Episode 11

Alana

It had to be him, Benjamin!!! Okay, he's very handsome, but he's spoiled, I'm going to have my work cut out for me, so cocky!

I'm going to call Isis and see if she can help me with the shopping, because I don't know how to do this alone.

Isis - Hi gorgeous.

Alana - Hi Isis, sorry to bother you but I need your help.

Isis - You're not bothering me, Alana, you've always helped me and you've always been kind and friendly to me, even though I don't deserve it, I even tried to lead you astray.

Alana - That's in the past. But can you help me buy some clothes to pretend to be Benjamin's wife?

Isis - Wow!!! That's going to be so cool, and I'm sure he's going to fall in love with you.

Alana - I don't want him to fall in love with me!!! Don't be silly, or I'm out of here, Isis.

Isis - Okay, sorry, I can bring a friend along, she's also a friend of his, and she knows the places he goes to.

Alana - That's fine with me, Isis.

We can meet after lunch at the mall or do you want me to pick you up?

Isis - We can meet there, whoever gets there first, send a message around 1:30 p.m.

Can you do it?

Alana - Okay, it's a deal.

Alana went to talk to her sister Celina, she needed to tell her and her brother-in-law Felipe.

They are a little shaken by everything Alana says.

Felipe - But Mr. Henrique couldn't have done this to you, Alana, you always supported him and now that he seems to have come to his senses or is ashamed, he does this! If it were me, I'd let him screw up! Excuse me, I know he's your father, but this is really messed up, Alana.

Alana - He's my father and Ce's, I can't let him die and after all, it's only two years and this Benjamin isn't that scary.

Celina - You liked him, I could tell.

Alana - No! And it's better than if he were some creepy old man, right?

Celina - Yeah, that's true.

She says goodbye and promises to meet them after class, her brother-in-law was always involved in those illegal races, in fact, he helped organize them. Not everything is rosy, right?

Isis

Mrs. Luiza called me and asked me to help Alana, of course I would help even if she didn't ask, but I thought it was nice of her to care.

I'm going to call Gabi to come along, she's good at matching clothes and accessories, and I'm sure she'll love Alana. I'm going to call Gabi for lunch.

Gabi - Hi Isis, what's up, creature?

Isis - Let's have lunch with me and I'll tell you.

Gabi - Okay, where?

Isis - Tell me a restaurant.

Gabi - Perfect, I'm coming.

They meet there.

Gabi was a good friend of Benjamin's, Ravi's and Heitor's, and she had known them for a while, she had even tried to date them, but she liked girls, so no! She was really cool and had been a friend of Benjamin's family for a long time, her parents were good friends with his parents.

Isis

I tell Gabi everything, I trusted her and I knew she would find out soon. She is stunned and thinks it's hilarious when I talk about Alana. And of course, she agrees to help right away.

While we were having lunch, Benjamin, Rave, and Heitor show up.

Them - Hi girls.

Us - Hi, wanna have lunch with us?

Them - Of course, we were coming even if you didn't invite us.

Gabi - I know everything, Benjamin and she smiles.

Heitor - You know he got the first brush-off of his life this morning and laughs.

Us - What do you mean? Tell us everything, Heitor.

Benjamin - Idiot.

Rave - Tell us, man! I wasn't around this morning, I'm out of the loop.

Heitor laughing - The one who's going to be his fake wife is the one who gave him the first brush-off.

And lots of "Dude!" and laughter.

Us - laughing

Isis - It was her, Benjamin, the one I was going to introduce you to and you backed out, remember?

Benjamin - Seriously?

Isis - Yeah, and she's quite different from the girls you know, I'm just going to ask you one thing, respect her, she's a really good girl, for real.

Gabi - She brushed you off, I like her already.

Benjamin - One, two, the girl is a beast, fierce.

They all laugh at him.

Rave - Since when are you afraid of women, Benjamin?

Benjamin - Laugh because you don't know the pepper, I said nicely, honey, that because of appearances we'll have to appear in love, she accepted but she already reprimanded me to my face.

Gabi - What do you mean?

Benjamin - She told me that if I overdid it, it was over, ask for a divorce, and he goes on telling them and they were laughing at him.

Isis speaks only to Benjamin, after lunch we're going with her to the mall, to make her even more beautiful.

Benjamin - Isis, spend whatever it takes, she's going to be my wife so, you know, despite being fierce, she's very beautiful.

Isis - Don't you think you're getting a little carried away, do you really like her?

Benjamin - I don't know, she annoys me but I end up doing what she asks, it's crazy, I accepted everything she asked, just don't say that out loud, please, let it stay between us.

Isis - All right, Benjamin, I'm just saying one thing, you're going to fall in love with her. Trust me and smiles.

They go back to talking to the others, say goodbye and they go to the company and we go to the mall to meet Alana.

Alana

As soon as I get to the parking lot I get a message from Isis that they are waiting for me at the main entrance.

When I arrive Isis introduces me to Gabi, apparently very nice.

Gabi - Benjamin is a lucky guy, you're very pretty, Alana.

Alana - Thank you, Gabi, you're very pretty too.

Isis - Don't say that or she'll fall in love with you.

Gabi - It wouldn't be hard, but my boyfriend got there first and she smiles.

Alana just smiles and says, but what now? I don't know where to start, I'm lost, I don't know how to buy clothes, this world I'm about to enter is very different from mine, I don't know if I can do this.

Gabi and Isis - Of course you can! We'll help you and teach you a few things.

Alana - Hands over the card Luiza had given her, hold this, I'm embarrassed.

Isis - Don't worry, we will, right, Gabi?

Gabi - Absolutely, and let's talk about some snakes you're going to have to face.

Carol and Vivi are in love with, or worse, crazy about Benjamin, their parents are very close friends with Benjamin's parents and grandparents, so you're going to have to learn to deal with them, and they're quite nasty and provocative.

Alana - I think I'm going to give up, Mr. Conceited is enough.

Gabi - Starts laughing - Mr. Conceited, by any chance, is Benjamin?

Alana - That's him, he's so full of himself! He thinks he's irresistible.

Isis and Gabi laughed so hard they almost fell down - This is going to be better than a movie.

Isis - But you know you're going to have to pretend and you're going to have to kiss the pretty boy and caress him.

Gabi - Look Alana, many girls would give anything to be in your shoes, so you'll have a lot of enemies without even knowing it.

Alana - Why don't they just take him home, they'd be doing us all a favor.

They laugh.

Alana - And as for appearances, I've made it very clear to him that there will be no funny business or exaggeration, but I know it's going to be a lot of work for me.

Gabi - Why do you say that?

Alana - Ego, he has a lot of it.

Gabi laughs - True, I agree, and Alana, I really like you.

Alana - Thank you, you're very kind to help me without even knowing me.

They continue shopping and Alana was beautiful so almost everything looked good on her, her only problem was that she wasn't very tall, in fact, she was even considered short, but nothing they couldn't solve in the best way.
