Oh! I left my phone at El's room.Thanks for informing."
Cindy said and went to my room, followed by me.
"So, I guess time to say goodbye for today. See you tomorrow."
She said.
"I don't think we'll be able to meet tomorrow."
I said apologetically. We won't be able to each other tomorrow because of Callavino's Christmas party. That would be at eve but I needed to do preparations before.
"Ah! yes, the party. Enjoy to the fullest and miss me there."
She said as if ordering.I raised an eyebrow at her and gave a lopsided grin and asked teasingly,
"Why would I miss you there,when I'll be flirting with those hot guys?"
"Well, I believe Franco will take care of it well."
She spoke back. This girl really knows how to pull my legs.
"You really don't have any sensors attached to your mouth, do you?"
I laughed as our conversation was supposed to be a joke. I walked Cindy outside the main door,where her driver was waiting in the car parked beyond the fountain. I searched for Franco Ferrari but it wasn't there, he must have went for touring around. Cindy left when I heard screeches of wheel and turned back to find Franco in his Ferrari, wearing a tracksuit,he must have went for his evening exercising.
My mother came from inside an said,
"I got a call from the Bien Habille Boutique and they say your dress for the party is ready.So you can go and collect it now and do not delay on getting it as boutique will be closed tomorrow."
Mom informed and before I could reply Franco joined us and greeted my mom.
"Sure,I'll get it.Where is Sawyer?"
I asked.
"He was having some conversation with your father in the library,you can take someone else with you."
She answered and I dis not wanted to go with anyone else than Sawyer.
"Fine."
I said hesitantly.
"Are you going somewhere?"
Franco asked.
"Yes, I needed to collect my dress from the boutique for tomorrow."
I admitted.
"Well, I can drive you there."
He offered and my mom quickly responded,
"Yeah,that will be great of you to take her. Just come for dinner, don't be late you two."
She said and left.
"My car is this way, I rented it before landing to Paris."
He said.
I nodded and followed him to his rented car.
We left the apartment and he soon sped up the car.
"High speed driving makes me dizzy."
I said when I was actually enjoying it.
"Oh! OK I'll slow down."
He said apologetically.
After half an hour of drive we reached the boutique, it was luxurious with the expensive furnitures and dresses they put on the mannequin were so elegant. I haven't visited this place since long while.
I went to the counter followed by Franco and asked about my order in Frech,which Franco obviously could not understand.He just listened quietly trying to grasp the words which made me smile.He is cute.oh! I should not pass any judgement now!
I collected my dress, I was supposed to try it on to check the fittings but I didn't.
We left the boutique and reached car.
"You are more attractive when you speak French."
He complimented. He is definitely not from our world.
"Well, I wasn't knowing that."
I joked. He laughed and unknowingly I said,
"You look gorgeous when you laugh."
He stared me intently and I quickly sat on the car,trying to avoid his gaze and he took his driver's seat and ignited the engine.
