Chereads / The Arrangement: Book 1 / Chapter 2 - Dinner

Chapter 2 - Dinner

Ariel's POV:

" Ms. Lopez, you have an interview today!" I sigh and roll over. " I'm up, please get the Limo ready!" I heard the door close and I sat up. I walked into my closet and pulled out my tan pants, black strapless crop top, and black leather jacket. I put it on, then I walked into the bathroom. I straighten my long curly hair and did my makeup. I walked over to my shoe closet and grabbed my black high heel's.

Then I walked down stairs. I grabbed a coffee and walked out to the limo. "James take me to the interview!" He nods and we leave. When we got to the station, I guess thats it would be called. There were fan's everywhere I looked. I stepped out of the car and had flashes of light almost blind me again.

I walked into the building and saw the Interviewer. She walked up to me. She has a tall black girl She was beautiful. " Hello Ms. Lopez. I hope your day is going too! We will start in 10 minutes. You can have a seat on the cutch!" I nod. Her voice damn... This is why I'm bisexual!

After waiting 9 minutes she sat down across from me. " We're on air in 5...4...3...2...1!" I took a deep breath. " Today ladies and gentle man, We are here with Ms. Ariel Lopez... Tell us Ariel, what is it like to be one of the richest people in America?" I smiled and nodded. " The rich life is aswome sometimes. I mean I hate some of the responsibilities but, I was born into this life and there isn't anything I can do about it!" She nods. " So, has your father been thinking about giving you His business yet?" I sighed. " I never know what is going on in my father's head... But I do have to say, my father is still doing a good job with running the business, so I wouldn't be surprised is my father didn't give it to me until he was so to old to run it."

" We heard that your father want's to run for president, is this true?" I shake my head. " No, not that I know of. My father, doesn't like politicians very much... Most of those are just rumor's. But as I said, I never know what is going through my dad's head!"

The rest of the interview went well, after it was over I left and went home. My father called me to his office, which is never good!

I knock on the office door. I heard a slit," Come in." I opened the door and my father had a proud look on his face. " You did very good on the interview!" " Thanks dad." I gave him a fake smile. " Now, I wanted to tell you that there will be a dinner tonight and you have to join!" " But-" " No but's. You are coming and that is finally!" I rolled my eyes. " Whatever, I'll go get ready..."

I walked out of the office and went up to my room. I walked into my closet and grabbed my black leather pants, red and black shirt, and black combat shoe's. I feel like pissing off my father tonight!

I walked it to my bathroom. I brushed through my hair. Then I grabbed my hair curler and curler my hair. Then I desisted that I didn't want to put on much makeup so, I did mascara, eye liner, and some blush...

After I was done in the bathroom I walked into my room and went over to my jewelry box thing and picked out my silver snack necklace. ( You'll understand why later on).

After I was down getting ready I walked down stairs and saw the Garcia's. Of course father! I sighed and walked in. My father turned to me and rolled his eyes. " Ariel, I told you to wear a dress!" " Actually father, you told me that we were having a dinner with some people, and then I left the room to get ready. You never said I couldn't wear pants. So.Suck.It.Up!" I growled at him. I turned to Mr. and Mrs. Garcia. " It's nice to see you again. I hope my father isn't boring you with business talk!" " No, he isn't. He was tell us more about you!" I nodded and sat down.

" Tell me Ariel, Do you really want to run a business like your father's...?" I sighed. I have to lie. Damn it. " I- um, yes. *I turned to my father* Yes, I would. I have always followed in his foot steps scents I was a child!" I sighed and turned back to Mr. Garcia. He nods. " Well, Ariel. There's something I need to tell you..." I turned to my father. " Yes father?"

He took a deep breath. " Before, I start, you have to promise not to say a word until I finish ok?" I roll my eyes and nod. " Ok, well, The Garcia's are not just any type of Business people. They are the leaders of the Garcia Mafia... And well, I have Arranged a wedding for you and Alexander Garcia..." I opened and closed my mouth like a fish. I stood up and walked over to my father. " How dare you! Mother would be so angry with you!" " Wait, your not scared of us?" I turn to Mr. Greek God and shook my head. " I have no reason to be scared of you. I have known of the Mafia world... I know of all that shit... My mother was apart of that world... She made me train so I could defend myself. She was sold to my father... I guess it runs in the family!" I turned back to my father.

" Why! Why do I have to marry who ever Alexander Garcia is?" " Uh, that would be me..." I turn to see Mr. Greek God.... Fuck me... " Ok, well I know who you are now, but why do I have to marry you?" He sighed... " Well, your father has been doing human trafficking on our territory and well , it come with a price..." I rolled my eyes. " So, your just buying me off my father?" " I have no intuition on getting married but as your father said, this is the mafia world. I need a wife and an heir... And we are not buying you off your father..." I roll my eyes. " Fine, I'll marry you." "It will be good to have another female in the house!" I turn to the girl. " I smile. " When are we getting 'Married?" " Next month... You move in at the end of the week..." I sighed and sit back down. The girl leaned over and whispered," Don't worry, Alex isn't as bad as he sounds. He's a sweet heart!" I nod. " Hi, I'm Alexis. Alex's twin!" " Nice to meet you!" " I hope we become best friends!" I nod. It will be good to have a friend! Maybe this is for the best... Maybe
